While it is certainly true that I make
fewer phone calls from home than I used to, the fact that I can carry
my smartphone with me and talk anywhere has actually improved my
relationships with friends and family. Life is so busy these days,
with work plus family to take care of at home, it becomes less and
less practical to set aside time to sit down at home and pick up the
phone to call and talk to a family member or a friend. They're often
just as busy as I am, so finding a time to set aside to just talk can
be difficult. For me, the best time to talk is during my long
commutes to and from work, and I often call friends or family during
these times. It's a great time to catch up, and I don't feel
impatient or hurried with the conversations, because there's nothing
else I can run off to do if I'm sitting in busy traffic. My
relationship with parents and close friends has improved a lot over
the years thanks to smartphones—I'll call and talk with them
several times a week instead of letting weeks elapse before making
the time to sit down for a landline conversation at home. I don't
even have a landline anymore, either...do you?
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.
