INT. JASON’S CUBE – CONTINUOUS

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRd2XtIOCW

A clanky whirr–ding! rattles from the ancient fax machine wedged between a toolbox and a half‑dead air filter. Paper sputters out in jerky spurts.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxsraQtzTz

SD‑A (startled)

“The wall’s spitting!”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoywOuAgjR0

SD‑K

“Relax. It’s the fax relic.”

(pulls out the freshly printed page)

“He’s using 22nd‑century tech in the 29th. Figures.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleQNQUrOrO

K squints at the paper, reading aloud in Jason’s scrawled font‑mimic:

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1sNvetKyz

> JASON:

“Don’t watch too many cartoons—the electricity bill was probably fed by A’s binge time.

Try doing something else, like poker. Or UNO. They’re in the fridge (don’t ask why).

I’ll find an easier way to connect with you guys.

K, take care of A for me. Tysm. –J”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXuzQG4Sr1

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IbDn640AM

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGL6H1zxFR

SD‑A

“Board games in the fridge?”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaca5vrzax

SD‑K (folds the note, pockets it with zero ceremony)

“With Jason, nothing surprises me.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S0FZNXqvz

He strides to the mini‑fridge labeled “KEVIN” (complete with googly eyes). Opens it. Inside:

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hMjzh5Rcm

Condensation‑frosted UNO deck in a zipper bag.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QCfSXPHlD

A battered poker set stuffed into an old lunchbox.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvDtY4rIsY

Three suspicious glow‑sticks.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzDzQF3qH2

One jar of… something—better left unmentioned.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuIY0OGafD

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG53qWzcRk7

SD‑K (pulling the games out)

“Well. At least they’re chilled.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJufs8qPH3b

SD‑A (grabs UNO excitedly)

“I call dibs on the red cards!”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q9dPTPNZL

SD‑K

“You can’t dibs colors. That’s not—”

(sighs)

“Fine. But no house rules like Draw‑Twenty‑Seven nonsense.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HGzVhdTE9

They clear a spot on the floor, sweeping aside cigarette boxes and stray bolts. A spreads the colorful UNO cards, humming. K stacks poker chips with military precision.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc8XQRo095

SD‑A

“So the fax machine—Jason’s been messaging all day?”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJEs9lR9kp

SD‑K

“Yeah. Earlier note said: ‘Cadets louder than proximity alarms. Send help. Also coffee.’”

(smirks)

“He’s suffering.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedXWD7PfmC

SD‑A (chuckles)

“Poor Jason.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUj2CJElO

K deals out cards. A sits cross‑legged in the brown trench coat, practically glowing with child‑bot glee. K, leather jacket collar high, studies his hand like it’s state secrets.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNgAM4I29G

SD‑K

“Ready?”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaprguYXXzM

SD‑A

“Ready!”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTbCs08pJg

They slam down cards—Skip, Reverse, Draw Four!—the cube filling with playful rivalry rather than cartoon explosions.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRh2TIK7Eg

SD‑A (gleeful)

“Uno!”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRILgCHrJOY

SD‑K

“I will bury you with wild cards.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjMWFzmHrG

(beat, then softer)

“…and keep you out of trouble. Per Jason’s orders.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV2NYL80IO

SD‑A (smiles over his cards)

“Thanks, Mom.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM2vltsv7J

SD‑K

“Play.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGt34wN6F0

Camera pulls back: two fugitives in thrift‑store fashion, bonding over a fridge‑chilled UNO deck—while the spoon‑king watches in silent judgment.
