Scene opens:The rooftop is now empty. The sky has cleared a little. The storm is calm — for now. Morning light begins to pierce the horizon.
Inside the underground facility — Aran, Liya, and Shaggy stand before a tactical screen showing a blinking red dot. It marks a location outside the quarantine zone — a zone untouched by the virus... for now.
Aran (voice calm, steady):"They're planning to release the next strain here. If that happens, the world's finished."
Shaggy:"So we take it down before they can."
Liya (arms crossed):"What exactly is there? A lab? A drop site?"
Aran:"Both. It's where the original outbreak was meant to start... before something went wrong. Before I escaped."
The others go quiet, the weight of that truth heavy.
Shaggy (looking at him):"And now they're trying again."
Cut to:Keira sitting in the corner, quietly drawing with a broken crayon on the floor. She draws Aran with a big sword, and her beside him holding his hand. A small sun shines in the corner of the paper.
Liya walks over and kneels beside her.
Liya (softly):"Hey. That's Aran, huh?"
Keira (nodding):"He saved me. Twice."
Liya:"Yeah. He does that."
Back to the mission room.
Aran lays out a plan:
Infiltrate the drop zone.
Extract any intel on future virus drops.
Destroy the release system.
Shaggy (cracking knuckles):"Finally, something I can smash."
Liya (loading ammo):"If we do this, we do it clean. Quiet. Fast."
Aran (nods):"And we don't fail."
Later — at sunset.
The team rides out in a black armored vehicle across broken highways and abandoned city limits. The camera pans behind them, showing Keira watching them disappear from the rooftop.
At the drop zone – midnight.
An abandoned military base lies silent under moonlight. Barbed wire fences, rusted watchtowers, and a strange hum coming from deep underground.
They sneak in through broken fencing. As they enter a stairwell leading to the lower levels…
Suddenly — mechanical sounds.
Shaggy (whispering):"Drones. Armed."
Aran (drawing his weapon):"They're guarding something… important."
As they reach the control room — Aran freezes.
On the wall: A screen blinks.Words appear:
"HELLO, SUBJECT A-01."
Liya (shocked):"...They're watching us."
Aran (eyes narrowing):"No. They're waiting for me."
Final shot:
A figure stands in another facility miles away, watching the screen — half-covered in shadow. A commander with glowing red cybernetic eyes.
"Let him come. It's time he sees what he was created for."
