Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gb9Z7PGs3
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4euwoMvfK
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0uY52rtvZ
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Z0mp1rbH
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyotzVKEetN
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPWdWlXN03
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhc27RXqJ3
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPNlrsE2o
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ308Vdjlebm
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.

> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."

Back to Present
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNipQpj7SE
The memory sliced through him.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW8hKnLMUb
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLKDA2N1gx
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJudSw33acw
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0MBE7LGYZ
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVbzgfZMDo
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjzIgaRSTq
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TLAHaXBeL
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgvV5osW09
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxpYZha2u9
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKuWQBG9Nv
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjr3hUVs3U
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHTSEQhPwK
“Vikrant.”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZwkC7IQGO
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaqrlbTOde
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09eh6zkEWm
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ6WkVq0RT
> “Still alive, are you?”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCavqEXVnc
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i2RFDGUKD
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcyF98MDZU
He turned.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHJKD5uVKU
Vikrant.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLIwoBpTJz
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbCVVITH6b
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5dhVFREO2
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0RzyfeuLs
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRuMwOaAGp
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmlHVHtsED
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbfPB1OPGI
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBuDCbhUeN
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqaFMIPE91
The screen flickered, then stopped.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7VPcGLihA
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxfX2AD70M
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYmlo5icnd
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene

Back at the CBI.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2UjuwS21K
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1q1z7MeO2
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNkuY6zYW1
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg1APQ3A7Q
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xoeBIp4Va
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzhWRMb8Zb
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
