A User's Guide to the Iris

I've annotated the transcript for your viewing pleasure. This is the propaganda the Union bastards spew at their own people. Most of you probably saw this when you were kids in primary. Remember it. Remember them lying to your face. -Rhyatt

Your New Link

Congratulations, user. You've taken a vital step towards citizenship in the Solar Union[/link].¹ Your Link brings the solar system to your fingertips, any time you want it, and brings you into a new world full of excitement- the Iris!
You may have noticed something amazing already- new lights and sounds you never knew surrounded you, all on display. That's your Link at work, bringing the Iris to life. The neural interface built into the system ensures even the strangest things can become real enough to touch.² You can shape the Iris yourself, too; with a few simple purchases from one of our affiliated boutiques, you can have the tools to create your wildest dreams. Be a fashion star with the latest designs! Cook the finest meals for your friends!³ Your imagination is the only limit.
Don't forget to keep up with your friends! Your Link can put you in touch with anyone, anywhere, and it makes creating a snap. Sense playback takes your sharing to the next level- no need for a camera when you can give them the real thing.⁴
You might be wondering, "but what about security?" The Iris is as secure as any system in known space.⁵ Where you may face annoyances or harassment in the real world, protecting yourself on the Iris is as simple as blocking the offender- nothing else needed. For your safety and happiness, your Link will even automatically filter out dangerous or distracting information to help you stay safe and stay focused, presenting just what you want to see.⁶
Your Link is vital- let us help you use it, and see all the possibilities of the Iris.

1. The next step is military service, stomping your boot on the throat of anyone who steps out of line for half a decade. 2. And it can filter things out, too. Disable your Iris access if you're working in a hostile hab; I've still got bruises from the last Revenant who wiped themselves off our feed. 3. You're still eating algae underneath the Iris overlay. You'll remember when you're still hungry. 4. And no need to follow you around or set up surveillance cameras when you've got a spy riding in your brain. 5. That is to say, riddled with backdoors, exploits... and people like me. 6. This is a big deal. This is the closest they get to admitting the game they're trying to run. Make no mistake- Links with the Union backdoor intact are propaganda machines, built to present what they want you to see. Any safety is just an added bonus.
Keep your Link clean, brothers.
