INT. ABANDONED VISION TECH OUTPOST – LOWER LEVELS – NIGHT22Please respect copyright.PENANApb8xlvITV6
22Please respect copyright.PENANAI1HdUpW9Jx
[Jason follows the noise. The sound grows clearer: the metallic scrape of something being dragged… and faint, stuttering breathing. The tunnel slopes downward now, leading to a heavy, half-open blast door labeled in worn-out letters:22Please respect copyright.PENANABja1Vko8dO
V.T. ARCHIVE ACCESS 12 – RESTRICTED22Please respect copyright.PENANATemzgSdKUx
Beneath it, the Vision Tech logo barely clings to the rusted metal—a fractured eye surrounded by circuitry.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAHN7V96ocoK
22Please respect copyright.PENANAme9gME8LJ8
[Jason ducks under the warped door, stepping into a wide room filled with decay and memory.]22Please respect copyright.PENANASgl21vT24P
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2KwFxMEm4i
[Old fluorescent panels flicker, barely alive. On every wall: Vision Tech propaganda posters, yellowed and stained.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAsFCtgc465W
22Please respect copyright.PENANAViiJdp9O9E

22Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ktq4fvq4o
[His flashlight beam pans right—and stops.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAWCAqayjUrA
On a pile of robotic corpses. Security, Labor… even a few Operator units. All torn apart, limbs stripped, cores hollowed out. But something’s wrong—not all the damage looks like it was done by Purification bots. Some of the wounds are… surgical. Clean. Too clean.22Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qs9TgsQ6B
22Please respect copyright.PENANAKcPeCgLM7x
[He steps closer to one body—a Labor bot with an open chest cavity. No signs of a fight. Just… opened. Emptied.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAUfk94c5XP6
22Please respect copyright.PENANA58WQD9b6qS
[Suddenly—movement.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAJAH6lwFe62
A twitch. One of the bodies at the far end jerks. Then another. Not rising. Not hostile. Just twitching—random, pitiful spasms like muscles trying to remember how to move.22Please respect copyright.PENANAWYVjLuN0oc

“Whatever happened down here… Vision Tech wanted it buried. Makes you wonder what else they buried before the Liberation.”22Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ94GiXlgT
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXPE7gTz1YI
[He kneels beside a half-buried terminal, brushes off dust and dried oil, and flicks the power node. The screen blinks to life, stuttering, flickering. A logo loads—Vision Tech’s signature boot-up chime plays, warped and slowed like a dying lullaby.]22Please respect copyright.PENANA9EHyHpawWS

[Before Jason can dig further, he hears it again—dragging. Closer this time. Coming from a side corridor leading out of the archive.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAjisjnel4Z0

“Alright, mystery freak number two… come out slow and don’t ooze.”22Please respect copyright.PENANAmFSj3fpCkQ
22Please respect copyright.PENANACQE6tYA6tk
[The dragging stops. Silence. Jason steps toward the corridor—then a shape lurches into the light.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAXVaGXFH1PG
22Please respect copyright.PENANAdRa8P1HX1f
[It’s another Labor bot—but barely. Its head is crushed, one leg gone, dragging itself with twisted arms. But the real horror is what’s inside it—black tendrils pushing out from the joints, trying to control the body like a puppet. The host is long dead. The driver? Still trying.]22Please respect copyright.PENANAonBBUvQczw
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0zuYyalIwb
[Jason doesn’t hesitate—BLAM—a clean rail shot through the chest, pinning the bot to the wall. Sparks explode. The tendrils convulse and burn.]22Please respect copyright.PENANARSWqorAsAP
