INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
73Please respect copyright.PENANAF9lHHUEiJU
[Jason’s head pops up from under a blanket corner, observing SD-A’s fort—complete with hanging wires, glowing snack wrappers, and a flag that reads “A-ZONE: TRESPASSERS WILL BE HUGGED.”]
73Please respect copyright.PENANAoul7KlWsyO
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAblhkQY80mV
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAXGp9y5PzEF
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
73Please respect copyright.PENANABPZOzwV92j
JASON
“Alright, listen up, weirdos.” (claps hands)
“You’ve been cooped up all day. I’ve been tortured by spreadsheets. It’s time for—brace yourselves—outdoor activities.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAvxGXDMeLC9
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtkXTKUPx6E
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVgw9Hsntnz
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGn0dan91BL
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAUviE957Mcr
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
73Please respect copyright.PENANA1sLcwbzWUI
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAv8JUPQDl7H
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
73Please respect copyright.PENANA71M5lCRWRM
[The trio stands in a vast, mostly barren terrain just outside Central City’s reinforced walls. Old vehicles rust into the dirt. Distant wind turbines creak slowly. The air hums with a peaceful quiet—a rare calm.]
73Please respect copyright.PENANAevqGU8FXFx
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQ443eqWG5c
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANATfKjzUQPoz
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
73Please respect copyright.PENANARr5jteqD01
JASON
“If it was, I’d bring marshmallows. Now come on, let’s see how fast you two are when you’re not trying to kill something.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANATLA6pPcNMi
[He takes off at a light jog. SD-A excitedly follows, doing weird cartwheels and flips like he’s trying to impress gravity. K lags behind for a second, then sighs and activates his stabilizers to catch up.]
73Please respect copyright.PENANAE79wCXMpjt
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJwFFfQ4w0f
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
73Please respect copyright.PENANA1v2h8Y8uzC
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAgwkwjgDOBY
[They leap over rubble, duck under collapsed scaffolding, and make an all-out sprint. Jason’s arm transforms mid-run into a grappling hook, yanking him up onto a ledge before switching back with a smug spin.]
73Please respect copyright.PENANAjKxe5Z3ry9
JASON
“Still got it.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANATtQt8cFLKY
[SD-K lands beside him with an annoyed scowl. SD-A follows, slightly out of breath, but smiling so big it’s practically a flashlight beam.]
73Please respect copyright.PENANA8iECmgQnEV
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANABFrUp5NVRt
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmNU4CSt2mW
73Please respect copyright.PENANA6ECA2ZLXQA
---
73Please respect copyright.PENANAUfqU5GY4dj
[They stand together on a high spot overlooking the far edge of Central City, neon lights twinkling in the distance. The wind howls past like an old memory.]
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGrta6VSpMr
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAvrya9iwWer
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANA3INEVrQaLt
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAny3ZCV8Haa
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
