Many like to imagine a future in which there is no status, in which all men and women are of equal rank, and thus no needless competition and rivalry. In this society, people would do their jobs simply because they enjoy them, and would be content staying in these positions for the rest of their careers. This was completely, utterly wrong, and those people were stupid for thinking so. Instead, modern society became a contest to see who could rise the highest in status, through the invention of CareerPoints. Every person who would serve in the Galactic Armed Military Enterprise, or GAME, as they came to be known, would be implanted with an A.I outfitted with ScoreBoard software, designed to keep track of any actions taken and see whether or not they were in tune with the Code of the GAME, which is, to be superior than one’s rival, and to win even when you lose. Some pick certain professions true, but they never stay in them for too long, for the ones that give out the most points change with every mission. On a scouting mission, the job for manning the scanners would be fought over the most, while on an assault on an enemy base, infantry spots would be filled out the most. To keep balance during all of this, the A.Is running the ship constantly redistribute the point values of certain tasks, while always rewarding going above and beyond. Certain positions, like being the Captain of the ship you’re assigned to, are considered to be the endgame, but those are constantly changed as well. Now, you have enlisted, outfitted with the Knowhow chip, which expanded your knowledge to a degree in which you would competent in any position. With this, all you now need is a spirit that’s willing, and no regard for the wellbeing of others, and no position will be out of your reach. All you need to do now, is to outwit the competition. This is the GAME, don’t be stuck on the bottom of the scoreboard.
