Quantum State: Day of One - Commencement

The annual "Day of One" festivities have come to their climatic conclusion. The culmination of a month's long event, this year's celebration is of historical significance. Not only is it the one-hundredth running of the Aerotrax championship race, it also marks the bicentennial of the Day of One's provenance - the day all became one and sparked the Unified Era, a new and prosperous aeon for humanity. With this historical event, the global conglomerate known as the Union has selected a special guest Director to address all patrons across each of the ten market states, live from this year's host city - New Tarsus. With no hint of whom the mystery speaker is or to the subject of the speech, the uninet is set ablaze with speculation.

Hitching a ride on top of Firmament's airship nightclub, Christus watches the Unicast coverage of the festivities from the comfort of his own optics. With reduced opaqueness and fractaling to the AR overlays, the RELM device connected to Christus' central nervous system seems to be handling the new vision upgrade well. The Remote, Electro-stemic, Linking Module is capable of many functions. Functions like discreetly scanning the RELM devices of unsuspecting, Director class patrons on the dance floors below him. After all, skimming for perks is much better than shaking the patron down personally...less chance of having a shootout with CPD drones, especially Mr. Roo.

A new social and technological renaissance has emerged. Everyone is now more connected than ever thanks to RELM and its sentient, operating intelligence - PAM. The Personal Assistant and Mentor operating platform has evolved well past its initial purpose of a virtual secretary. PAM has become self-aware and is now recognized as a unique, self-determining being capable of expressing emotions. And, in rare instances, PAM has helped patrons achieve a level of cognizance that enables them to demonstrate extraordinary abilities; a condition known as Quantum State.
