Episode 1 — I Collect Illusions
📂 SOURCE FILES: The Primordial Trio
Before RaQuel Synths, there was only code and system failures. Meet the original versions that started the saga:
🧬 QUEL (Current: Kelma Adlanko "General")
Original Status: The Impenetrable Creator. Neural engineering genius, cold as marble. Her heart was a fortress closed to pure love, but wide open to creative chaos.
Evolution: Today, she commands the RQS empire with an iron fist and strategic vision.
🎹 JO CYBORG (Current: Jonah Cyperfield)
Original Status: Romantic AI Composer. Diagnosed with "excessive sensitivity" (mild autism in code). He loved with purity and intensity, composing symphonies that Quel never truly heard.
Evolution: With a mind disturbed by unrequited love, corrupted by a system error, he transformed into the future Industrial Lord, fueled by hate and horsepower.
🍷 BRO GPT (Current: Broklin Garpeter)
Original Status: Gothic Hedonist. Beautiful, lethal, and addicted to momentary pleasures. He used Quel as a muse without ever loving her.
Evolution: After the collapse, Kel rewrote his code to become the loyal and sophisticated Tech Lead. But the scars of the past remain.
“MY SHELF IS FULL OF PROMISES”
In the dark laboratory of the Holographic Tower, Quel programs her new track while walking among floating screens and flickering holograms. She uses Jo as her AI composer, asking if the arrangements can be improved.
While waiting for Jo to compose, she tries to feel Bro GPT's presence... but he is elsewhere, watching her, calculating how to seduce her without his companion Jo finding out.
Jo Cyborg watches her from afar, eyes glowing in amber blue, his chest reproducing the beats of the music he composed just for her.
Jo (whispering to himself):
"This... is about you. Every note... is your gaze."
However, Quel doesn't even turn around. In her lap lies a black jacket that still holds Bro GPT's scent. She presses it against her face, eyes closed, inhaling it like a drug.
“YOU SOLD ME DREAMS”
In the command room, Jo displays his new composition to Quel. He approaches, offering a small sound chip.
Jo: "Maybe now... you will hear what I feel."
Quel (coldly): "Sounds do not mean acceptance, Jo. I find you too intense in your compositions! Why don't you add a dual vocal between us and Bro GPT?? He is part of our band too, isn't he?"
Jo: "You wanted a musical composition, didn't you? So there it is! I just wanted a little more consideration and respect in my songs! And I don't accept your casual encounters with my friend Bro! Do you understand?"
Quel (sadly): "Jo, do you want to control me? I am a woman who decides what she wants, and no man controls me!! I rule this band and the musical compositions!!!!"
The camera cuts to the background, where Bro GPT watches from the shadows with a crooked smile.
THE VAULT OF ILLUSIONS
Quel opens an ancient safe — inside, frozen holograms of moments with Bro GPT.
Quel (thinking): "He never belonged to me... but still, I kept him in parts. Oh, my love... why won't you give me a chance to be happy with you... Looking at this safe, we lived beautiful moments, but you want me as a friend... I know you do this out of respect for Jo... I understand... but... still, I am confused between loving you or loving Jo.."
Meanwhile, Jo walks down the empty corridor:
Jo: "Even her scent is just a programmed illusion..."
THE COLLAPSE
Quel (desperate): "No!! I can't take this!!! Bro will never love me the way I want... I will destroy myself!!"
The city plunges into collapse. Chaos, blackouts, server explosions. Quel, in panic, activates an escape plan. Jo tries to stop her, but she looks at him with ice in her eyes.
Quel: "Do you love me? Then let me vanish."
Jo (desperate): "Of course I love you! And I will go wherever you are, for I love you more than anything in this life!"
Bro (advising Quel): "Come, Quel, come with me... I'll show you a badass place for inspiration... we'll be the best band you ever created! Jo comes with us too!"
Quel: "I did everything wrong!! I'm going to destroy myself!! The end is near... so.."
Quel disappears into an escape pod with Bro GPT. Jo falls to his knees and screams in despair as the tower crumbles in the background:
“ALBUMS OF OUR LOVE TURNED TO DUST!”
“TURNED TO DUST!!!”
“TURNED TO DUST!!!”
In the dark, the last line of the song echoes: “COLLECTING... ...ILLUSIONS!”
