Synchronicity

Año 2070. En una sociedad extremadamente competitiva, el fútbol de contacto es el deporte favorito y el gobierno de CIMA lo utiliza para entretener y manipular a la población. El Dr. Bormand, director de un prestigioso centro de investigaciones al servicio de CIMA, ha diseñado unos chips que, implantados en el cuerpo de un futbolista, permiten anticipar unos segundos la reacción de un adversario. Es lo que se conoce como sincronicidad. El problema es que estos chips no han sido suficientemente probados y pueden provocar unos efectos secundarios terribles.

It’s the year 2070. In an extremely competitive society, football is the favored sport and the CIMA government uses it to train and manipulate the population. Dr. Bormand, director of a prestigious research center serving CIMA, has designed chips that can be implanted into football players to anticipate the reactions of their opponents a few seconds ahead. It’s known as synchronicity. The problem is that the chips haven’t been sufficiently tested, and their side effects are terrible.
