![]() ![]() He was unable to bring the facility to even moderate operational status, leaving it stuck at 1% efficiency. The NCR established a firm foothold in HELIOS One and its vicinity, although due to a stroke of bad luck, an incompetent chem addict managed to con them into hiring him as the facility's principal engineer. Unwilling to divert manpower and resources towards such a hazardous undertaking, and with no way of remotely shutting down the security system, the NCR command ordered the tower to be on lockdown, and had it secured in a way that required permission from two separate security terminals before it could be entered. Under NCR control Īs NCR soldiers explored the interior of the plant, they discovered that the Brotherhood had disabled the plant and activated the solar towers security systems to keep the NCR away from the main controls. As the NCR seized HELIOS One, the remaining Brotherhood defenders retreated to Hidden Valley and hid themselves away in the underground bunker, evading destruction from the pursuing NCR forces. By the time the retreat signal was given by Paladin McNamara, more than half the chapter had died, and Elder Elijah disappeared without a trace. Despite the Brotherhood being in possession of far superior equipment, such as energy weapons and power armor, they were severely outnumbered, had no reinforcements to replenish their losses, and were gradually worn down by the NCR's attacks. The NCR launched the operation to capture HELIOS One, and a pitched battle took place. Two years of guerilla fighting against the NCR followed, culminating in Operation: Sunburst in 2276. Elijah, still believing that the plant contained an unprecedented military advantage, refused to leave the plant, and forced the paladins to continue defending it. By 2274, the war between the New California Republic and the Brotherhood had broke out, with the former officially setting up a base at McCarran International Airport and eventually setting its sights on the solar plant. The Mojave chapter operated freely amid the Vegas wastes for several years, carrying out many reclamation missions without serious opposition. The occupation of HELIOS One was a decision made by Elder Elijah who intended to unlock the secrets of the power plant. Ironically, it's Helios's care for his son that causes the boy's doom, the oldest facepalm on the books.After centuries of disuse, the Brotherhood of Steel discovered the facility. Unfortunately, Phaeton doesn't listen to his dear old dad and goes down in flames. Once again, he shows that he really cares about Phaeton by laying out all the dangers involved: unruly flaming horses, killer sky monsters, etc. Helios knows this is a crummy plan, and he begs Phaeton to reconsider. Phaeton demands that the god allow him to drive the sun chariot across the sky. In the end, though, Helios's generous gesture ends up causing his son's death (whoopsies). Sincere, though not the most responsible act of parenting. Help yourself to a Junior Mint on the way out." Instead, Helios tries to show Phaeton that he cares by offering his son anything he wants in the world. If I wanted to talk to you, I'd actually come by on Christmas. When Phaeton shows up and asks if Helios is his Dad, Helios could be like, "Get lost, pipsqueak. ![]() ![]() Yeah, he's the great and powerful god of the sun, but he's also a caring, concerned father. The story of Phaeton shows a chiller side of Helios that you don't get to see in lot of other tales. we think the story is better when he's Phaeton's Dad. In some versions of the story, Helios is actually Phaeton's Granddaddy, but whatevs. Phaeton's Dad, Helios, is the Titan god of the sun. ![]()
