Fragment: Written and Produced by Dan Collacottt
Co-Producer & Script Editor: Imran Mirza
Audio and music editing: Dan Collacott
In the 2030s AI and synthetics have grown to one defining moment, a point where humanity lost control of both its own future and reality itself.
Millions of miles from Earth on the Solar9, two men alone are forced to join forces to stop the space station from suffering a core meltdown. Their journey leads them to simultaneously try and reconstruct their own past and the past of the crews that died there. They find they have a shared history with Gustav Eugeny, the self made father of home synthetics and the great neural net. Eugeny’s path to creating the next phase of AI was heavily manipulated by both big corporations seeking ways to cheat death and unknown forces that are planning to take control of humanity and end a cycle that has raged for thousands of years.
But despite the powerful puppet masters laying the foundations, it was Eugeny himself that committed the one sin, the singular selfish act, that ensured two realities collided in one lonely structure in deep space.

But despite the powerful puppet masters laying the foundations, it was Eugeny himself that committed the one sin, the singular selfish act, that ensured two realities collided in one lonely structure in deep space.
Two men wake 100 million miles from Earth with no memory of who they are, or whether they are even human.
With the station’s nuclear fusion core approaching meltdown, the strangers must work together to survive. As they race to contain the disaster, fragments of the lost crew and their own pasts - begin to slowly resurface.
Alone after the death of his friend, the survivor searches the station for answers. What he discovers reveals his true identity and the dark secrets buried deep aboard the Solar9 deep space station.
Alan Mero seemingly returns from the dead with a devastating truth: he was never human, but an E130 synthetic. As the E130 reveals how all events were manipulated from the beginning, everything they believe is called into question.
The E130 believes it has been pulling the strings until it discovers that something far more powerful has been controlling everything. In the past, creator Gustav Eugeny is drawn into a dark web of corruption and manipulation.
The E130 and the Psionas discover they are trapped inside a collapsing artificial reality created on Earth by two friends. Built as a sanctuary for humanity, the simulation has become a battleground between synthetic intelligence and human minds. One of its creators may be the only person capable of restoring order.
Pulled into the ghost neural net, the E130 finds a simulated version Gustav Eugeny still alive. As the truth about their world and the E130’s identity finally emerges, they devise a desperate plan to stop the Psionas, break the endless cycle and save whatever remains of humanity.

What evil dwells within the minds and hearts of man? What warped sense of morality, greed, delusion, hides in the shadows and under the dull surfaces of rational society? There is but one truth in our dirty little hearts... life makes monsters of us all.
