EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx3rm8dKfg
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.

SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgqjozyR8K
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.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyiwXcjWng
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbB8l1i2ww
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9RmWNgAUC
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxGu7kI8FA
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqUJf4nIzT
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwGRNXTxed
JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9SQ4bQOZ
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoN7CNWUCn
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

They sync HUD frequencies—target glyphs glow red over the spire silhouette.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSCSNfyXVA
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL5A1HePaT
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJBzx4cmTM
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhknqhf2c0j

Moving Out
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJL3idJEkf
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuaCjIdWQo
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqZqLTftEH
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCdMQPzvCo
