Google owns the internet. Does it
really? In a sense, that statement does have some truth to it if you
pull back the curtain a little to see what is going on behind the
scenes. Just about everything you do online is tracked and archived,
analyzed by programs and then shared. When I say shared, I mean that
in addition to the giant that is Google, your information is also
available to other companies and researchers that want to know your
habits. How long did you stay on that webpage? What part of the
webpage did you linger on? What did you click, where did you scroll,
and what did you type? Of course, many realize that this is the price
of using the internet, and many don't even care—what is privacy,
anymore? It is being eroded as a concept, something that is viewed an
archaic notion that only our set-in-their-ways elders are being
stubborn about. My own daughter thinks my precautions are over the
top, and maybe they are. I don't know about you, though, but I don't
like the idea that Google is constantly trying to know more about me
than it should.
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.
