INT. CENTRAL CITY – SECURITY SECTOR – MORNING SHIFT START
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccwlw8t2e2
[Industrial alarm blares. The light in Jason’s “apartment” flickers on. It’s a concrete cube with wires hanging like bad art. A poster reads: “STAY CHARGED. STAY VIGILANT. STAY LEGALLY OPERATIONAL.”]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YTqpQV7ny
[Jason stands in a power-charging pod. Sparks buzz as he finishes booting up.]

JASON
(yawning voice)
“Great. Another beautiful day in paradise. Nothing like waking up to the sound of existential duty and fire hazards.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls3zSXkXdq
[He steps out. Right hand flickers and glitches slightly before reforming into a finger.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nK6E45DKk
JASON
(to his hand)
“You done with your little identity crisis?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJotxiyBTV9
[The room has a shelf full of spare parts, an emergency battery bar labeled “NOW WITH 12% LESS LEAD,” and a cracked mirror where Jason mockingly checks his reflection.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9kLBC2NPL
JASON
“Looking good, champ. Shiny, unappreciated, and still not fired. Somehow.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87bSc5hNne
INT. SECURITY HQ – ARMORY FLOOR
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr48MutyRQ
[Rows of Security bots line up for daily assignments. Jason leans casually against the wall, ignoring the group stretch protocol. Nearby bots whisper and glance at him.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmK9FL1qcL
LABOR BOT #1 (whispering)
“Is that the Gearman unit? He eats Purifications.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Mt9PBLHo
LABOR BOT #2
“Shouldn’t he be, like... chained up or something?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbuZJkJnk6
JASON
(loudly)
“I’m sorry, were you talking to me or just malfunctioning publicly?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3HgPHJSnv
[The whisperers freeze. Jason smirks. A supervisor bot, bulky and boxy, stomps over with a clipboard screen.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuofYfroE4
SUPERVISOR BOT
“Gearman. You’ve got Wall Duty again. Purification sightings went up overnight. We need sarcasm and violence.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsdY2mwVr2
JASON
“Lucky for you, those are my top two skills.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhQHdIxM4M
[He takes his mission chip and plugs it into his arm. His HUD lights up with route data, target profiles, and a coffee coupon that expired 143 years ago.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDdCxjtHwM
INT. SECURITY LOCKER ROOM – MOMENTS LATER
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAm8ui7eXn
[Jason gears up. His axe locks onto his back magnetically. He glances at a memorial wall covered in names of fallen Security bots. Some crossed out. Some just melted into the wall.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGOyNU3NiD
JASON
(muttering)
“Rest in pieces, guys. Hopefully today I don’t join the wallpaper.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXPdZd6LmK
[He exits through the heavy metal doors, out into the cold, windswept outer patrol path.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1DwtOdE9D
EXT. OUTER WALL – CENTRAL CITY – CONTINUOUS
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzygj5jJuDe
[Jason walks along the massive perimeter wall. Snow hisses in the wind. Distant mechanical howls echo beyond the fog. On the horizon, shadows—Purification bots—move like ghosts.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsluZPI0lrZ
JASON (V.O.)
“People think Security bots are all brute force and bad aim. But here’s the thing—we see everything. The fear. The silence. The judgment. The oil stains no one wants to talk about.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDmUTmW8gG
[He pauses at a scanner checkpoint, watching the city glow behind him through the shield dome.]
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKNxYUxm7g
JASON
(flatly)
“Another quiet morning. Hate those. Means something loud’s coming.”
