In the near future, communities have structured themselves into "safe spheres". Will the French army be able to navigate this balkanized reality to rescue its citizens?
The dramatic recovery of a patient afflicted by post-traumatic stress disorder thanks to a neural implant that shifts one's perception of reality
For sociologist Guillaume Stievensen, the generalization of safe spheres is a civilizational turning point as it balkanizes the perception of the real world

Can't believe any information any more? Your last date who was so attractive in 3D turned out, in real life, to be 40 years older or with 4000 less vocabulary words?
Out of your last 300 job interviews, 250 of them were junk mail disguised as hope? Choose an anti-faker, and choose it well. Working via cross-checking clouds of certified data, a good anti-faker should carry the NFKWW label.
Identifying people that present a health risk due to a bioterrorist attack to treat them is easy, thanks to a protocol of medical examinations. But identifying ideologically dangerous elements and isolating them is more complex. These individuals are often masters in the art of fake-ID's.
Physical identity documents will be required. Solid, difficult to duplicate, they are unfortunately a rarity and held by an aging population. Former detectors of false documents are already in transit to the RERCs. Failing that, any paper document inscribed with a name can be presented for analysis, including handwritten documents (personal letters). Digital documents (invoices, receipts, diplomas, medical results, payslips, etc.), 2 or 3D visuals (family photos) can be used, but they must be analyzed for debunking.
Biodata sheets are quite comprehensive, but can be forged. An A.I. routine will be applied to each card. The cross-checking of approved databases will allow us to raise or lower suspicion. The most frequent cases are:
Today, humans are no longer alone on the battlefield. In the face of adversity, they can now count on a most precious ally: robots.
Type of weapon: light ballistic - incapacitating (taser + tear gas)
Detection qualities: thermal cameras - facial recognition
Goal: light, humanoid looking, it intervenes in urban areas for pacification actions
Number of copies: 3000 in use
Manufacturer's name: Bostrom Industry
Past and future uses: already old, the Xtent bipod remains a safe value in urban and peri-urban conflicts, especially since the implementation of a stealth shield
Type of weapon: semi-heavy ballistic + laser + sonic
Detection qualities: multi-wave cameras, motion detectors. "Nothing escapes the Impire"
Number of copies: 250 in service
Manufacturer's name: X-War
Past and future uses: New developments will allow it to move on any terrain, including water and air, and to intervene in any army corps
Goal: With the size, weight and look of a bull, Impire is a precious ally in direct conflicts, whether urban or outside the walls. Also useful for demining, but at a prohibitive cost
Type of weapon: not known at this time
Detection qualities: probable broad spectrum detectors. No stealth approach could be successfully conducted to sample
Number of copies: 88 observed, mainly in the equatorial Pacific (possible link with the Bloop?)
Manufacturer's name: ?
Past and future uses: To be watched.
Goal: After analysis, the swimmer was probably downloaded from the future. Indestructible, impossible to startle, ultra-fast, this stealthy aquatic robot would be frighteningly efficient if it obeyed orders. But no one has yet been able to give it any
The frantic race for hypervelocity weapons led to the emergence of the defensive shield, and then to the hyperfortress, which is its ultimate avatar. War will be forever changed...
