EXT. SECURITY HQ PERIMETER – NIGHT
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQZT9D4yVt
Smoke drifts across flood‑lights. Emergency barricades ring the plaza; med‑drones whisk the wounded away. Jason’s squad jogs out of a breached doorway, armor splattered with black alloy.

Commander Nine‑2’s mobile command crawler looms nearby—antennae bristling. Multiple patrols converge, tossing quick salutes.

SERGEANT‑BOT
“Team Epsilon reporting. Interior’s a nightmare—walls alive, staff infected. Samples acquired.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedmCt31GqC
SCIENCE‑OFFICER DR‑412 (holds vial of glittering purple crystal)
“This matches parasitic alloy but incorporates an information lattice. It records and re‑broadcasts stimuli. Heat disrupts filament cohesion.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbIDU5xXRD
JASON
“So cook it till it stops screaming.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4C2LoKCym
DR‑412
“Precisely. Plasma or sustained lasers reach disassociation threshold.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HY3PWK5av
Commander Nine‑2 swivels his rectangular head.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wX7Ix6CK7
COMMANDER NINE‑2
“New directive: Form plasma strike teams. Purge interior growth, secure path to core.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDf3Oofkyx
He points to a pallet where engineers unload fresh gear: plasma lances, thermal rifles, portable incinerators.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmqm8HoVWd
JASON (grabbing a thermal rifle, checks the mag)
“Looks like toaster season.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrAGtivm35
TROOPER #2
“Citizens are fully evacuated; S.R.S. cleared five‑block radius. Collateral risk minimal.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGm9KVwL0l
DR‑412
“Caution: Extreme heat may destabilize HQ structure. Aim for vines, not load‑bearing steel.”

They sync HUD frequencies—target glyphs glow red over the spire silhouette.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISmPtQU2Q
SERGEANT R8
“Objective: carve a trench through north executive wing, torch any growth, rendezvous at elevator shaft.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOoOsdrLBO
JASON
“And if the shaft’s a giant esophagus?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTEYRrH4Ba
R8
“Then we give it heartburn.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDlEKM9DDn
Teams slap power couplings; weapons hiss as capacitors charge, blue‑white plasma licking muzzles.

Moving Out
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhje2Xx7Xbk
Jason shoulders his rifle. Overhead, the spire throbs—distant roar like metal trees bending in wind. Lights across the plaza flicker red as power reroutes to defense grids.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3m9UbwlB7
JASON (V.O.)
“Round two. Hot guns, hotter tempers. Let’s see if fire really cleanses.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq20C5a7To
They advance toward the gash in HQ, heat‑weapons glowing—ready to re‑enter the living labyrinth.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjHsHysuHL
FADE OUT.
