Technology is advancing so quickly and
being embraced so immediately that we humans are generally rather
unaware of how it is changing us. Technological integration with our
physical bodies is predicted to become a standard form of
self-advancement in the future. The competition for work with robots
and AI may result in humans choosing to have implants surgically
grafted into our brains for increased mental processing power. We may
even seek other biological upgrades so that we can better compete
with robots, such as bionic implants in our hands or legs that enable
us to perform as quickly as a robot. Ocular implants may not only be chosen
to improve eyesight, but may also project menus and videos into our
vision, and allow us to take pictures or record videos just by
looking. This technology already exists with “Google Glass,” and
though it is undergoing a challenge with social acceptance, we may
see this same technology re-emerge in other ways. If technological
implants enable us to do our jobs better and to compete with the
growing robot work-force, human cyborgs may not be as uncommon in the
future as we might think right now. Becoming a cyborg may even be a
necessity to survive the demands of future society, and we may see
that the biggest earners in the future are those that have decided to
invest in “upgrading” their bodies.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
