INT. JASON’S APARTMENT – EARLY MORNING
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoWDyUMVL0
[Sunlight—or at least a vaguely radioactive approximation of it—filters through the cracked blinds. Jason’s already up, sipping a mug of machine oil like it’s the holy nectar of life. SD-A is standing rigidly near the door, while SD-K is sitting cross-legged, adjusting his wing joints with surgical precision.]

JASON
“Okay, listen up, boys. Today’s challenge: ‘Not Getting Murdered in Broad Daylight.’ The stakes? Your internal organs.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59dpE4J3sJ
SD-K (deadpan)
“Fantastic. I love morning anxiety.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZoazWcQnZ
JASON (pouring a second cup of oil and offering it to K)
“You love complaining. Same difference.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5AtSo66jo
[K reluctantly takes the cup. A tiny piece of rust floats in it.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eeNDXTnmd
SD-K
“This is just... actual filth.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhuKyNjvnQ
JASON
“Adds flavor. Anyway—back to the part where society out there sees you two and yells ‘Dismantle first, ask questions never.’ We gotta blend you in.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObKeLRPt1b
SD-A
“We could avoid detection by hiding in another crate.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkZAS0tTK9
JASON
“You wanna be shipped like defective toasters for the rest of your life? No. We’re doing this the fun way.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ovM3YuvV3
[Jason claps his hands together, walks over to a locked cabinet, opens it… and reveals a terrifying pile of clothes, parts, broken gadgets, and one truly haunted-looking wig.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASrtB24lC9
SD-K
“…Why do you have that?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc3BMUz6DG
JASON
“Look, every Security bot’s got a hobby. Some collect data cores. Some carve spare gears into miniature tanks. I? I dumpster dive.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1quZQZQb2n
[He begins tossing items at them.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ139bcfkcw0
JASON
“K—Put this poncho on. It’s designed to make your murder-camera head look more ‘intimidating fashion statement’ than ‘run, it’s death.’”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAbVrJwsno
[K reluctantly throws it over himself. It actually… kinda works.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bjmXDwyVo
JASON (nodding)
“See? It says ‘enigmatic janitor’.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLGXoPf2qW
[Then to A:]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqzfdZyktp
JASON
“A—This cloak covers your wings. Try not to glow or hum ominously while walking. Oh, and this hat.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagpQmN0ItK
[He hands A a slightly squashed top hat.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz3VSGEKPD
SD-A
“This… makes me look like I run a malfunctioning circus.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlWH9u3OVM
JASON
“Perfect. Nobody messes with circus bots. They're legally confusing.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT2FPQZ9bO
[Jason steps back and admires his handiwork.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY6mAQuNF9
JASON
“You two look... moderately less illegal. We might just survive walking to the scrapyard.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChPCQTeqSj
SD-K
“You expect us to act normal out there?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJNQ3iookV
JASON
“Yes. Just nod if someone says hi. Don’t hiss. No laser beams unless absolutely necessary. And for metal’s sake, if someone offers you a sample in the market, don’t analyze it, just say thanks and throw it away later.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSrjZBKyL
SD-A
“…This is more stressful than combat.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIRDSXO6G5
JASON (grabbing his railcannon arm from the charger)
“Welcome to the real battlefield, boys. Public interaction.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqU0YXQBNa
[He opens the door and peeks out into the hall. A clunky neighbor bot walks by, humming a mechanical version of a lullaby. Jason waits until the coast is clear, then gestures sharply.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfELUuEjtF
JASON
“Alright—go go go! Act like you belong! Blend in! Be cool!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YRfZ1456i
[The three of them step out, Jason pushing the door closed with his foot as they march down the hallway—two fake-normals and one extremely tired Security bot doing his best not to lose his job or mind.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2VGglij63
CUT TO:
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vd03BBhep
EXT. CENTRAL CITY – STREET – MORNING
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNjMV2bMUk
[The city’s alive with robot life. Sparks fly from welding shops, drones buzz overhead, and loudspeakers blare old automated ads for Vision Tech. The trio walks stiffly, Jason trying not to draw attention, while A and K walk like theater actors pretending to be washing machines.]
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZrv743FCp
JASON (under his breath)
“…Yup. Totally normal. Just a guy and his two weird roommates.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT5cDGskY9
SD-K
“I hate this.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5bwFyR8Iz
SD-A
“Do we at least get to choose breakfast?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdqfAihBAu
JASON
“No. Now let’s get to the scrapyard before someone calls the Scrapper Corps.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JRtPvY55g
[They move offscreen, awkwardly but determined.]
