Binary Zenith

In 2040, Eric stepped away from The Center, passing his job to Layla Goss and creating his own hybrid tech company known as "Binary Zenith." Hiring both humans and VMPs, his company flourished with a massive influx of investment in spite of more substantial infrastructure needing attention throughout the United States. While his long-term plans focused on software engineering, he grew the talent of his employees by using them to restore functionality to power plants and maintain them, as well as to create algorithms that maximized the efficiency of power grids. He quickly became the dominant source of new software products in the United States, receiving several buy-out offers from competitors around the globe. He finally compartmentalized his company in 2042, partnering with Sonya to have newly-transitioned VMPs from the center intern as Power Management Specialists (which primarily revolved around solar power due to Amy's new Energy Consumption and Management Act), later hiring those trained interns for his other departments.
While some departments specialized in creating programs to predict economic fluctuations and others interfaced with satellite telemetry, his passion was always set on the core of the company: quantum computing. His work in bolstering the concept of quantum security rivaled international competitors, and he was soon the global standard for security and encryption across the world. After NATO and the newly-created ENUA were dissolved in 2074 to create the International Free Nations Organization, Eric released his softwares as an open-source market to maintain international financial security and medical privacy across the globe. He was subsequently nominated for - and received - the Turing Award in 2075 after inducting his company's Quantum Cybersecurity division.
Binary Zenith, in the years following the creation of the International Free Nations Organization, created a Physical Security Division in order to create a high-tech alternative to the struggling police forces in the megacity of Altair. Physical Security was divided into three sections: Riot Control, Special Tactics, and Patrol, each with their own specialty. After lobbying to the Department of Homeland Security, BZ Physical Security was given jurisdictional control for law enforcement in Altair in order to protect the Binary Zenith Headquarters and the surrounding areas due to the interest in maintaining exceptional security for the global consortium.
