INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
14Please respect copyright.PENANARbsG6dOFZk
[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.”]
14Please respect copyright.PENANAwIyBUH2QVS
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAUycAB3SA7u
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANA7DXGsw7IpT
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAZu5AqNkqGt
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.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQpZdJdm5XX
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAylu3jB7sfO
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAKReCRxNRCW
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
14Please respect copyright.PENANA3B0N0MeOOt
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQKvy3OmmOS
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
14Please respect copyright.PENANAyGxok1XN1a
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAKV4ZnZ6MVG
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
14Please respect copyright.PENANAWLho8uvSf8
[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.]
14Please respect copyright.PENANA6dUT4CqaGG
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAKOsjUEMxqY
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANA67iGmPjzbg
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAW6Ic8Umm4g
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.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAsW1ThNo6no
[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.]
14Please respect copyright.PENANAwVkeCTrMbR
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAoy1zBHwrrN
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAZRUIrLIhdW
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANABr3F9wkLEj
[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.]
14Please respect copyright.PENANAhlSCofl9oU
JASON
“Still got it.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAm7cDcFm9oi
[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.]
14Please respect copyright.PENANAf74kqbLAiN
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAC7ZRdM0ex0
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtqJheoMmTv

14Please respect copyright.PENANAgLBuefiF8e
[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.]
14Please respect copyright.PENANAx2WOCYHaKj
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAexghlNY48p
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAp3LdMcS2q5
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXwciLASCuS
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
