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.”
