+Although scientific progress in the game has been incredible, it has barely scratched the surface of what might be possible. New technology, never-seen-before phenomena crop up all the time. The galaxy is vast and wide and weird, and there is so much more to discover. This aspect of the game is designed to give scientists scope to discover, catalogue and invent all manner of things in the universe, but the focus here is on discovery. Practically anything encountered at events can be [[scanners#Sampling|Sampled]], and Researched to find out its keywords - which are decided by the Game Team when it is researched, and could be literally anything. Once these keywords are established, scientists can use them as a base material to create all manner of fantastical Inventions.
+However, the setting of OSLRP has not yet incorporated some future technology touchstones that other science fiction media leans heavily on:
+  * Independent Artificial Intelligence
+  * Miraculous Biotechnology
+  * Superhuman Cybernetics
+Sometimes because these things are a core part of a MegaCorp's identity, and hiding it behind their corporate secrecy veils provides more game to the system, and other times there are elements of these that we want to explore more as the game progresses.
