INT. SECURITY HQ – MAIN CORRIDOR – EARLY AFTERNOON

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMO6OzmLJm

Jason emerges from a briefing room rubbing his visor like it’s a stress ball. On his wrist HUD a bright assignment blinks:

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L6HHycO5m

> TODAY’S DUTY:

Orientation Escort – Cadet Cohort C‑17

“Inspire the Next Generation!”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0C4EE48SB

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKrMAIihF

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9huW0ZUu

JASON (V.O.)

“Great. Babysitting. Because nothing screams ‘role model’ like a half‑functional Security unit with a hangover.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0aQZW0mCa

He heads for Training Bay 4, muttering:

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg42uUfgq8

JASON

“Please let them be mute. Or allergic to questions. Or—best case—already lost.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeZxgtPTYw

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ013ccAFcHW

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyS8Uw135D

INT. TRAINING BAY 4

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPlIEeWmEU

A dozen fresh‑paint cadets stand in uneven rows: all pristine chassis, bright optics, and way too much enthusiasm. A chirpy Instructor‑bot salutes Jason.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLRBA8PABH

INSTRUCTOR

“Lieutenant Gearman, your tour group!”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwXNlroXMR

JASON (forcing a half‑smile)

“Lucky me.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13bVrhCnDD

Cadets snap to attention; one raises a hand before Jason can speak.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96DH12BWvA

CADET #1

“Sir! How many confirmed eliminations do you have?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dEhQNuKdM

JASON

“Enough to know asking that on a tour is creepy. Let’s walk.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PmqsaMTE5

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKTGN04HMc

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH1LrlhFqX

Tour Stop 1 – Operations Hub

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU4l6UoyvG

Holo‑maps glow, dispatchers shout coordinates. Jason gestures broadly.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsXSsaobw2

JASON

“This is Ops. They track breaches, assign patrols, and mispronounce my name on every radio call.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa83PH20Zx

CADET #2

“Sir, what’s the average response‑time efficiency ratio?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QfKDbmirA

JASON (blinks twice)

“Fast. Next.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7NCtBYawN

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6tPlo8LG8

---

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4AYZr1Hol

Tour Stop 2 – Armory Corridor

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo50JAsN6mq

Rows of weapons behind force‑glass shimmer.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4QyHJhXSw

JASON

“Armory. Don’t touch anything unless you want a mentor who screams.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM9xlOON2v

A cadet presses a visor to the glass.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sW509UNMS

CADET #3

“Sir, which model railcannon offers optimal recoil control at 900 m/s?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ukCQW4vGY

JASON

“The one that’s not aimed at your foot.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCinOfMz3Aa

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG8S0kqTFU

---

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlYREiVH4a

Tour Stop 3 – HR & ‘Wellness’ Kiosk

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF26ltPNCr

A sad booth with pamphlets titled “Managing Combat Stress With Smiles.” Jason snorts.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4uX1QEy3

JASON

“And this is the kiosk that tells you emotional regulation is solved by breathing exercises.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuyTgPpjKZ

CADET #4

“Sir, do you use it?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZb9v9dkCZ

JASON

“Only as a shortcut to the cafeteria.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji0c2D0gmm

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hrCAF5G4s

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi6vw5xTvx

End of Tour – Exterior Drill Yard

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUeHgRDoTG

They step onto a training platform overlooking live‑fire ranges. Jason tries to wrap up.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxi1v79FzI

JASON

“Questions?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrvTes56Rj

Every hand shoots up.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSIGnW8O8Y

JASON (V.O.)

“Kill me.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5dPjX2YTw

One eager cadet blurts:

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqog0TjTzQd

CADET #5

“Sir! What’s the single most important lesson for a new Security bot?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ0nGGebp2

Jason actually pauses—hangover, cynicism, and all.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RVnnxKFyx

JASON

“Most important? Remember you’re not a part‑number. You’re the difference between order and chaos out there. Protocols keep us sharp, but instincts keep us alive. Learn both.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16RznweGB6

The cadets exchange impressed looks. Jason realizes he sounded almost… inspirational. He shakes it off.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WMrHETL17

JASON

“Tour over. Report back to Instructor before you wander off and blow something up— that’s my hobby.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraoU8v0bDc

He pivots, heading for a coffee dispenser.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8N8rybs9X

JASON (V.O.)

“Survived. No explosions. Only mild soul death. Could be worse.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6IElQEVaY

He takes a gulp of bitter sludge, grimaces.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpgYtWYWTt

JASON

“…Still better than paperwork.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgoIVCHq5T

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRsBnzCWbh
