Arc 3 Continued

So, the Six settle in as world leaders, with access to R&D departments and media influence. They each take to leadership in different ways (Cyreen has developed an implant for Bud that allows him to speak) and their popularity quickly dwindles as they are forced to deal with rebellious factions and dissent in a firm and definitive fashion. This firmness quickly gives way to near brutality in some cases, and the Six turn to science to develop a way to ensure they have supremacy.

Cyreen and Roger develop a method of giving powers (non-evolving, random, and not at the same level as theirs) and they use it to create The Pantheon, a group of 60 loyal followers who act as enforcers. The members of the Pantheon are chosen from those who each of the Six trust/feel are loyal. Because there are so many of them ( and I have a hard copy of them all written down) I'm going to mention two that are important for later, and just move on from there.

Important members of the Pantheon are: 

*Grendal Magelock- Hernan's second in command, (Grendal is not his real name, but its the moniker he adopted as a criminal) helped Hernan hide from authorities, and aided him throughout his journey as much as possible. Is loyal, but does posses a massive chip on his shoulder. Is brutal, vicious. fearless, sadistic, and honors any promise he makes.
Powers- Superhuman Strength, near impenetrable skin, resistant to elements and chemicals, doesn't burn when exposed to flame. 

*Angel Lalette- Bud's second in command. Blind, but brilliant, and has strong romantic feelings for Bud, and figured out that Bud was now physically a monster and stuck by him. Sweet, kind, balances out Bud's distrust of people with her empathy.
Powers-High level telepath, (can talk directly to Bud mentally), can fly via telekinesis, can "see" by using a her psychic powers. Can throw enemies around with her mind, invade their minds (if within range), and can predict enemy movements, making her hard to tag in combat. Also possesses a high voltage taser cane.

At this point the Six have studied themselves scientifically and have come to a realization that throughout the time they have gained powers, they have not seemed to age, and if so, at an imperceptible rate. As their reign goes on their powers develop further (will detail them in next post) and everyday citizens become more and more resentful while simultaneously fearing them.
Also, it's important to note that access to Deus Roma data and funds have allowed Cyreen to make technological leaps, especially in the field of nano machines.
