INT. TEMPORARY SCIENCE STATION – POST-OP ROOM – NIGHT
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3iViq12fZ
The patrol unit, still steaming from the coolant flush, is herded into a long, cold corridor segmented by metal sliding doors and the stale smell of antiseptic.

COMMANDER NINE-2 (via intercom)
“All patrol units, report to decontamination and diagnostics. Unauthorized materials were detected on exterior surfaces. Full sampling and sanitation protocols initiated.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQKrejownO
The patrol groans in a perfectly robotic chorus.

INT. DIAGNOSTIC ROOM – LATER
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcxnnODuDy
A series of partitioned chambers buzz with electric hums. Inside one, JASON stands completely armorless, crossing his arms over his bare framework. His jacket, shirt, and pants are folded and stacked in a sad corner.

JASON
(grumbling)
“This is a war crime. This is a certified pervert robot operation. We go toe-to-toe with a flesh tower and this is how they thank us?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3RBnpFRFH
He winces as a sampling drone scrapes a tiny disc off one of his arm plates with a surgical blade.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeyejX1lAO
JASON
(raising voice)
“You guys enjoy peeling battle-worn armor off exhausted soldiers? Freak behavior. Just say it’s a kink station next time.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNb4fZkGTT
In the next cubicle, SECURITY BOT 07 tries not to laugh as a scanner zaps across their back.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHscGhCCCqX
SECURITY BOT 07
“C’mon Gearman, they’re just checking contamination—”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t5JmpDLnH
JASON
“Oh, are they? Is that what the full body strip and ass-cheek swabbing’s for? ‘Contamination?’ Or are they collecting limited edition Jason flakes for the lab’s trophy shelf?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0nTi9vhGB
Another robot winces as a sample probe scrapes something from beneath their shoulder plating with a metallic skrrtch.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8caL00bGhk
DRONE VOICE
“Please remain still. Biological residue detected. Commencing analysis.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkwPTH2dy0
Jason deadpans to the ceiling.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Mxg2X4GD
JASON
“I’ve seen cleaner hands on a vending machine in a bathroom.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q2r8ZDwQ6
INT. SANITATION CHAMBER – SHORTLY AFTER
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsDOMXYACy
A room-sized shower of cleaning nozzles sprays down high-pressure sterilization mist. The bots stand in an awkward line, systems ticking and twitching.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFnCJKMqa
JASON
(muttering)
“Three things I never expected in one night: a parasitic eye tower, mandatory robot nudity, and being spritzed like a salad.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQyzPcNCa1
SECURITY BOT 11
“Do you ever stop talking?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmJNGJok2q
JASON
“Only when my dignity flatlines. Which is, funny enough, right now.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD7YCs8PzN
The mist fades, the lights shift to green, and a calm voice chimes from above.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FeJBOIYZv
SYSTEM VOICE
“Decontamination complete. Retrieve personal items and report to staging.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m8seK7JYQ
Jason, dripping with sterilized mist, steps out, shaking his head.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATaIfVGuf7
JASON
“Next time someone offers me a ‘loyalty reinforcement seminar,’ remind me to shove my whole foot down their speaker port.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AlWG1r3ZN
He grabs his jacket and shirt off the bench and trudges out—clean, slightly traumatized, and still roasting everything in sight.
