2024-2100: Foundations of Change
- 2057: An international agreement known as the Great Climate Accord is reached to combat climate change, with ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, and preserving biodiversity.
- 2060: The development and deployment of advanced green technologies, including carbon capture and sustainable agriculture accelerates. This marks the beginning of a major shift towards environmental sustainability.
- 2068: The first commercially viable fusion reactor is developed, providing a nearly limitless and clean energy source. This technological leap greatly reduces humanity's reliance on fossil fuels.
- 2075: Massive efforts in the great ocean restoration project are made to restore damaged marine ecosystems and halt the acidification of oceans, leading to the gradual recovery of marine biodiversity.
- 2100: Despite significant progress, the late 21st century sees a severe environmental collapse due to previous delays in action and unexpected consequences. Only half of Earth's surface remains viable for human habitation.
- 2120: The United Planet successfully establishes the first permanent base on Mars, "New Horizon," to conduct research and prepare for future colonization.
- 2195: Revolutionary hard-light technology is developed, allowing the creation of highly flexible and durable holographic interfaces and structures.
- 2224: The first Hybrids are created.
- 2247: The Elheen became the First Contact with an alien species for humanity.
- 2250: An asteroid collision destroys Tellus' moon, causing widespread panic and a significant impact on tidal forces and satellite operations.
- 2275: The Tellurian Space Academy is established as a prestigious institution for training future generations of space explorers and researchers.
- 2289: Genetic eugenics is banned.
- 2350: Advances in cryosleep technology enable long-duration space travel, allowing crew members to remain in stasis during extended missions beyond the solar system.
- 2389: Mechs are classified as a species.
- 2400: New biomechanical technologies are introduced, allowing for advanced integration of human and machine capabilities, improving both medical treatments and operational efficiency.
- 2439: The Hybrid Liberation Act is passed.
- 2427: A stable wormhole is discovered leading to the Andromeda Galaxy, opening new avenues for exploration and colonization.
- 2464: The Mnemosyne embarks on its historic mission to explore galaxies beyond the Milky Way, carrying a crew of 300 and 100,000 settlers in cryosleep.

{Disclaimer: not a mod)
Jack would need definitely to be crew, since only crew are being woken up right now (so he couldn't be, like, just a liason for Puppymills Inc, here to do business in their new world), but I don't see any reason why he couldn't have dual loyalties, both to the Mnemosyne and to some other business.. especially if he kept his ties to that other business more or less secret, at least at first.
As far as a team on the ship to join, with his canon backstory as a "code monkey" he could annoy the hell out of Rin on the CompSci team? Reading over his wiki (I'm not at all familiar with Borderlands) he might make a good choice for Operations too, which is the perfect role for a sketchy bastard with materials maangement skills.
If you wanted to try him out in this environment, there was a test drive in January that you could post him on. The next new one isn't due for a couple of weeks, but there'll be a fresh one coming soon too, if you want to wait. Welcome!
Edit because oops, hit send too soon: As far as having a Big Bad company goes, I love the idea of somebody with a robot army pretending to be all about love and peace and the welfare of humantity et al, but secretly still capitalist (or worse) at heart. Earth is Tellus now, and everything's post-scarcity, money's not real, there's a total Star Trek vibe of equality and environmentalism, but naturally there's still folks with rot in their souls and I think finding ways to have a power-hungry organization quietly spreading its tendrils through a culture that pretends to be above such petty issues is going to be awesome to play around with.

I was definitely thinking Operations: Admin with a background in Engineering! He's too much of That Guy to not have him in a role where he gets to tell people what to do (even if they don't listen). And in terms of keeping it secret, that's a good idea!! At first I was thinking maybe he was some sort of liaison between the Mnemosyne and Company™, where they sent him in a lateral transfer to assist in their goal of finding new
adspaceproductshorizons (: and in return would provide tech but poking about the game I didn't really see a description of who is sending out the Mnemosyne so I wasn't sure it would work. The united government at large?With all of that said and with the game setting -- I know there's the UBI system but I feel like like you said, there's still gonna be people who want to collect as much money as possible and sell as many products as possible. And what better way than taking advantage of an entirely new frontier!! Hyperion makes body mods in canon too so I feel like between the robutts and the mods there'd be a demand for their products.
I will definitely put a post together on the TDM!! I was a lil hesitant to since it's towards the end of it's lifetime but I will take your encouragement and do the thing! Thank you, friend (:

Also I apologize there was supposed to be a new TDM but there was surgery and then my computer died and I have no access to the Mnemosyne folder on it for now. By all means please go have fun on the old one!
