The sky watches, the earth withers, and humanity's salvation lies with a disgraced analyst who must expose the horrifying truth behind the silent swarms.
A techno-thriller with cosmic dread, set in a near-future America where mysterious drone swarms are revealed not as foreign surveillance, but as mobile containment units for non-human, radiation-hungry entities. The story follows a disgraced geospatial analyst who uncovers the terrifying truth behind the swarms and the government's complicity, forcing him to fight a shadowy task force while navigating a society fractured by the 'new normal'.

View the posting boardThis is an early-stage franchise pitch. If the world and the vision resonate, you can put meaningful support behind it: Ink lands in the world balance for production, and your name appears on the backer roster alongside other believers. Favoriting the world and wishlisting individual productions below are lightweight signals that help the team prove demand before the heavy lift.
We are building toward ten founding backers for this pitch. Each Producer or Executive Producer subscription counts toward that goal.
Adds 100,000 Ink to this world’s balance each billing year, your name under Producers on this pitch page, and VIP read-only access to the production binder.
Back as ProducerAdds 200,000 Ink per billing year, top placement on the backer roster, your name under Executive Producers, priority support, and a direct line to the team.
Back as EPBacking is patronage support for this world's development. It is not an investment and does not confer ownership, equity, profit participation, or any guarantee that a production will be completed or that backers will receive screen credits. Producer and Executive Producer are recognition tiers on this platform.
Wishlist the pieces you want made. It is the same validation loop as favoriting the world and backing: you are telling creators and other backers where audience heat already lives.
