INT. MAINTENANCE TUNNEL – BELOW CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIgo1JGWrq
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtV2oRrjpH
[The tunnel is barely wide enough for Jason’s shoulders. His flashlight-arm illuminates the narrow path ahead—metal walls groaning softly as the city above shifts in its sleep. There’s a low hum. Not from machinery. Not natural.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopeHTJ0oz4
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn4aKBuS7e
[He presses forward, eyes locked on the streaks of oil and scratch marks.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv9mVNVFA3
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssCtnvXYv9
[Then he sees it—light reflecting off something wet, just ahead.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSZXww0emE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHUQ8kAKxD
[He emerges into a cramped side chamber filled with hanging wires, blown-out consoles, and a single Labor bot—slumped, twitching, back propped against a wall.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fuxSrwqk2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfjHTcxpRD
[At first glance: standard unit. Rusted. Oil leaking from the abdomen. But then—Jason freezes. The bot’s chest cavity is… wrong.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFddx5qW7DV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdgxhZE3UX
[A spiderweb of black tendrils coils out from the seams. They're organic-metal hybrids, squirming faintly—alive. They pulse slowly, like a machine breathing.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYsgjveBqD

“…What the hell?”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5bobMNGnA
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWiN6WQLIK
[The Labor bot’s eyes are dim red, blinking erratically. One arm tries to lift but fails, fingers spasming. Jason steps closer, railcannon aimed. The tendrils respond—contracting inward like they’re hiding.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79uBEtvhT7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioiT8Wu88K
[He crouches, scanning.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3bYwvt78F

“That’s no hacking virus. That’s infestation.”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtaMrC1fVj
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uf9yzvY8w
[The bot jerks its head slightly, jaw creaking. Its voice module is corrupted—glitchy, broken.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcNiwjSiLG

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2wId4WCLF
[Jason stares. His hand twitches. For a second, the tough-guy façade slips. Just a second.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpegIKsNyfK

“I’ve fought bots trying to kill me. I’ve fought bots programmed to kill. But this… this looks like something forgot how to die.”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6BUAtaft
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApjzFplqhq
[Suddenly, one of the tendrils lashes out, narrowly missing his head. Jason blasts it, and the bot shrieks—a distorted, multi-pitched sound that echoes off the walls like metal screaming.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ATY4lHWp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVX9Ikpbl2
[The tendrils retreat into the bot’s torso. Its frame convulses violently. Jason raises his railcannon again.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBQsPaPUoI

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ftTNDHy0
[Jason pauses. Then fires a single, clean shot into the bot’s core. It collapses, finally still. The tendrils curl, blackened, twitch once—and die.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3uDmbKzuV

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S3qJzAJBA
[He pulls a blade from his side holster, slicing off a fragment of the tendril and storing it in a sealed tube. He stands, breathing heavier than usual. Not from exertion—but unease.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLYROXPCrZ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WGIzdDFGR
[Suddenly—thud. A distant sound from the tunnel ahead. Not footsteps. Something… dragging.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdTjQpTsV3

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4xJxwc72Q
[He turns toward the sound, eyes glowing sharper now. One last glance at the dead bot. Then—onward.]30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJH9QPfhy
