While you may think that your online
activity is private, Google is watching. With just about every site
you visit, a script is running in the background called
googleanalytics or googletagservices. It's a process similar to when
you visit Amazon, look up Dr. Who DVD's, and then see suggestions
from Amazon about other various Dr. Who items that you also might be
interested in. Though this is nothing new (little programs called
“cookies” that record this information, in addition to your login
info, can be cleared manually or automatically, depending on your
browser's security settings), are you comfortable with Google
analyzing everywhere you visit online? I admit, I've sometimes been a
little nervous about some of the online research for Solar Echoes
that I've done, looking at info for various weapons and explosives so
that I could accurately detail them in the game—after all, players
play the game as “Union Guard” agents, which are sort of like
interstellar CIA agents. It wouldn't surprise me if my online
activity has been more closely looked at considering some of the
searches I've done!
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.
