EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT

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.

Field Briefing Circle
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ003kjMzth2
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezLbEHdCY5
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.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY2ecA18NX
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZSS8Xx7mq
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXqgB8g6p
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn56nxrK28v
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZLkl8yCqT
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjKMiprCse
JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkskd5Eo0ff
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBEW1N2Ict
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJeOzg60Sy
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFa8dngKJC
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuhGgLnGzq
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTILu2BpgLR

Moving Out
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yshc5ISTr
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.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORHH6OGmzz
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSgc1maHdW
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAP6gADyMh
