Chapter Text
The Raven and the Wolf
Prologue
Space, through out the stars humanity had spread itself out in an age long since forgotten. Much of humanity’s history lost, its technology outdated and seen better days, its faith in surviving an endless war failing. Such is life within the Imperium of Man; Humanity united for centuries had become steadfast, strong and resilient. However the Imperium was also, in its own faults were paranoid of Xenos, of Traitors and of its own mutated creations.
I write this in the Covenant of Primus that has predicted this outcome many solar cycles ago. However not all of humanity shares these views, an entire sector of human, colonies of a forgotten Terrain Empire. This sector has been blessed with my people’s trust and interest, only they have the archives of their kin’s history. Such knowledge what predates what humanity calls, The Dark Age of Technology. Only these humans are blessed by their own ability of blindly ignoring the rest of the Milky Way’s conflicts.
For centuries untold during after the Dark Age of Technology, and the settling of this mysterious warp storms. We sought the cause of this mysterious force behind it, for we had lost contact with our colonies and many of our kin. These occurrences put strain on tensions long forgotten by many, but not for those whose memory banks are as long as history itself. For ourselves in this time, we were watchers of humanity when it came from Terra, now once again we are its protectors.
Within ourselves and our audio processors, the drums of war have sounded once more. Bringing forth the 4th civil war of our people, and it now threats to spill over into the Milky Way once more. Even as I write the history and archive it for generations to see, it is clear that forces of Good and Evil must fight to have balance. Many of my fellow Elders agree that this is a conflict we will not join. My former Apprentice Orion Pax once again must walk down the path of justice to preserve our safety.
It is time for us to retreat back into the deepest reaches of Cybertron. As the heroic Autobots race across the stars to safeguard our colonies. The Imperium of Man has a role to play in this, but will they meet their lost kin or face the Decepticons first. The cards have been laid out, the pieces are in place and may the word of Primus preserve our sparks…
