One possible
future with robots could see us benefiting and living with these
machines in a rather benign fashion. For instance, in the futuristic
Solar Echoes game universe, robots are prevalent but have been kept
at a certain level of AI. Established law restricts extremely
advanced AI in robots, allowing them to serve functional purposes in
society while avoiding the threatening implications of robotic
sentience. However, in one Solar Echoes mission, service robots at a
shopping mall malfunction and begin a dangerous rampage. Without
spoiling the story, suffice it to say that hackers are involved with
the malfunction, which could be a very real threat in our own future,
even if we have laws confining robot AI to certain parameters.
Already, people have managed to remotely hack drones right out of the
sky and take control of them. Just imagine the risks of having a
robot in your own home that could be accessed by a hacker!
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.
