EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydWfHrXNNm
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
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VYz2tcac
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAMYgWzlAS
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.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT4zc5ESGw
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOtbrW2rwc
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDyTpyUwIk
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q1FN5wmKd
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyawXTM716p
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b9pOLOMX8
JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczB67ODlIr
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTllcyRsxw
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSwfPzJRj
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0KAgskByf
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD01yp78un
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNp6dw6oJV
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYWXVCWqMX
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iT8mwGpOH
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hky94YCMy
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLbq964ULd
FADE OUT.
