FILE 000-P // THE FRACTURE
FIVE WORLDS.
ONE IMPOSSIBLE EVENT.
TAINTED VI follows separate lives across five civilizations as a hidden disturbance moves through their worlds. Twenty-four hours before the skies break, small deviations begin: people act out of character, machines abandon routines, and familiar systems stop behaving normally. Each protagonist sees only a local problem. None of them realizes the same event is reaching all five worlds.
This free pilot contains one recovered fracture record from each chapter. It gives you the scale and tone of TAINTED VI without revealing the answers behind the event.
CHAPTER 02 // VORPUS
NIVIS
A machine built for weapons testing notices routines changing around him. The sky eventually fails in a language only a machine world could produce.

THE FRACTURE IS WHERE THE STORY STARTS — NOT WHERE IT ENDS.
The full TAINTED VI chapters follow what happened before these moments, what each civilization believes happened, and what the survivors do when their separate stories begin moving toward one another.
