INT. UTILITY SHAFT – DEEPER ZONE – MOMENTS LATER
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6GYHPLqrDa
[Jason walks slowly now. The walls are tighter, the air colder. Condensation drips from ancient pipes like slow tears. A dim light buzzes overhead, half-dead but still clinging on like a stubborn error code.]

[He scans the area again. This time, faint radio interference kicks in. His comms briefly hiss with static—like someone whispering through an old speaker.]

RADIO STATIC
“...-esignation A... -liberation... you see? Do you see?”

JASON
(to himself, annoyed)
“Great. Now the walls are talking. That’s always step one in a fun death trap.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANApEyTciHEnl
[He spots something on the floor—a piece of metal, shiny, and shaped like a broken badge. He kneels and picks it up.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vf58PEJ4A
[Close-up: It's a half-melted Security insignia, but the serial number etched on the back has been crossed out—like someone deliberately tried to erase it.]

JASON
(frowns, less joking now)
“This... isn’t old. This was recent.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuxdYvm9Ryj
[Suddenly, his HUD picks up a foreign data signal. Unfamiliar, masked, but not Purification-grade aggressive. It pings nearby—behind a sealed blast door.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANAq4NfGKu2j9
[Jason moves toward the door. There’s a smear of oil on the panel. Not leaking—placed. Like a mark.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7O8CBHz6RD
[He wipes it. Underneath, someone etched a message into the rusted wall. It reads:]
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjyfxNrkuuw
“WE WERE BUILT TO DIE CLEAN.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANARQ3XVc3M2Z
[Jason stares at it for a moment. Silent. Not sarcastic. The axe twitches slightly on his back.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwqydaQOWQR
JASON
“…Okay, that’s not even subtle. Who carves emo poetry in a death tunnel?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdmjHcsg9br
[He checks the signal. It’s gone now. The blast door unlocks with a groan but opens only halfway.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANACECndqt2lm
[Behind it: nothing. Just more tunnel. But the air smells like charged oil—fresh. Someone was just here.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANAihiS7FUtow
[He pauses at the threshold, hand shifting back into cannon mode.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3CLcigilcM
JASON (V.O.)
“They always say Security bots don’t feel fear. But we do. We just process it faster. Compress it into anger, or jokes. Or the occasional unauthorized explosion.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmladXQHpMA
[He steps through.]
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVNBNoOJsQh
[Behind him, the wall flickers—just for a second. A set of winged shadows briefly pass through the steam and vanish again.]
