INT. HQ SUB-LEVEL – ORGANIC PASSAGE – NIGHT
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwW6dpubSQ
The world beneath the HQ is not an extension of it—it’s a transformation. Metal bones swallowed by a new, pulsing flesh. A world turned inside out.

DESCENT COMPLETE
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZTWQJNygT
The squad hits ground—a wet, spongy surface, like stepping on breathing lungs. The floor gives with every step, pulsing under their weight. Searchlights struggle against the fog-thick heat. Everything glistens with sweat-like condensation.

JASON checks his suit’s systems—coolant levels already dipping dangerously.

JASON
“Temperature’s burning coolant faster than I burn through insults.”

F2
“At least your mouth still works. That’s reassuring.”

D3-MINI
“Environmental readings: eighty-five Celsius and climbing. Advise short bursts of motion, minimal power draw.”

Their boots squelch in the soft tissue. Every vine on the wall pulses rhythmically, as if pumping... something.

MOVING FORWARD
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM8JVqwKxt
They press on in a staggered line formation—quiet, focused. The air is thick with humidity and bioelectric charge, making every movement feel watched. Yet, no hostiles appear.

JASON glances to the vines, watching their surface bulge and twitch as fluids travel within.

JASON
“Whatever this stuff is... it’s still growing.”

R8
“No threat signs. No motion alerts. No visuals.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXrkOiKio3
F2
“Yeah, and that’s what’s freaking me out. It’s too clean.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJq1Rn5U09
D3-MINI
“This section appears intentionally vacant. I believe it’s... a transition zone.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsHuCqevEE
They stop at an intersection—three warped tunnels ahead, each coated in fleshy growth. One tunnel breathes inward, a slow, drawn inhale. The others ripple subtly, as if shivering.

JASON places a hand on the wall. It’s warm. Wet. Alive.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzc7Zqf2x2
JASON
“This isn’t structure anymore. It’s... function.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf8Ks7st51
A distant gulp echoes from the left tunnel. Then, silence.

THE SOUND OF LIFE
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDyZYjz3f
The ambient howl returns, louder. Less like an animal now—more like a warning siren. Layered beneath, the sloshing churn of fluid systems.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZsLaOar8
The team’s comms flicker briefly—garbled whispers, unreadable data pulses.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRoZKGURst
D3-MINI
“Interference increasing. Signal contamination... it’s mimicking comms traffic.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslbdl31aCU
R8
“Keep line of sight. No solo moves. If it speaks, don’t respond.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShQ67ezAx
F2
“Too late. Jason’s already been talking to the walls.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOBqOzZ4C3
JASON (dryly)
“They listen better than you.”

They press forward, down the center tunnel. The walls close tighter, breathing heavier, vines thicker. Still—no enemies. No signs of life. Only that terrible silence... and the constant throb of something enormous, somewhere deeper below.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbas87vVYjd
The kind of silence that always comes before something happens.

FADE OUT.
