Dr. Sarah Chambers, Dr. Haneefah Baqri, and Dr. Raza Ahuja, all technically-oriented Ph.D.s with different sets of skills, first met at a job fair sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley. Their meeting was unplanned and in many respects, coincidental. As a result, however, they were drawn together in an unlikely alliance by a mysterious set of circumstances that was set into motion by an equally mysterious employer who was only identified as HETC.

They were offered, as a team, a very lucrative, month-long engagement to conduct research at HETC's isolated underground headquarters in the California desert near the Nevada border. Their first assignment was to analyze the feasibility of a proposal to develop and deploy orbiting solar arrays as a future energy source to help address Earth's rapidly growing and seemingly insatiable appetite for energy. The project was called Helios after the Greek god of the Sun. All this was done under the umbrella of one of HETC's four main projects - The Gliese Project - which was focused on Energy Technologies.

After completing their first project, they went on to participate in three following projects. These four projects were:

  1. Helios (the Greek god of the Sun) - Orbiting Solar Arrays, they were asked back to participate in three more projects, which involved reverse-engineering technologies found on board a downed and salvaged UFO:
  1. Kratos (the Greek god of power) - Magnet Pulse Motor Generator (MPMG);
  2. Aeolus (the Greek god of the winds) - Electrogravitics;
  3. Demeter (the Greek goddess of the harvest) - Quantum Vacuum Electromagnetic Generators (Zero Point).
Their research culminated in startling conclusions, but the experiences they had during their stay at the underground facility on the first three projects left them with more questions than answers.
