INT. SECURITY HQ – NORTH EXECUTIVE WING – NIGHT
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ6RjzXTnU
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
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77JvyIxBie
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.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzNKwt2U4
A guttural, wet sound echoes ahead. Something drags across the ceiling.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL9MRG3LjT
SERGEANT R8
“Burn anything that moves. Stick to formation.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3lm3UY1Va
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
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0r3SNFHjK
D3-MINI
“Lifeform detected—closing fast, above!”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drZrvoQyi
From the shadows drops a parasitized bot—twisted limbs, ribcage open like wings, eyes glassy and wet with crystal sheen.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2nnGfNMC
JASON
“Contact!”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8VYWu7XKm
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.

MEDIC O7
“They’re fast. Almost... intelligent.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugIoeJmXD2
JASON
“They were us. Remember that.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuFzt9ScP7
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

SERGEANT R8
“Area clear for now. Prep climb harness.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3mWurshSy
D3-MINI launches micro-drones down the shaft. Footage returns: vines converging, like a nest being spun tighter.

JASON (watching feed)
“That’s not growth. That’s design.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ZXdK5oOO
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOK7AE8SG3
The building moans, deep and wet, like it's breathing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ223j5zSPau
JASON (V.O.)
"HQ was supposed to be a fortress. Now it feels like a stomach. And we’re halfway swallowed."
