INT. JASON’S APARTMENT – EARLY MORNING
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcfwmOXUUq
[Sunlight—or at least a vaguely radioactive approximation of it—filters through the cracked blinds. Jason’s already up, sipping a mug of machine oil like it’s the holy nectar of life. SD-A is standing rigidly near the door, while SD-K is sitting cross-legged, adjusting his wing joints with surgical precision.]

JASON
“Okay, listen up, boys. Today’s challenge: ‘Not Getting Murdered in Broad Daylight.’ The stakes? Your internal organs.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP8K3YPESa
SD-K (deadpan)
“Fantastic. I love morning anxiety.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdRry2r72A
JASON (pouring a second cup of oil and offering it to K)
“You love complaining. Same difference.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjHwt4Des7
[K reluctantly takes the cup. A tiny piece of rust floats in it.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyoRU5WjiE
SD-K
“This is just... actual filth.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbKRXSxpu9
JASON
“Adds flavor. Anyway—back to the part where society out there sees you two and yells ‘Dismantle first, ask questions never.’ We gotta blend you in.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0GE1zqSW
SD-A
“We could avoid detection by hiding in another crate.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ1GouXGUj
JASON
“You wanna be shipped like defective toasters for the rest of your life? No. We’re doing this the fun way.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2LDhZn7ZE
[Jason claps his hands together, walks over to a locked cabinet, opens it… and reveals a terrifying pile of clothes, parts, broken gadgets, and one truly haunted-looking wig.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc44g8tkK5
SD-K
“…Why do you have that?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUj9XszPz5
JASON
“Look, every Security bot’s got a hobby. Some collect data cores. Some carve spare gears into miniature tanks. I? I dumpster dive.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SPEoF4n6n
[He begins tossing items at them.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4OuxJQrwj
JASON
“K—Put this poncho on. It’s designed to make your murder-camera head look more ‘intimidating fashion statement’ than ‘run, it’s death.’”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPpmOklMYE
[K reluctantly throws it over himself. It actually… kinda works.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLwPXtm1a7
JASON (nodding)
“See? It says ‘enigmatic janitor’.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc73YlYQCjA
[Then to A:]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZLfLTv5zE
JASON
“A—This cloak covers your wings. Try not to glow or hum ominously while walking. Oh, and this hat.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LBMQ1gEwF
[He hands A a slightly squashed top hat.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusTHWHV2dZ
SD-A
“This… makes me look like I run a malfunctioning circus.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlVa5KMJa5
JASON
“Perfect. Nobody messes with circus bots. They're legally confusing.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2xabR2utH
[Jason steps back and admires his handiwork.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEtYHxP3M
JASON
“You two look... moderately less illegal. We might just survive walking to the scrapyard.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4upIq2TnR
SD-K
“You expect us to act normal out there?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSouAZchl6J
JASON
“Yes. Just nod if someone says hi. Don’t hiss. No laser beams unless absolutely necessary. And for metal’s sake, if someone offers you a sample in the market, don’t analyze it, just say thanks and throw it away later.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCydfqU4A7q
SD-A
“…This is more stressful than combat.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoizA1NgVJx
JASON (grabbing his railcannon arm from the charger)
“Welcome to the real battlefield, boys. Public interaction.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljnYhyyuwm
[He opens the door and peeks out into the hall. A clunky neighbor bot walks by, humming a mechanical version of a lullaby. Jason waits until the coast is clear, then gestures sharply.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWDyutDUZD
JASON
“Alright—go go go! Act like you belong! Blend in! Be cool!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJed2BK3vA
[The three of them step out, Jason pushing the door closed with his foot as they march down the hallway—two fake-normals and one extremely tired Security bot doing his best not to lose his job or mind.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnB2FFovKD
CUT TO:
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNzlTcj6vM
EXT. CENTRAL CITY – STREET – MORNING
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h7MVJtuOI
[The city’s alive with robot life. Sparks fly from welding shops, drones buzz overhead, and loudspeakers blare old automated ads for Vision Tech. The trio walks stiffly, Jason trying not to draw attention, while A and K walk like theater actors pretending to be washing machines.]
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyibeqbx3R
JASON (under his breath)
“…Yup. Totally normal. Just a guy and his two weird roommates.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0jxTPacBQ
SD-K
“I hate this.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncUdA1Zlbc
SD-A
“Do we at least get to choose breakfast?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HgJ33Zoyy
JASON
“No. Now let’s get to the scrapyard before someone calls the Scrapper Corps.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcOGBfZ75
[They move offscreen, awkwardly but determined.]
