Æon Flux (V.O.):

Some call Bregna the perfect society.  Some call it the height of human civilisation.  But others know better.

The Goodchilds built Bregna to ensure us a future.  They built the Relical, a memorial to remind us of what we’ve survived.  They built walls to protect us.  They tell us that, outside, nature has retaken the world.  But the real problems lie within.

We are haunted by sorrows we cannot name.  People disappear, and our government denies these crimes.

The Goodchild régime provides for us, as long as we stay quiet.  So we trade freedom for a gilded cage.

But there are rebels who refuse to make that trade, who fight to overthrow a government that silences us, who fight in the name of the disappeared.  They call themselves the Monicans.  I am one of them.

Æon Flux aims to overthrow the state
