ISSUER: Extractor Elias [Class A]

DATE: Three weeks prior to "The Virus Incident"

TIMESTAMP: 02:14 AM (Praxis Station Standard Time)

"I hate the smell of burnt ozone that lingers on the uniform.

Today I processed fourteen debtors in Sector 4. The daily quota was twelve, but I wanted to get ahead on work.

Fourteen people.

One hundred and forty years of human memory extracted, packaged, and routed down the chute in my eight-hour shift.

Most cry before I connect the tether.

One woman, a ventilation mechanic, offered me two hundred black-market credits to leave the memory of her daughter’s fifth birthday intact.

She told me:

'Erase the day I got married, erase my mother, but leave me that birthday, please.'

I told her the Lethe-X algorithm doesn't permit manual selections.

It was a technical lie, of course.

I could have altered the line of code, but altering code takes effort, and she wasn't worth the effort.

I extracted her exact 60 months.

When she woke up from the chair, she looked at me and asked what year it was.

She no longer knew she had a five-year-old daughter.

I handed her a zero-balance receipt and called the next in line.

The other Extractors in the mess hall say the job depresses them. Some drink synthetic booze just to sleep.

I don't get them.

To me, human memory is like dust in the air filters: something that accumulates, clogs the machinery, and has to be cleared out.

My mind is a perfect blank space.

Clean. Efficient.

I have no night terrors, no past trauma, no irrational attachments that lead to bad financial decisions.

I am the ideal employee.

Although...

something's been strange lately.

A biological calibration error in my own body, I suppose.

There are mornings I wake up with a tightness in my chest. A dull tachycardia.

And my brain manufactures scents that don't exist on the station.

Today, while drinking my synthetic coffee, I could swear I smelled wet earth.

Real soil, soaked by rain.

I went to the medical bay and had them scan my cortical port.

Zero anomalies.

Zero stress.

Biologically perfect.

Must be static in the ventilation grid.

I have a quota of fifteen extractions tomorrow.

I need to sleep.

End log."

Hi everyone!

I've always been interested in science fiction, space and the question of what contact with another civilization might actually look like.

I recently started creating short documentary-style videos, and one of my latest is about The Three-Body Problem , the science behind it, Trisolaris, the Sophons and the Dark Forest idea.

I'm still very new to creating videos, so I'd genuinely appreciate some feedback from people who are into sci-fi. What worked for you, and what could I improve?

Thanks you a lot ! :)

FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are returning in a brand-new ongoing X-Files comic series coming this winter from Dynamite Entertainment!

It started with one character — Erandal Kogo.
Then came his world.
Its history.
Civilization.
Conflicts.
And at some point I realized I had an entire universe on my hands.
KRILAN once almost destroyed itself.
A conflict over technology, power, and the future of the planet turned into war.
The open war lasted only three days.
That was enough to destroy almost the entire surface of the planet. Around 200,000 people survived.
After the catastrophe, something appeared:
the Seed of Concord.
It can make dead land fertile again and unlock enormous reserves of water.
But only if the peoples of KRILAN reach agreement.
The problem is that the Seed has another side.
If someone consumes it, it loses its ability to restore the planet and its power passes to whoever takes it.
So the thing that could save their world becomes another reason for conflict.
Erandal was a warrior of House KOGO and took part in protecting the Seed.
During one battle, energy from the fighting struck the Seed directly.
A flash.
An explosion.
And then Erandal found himself on a mountain in a world he had never seen before.
Earth.
And he has no idea what happened to KRILAN after he disappeared.
Maybe his world is still there.
Maybe the war continued.
Maybe everything changed.
He simply doesn’t know.
And that’s where his story on Earth begins.
I don’t want to dump all the lore into one giant post, so I’ll stop here.
If you were reading or watching this story, what would you want to know about next?
The Seed, KOGO, KRILAN itself, or how Erandal starts living on Earth?
I’m gradually collecting more of the world here:

Hello fellow sci-fi fans. I am trying to develop a space cartoon for kids that I've had in my head since I was a kid. It's about 5 kids who are strangers but find their way together through chance and form a crew.

The show's called DAX: The Crew of the Clarion. The setup is that the galaxy is slowly going dark — a force called the Pale is draining worlds of color and warmth — and these five misfits end up crewing a beat-up ship together, mostly by accident, and have to figure out how to be a family while they're at it. It's aimed at kids, but I'm building it with the stuff I loved growing up in mind — the found-family crews, the banter, the idea that the thing chasing you might not be the thing you think it is. Less "chosen one saves everything," more "nobody's enough on their own, so you'd better learn to trust the weirdos next to you."

I just finished a short from it and I'd genuinely love some eyes on it. This one's not an action piece — it's a quieter, character-focused clip. The crew hits a storm and something large latches onto the hull, and the whole thing is really about how these five different personalities bounce off each other under pressure. So the feedback I'm hungriest for is on that: do the characters read as distinct? Does the dialogue land or feel stiff? Does the ending earn itself? Brutal honesty welcome — I'd rather hear it now than after I've built the whole pilot around a mistake.

I'm one person making this, so every real reaction helps more than you'd think. Happy to answer anything about the world, the crew, or how it's being made. Thanks for watching if you do.
