Fragmented | Ryland Grace x Head Engineer Mark

After an astrophage experiment goes catastrophically wrong and tears a fracture through reality, Ryland Grace and his Eridian companion Rocky are thrown into an alternate universe aboard a damaged ship trapped inside a collapsing wormhole.

There, they meet Mark, a frazzled engineer desperately keeping the vessel alive, and the ship's Captain-an unsettling presence with no name, no recorded identity, and a face no one can clearly perceive, yet treated by the entire crew as if nothing is unusual at all.
The warpcore is missing, lost somewhere deep within the wormhole, and without it, the ship will not survive.

With no other options, Grace and Rocky join Mark in a desperate mission to recover it, while the Captain moves separately through the distortion, appearing only in fragments along their path before vanishing again into the chaos ahead.

But as reality begins to fracture around them, Grace notices something impossible: the universe seems to behave differently when the Captain is present... and choices appear where none should exist.

Now survival is only part of the problem.

Will they reach the warpcore in time?
Will the wormhole unravel their minds and bodies?

And in a universe where even reality splits into possibilities... will Grace and Mark ever admit what is quietly growing between them?
