Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
53Please respect copyright.PENANAwRFQfGleud
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAL0SiCV360h
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0D8rzuw96s
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYCRCyrn1QE
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA43CGqomEcy
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAENnX2bwBXh
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAkHzkXNjS6C
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAgZP4wVbSqB
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
53Please respect copyright.PENANA91YMWAWYuY
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.

> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."
53Please respect copyright.PENANACGbwan8huC
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaozHKCq4Dc
53Please respect copyright.PENANAnXhmZ0kSu9
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVpqkztBgEJ
The memory sliced through him.
53Please respect copyright.PENANALzobbsLqLn
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAoR8opZO2TZ
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAve1oJoAe9c
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
53Please respect copyright.PENANAm0gZMCCh97
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAejP8B4mgzY
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmRaZXq7lyG
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKV8lWgYqGg
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0EwB63E1l4
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAm6qMfxqs43
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA3sfuU1cbYh
53Please respect copyright.PENANABvfs7nToH4
53Please respect copyright.PENANADUp5uN1n3V
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
53Please respect copyright.PENANAfUpR2NgUrO
“Vikrant.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9hxeblxEZf
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
53Please respect copyright.PENANAie81tdc0UB
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAINlKhin2F3
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtFPGlmaKfK
> “Still alive, are you?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANACEHwBOm4RS
53Please respect copyright.PENANAP92bNfsFco
53Please respect copyright.PENANAV3eZmItGWV
He turned.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtYBhlQEKy9
Vikrant.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVDFlHqsh8x
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeFyhb9w4uL
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANASACZrQfC8u
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1WpKPiGGLD
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbmmb4M0Dua
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAoU1GfSWns2
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAMS4txDYPm7
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIF875bbH39
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1iG6A7o3Yq
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bw0hsEUxf
The screen flickered, then stopped.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAdsqU8A02W1
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0iOVG0gJ1Z
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
53Please respect copyright.PENANALUXQLD9KcG
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeafvUN0Otr
Back at the CBI.
53Please respect copyright.PENANATvmtQ2bP7n
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7kWHNnao9
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAF2S27YxvjV
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
53Please respect copyright.PENANANNMesmISsK
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
53Please respect copyright.PENANACXw36uJ6pY
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQxQilovhlG
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
