EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZjGYZ6qO
Smoke drifts across flood‑lights. Emergency barricades ring the plaza; med‑drones whisk the wounded away. Jason’s squad jogs out of a breached doorway, armor splattered with black alloy.

Commander Nine‑2’s mobile command crawler looms nearby—antennae bristling. Multiple patrols converge, tossing quick salutes.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYuatiX1WA
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKc7DzDupT
SCIENCE‑OFFICER DR‑412 (holds vial of glittering purple crystal)
“This matches parasitic alloy but incorporates an information lattice. It records and re‑broadcasts stimuli. Heat disrupts filament cohesion.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdqUhGzrzS
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQc7uQ5alx
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTVVvbfc4H
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngQEqGQiqY
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfmOlN2j3
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.

JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcDlqypUs5
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71zPfwx4ut
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay53rug1lY
They sync HUD frequencies—target glyphs glow red over the spire silhouette.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjnaOrtEBg
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oWT2MkIRE
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtOivKpERV
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAChUzlqkh3
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr0zjsiJdn
Jason shoulders his rifle. Overhead, the spire throbs—distant roar like metal trees bending in wind. Lights across the plaza flicker red as power reroutes to defense grids.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoCxaMXQbi
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkRqz5YFTk
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWzzWxkxge
FADE OUT.
