A Curious Fragment
Centuries after the fall of the Overman regime (and the presumed freeing of all the enslaved workers of the Earth), an Overman-era recording comes to light. In it, a story-teller relates the tale of how slaves at a particularly awful factory struggled to have the legal rights the ruling classes claimed slaves had acknowledged by their owner. The victory can only be temporary: even if one owner has an epiphany, his heir may be a monster. Therefore the only reasonable course of action to rise up against the owners.
The cast included Erik Bauersfeld and Stefan Rudnicki.
The storyteller makes a point of undermining the status of the local industrial oligarchs by revealing the Vanderwaters were once slaves themselves; their founder won aristocratic status for his children through a life-long campaign of betraying his fellow slaves.
In general 2000x has excellent acting and production values. This particular episode had a decent story to go with them.
