The older OTR, who was given the name Stellethee, operated an independent security and logistics company that allowed it to gather input from an employment workforce who did not have full government security clearance. Stellethee Security & Logistics developed the technologically-hardened set of long-range hybrid convoy vehicles. These vehicles were blank-slate response vehicles, with audible and light strobe technology that was regionally customized.
In the event of a major disaster, these vehicles (typically SUVs, with reinforced bumpers and other next generation law enforcement hardened-tech) could travel to a location with the audible and visual presence of state police, then switch into a medic presence mode upon arrival at the scene. This technology was essential to providing covert security with direct monitoring by the federal government at any significant incident. Stellethee Security & Logistics was not a law enforcement agency (despite rumors of such based on its funding and collection of talent). It did, however, license its technology to specific organizations.

The project ceased upon the ten year anniversary of the PATRIOT Act. Stellethee's Security unit disbanded and the company concentrated on disaster response logistics. The convoy vehicles, outside of Stellethee's Next Gen model group, were removed from street duty.
The younger OTR, who was finishing his master's thesis before the acquisition, now effectively retired upon the signing of the PATRIOT Act, and wealthy beyond any concern due to wise investments in the decade that followed, was concerned that the government was not thoroughly evaluating the corporate and non-profit sector for financial terrorism. Over the ten years that followed the PATRIOT Act, he spoke in small groups, typically in a diner arrangement, after hours, where those surrounding believed he was just spouting fantasies.
The interns of the original puppet corporations were spread out into the corporate and non-profit sectors, but were constantly concerned with the power the junior OTR had. Angel would refer to the intern network as EthOps, the ethical operations network, as they were volunteers, unconnected, who believed fully that the murdering of civilians for profit was in fact an act of terrorism.
