Shadows Over Ward Nine

SCENE 1

Dawn Over Ward Nine

Prison yard at sunrise, high concrete walls, barbed wire glinting, drone silhouette overhead — In the golden dawn light, a custom drone swoops low over the prison unit, casting a shadow across uniformed guards scrambling below and inmates huddled near a window

SCENE 2

Remote Workshop

Dimly lit garage, cluttered with drone and RC plane parts, electronic monitors glowing — A woman in a black jacket, her hands grimy, carefully assembles a small kamikaze drone by a workbench covered in tools, her eyes narrowed with focus

SCENE 3

Command Nerve Center

High-security control room, wall of CCTV screens, tense uniformed officers gathered — The Warden stands in the center, arms folded, jaw clenched, as alarms flash red and camera feeds show panicked movement in the prison yard

SCENE 4

Race Against Time

Stormy night, Alex biking fast along an empty road with a backpack, city lights blurred in the rain — Rain lashes down as Alex’s determined face is lit by a phone screen mapping the prison, her silhouette framed against the glistening road

SCENE 5

The Countdown

Prison exteriors, searchlights sweeping across sky, multiple drones launching from treeline — Multiple drones lift into the air, their LED lights blinking red as officers and the Warden stare up in dread, hands raised protectively
