When you really think about the power the TCTF wields it makes you wonder how the Syndicate has survived. There are a lot of theories: some say World Coalition Government lets the Syndicate slide because they keep the underclass down. Others claim a connection between the Syndicate and the remnants of the countries erased by World Coalition Government's land grab. | When you really think about the power the TCTF wields it makes you wonder how the Syndicate has survived.

They have been at war with him for years but so far he has stayed one step ahead of the game. | ||
