Elon Musk has said that humans are
already cyborgs. The world's first government-recognized human cyborg
is a man named Neil Harbisson, who has an implanted antenna that
enables him to “hear” colors. Musk has pointed out that we are
interfacing through email, texts, video-chat, and other instant forms
of communication using various devices, and this has essentially
already made us cyborgs. It isn't a big step for us to start
integrating that same technology into our bodies. While technologies
are pursued to make robots more human, many of these same
advancements are being considered for humans. Robots are becoming
more biological, but aren't we becoming more...robotic? It is likely
that we will be exchanging and sharing parts and systems with robots
someday. Artificial Intelligence has already passed the Turing
test—the AI was considered indistinguishable from an actual human.
In the future, the line between humanity and machine may become so
blurred that we might not be able to discern the difference. Musk's
belief that we will soon adopt neural lacing so we can “output”
as fast as a machine addresses the fear of a robot apocalypse in a
very simple way: If you can't beat them, join them.
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.
