A smartass cyborg, a deeply tired gangster, and a literal manufactured pop star walk into a wall of sand, called by a revolutionary musician who’s cheated death. But in the ruined city beyond is a power far greater. #questpit #W #SF #LGBT #hopepunk
On a background of a cracked desert with a solitary, gnarled tree float four pictures suggestive of the ensemble cast. Far left is Eden, a wide-eyed pouting beauty who recently found out that she was designed and created in a lab. Her picture is labeled "A literal manufactured pop star." Below her is Terrah, a butch-looking Black woman sitting at a computer in sunglasses. She is labeled, "A jaded security wrangler," as she has spent much of her career doing street-tough work in spite of her considerable tech skills. Up and to the right is a robot-looking fellow, representing Cid, an ex-military guy who chose to replace his body with a mech, and lost quite a few memories along the way. His caption says "A smart-ass full-conversion cyborg." Below is a skinny figure crouching in front of a laptop, wearing some kind of headset with glowing red "eyes." The prodigy hacker of the group, like all of them, is not what she seems. Her caption says, "And a cat-girl hacker." Two text boxes provide more context. The first says: "In this hollowed-out world, they thought that this was as alive as they would get." The second says, “But when they cross through the sand wall into the digital jungle, they'll learn more than they bargained for about the nature of life.” Finally, in the bottom right is a text box with the words: Working title: The Thorn. Under this, a bulleted list. First: “Cyberpunk but make it about people.” Second: “What if an Al was traumatized though.” Third: “What makes a person ‘real’?” Fourth: “What does it take to change the nature of humanity?” Last: “No irredeemable characters allowed.”

BEAUTY & THE BEAST x STAR TREK Roan, part of the last team of archaeologists sent to Earth, stumbles into an ancient bunker haunted by the synthetic mind of a trillionaire. She’s the only one who can fix his tech, but can she save him before Earth is swallowed by the Sun? #QuestPit #A #SF #R #Q
A pair of hands, one warm and one grayscale, reach towards each other over a NASA image of the Sun. Text at the top reads “She brought me back to life…and I don’t want to die.” Text at the bottom reads “BEAST OF EDEN”An image of the Sun, with a wilting rose, a black and white robot, and an espresso in a glass mug in the corners. In front of it reads the text “LOGLINE” and more text below it reads, “In this adult 99k sci-fi “Beauty & The Beast” retelling, an archaeologist excavating long-abandoned Earth can only save one before the Sun explodes: her research or a repentant synthetic copy of the man who doomed the planet.”An image of the Sun, with old records for a record played in the top left corner. The words “OPENING LINES” are in the right corner and text above the Sun reads, “Roan’s wrist buzzed with a notification. She pointedly ignored it.
She fidgeted against the wall of what would eventually be her first curated exhibit,
“Captured Sound: A Pre-Culture War Celebration of Musical Ingenuity.” Her family milled around the space, taking in the sad, mostly empty podiums.
Her moms insisted on a preview tour before it opened to the public, if it did at all. Roan
gripped her elbows, wishing she’d done more to stall, wishing she had more here to impress them. But what could she do when they wanted a private showing, especially when they made the trip all the way out to her station?An image of the Sun. In front of it is the word “COMPS” and the covers or movie posters for “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” “Moss’d in Space,” “Volatile Memory,” “In the Lives of Puppets,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and “Beauty & The Beast.”
