Aetius Cypher, president and CEO of Helios, was in his office on this fine day in Arcadia. He looked over the city, his fine city, and sighed. As he rubbed his smoothly shaven chin, he wondered what was happening down there. Wondering at the people and how their lives worked. How they could feel safe out there with the robot police force and the Freedom Fighters- the terrorists, he corrected -running loose in his country. In this world. For a brief moment, his young face showed signs of wear and age on it as he pondered.

Aetius moved away from the window, shaking his head as he moved to his desk and turned on the small earpiece he was wearing, kicking his boots up on the table and relaxing with a smile.

"Hey guys, is this thing on?" He would ask into the transmitter, knowing full well that he would shortly hear a response. He was of course speaking with his top agents, wondering what they were doing at this time. At present, he had sent them out to do their own work, although he knew too well that they were up to some good work. "Report in, y'know, like whenever. I'm just here. Waiting."
