INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
25Please respect copyright.PENANAOVvODxyavq
[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.”]
25Please respect copyright.PENANAiZoUbuGcrD
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAjBHhhzXvb5
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA1XRUXlTRAm
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAPcPUXTjc2r
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.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA9iWH7hZuLl
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA9sBGJTtNQ9
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAho2Nb9ZeJN
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAUIDBu838xN
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAcYLWCHtdKP
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
25Please respect copyright.PENANAReiotWIa43
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAJaf5KVe43p
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
25Please respect copyright.PENANAL8j2xJLfOl
[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.]
25Please respect copyright.PENANAy8UaZtLaYP
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANArhXvBES9MR
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAfSi7ptS3fG
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWfxPFQP6
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.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANArwqlwJO9dZ
[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.]
25Please respect copyright.PENANAYjSpXHH5cD
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAbLfVzqA0uM
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA7m3k9UaMBi
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAjeFI0YMe7r
[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.]
25Please respect copyright.PENANA9dgKt46kuj
JASON
“Still got it.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA90sTZNe2RC
[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.]
25Please respect copyright.PENANALraFie4nvC
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAfSW1PwsJFI
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA9CB6wYHTpI

---
25Please respect copyright.PENANAB6hguYExFO
[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.]
25Please respect copyright.PENANAkWppM9rBdV
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAj6maA6zYRC
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANA4hSjl3Wv4w
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
25Please respect copyright.PENANAuFMyOHndSk
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
