Technology has also allowed us to
connect more quickly and freelywith each other than before. Facetime,
Skype, and other video chat platforms allow for people to connect and
talk through a smartphone, computer, or TV screen. My daughter has
performed violin music for my parents over an online chat session,
which is a great way for our families to connect despite living at
opposite ends of the U.S. I use videochat to conduct business as
well, and have good conversations with my clients regularly as if
they are right in the room with me. Texting, snapchat, and even
messaging through Twitter have also connected us more, and though
Elon Musk asserts that we are already cyborgs—communicating with
each other through typed text more than the spoken word—it is far
more efficient than making a phone call, waiting for an answer,
leaving a message, and then waiting for a call back, which usually
comes at the most inopportune moments. Texting can be done instantly
no matter where you are or what you're doing, can be read whenever
its convenient, and rarely take more than a few moments to respond
quickly. I've interacted more with my teenage daughter with texting
throughout the day than I'd normally be able to interact with
her—sometimes I get home from work so late she's already asleep and
I've barely talked with her the entire day. We have fun, sharing
stories, funny emojis and memes, and just being a part of
each-other's daily life.
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.
