If you've seen the movie “Her,” the
implications of a digital version of yourself start to become
slightly clearer. In the movie (no spoilers—this is just from the
plot description of the movie) a man falls in love with his
computer's AI. Now imagine what would happen if we left a digital
version of ourselves behind that acted just like us? Not only would
it be difficult for loved ones to move on from their grief, but some
might be so attached that they go to extremes. Marriage to computer
AI might sound ridiculous now, but feelings run deep and it is likely
that some may move this direction. In the movie “Strange Days,” a
“drug dealer” sold digital experiences—the memories of others.
The drug dealer himself was incredibly addicted to his own product,
spending hours every day replaying memories of a former girlfriend.
With technology like this, will we ever be able to heal and move on,
or will we become prisoners of our past?
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.
