The company's revolutionary bio-implant connectivity chip initially aided disabled individuals in controlling prosthetics. However, after multiple iterations, the chip became an essential component for every global citizen. It not only provides real-time health monitoring and cognitive enhancement but also enables direct thought transmission through brainwave communication—an unprecedented breakthrough in human interaction.

However, the widespread adoption of this technology has redefined the concept of privacy. Every thought, emotion, and even subconscious memory can be potentially recorded and accessed. While governments strictly regulate privacy laws, they also possess the capability to retrieve cognitive data in extreme situations for public safety. This heightened transparency has created a paradox—while ensuring security, it has also raised new questions about freedom and control.
