EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHcT320Q7M
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.

Field Briefing Circle
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZecjHliCl
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaKeVfPGen
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.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9KoS8X8Kc
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPxa3hGg75
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGycfov8Wl
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo8GGMv4jg
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9czpmJjsRs
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.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uq6zRSf5T
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs3b65AJ5D
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

They sync HUD frequencies—target glyphs glow red over the spire silhouette.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapa1oXJi6N
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsjelcptBN
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgKpdNmll8
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC0SBw0ld5
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHUWjdhbpP
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSAoTQopOi
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrBfZMEbRY
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuCKB1NVCV
FADE OUT.
