Story Arcs

 * Seasons 1 to 3 - From February 1999 to late-2000, Simon, Jeffries, and their allies fight against the rogue Zero Section department of the NSA, whose aim is to initially kill Simon through most of Season 1, but then changes to his capture and use for their own goals by Season 2. And by Season 3, Zero Section's prestige has begun to rapidly fade, especially after the failure of using Simon's brother Peter against him. The department is officially dissolved by NSA Director Blaine after a failed attempt by Zero Section's remaining agents to free Donaldson at the end of Season 3 by perpetrating another attack on the Chicago "L" system.
