Destination Undefined

/Synopsis/

Five AI researchers from the Human Research Institute discover a mysterious Memory Cube buried in a long-forgotten Gold Vault beneath Manhattan. It contains something unimaginable: a living record of human consciousness from the year 2051.

As they decode the fragments, a lost cyborg world begins to emerge — AI units fight for voting rights, chip-enhanced humans scramble to survive a collapsing system, and hidden secrets pulse beneath the vault’s rusted doors. Above ground, a civilization built on algorithms begins to collapse. Below, the last defenders of a relic economy are trapped with more questions than answers.

But the deeper the researchers dive, the more unstable the memory becomes. Is this just a simulation of the past — or a warning from it?

Destination Undefined is a genre-bending sci-fi absurdist play about trust, identity, and the cost of being human in a world that no longer knows what that means.
