INT. MAINTENANCE TUNNEL – BELOW CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLaG8eOUUW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjsE6C1me8
[The tunnel is barely wide enough for Jason’s shoulders. His flashlight-arm illuminates the narrow path ahead—metal walls groaning softly as the city above shifts in its sleep. There’s a low hum. Not from machinery. Not natural.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAknEm5PjHg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG9ojWZ55k
[He presses forward, eyes locked on the streaks of oil and scratch marks.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOczfC46dt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdngoRLflE
[Then he sees it—light reflecting off something wet, just ahead.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzcCoKLjFf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNsrQg2f6E
[He emerges into a cramped side chamber filled with hanging wires, blown-out consoles, and a single Labor bot—slumped, twitching, back propped against a wall.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPsxocScCf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFEfYGZWyY
[At first glance: standard unit. Rusted. Oil leaking from the abdomen. But then—Jason freezes. The bot’s chest cavity is… wrong.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRXAvAGVRU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Ls8ACay3
[A spiderweb of black tendrils coils out from the seams. They're organic-metal hybrids, squirming faintly—alive. They pulse slowly, like a machine breathing.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreTziJcpKr

(low, guarded)47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8h10QkXeL
“…What the hell?”47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytwM9TKfv
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83m8N3OYnY
[The Labor bot’s eyes are dim red, blinking erratically. One arm tries to lift but fails, fingers spasming. Jason steps closer, railcannon aimed. The tendrils respond—contracting inward like they’re hiding.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECBMnQSfFd
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGLFfcID0u
[He crouches, scanning.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCtAMx1eX7

JASON (V.O.)47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4gFzPKA8R
“That’s no hacking virus. That’s infestation.”47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVi25p3hvT
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMv0E0CCxF
[The bot jerks its head slightly, jaw creaking. Its voice module is corrupted—glitchy, broken.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3GC0Lr7tu

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAfvZGEnYa
[Jason stares. His hand twitches. For a second, the tough-guy façade slips. Just a second.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItXq13fmcz

JASON (V.O.)47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNtkqOFGJL
“I’ve fought bots trying to kill me. I’ve fought bots programmed to kill. But this… this looks like something forgot how to die.”47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZBULhAZhm
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hZDuxVqmf
[Suddenly, one of the tendrils lashes out, narrowly missing his head. Jason blasts it, and the bot shrieks—a distorted, multi-pitched sound that echoes off the walls like metal screaming.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwym025qp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrf3EfT1os
[The tendrils retreat into the bot’s torso. Its frame convulses violently. Jason raises his railcannon again.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztmT7eRa3M

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT8lS5hNmW
[Jason pauses. Then fires a single, clean shot into the bot’s core. It collapses, finally still. The tendrils curl, blackened, twitch once—and die.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0aaFI7x8u

“This wasn’t a bot anymore.”47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrFpoEOK4

“Whatever this is… it wasn’t built. It grew.”47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxVg5wz8bo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxsHV3uNSF
[He pulls a blade from his side holster, slicing off a fragment of the tendril and storing it in a sealed tube. He stands, breathing heavier than usual. Not from exertion—but unease.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnAm5nB6Po
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmJdAGqn8u
[Suddenly—thud. A distant sound from the tunnel ahead. Not footsteps. Something… dragging.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ys4ggKub

“Round two already? Great.”47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjcu5XhFeA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeKEtbw0C0
[He turns toward the sound, eyes glowing sharper now. One last glance at the dead bot. Then—onward.]47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTou2KJffkl
