INT. HQ SUB-LEVEL – ORGANIC PASSAGE – NIGHT
10Please respect copyright.PENANAF4a2gvbUJF
The world beneath the HQ is not an extension of it—it’s a transformation. Metal bones swallowed by a new, pulsing flesh. A world turned inside out.

DESCENT COMPLETE
10Please respect copyright.PENANAUsD4b18NNU
The squad hits ground—a wet, spongy surface, like stepping on breathing lungs. The floor gives with every step, pulsing under their weight. Searchlights struggle against the fog-thick heat. Everything glistens with sweat-like condensation.

JASON checks his suit’s systems—coolant levels already dipping dangerously.

“Temperature’s burning coolant faster than I burn through insults.”

F2
“At least your mouth still works. That’s reassuring.”

D3-MINI
“Environmental readings: eighty-five Celsius and climbing. Advise short bursts of motion, minimal power draw.”

Their boots squelch in the soft tissue. Every vine on the wall pulses rhythmically, as if pumping... something.

MOVING FORWARD
10Please respect copyright.PENANAQCZTYkdSMA
They press on in a staggered line formation—quiet, focused. The air is thick with humidity and bioelectric charge, making every movement feel watched. Yet, no hostiles appear.

JASON glances to the vines, watching their surface bulge and twitch as fluids travel within.

JASON
“Whatever this stuff is... it’s still growing.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANAyWFYQ4a3U5
R8
“No threat signs. No motion alerts. No visuals.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANA1fkYnyjyum
F2
“Yeah, and that’s what’s freaking me out. It’s too clean.”

D3-MINI
“This section appears intentionally vacant. I believe it’s... a transition zone.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANAlM3OTbSXGP
They stop at an intersection—three warped tunnels ahead, each coated in fleshy growth. One tunnel breathes inward, a slow, drawn inhale. The others ripple subtly, as if shivering.

JASON places a hand on the wall. It’s warm. Wet. Alive.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAjgE1HzmSs1
JASON
“This isn’t structure anymore. It’s... function.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANAecsSS15zSH
A distant gulp echoes from the left tunnel. Then, silence.

THE SOUND OF LIFE
10Please respect copyright.PENANALkJFmEAy9Z
The ambient howl returns, louder. Less like an animal now—more like a warning siren. Layered beneath, the sloshing churn of fluid systems.
10Please respect copyright.PENANASdE93sVwXc
The team’s comms flicker briefly—garbled whispers, unreadable data pulses.
10Please respect copyright.PENANADVH8SKlTOM
D3-MINI
“Interference increasing. Signal contamination... it’s mimicking comms traffic.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANAmYoPFUE90W
R8
“Keep line of sight. No solo moves. If it speaks, don’t respond.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Xp0eTjOv
F2
“Too late. Jason’s already been talking to the walls.”
10Please respect copyright.PENANABXQ43cooPd
JASON (dryly)
“They listen better than you.”

They press forward, down the center tunnel. The walls close tighter, breathing heavier, vines thicker. Still—no enemies. No signs of life. Only that terrible silence... and the constant throb of something enormous, somewhere deeper below.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAEBZWJ2Of36
The kind of silence that always comes before something happens.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAW34fTuaLDH
FADE OUT.
