INT. JASON’S CUBE – DEAD OF NIGHT
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjoHP53AN
A thunder‑crack blast rattles the entire building—glassware trembles, spoon‑king face‑plants. Jason’s optics snap bright.

JASON
“That is not a curfew drone.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz5H0y90Fc
His texter chirps a high‑priority alert. Screen flashes red:
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOOpeVLyP1
> HQ PRIORITY:
“UNAUTHORIZED INVASION – CORE FACILITY BREACHED.
ALL SECURITY UNITS—RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.”

Jason vaults out of bed. SD‑A bolts upright, trench‑coat tangled. SD‑K drops from the ceiling, already battle‑ready.

JASON (fast)
“Stay here. Lock down the cube. If things go south—fly north.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T0ilX7YAe
SD‑K
“We’re not good at staying.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlYcHSN7HX
JASON
“Not a debate.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehOPiNhzYG
He slings his rail‑axe combo onto his back, pockets a spare mag, and slams out the door.

EXT. CENTRAL CITY STREETS – NIGHT
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN3oBn6AcC
Chaos brews. Labor bots cluster at windows, worried voices buzzing.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR7o5xohiT
PASSERBY BOT #1
“—sounded like the wall cracked!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSqrrqGDWM
PASSERBY BOT #2
“I saw a rupture of metal—like it was…growing.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuxSmhFY3d
Jason sprints, boots hammering the pavement. Sirens wail; maglev lines flicker offline overhead.

EXT. SECURITY HQ PLAZA – MINUTES LATER
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynXsHR7Etl
He skids to a stop—and freezes.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbkJ5QlOP
The HQ tower—once a cold monument of steel—is skewered by an enormous organic‑metal spire. It twists skyward like a black thorn, pulsing with dull crimson light. Fractured plating lies everywhere; flames lick broken windows. Smaller vines of living alloy creep from the spire’s base, fusing with wreckage, growing by the second.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVRzQONEv9
Security bots form barricades, weapons out, but hesitate—no clear target, only the impossible structure humming like a heartbeat.

JASON (under his breath)
“…Well, shit.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyeiHEMN72
Commander Nine‑2’s voice booms over external speakers—tinny, strained.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaLpmdJNLi
COMMANDER NINE‑2 (PA)
“Contain the perimeter! No one enters HQ core until we identify that thing!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR9PlHImxP
Jason grips his axe‑handle, visor reflecting the monstrous tower.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBExNC5yR7
JASON (V.O.)
“Organic metal… parasitic alloy… just leveled up.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxYIASRskh
He advances toward the line, ready to join the fight—eyes locked on the spire that pierces the night sky.
