History
"For their own protection."
War is change, though not necessarily for the better. In 2009, things are dire, and the precepts of Darwinism rule the United States. Dog eat dog. Kill or be killed.
The government of President Nathan Petrelli is the big dog. Some of the little dogs have sharp teeth, but that hasn't stopped it. Yet.
Members
- Nathan/Logan - The two-faced head. It's all his fault. (AssassiNated.)
- Rianna - The nerve. Oversees Homeland Security as it combats the rising wave of domestic terrorism.
- Cyprus - The voice. He acts from the sidelines and the shadows, dealing with the media and relaying orders.
- George and Aileen - The hands. He supervises various Homeland Security field operations, she works to change the playing field completely. (Defected.)
- Erin - The sword. Diseases made to order. (Up in the air due to amnesia.)
- Laurel - The shield. Literally. (Killed in action.)
Honoraries:
- Benjamin - The circadian rhythm. He'll be there when you wake up… and fall asleep… and wake up again… (Escaped.)
- Mohinder - The old brain. Be worried that this didn't last very long. (Executed for non-cooperation.)
- Cass - The new brain. (Escaped.)
- Octavia - The lack of common sense. Contractor. Mad scientist type.
- Persi - The dagger. Almost as crazy as Erin, who recruited her.
