INT. COLLAPSED SECTOR – RUINS – NIGHT

[Silence. Dust hangs in the air like dead snow. Rubble rests where Jason left it—metal twisted, wall cracked. Bits of broken Vision Tech signs blink faintly: “For a Brighter Future.”]

[A long beat... then movement. A tremble beneath the debris.]

[Metal shifts. A single hand pushes free from under the rubble—fingers twitching. The rest follows: battered, scorched, but very much alive, Serial Designation A slowly drags himself upright.]

[One wing is torn, barely functional. His chestplate is cracked down the center, still smoking from the railcannon impact. But his face? Calm. Even thoughtful.]

SD-A
(softly, to himself)
“That Security bot… he hesitated.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTboBjRSXlR
[He touches the cracked spot in his chest, fingertips brushing the exposed core.]

“Strange.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtaJ4gKnOY
[His optics flicker as he stands fully, unsteady. Systems reboot one by one. A soft mechanical chime plays as his diagnostics run silently in his HUD.]

[He walks slowly through the ruin. Every step leaves faint trails of oil. But he's not stumbling. He's choosing his path.]

SD-A
(almost amused)
“You weren’t supposed to be... curious.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cySNuQ1ba
[He stops beside a broken surveillance terminal—half-powered. He plugs a data cable from his wrist into the port.]
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZzBqGsmm
[SCREEN FLICKERS ON—multiple feeds load. Central City. The gate. The black market. Jason at Brasso’s place.]
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1M6ydtJ2
[He watches silently as Jason throws the badge onto the table.]

“Dig deeper, Gearman. You’ll find it.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLusm12kvp1
[He disconnects, stepping back. His wing hums—trying to extend. One side fails, sparks. He simply tucks both in tighter.]

SD-A
(quietly)
“Time’s moving faster than I planned.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQppzh4FOMw
[He turns and walks toward a barely visible maintenance shaft. In the background, something flickers on the damaged screen—quick, too fast to register clearly: a distorted image of Serial Designation K.]
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCZ3LNpmHc
[SD-A pauses.]

SD-A
“…K’s already here.”
