- “The bread and butter of order and security. To deliver on our promise to provide the safe future of our citizens, our security forces need to be able to defend them at a moment's notice. We do this right, we earn their trust. You see where I'm coming from? Sure, we could just pass ourselves off as military, but passing off as military means we're only defending our interests, well, we do that already, but the trust of our people is at stake here. We provide the building blocks for security and order, we get trust and stability, and support.”
- ―Jonathan Irons
- “To Ensure Security and Stability, Trust in the Atlas Security Service!”
