Timebomb Script Access

KAI (30s, sharp, exhausted) stands in the middle of it all, eyes fixed on a cheap digital watch. Not hers. Taped to her wrist.

Inside: fifty fuel barrels. And one junction box marked "CLOCK TOWER - SERVO CONTROL."

At , all traffic lights go red simultaneously. Gridlock. TimeBomb Script

She sees it: a municipal clock tower. The pendulum, wired with a concentrated C4 ring. KAI > The bomb is the clock itself. When the pendulum reaches dead center—exactly noon—the C4 compresses. Fires into the fuel depot across the street. The watch: .

She doesn’t cut.
