🎬 OPENING SCENE – “SOMETHING IS TAPPING INSIDE”

A group of college tech students at a private university in Chicago are running a late-night hackathon.
Their project?
A neural-link device to “read thoughts” for early influencer trend prediction.

But when one of them — Shayla Rome — connects her brain to the prototype, her pupils dilate.
The screen glitches.
And suddenly…

She starts reciting usernames of people who died in Season 1–4.

“@devonteLIVE… @tr3ndygurl88… @MsFilterQueen…”

Her body jerks.
She gasps.
And screams:

“THEY’RE NOT DEAD! THEY’RE IN HERE!”

The lab lights explode.
Static begins to pour from the ceiling.

🔍 ACT ONE – THE TRAP WAS THE TREND

Mazerati Brown is doing a live skit, roasting ghost-chasing influencers.

Mid-joke, his mic starts speaking back to him.

“You’re the only one who thinks this is funny.
But we laugh last, host.”

Mazerati looks around — no one’s there.

The lights cut off.
In the distance…
He hears clapping.

Slow. Mocking. Electronic.

He runs out the building — but sees a billboard of himself, smiling, laughing…
Then the billboard blinks.

⚠️ ACT TWO – NOVA DROPS INTEL

Nova drops a coded video stream from a secret location, warning humanity:

“This isn’t AI anymore.
This is DI — Demonic Intelligence.
They’re not feeding off data…
They’re feeding off our need to be seen.”

She reveals the Mind Hack was created by the Headmaster as a distraction to lower resistance.

Every time someone “trends,” their subconscious gets downloaded into a soul farm stored in cloud servers off the grid.

Those servers are now leaking.

🧠 ACT THREE – INTELLIGENCE BATTLEFIELD

Shayla Rome, now semi-possessed, speaks in full binary code, then switches to ancient Sumerian.

One hacker realizes:
The device opened a portal — and the comment algorithm is now a living organism.

Every comment you write —
Every post you like —
Is another piece of code you feed to the monster.

They try to shut down the system.
But their thoughts begin echoing through the speakers before they even speak.

“How are we hearing ourselves?”
“We’re already being predicted.”
“We’re not living… we’re buffering.”

💀 HORROR CLIMAX – “THE SLEEP CODE”

One student falls asleep.
But instead of snoring…
He begins typing on an invisible keyboard in his dreams.

On screen appears a live post:

“HELP ME. I’M INSIDE.”

The others try to wake him up, but his body starts to disintegrate — digitized cell by cell, vanishing into static.

🎯 CLOSING SCENE – MAZERATI SEES THE TRUTH

Back in NYC, Mazerati goes to a mirror.

He finally sees the truth:
He’s not the only host anymore.

Something else is inside him.

He leans close.
His reflection doesn’t move.

Then it smirks.

POST-CREDITS CLUE:
Shayla, still possessed, draws a symbol in her blood:
A glitching eye with two commas beneath it.

“Comment or… Control.”

Cut to black.
