INT. HQ SUB-LEVEL – ORGANIC PASSAGE – NIGHT
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzlzWpuPYQ
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
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEHcqV00w8
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.

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

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

“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
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ85GFYD2UL
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.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRcqDaFeYV
F2
“Yeah, and that’s what’s freaking me out. It’s too clean.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL1gg9uwBs
D3-MINI
“This section appears intentionally vacant. I believe it’s... a transition zone.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt6l5oxqm0
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2V2nqmA5
JASON
“This isn’t structure anymore. It’s... function.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ330uGQUon1
A distant gulp echoes from the left tunnel. Then, silence.

THE SOUND OF LIFE
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1HhCOXNmQ
The ambient howl returns, louder. Less like an animal now—more like a warning siren. Layered beneath, the sloshing churn of fluid systems.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIwvzgIZDA
The team’s comms flicker briefly—garbled whispers, unreadable data pulses.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK68OUW8JRf
D3-MINI
“Interference increasing. Signal contamination... it’s mimicking comms traffic.”

R8
“Keep line of sight. No solo moves. If it speaks, don’t respond.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJsfJLmKoG
F2
“Too late. Jason’s already been talking to the walls.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfZeNtV3LH
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoqK9XCnQM
The kind of silence that always comes before something happens.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVvl9iFdHh
FADE OUT.
