INT. CENTRAL CITY – SECURITY SECTOR – MORNING SHIFT START
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK48R4PKzEw
[Industrial alarm blares. The light in Jason’s “apartment” flickers on. It’s a concrete cube with wires hanging like bad art. A poster reads: “STAY CHARGED. STAY VIGILANT. STAY LEGALLY OPERATIONAL.”]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhiwlQXuu7
[Jason stands in a power-charging pod. Sparks buzz as he finishes booting up.]

JASON
(yawning voice)
“Great. Another beautiful day in paradise. Nothing like waking up to the sound of existential duty and fire hazards.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyzEZ3HZSR
[He steps out. Right hand flickers and glitches slightly before reforming into a finger.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL81aw1j3hB
JASON
(to his hand)
“You done with your little identity crisis?”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBMY6FjWEf
[The room has a shelf full of spare parts, an emergency battery bar labeled “NOW WITH 12% LESS LEAD,” and a cracked mirror where Jason mockingly checks his reflection.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXuXB6PEsC
JASON
“Looking good, champ. Shiny, unappreciated, and still not fired. Somehow.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9WwGtiCQ
INT. SECURITY HQ – ARMORY FLOOR
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFWnCBH99R
[Rows of Security bots line up for daily assignments. Jason leans casually against the wall, ignoring the group stretch protocol. Nearby bots whisper and glance at him.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Np5jWsaxX
LABOR BOT #1 (whispering)
“Is that the Gearman unit? He eats Purifications.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoV16KVgyV
LABOR BOT #2
“Shouldn’t he be, like... chained up or something?”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VhM5JXbUE
JASON
(loudly)
“I’m sorry, were you talking to me or just malfunctioning publicly?”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmphHM1Dnb2
[The whisperers freeze. Jason smirks. A supervisor bot, bulky and boxy, stomps over with a clipboard screen.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt3vwME0Ps
SUPERVISOR BOT
“Gearman. You’ve got Wall Duty again. Purification sightings went up overnight. We need sarcasm and violence.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSAUyL8ASE
JASON
“Lucky for you, those are my top two skills.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFIAZzzxwR
[He takes his mission chip and plugs it into his arm. His HUD lights up with route data, target profiles, and a coffee coupon that expired 143 years ago.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MwbgsmhBz
INT. SECURITY LOCKER ROOM – MOMENTS LATER
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOkdQKXXvv
[Jason gears up. His axe locks onto his back magnetically. He glances at a memorial wall covered in names of fallen Security bots. Some crossed out. Some just melted into the wall.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxplC277BFu
JASON
(muttering)
“Rest in pieces, guys. Hopefully today I don’t join the wallpaper.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDThh9eupur
[He exits through the heavy metal doors, out into the cold, windswept outer patrol path.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRAxuydt8Z
EXT. OUTER WALL – CENTRAL CITY – CONTINUOUS
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2wnxOmPH0
[Jason walks along the massive perimeter wall. Snow hisses in the wind. Distant mechanical howls echo beyond the fog. On the horizon, shadows—Purification bots—move like ghosts.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbflqNTuXt
JASON (V.O.)
“People think Security bots are all brute force and bad aim. But here’s the thing—we see everything. The fear. The silence. The judgment. The oil stains no one wants to talk about.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEa35phZqc
[He pauses at a scanner checkpoint, watching the city glow behind him through the shield dome.]
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgu5ltVuD3
JASON
(flatly)
“Another quiet morning. Hate those. Means something loud’s coming.”
