EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT

Smoke drifts across flood‑lights. Emergency barricades ring the plaza; med‑drones whisk the wounded away. Jason’s squad jogs out of a breached doorway, armor splattered with black alloy.

Commander Nine‑2’s mobile command crawler looms nearby—antennae bristling. Multiple patrols converge, tossing quick salutes.

Field Briefing Circle
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CWYA4WTDW
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuT88H63DY
SCIENCE‑OFFICER DR‑412 (holds vial of glittering purple crystal)
“This matches parasitic alloy but incorporates an information lattice. It records and re‑broadcasts stimuli. Heat disrupts filament cohesion.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHAZBkeyZ8
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BHciJDLBn
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPxPrTf3VD
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdydaXEn0Gw
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2jWEEdRT6
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.

JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT85jPCpNEA
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5NiXzyl9y
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

They sync HUD frequencies—target glyphs glow red over the spire silhouette.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2OTPAVV1c
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QU9TTPxiP
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5kC7r8x2J
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCugRnLzPOt
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7BaPD7wTu
Jason shoulders his rifle. Overhead, the spire throbs—distant roar like metal trees bending in wind. Lights across the plaza flicker red as power reroutes to defense grids.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXt48nCjz
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1mI8uH2L
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSop2kAaNN
