The Story

A solitary spacecraft makes a landing on a seemingly barren asteroid. The traveller is himself a machine, a private investigator. He pries open an old hatchway to go below. Under the ice, tunnels descend deeper and deeper into the dark.

It’s a refuelling station, a halfway point for missions to the outer reaches of the solar system. It was, until they shut it down. What happened here?

Pi, (the investigator) finds an inactive robot. He revives her. This is Kieru, the facility manager. Why did the company take so long to send an investigator? It takes a bit of work to get it out of him but Pi admits there’s trouble in other facilities.

Pi is investigating the disappearance of thousands of dollars in company property and the mysterious demise of one of the workers who goes by the name of Faraday.

What is the project Kieru is so desperate to conceal? And what really happened to Faraday?

Pi investigates this eccentric crew who cut out an existence for themselves in the rocks and ice of the asteroid, always under the shadow of the Company.

Doc and his crazy projects. Daisy, skittish and nervy. What is she so nervous about? Grip is like a pair of disembodied arms joined at the shoulder, a good natured beast. Cutter says little and works away cutting tunnels deeper and deeper into the ice.

They all seem innocent enough but how safe is Pi alone with this motley crew under the fractured and creaking ice of this far-flung asteroid?

"A lot of live action and animated films construct sets that are fragments of the total location. Working in a game engine we were able to make the main location in one piece. This will allow the camera to chase characters from room to room to room without having to cut. It also allows us to unlock the camera during an animated sequence and move it around as the characters go through their paces on the virtual set. This is all in real time and allows us to get the perfect shot to communicate the heart of the scene."
