FADE IN: INT. SUBTERRANEAN ARCHIVAL VAULT - NIGHT The fluorescent ceiling strip hums at 120Hz. Frost coats the steel cabinets. ARTHUR PENDELTON (40s), hollow-eyed, wearing a damp gabardine trench coat, slides open drawer #405. ARTHUR (whispering) It's gone. Every single file... missing. AUDITOR VANE (O.S.) Nothing is missing, Arthur. It simply was never generated. Arthur spins. AUDITOR VANE stands in the doorway holding a lit cigarette and a red compliance stamp. AUDITOR VANE You're searching for an origin story in a bureau that only files destructions.
