Robin Burks
“I had to find Mr. Brentwood. And I had to save him. Zeus, Inc. had saved the world 50 years ago when we had depleted our energy resources. The very same Zeus, Inc. that now powered a majority of the known world. And that power had come from the man himself. Without him? We would all be plunged into total darkness, knocked back to the literal dark ages. Chaos could and probably would ensue.”
Robin Burks, Zeus, Inc.

“Don’t hide what you have just because people tell you it’s not normal. I have known normal people…and guess what? They are as boring as hell...”
Sidney Knight
