INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
71Please respect copyright.PENANARZopPDi0m6
[Jason’s head pops up from under a blanket corner, observing SD-A’s fort—complete with hanging wires, glowing snack wrappers, and a flag that reads “A-ZONE: TRESPASSERS WILL BE HUGGED.”]
71Please respect copyright.PENANAQKZVkVdz2w
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAM3T7X9SJPt
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0isk4yK6L
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
71Please respect copyright.PENANA6huwAqbpBy
JASON
“Alright, listen up, weirdos.” (claps hands)
“You’ve been cooped up all day. I’ve been tortured by spreadsheets. It’s time for—brace yourselves—outdoor activities.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAiySuJbYwfh
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAjOBSY6TEFU
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANA0qQXoITJvW
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAWcjiMoFIjx
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAxVBmQ32DcJ
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
71Please respect copyright.PENANAGc3JhNJUoK
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANACbQVpDb4Te
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
71Please respect copyright.PENANAcYD6l5ENsB
[The trio stands in a vast, mostly barren terrain just outside Central City’s reinforced walls. Old vehicles rust into the dirt. Distant wind turbines creak slowly. The air hums with a peaceful quiet—a rare calm.]
71Please respect copyright.PENANAc0wFFhpLEt
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANACiqkmtgorO
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAL4GiVuZj6V
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAZVxpnUQoDT
JASON
“If it was, I’d bring marshmallows. Now come on, let’s see how fast you two are when you’re not trying to kill something.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAH4wQ5YBRRp
[He takes off at a light jog. SD-A excitedly follows, doing weird cartwheels and flips like he’s trying to impress gravity. K lags behind for a second, then sighs and activates his stabilizers to catch up.]
71Please respect copyright.PENANAEtkpFNh09p
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAzDupSTdd0G
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAbqPoPMORfi
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAlYi4H4QGL2
[They leap over rubble, duck under collapsed scaffolding, and make an all-out sprint. Jason’s arm transforms mid-run into a grappling hook, yanking him up onto a ledge before switching back with a smug spin.]
71Please respect copyright.PENANABeZHBazF83
JASON
“Still got it.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANA8y4DIvY2my
[SD-K lands beside him with an annoyed scowl. SD-A follows, slightly out of breath, but smiling so big it’s practically a flashlight beam.]
71Please respect copyright.PENANA5w9NZk4HHD
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAf9hjGzmq11
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANApSOFKusTnV

71Please respect copyright.PENANAR38VjzB2fb
[They stand together on a high spot overlooking the far edge of Central City, neon lights twinkling in the distance. The wind howls past like an old memory.]
71Please respect copyright.PENANArtZd5JrByB
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAza4zaZ46Rh
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAi3oJWt3PaW
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
71Please respect copyright.PENANAalbEo6lHBL
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
