Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
25Please respect copyright.PENANAeMu0dV7eKt
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAGmaGrRSgXN
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
25Please respect copyright.PENANAbslOzaVfmv
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAliDknh7Rv2
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAIWTTbO1rki
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAt8hdlnv1c9
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA4UHn2Ionqu
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAl9pmjsmD14
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
25Please respect copyright.PENANApEl7CCbNki
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAoYADJQZ0lz
> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."
25Please respect copyright.PENANA3bwiIE7Q8D
25Please respect copyright.PENANAaoIohCdqdN
25Please respect copyright.PENANAzFu4Fxidb0
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
25Please respect copyright.PENANA90CNWbpVB9
The memory sliced through him.
25Please respect copyright.PENANA240dEGNYYq
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAmEPVyT3LNM
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAG2POj9rcys
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
25Please respect copyright.PENANAHICnV5nj24
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
25Please respect copyright.PENANADFumj1uUU5
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAB1yJwjfjMX
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
25Please respect copyright.PENANAKw3heV0Ugi
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAXbjRGwVj4s
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAwrPsUMTkey
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA3PfB7Po1v7
25Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0onUSxEh4
25Please respect copyright.PENANAy7sll7KVS3
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
25Please respect copyright.PENANARe2xQVqtAU
“Vikrant.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAVUe4tLYEfP
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
25Please respect copyright.PENANAksUHy6Qwdv
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAqEZTK7wgAe
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ9aB8QXXB
> “Still alive, are you?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAeZFl7BBNDU
25Please respect copyright.PENANAW6bCBucRLl
25Please respect copyright.PENANAmFfxildoLT
He turned.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAQTwrHNbL58
Vikrant.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7KPQh32YH
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
25Please respect copyright.PENANA4cp4OBB3h1
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANATT2O9SRaDr
25Please respect copyright.PENANAcZZ3gNmJyr
25Please respect copyright.PENANAxtWJp0N6hX
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAMnQRhAtX2A
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAnmVRVbSP5k
25Please respect copyright.PENANAgaZmpRG71p
25Please respect copyright.PENANAwmqp7qeyD2
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
25Please respect copyright.PENANA6KYa1uNX8V
The screen flickered, then stopped.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAiOJMTSylxe
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAVP2lwwCbKN
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAC0kEaoxt4e
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
25Please respect copyright.PENANAmILikN1p71
Back at the CBI.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAS1O8tvFzYW
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
25Please respect copyright.PENANA68ce7kcolC
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAFZaQGEOhKf
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAtqFkNM8u2O
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
25Please respect copyright.PENANAf5bIEXDltl
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAP9cEoWMISF
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
