EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJZCQE9DA
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
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7lqBQS961
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76KpaUnUgs
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T65GBFWcO
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gmLW13L6e
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ16forSoVZ
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kMpD4Ti0H
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZIB25u1PK
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWahqVsXEM
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4TVPSvD9N
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp7I1m37o7
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vsFg0BF0c
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHxVmdcfm7
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wid3dd65g
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOvWvLp376
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOqHgRXUqj
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4k3v9H0o0
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDw7XkzyTR
