From transhuman zetta-tech androids, to the bewildered time-traveler who came to see new wonders, down to the humble robot who yearns for freedom, the only limits are your imagination.

Make your own stories in the mold of Babylon 5, Dancers at the End of Time, Doctor-Who, Fifth Element, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lexx, Torchwood, and other science-fiction of high concept and mature themes.
