Ooh, a Humanis/Alamos 2k twist! This could get
interesting....now, when/where would this be set, and what would
be the chain of events that brought it about? Hmm........
Obviously it couldn't be actually set in 2060, it'd have to be
somewhere down the road, but how long do you think would it take
to invent the tech and set something like this up? I'm thinking
probly ~50-100 years....
