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
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKGobuqBlI
SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9rC1rmrtp
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.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQYSL8hjmK
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrKPjhCpXp
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4m2F3mdWv
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg931IYTDt
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiuz9ZnWh1
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.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEd7UDPWCi
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcjhfW3OkH
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBlyla9j3M
They sync HUD frequencies—target glyphs glow red over the spire silhouette.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxM3DlxlGG
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJvN4IRYUn
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOSuQAXKiz
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya1WDQFm4s
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMIdW2uyBW
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rlacicp4P
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gAI33zA3I
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJDpysdvzV
FADE OUT.
