INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
27Please respect copyright.PENANAB9O0Nowqhh
[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.”]
27Please respect copyright.PENANAeFkGEpDTYE
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAetXV4zAnGO
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANA9V5Unu2RiW
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
27Please respect copyright.PENANA8etSz2GN8r
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.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAaPp2Xm8f76
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANA8pHinI8llF
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAnaMdw7Usdp
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAQbaxv1ZHeH
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAC1iil2kJYw
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
27Please respect copyright.PENANA15JVeUUl6e
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAps1MVpXcFz
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
27Please respect copyright.PENANABR2fUfwI09
[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.]
27Please respect copyright.PENANAgGalAM4uzm
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANADhFhhhj2Q1
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANA7TTX0tQTqt
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
27Please respect copyright.PENANA23OpujPudE
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.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAZBxIVScCHX
[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.]
27Please respect copyright.PENANADXTx5S4Bwm
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAvpI177dDtT
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAJASWWuAeeM
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAKZrkn1FhoK
[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.]
27Please respect copyright.PENANAR9z1V4cbKn
JASON
“Still got it.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAw7yl89JU10
[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.]
27Please respect copyright.PENANAtkWJTSzXin
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAredQV2P70T
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANA4PSPkN3YMu
27Please respect copyright.PENANAczCL0QJp9G

27Please respect copyright.PENANAEYt7a7nLSs
[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.]
27Please respect copyright.PENANA6PKE5PdyoI
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAcdqck5TxHe
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANADXLpDa87x8
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANAhJKAl3VvEB
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
