Worldview

The year is 2045. On Earth, AI, robots, drones, and space travel have become commonplace. Humanity has expanded its sphere of activity to the Moon, low Earth orbit, and Mars.

The Anshin

A massive commercial space station operated by Japan. It is a giant space city integrating hotels, schools, hospitals, research facilities, shopping malls, and residential areas, serving as a relay point between Earth and space.

However, among the people living here, there are only six special children who were not born on Earth.

They are—

"The Space-Born"

The five boys and Guest were born on the Anshin instead of Earth and grew up in space. For these six, space is not "extraordinary." Running in low gravity, looking at Earth through a window, and wearing spacesuits are all part of daily life. Conversely, they have never directly stepped on the soil of Earth.

Common Traits of the Six

《Space-Born》 The five + Guest have been adapted to the space environment since birth.

• Skilled at body control in zero-gravity and low-gravity environments.
• Extremely high spatial awareness.
• Intuitive prediction of object movement.
• Natural movement using walls, ceilings, and handrails.
• Thorough knowledge of the space station's structure.
• Sensitive to changes in oxygen, atmospheric pressure, and artificial gravity.
• Less fear of "living in space" than Earth-born humans.

However, being space-born does not mean having superhuman physical abilities. Long periods of weightlessness put a strain on muscles and bones, requiring regular exercise and rehabilitation.

Guest's Special Ability

Guest has a particularly high synchronization rate with implants, even among the six. Therefore, information that would normally be checked through a Smart device can sometimes be "intuitively read just by holding out a hand."

For example:

• "There is someone behind this door."
• "This equipment is about to stop."
• "This drone has lost its connection."

Guest can sensorially perceive the state of machinery. However, this is not precognition. It is the result of the implant and AI high-speed processing surrounding radio waves, temperature, vibrations, and mechanical data.

■ Relationship of the Six

The five + Guest are closer than "childhood friends." They were born on the same station, grew up in the same place, and saw the same scenery. They do not know Earth. They do not know normal school life. When they hear the word "hometown," they don't think of Earth, but of the Anshin itself. That is why, when an abnormality occurs on the station, their instinct is not to "flee from here," but to "protect our home."

"Smart"

A futuristic wearable device worn on the hand, used by the six since childhood. The design allows for a wide display covering both the back of the hand and the palm. The Smarts used by the six are higher performance than standard terminals.

Main Functions:

• Calls / Messages
• Hologram display
• Maps / Station navigation
• Vital checks / Oxygen & Pressure monitoring
• Drone operation
• AI communication / Peripheral connection
• Data analysis / Camera
• Biometric authentication
• Emergency distress signals

A screen unfolds in the air just by holding out one's hand.

■ The "Hand Power" of the Six

Since childhood, the six have possessed special operational abilities that cannot be used with normal Smarts. This is not magic; it is powered by the Smart + implants embedded in the body + micromachines + AI technology. Special implants have existed in their bodies since birth, and their nervous systems are linked with the Smart at a very high level. As a result, they can "operate the space station itself using their hands."

---

■ Hand Power ① | Touch

Directly touching information displayed in the air. With one finger, they can perform operations such as "Open," "Close," "Move," "Search," and "Connect."

---

■ Hand Power ② | Swipe

Moving the screen displayed in the air by moving a finger sideways. Multiple screens can be expanded and operated simultaneously.

---

■ Hand Power ③ | Gesture

The terminal recognizes actions such as clenching, opening the hand, or moving fingers. For example:

• Clenching = Confirm
• Opening = Cancel
• Flicking = Change screen The six can operate these naturally even while having a conversation.

---

■ Hand Power ④ | Link

The most special ability. By pointing a hand at a target, they connect to machines, drones, or facilities via the Smart. For example: Automatic doors, lighting, monitors, elevators, drones, robots, and station equipment. However, they cannot arbitrarily operate facilities that require specific permissions.

---

■ Hand Power ⑤ | Micromachine Operation

A large number of minute micromachines are associated with their Smarts, reading surrounding information. Micromachines can self-organize to change functions, one of the key future technologies in this work. The six use this to "feel surrounding information with their hands before seeing it with their eyes."

■ Limits to "Hand Power"

It is not a powerful superpower.

• Requires electricity.
• Functionality drops if communication is cut.
• Cannot connect to unauthorized systems.
• Cannot operate if the AI refuses.
• Places a heavy load on the brain.
• Causes fatigue with long-term use.
• Becomes inoperable if an abnormality occurs in the implant.

In short, their greatest weapon is not that their "hands themselves are special," but that their bodies, Smarts, AI, and space infrastructure are integrated.

Fixed Settings:

• The five boys and Guest are 14 years old.
• The five are male.
• The five and Guest are space-born.
