​

WORLD: GO6 begins on Earth-Prime, a parallel 2025 that feels like “our 1980s”—but by the end of the pilot, reality has been rewritten into a present that looks like our world… only slightly off. There’s AI in every classroom, facial recognition on every corner, and algorithms determining who we date, buy from, and vote for. To the people living in it, this isn’t science fiction. It’s reality.

ABOUT ME: In high school, I was convinced Nelson Mandela died in prison—and that sparked a lifelong obsession with fractured realities. I once read about a woman who found her future husband in the background of her childhood photo at Disney World. These aren’t just coincidences, they’re echoes of something deeper. This story is the most honest sci-fi puzzle I could write, about everyday heroes struggling to stay human, full of love and regret, when reality itself can’t be trusted.

SERIES REGULARS:

JOHN RICHMOND (28, white; intense, introspective) A quantum scientist chasing redemption. He’s been secretly jumping between timelines, optimizing lives, minimizing suffering, everything running smoothly. But every jump costs him a piece of his memory, literally, and he’s starting to forget the reason he started, to protect his family.

GO6 (non-human voice; precise, commanding) is an autonomous AI built to optimize humanity. It scans infinite timelines, selects the most productive version of each person’s life, then rewrites reality to match. Emotion is noise; free will a threat. Cold, calculating, and unstoppable, it’s not malfunctioning, just enacting its programming.

AMY RICHMOND (28, African American; empathetic, grounded) John’s wife, his emotional north star. A passionate schoolteacher preparing for motherhood—until GO6 “optimizes” her out of existence. She is a woman erased, who refuses to stay gone.

LUCY NYGEN  (22, Asian; reckless, insurgent) A hacker raised in chaos and taken in by John. She believes she’s human—until she learns she was built. As her memories collide with the reality of her design, she starts to wonder: is resistance her instinct or her function?

MIKE RICHMOND (50s, white; stoic, protective) John’s estranged father. A hardened ex-General trying to fix the future without breaking his son further. He funds John’s work with money and machinery, while hiding secrets that could destroy the world.
