INT. SECURITY HQ – NORTH EXECUTIVE WING – NIGHT
251Please respect copyright.PENANA2BdawxMSw3
The lights are mostly dead. What’s left flickers against walls fused with pulsing organic alloy, metal veined with muscle-like tendrils. The floor squelches under boots. Heat haze ripples from the plasma weapons.

ADVANCING
251Please respect copyright.PENANAf2QMN67elZ
Jason leads the team through twisted hallways. His rifle hums low, barrel glowing faint orange.

SCOUT D3-MINI
“Corridor map corrupted. Hallways changed since last scan. It’s shifting.”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAVfWOETP3hg
A guttural, wet sound echoes ahead. Something drags across the ceiling.
251Please respect copyright.PENANAUa9WXyTept
SERGEANT R8
“Burn anything that moves. Stick to formation.”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAMvkCqBt2SU
HEAVY F2 steps forward—launches a wave of flame. The vines along the walls shriek, retracting violently into cracks like burnt nerves.

They pass an office door halfway sealed shut by alloy. Through the glass, the silhouette of an infected employee twitches, fused to her desk. Her eyes are bright violet.

ENCOUNTER
251Please respect copyright.PENANA6gKfbqQbXk
D3-MINI
“Lifeform detected—closing fast, above!”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAdPdV9YLHcg
From the shadows drops a parasitized bot—twisted limbs, ribcage open like wings, eyes glassy and wet with crystal sheen.
251Please respect copyright.PENANA9nljRpwa8U
JASON
“Contact!”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAO0GEIweM2T
F2 blasts it midair. A second comes from the flank—Jason raises his rifle, fires a precise bolt through its core. It melts inward, screaming in static.
251Please respect copyright.PENANA0V9AfB1cle
MEDIC O7
“They’re fast. Almost... intelligent.”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAJTEAxdujzt
JASON
“They were us. Remember that.”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAerfMpwsONf
They reach the elevator shaft, blown open from inside. The walls are coated in dark resin, pulsing slowly. Something climbs far below, but the view’s obscured.

PAUSE & RECON
251Please respect copyright.PENANA6SLjOLfpgq
SERGEANT R8
“Area clear for now. Prep climb harness.”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAkNLu60xVkn
D3-MINI launches micro-drones down the shaft. Footage returns: vines converging, like a nest being spun tighter.
251Please respect copyright.PENANAjfXK3gz7X8
JASON (watching feed)
“That’s not growth. That’s design.”
251Please respect copyright.PENANAx3avJrHfF3
R8
“Copy that. We’re getting closer to whatever’s controlling this mess.”

Suddenly—feedback shrieks through their comms. All lights flicker red, then die. Only the glow of plasma weapons remain.
251Please respect copyright.PENANAHqHHxHL96P
The building moans, deep and wet, like it's breathing.
251Please respect copyright.PENANAgYC7Z7kOU0
JASON (V.O.)
"HQ was supposed to be a fortress. Now it feels like a stomach. And we’re halfway swallowed."
