EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjKUaoke5Z
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.

SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPjAzmSfKp
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.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhdc5cF75K
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwjeTsQ62C
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuqKvXdARQ
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5lcyORPup
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwOYCO5eX2
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFCdOlJyGR
JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKotyw7GIw3
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qLc8PSgiT
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59B7KG6nZd
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe28BPatZD
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGqaKzWOue
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm0siuj5xZ
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu51mSZtwL
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vgTxrgFzB
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mTSnocYu1
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFynajzCc7
FADE OUT.
