INT. MAINTENANCE TUNNEL – BELOW CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYopOc3lim
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaqfINC1Bs
[The tunnel is barely wide enough for Jason’s shoulders. His flashlight-arm illuminates the narrow path ahead—metal walls groaning softly as the city above shifts in its sleep. There’s a low hum. Not from machinery. Not natural.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3aD1lG3xN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHvegRpg7W
[He presses forward, eyes locked on the streaks of oil and scratch marks.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjvDnMtGSH
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkpNoKbYrM
[Then he sees it—light reflecting off something wet, just ahead.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnupWLeiwjK
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArseI2UEnd
[He emerges into a cramped side chamber filled with hanging wires, blown-out consoles, and a single Labor bot—slumped, twitching, back propped against a wall.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZeAQKBJ6c
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDIPfzCswM
[At first glance: standard unit. Rusted. Oil leaking from the abdomen. But then—Jason freezes. The bot’s chest cavity is… wrong.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fvZ4F9SmD
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9gbz8TD3J
[A spiderweb of black tendrils coils out from the seams. They're organic-metal hybrids, squirming faintly—alive. They pulse slowly, like a machine breathing.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj23kOfCBGg

“…What the hell?”113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiFdhxVt1U
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0oEgL9QJ
[The Labor bot’s eyes are dim red, blinking erratically. One arm tries to lift but fails, fingers spasming. Jason steps closer, railcannon aimed. The tendrils respond—contracting inward like they’re hiding.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwWx0e2KBZ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YV3tmck1F
[He crouches, scanning.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RuCoGP3kn

JASON (V.O.)113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzML5ApEfW
“That’s no hacking virus. That’s infestation.”113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zBRLgT6w8
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupQ951YCWe
[The bot jerks its head slightly, jaw creaking. Its voice module is corrupted—glitchy, broken.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg6pNIuEXQ

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Ab0igbXO
[Jason stares. His hand twitches. For a second, the tough-guy façade slips. Just a second.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt2euPEsXd

“I’ve fought bots trying to kill me. I’ve fought bots programmed to kill. But this… this looks like something forgot how to die.”113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfsuTmS70C
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWyZTPPT3q
[Suddenly, one of the tendrils lashes out, narrowly missing his head. Jason blasts it, and the bot shrieks—a distorted, multi-pitched sound that echoes off the walls like metal screaming.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNEF273WHg
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12jRnyDV12
[The tendrils retreat into the bot’s torso. Its frame convulses violently. Jason raises his railcannon again.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0WTIGnjac

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9AQ4ep1D
[Jason pauses. Then fires a single, clean shot into the bot’s core. It collapses, finally still. The tendrils curl, blackened, twitch once—and die.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeMQFUbOzd

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8TtwgWwKX
[He pulls a blade from his side holster, slicing off a fragment of the tendril and storing it in a sealed tube. He stands, breathing heavier than usual. Not from exertion—but unease.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKSV477H6U
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPB4bmURyF
[Suddenly—thud. A distant sound from the tunnel ahead. Not footsteps. Something… dragging.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQEVusnlxp

“Round two already? Great.”113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4YGamfSv
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5UDYDgetk
[He turns toward the sound, eyes glowing sharper now. One last glance at the dead bot. Then—onward.]113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL4flWMw23
