INT. TEMPORARY SCIENCE STATION – POST-OP ROOM – NIGHT
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3rV5WLfop
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodr0WWWmKb
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQEybep3sr
The patrol groans in a perfectly robotic chorus.

INT. DIAGNOSTIC ROOM – LATER
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliGZMeqcBY
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQOOHjjAys
He winces as a sampling drone scrapes a tiny disc off one of his arm plates with a surgical blade.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqegMR9uu3
JASON
(raising voice)
“You guys enjoy peeling battle-worn armor off exhausted soldiers? Freak behavior. Just say it’s a kink station next time.”

In the next cubicle, SECURITY BOT 07 tries not to laugh as a scanner zaps across their back.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFrdNNGRNw
SECURITY BOT 07
“C’mon Gearman, they’re just checking contamination—”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70IConoXdN
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ewrJzm5aQ
Another robot winces as a sample probe scrapes something from beneath their shoulder plating with a metallic skrrtch.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡratRGN3riJ
DRONE VOICE
“Please remain still. Biological residue detected. Commencing analysis.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFQINRyZs4
Jason deadpans to the ceiling.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsfGYe9nw9
JASON
“I’ve seen cleaner hands on a vending machine in a bathroom.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ixdxWia7
INT. SANITATION CHAMBER – SHORTLY AFTER
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO0PL4lnPh
A room-sized shower of cleaning nozzles sprays down high-pressure sterilization mist. The bots stand in an awkward line, systems ticking and twitching.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAokTjxB6
JASON
(muttering)
“Three things I never expected in one night: a parasitic eye tower, mandatory robot nudity, and being spritzed like a salad.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqhYuWEvXD
SECURITY BOT 11
“Do you ever stop talking?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAiDXPqKos
JASON
“Only when my dignity flatlines. Which is, funny enough, right now.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXOHceqc3i
The mist fades, the lights shift to green, and a calm voice chimes from above.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtJMGHuWPO
SYSTEM VOICE
“Decontamination complete. Retrieve personal items and report to staging.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DENDoIrGu
Jason, dripping with sterilized mist, steps out, shaking his head.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxHbrUCXEu
JASON
“Next time someone offers me a ‘loyalty reinforcement seminar,’ remind me to shove my whole foot down their speaker port.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorlwddDMO9
He grabs his jacket and shirt off the bench and trudges out—clean, slightly traumatized, and still roasting everything in sight.
