INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
69Please respect copyright.PENANAPwTVucyP9M
[Jason’s head pops up from under a blanket corner, observing SD-A’s fort—complete with hanging wires, glowing snack wrappers, and a flag that reads “A-ZONE: TRESPASSERS WILL BE HUGGED.”]
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQhOZDTE0xw
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
69Please respect copyright.PENANA1HaqxQor0n
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANA7GZ3gtcF3B
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAT5aIxnHaxS
JASON
“Alright, listen up, weirdos.” (claps hands)
“You’ve been cooped up all day. I’ve been tortured by spreadsheets. It’s time for—brace yourselves—outdoor activities.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzG1zjjjqZA
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAUdPggVdMA9
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0HXP14gDwr
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYPuUXFG97a
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlwZZuctx0m
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
69Please respect copyright.PENANA5qqlL3aplv
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANANX0mncVxzb
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxlFeMTS49Z
[The trio stands in a vast, mostly barren terrain just outside Central City’s reinforced walls. Old vehicles rust into the dirt. Distant wind turbines creak slowly. The air hums with a peaceful quiet—a rare calm.]
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxML4kHFmsv
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAOEPp4JNsZb
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAVYmyRPCWn
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAFuErwVMB5G
JASON
“If it was, I’d bring marshmallows. Now come on, let’s see how fast you two are when you’re not trying to kill something.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzbUi5cy9yK
[He takes off at a light jog. SD-A excitedly follows, doing weird cartwheels and flips like he’s trying to impress gravity. K lags behind for a second, then sighs and activates his stabilizers to catch up.]
69Please respect copyright.PENANARV1S1xmqKM
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAMep7B89hGs
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Ybd6kQ6T
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAyPCkFKpxQU
[They leap over rubble, duck under collapsed scaffolding, and make an all-out sprint. Jason’s arm transforms mid-run into a grappling hook, yanking him up onto a ledge before switching back with a smug spin.]
69Please respect copyright.PENANAu88yVdm4Ck
JASON
“Still got it.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZtBG2GCZsQ
[SD-K lands beside him with an annoyed scowl. SD-A follows, slightly out of breath, but smiling so big it’s practically a flashlight beam.]
69Please respect copyright.PENANARJ6ETw94yB
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAyjiVkmTUjG
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAk3dU3RUfsl

69Please respect copyright.PENANASGO63lOOur
[They stand together on a high spot overlooking the far edge of Central City, neon lights twinkling in the distance. The wind howls past like an old memory.]
69Please respect copyright.PENANAEghUHgn9Po
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAKHhNh3ht54
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWZMUWIxkSc
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6YD9EeptSf
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
