Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
166Please respect copyright.PENANAX7LJWuqCoa
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA0RqdVDYcOv
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
166Please respect copyright.PENANAaFgDdFwXLX
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAK2FLCqIfLv
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA610yPbAZEp
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA6qmwvNxwwI
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
166Please respect copyright.PENANATUhond5fFy
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
166Please respect copyright.PENANATHDMpMsbV2
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
166Please respect copyright.PENANAEo4yjRzx5A
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA0JF6xCWJry
> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."
166Please respect copyright.PENANALhmQpVuGhn
166Please respect copyright.PENANAL48wUVUDrR
166Please respect copyright.PENANAyF4uf1VNJX
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
166Please respect copyright.PENANAwWvUpDg9E0
The memory sliced through him.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKktosDsIat
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
166Please respect copyright.PENANA5DfHWWWCf5
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA7dhWYDMwQx
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
166Please respect copyright.PENANAGGTBPVytAZ
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
166Please respect copyright.PENANARg9xOZpX8D
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAZwYli1Z2Oc
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
166Please respect copyright.PENANAtjeWgQE1D2
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
166Please respect copyright.PENANApmn1fW3C2a
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAB2HatlECx3
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAkLQ16L9gQm
166Please respect copyright.PENANACasisNE1Wm
166Please respect copyright.PENANAqEZCq1ryWh
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
166Please respect copyright.PENANA6BfK1Dscr2
“Vikrant.”
166Please respect copyright.PENANA3EFi7k4PHH
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
166Please respect copyright.PENANAkJM2LMluto
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
166Please respect copyright.PENANABQccqiLvxW
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA84FWIsXn36
> “Still alive, are you?”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAAEpamIJCU0
166Please respect copyright.PENANAcldSgkQP1a
166Please respect copyright.PENANAupR15XU1c8
He turned.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAF5AgwPk4V5
Vikrant.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAfPdtoeL7Nj
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAzwE75oPsg0
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAJeYXylebQc
166Please respect copyright.PENANAqzScKiwLXX
166Please respect copyright.PENANAu4X3WtIe7S
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
166Please respect copyright.PENANANiHDrKXMMe
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAdXvtT9T9LV
166Please respect copyright.PENANA9x7dwcLLoY
166Please respect copyright.PENANAlG9BJdkW5S
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAMZpyYzxwq4
The screen flickered, then stopped.
166Please respect copyright.PENANANAIcNBOnSB
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAb5wWPmnlu5
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAr9W5c22Npb
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
166Please respect copyright.PENANAt8EdSNqhJc
Back at the CBI.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAkhFWIz0IdM
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKEJqIFgFa9
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAXlSkjxZGEv
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKW9AsGIULy
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
166Please respect copyright.PENANA1mUj8QU9WN
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
166Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ5n5FlVOb
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
