INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
16Please respect copyright.PENANA7llCQzV9fx
[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.”]
16Please respect copyright.PENANAm8kQ8j4UT0
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
16Please respect copyright.PENANA25mg2yCwLH
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANACmqan7QpCA
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAnh8w9ymNa6
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.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAoiXy6oeLe4
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAjnW8b9keoq
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANA1LdI9CLkSL
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
16Please respect copyright.PENANACUSUq28qxL
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAGB5mcdf1Ir
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
16Please respect copyright.PENANAKkdUAahAx8
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAOnfcNNlUGv
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
16Please respect copyright.PENANAIIrugrJ0Mn
[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.]
16Please respect copyright.PENANAM6s5J0GnOt
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAsOBlhkv8Ms
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAUpiQGgdv4m
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
16Please respect copyright.PENANARk9HyeS7Z5
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.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAAhss9UWEOt
[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.]
16Please respect copyright.PENANARDdChXq6rT
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAZwsw0ojaHz
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
16Please respect copyright.PENANA8MwSItpzBj
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANA2BkbHIPGrY
[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.]
16Please respect copyright.PENANAkCwN8B2D9t
JASON
“Still got it.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAZx73XSXYhC
[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.]
16Please respect copyright.PENANAWxU0xeqbMS
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAYDxjSS0ZVF
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAp7HMmXfm3n
16Please respect copyright.PENANA3jWAWujlcp

16Please respect copyright.PENANAw53V7w3jeF
[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.]
16Please respect copyright.PENANAAfWLxrTid0
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANA6w8HHUcshg
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANA0sLUsAHc1c
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANATG7iSZoMoE
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
