Project Pyro Supporters

This faction plays the anti-villain in this plotline. These people are doing terrible things, unforgivable things because they believe they must. "Can't you see," people of this sub-faction would say," we were losing. We have to incorporate bug biology into ourselves. The board of directors were questioning this dreadful purpose, of course, Mr. Knight had to eliminate them. Of course, we accept his emergency powers. Of course, we have to pull all of Ares back to home base to undergo this horrible upgrade, metahumanity is lost if we don't."

Goals

• Save metahumanity from the bug threat using the only means that can do that.
• Eliminate all traitors inside the company stopping this goal.
