INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
29Please respect copyright.PENANAyqp1Iipv0K
[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.”]
29Please respect copyright.PENANArCHPZlxOb5
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAByW7HBueEB
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJPcemEVrky
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
29Please respect copyright.PENANANvHkvNuDSs
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAR9hOA1IDZY
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAZxEZ8UK6aE
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAdNr997Y4tt
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAt4PHoWPWrL
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAju4xkJXsqo
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
29Please respect copyright.PENANApDkeyTpuMB
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqUScR2hPll
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
29Please respect copyright.PENANALPsD79UKxo
[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.]
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQIgDqvBoRJ
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANACBF0rzvDUy
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA1yjofUo5D5
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAV1CA1KINrm
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAMF8WkzLrCm
[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.]
29Please respect copyright.PENANANzqkG1UHdP
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAlEZuptTx4n
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAgwWHL2oCAM
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAm4DNty1dNH
[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.]
29Please respect copyright.PENANA8QdCVXvbWH
JASON
“Still got it.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAZfSKIWMhij
[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.]
29Please respect copyright.PENANAD0OgNSehSi
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANArILUsutxMp
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAFRS1zhCQlF
29Please respect copyright.PENANAadrZaIG9xQ
---
29Please respect copyright.PENANAETaHuTEMaU
[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.]
29Please respect copyright.PENANAto28wQNMKX
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAbV6RHkknfX
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAPI0T3ouovp
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAGlF4ugyc2R
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
