To Go Out and Explore
Rodion
Alpha Trion and Nova Prime were making a pilgrimage to every place where each of The Primes had been born, The Thirteenth being the last of them and as they had went and looked at the altar that had been made by the bots there, as Alpha Trion had went and knelt to his brothers place, he had muttered a small prayer to The Guiding Hand when there was some shouting, making the bots look at each other.
Nova Prime had readied his ax and Alpha Trion had started to search, fists raised until they had seen that there was a walking corpse before them and that had made the bots start to approach, the two of them hurrying over and as they had went and did as much, the two of them realized who it was, a laughing Galvatron had coughed out loud towards all of the damage.
“What had happened?” Nova had asked, looking at the warrior and hearing that, the warrior had went and revealed the symbol that was on his chassis, “I got my Titan.” he had said to them, making the bots look at each other, “Where?” Nova had asked and hearing that, they had both gotten a bit excited as he had went and started to follow him towards whatever beast that he had acquired.

Croaton’s Fortress, The Darklands
The three of them had driven up and they were all surprised at the new fortress that was there and as they had seen it, Galvatron had went and transformed, “CROATON!” He had shouted, making the other two transform and as they had done as much, the fortress had went and started to transform before they had eventually found themselves before one of the legendary Titans.
“GREETINGS, COMRADE.” Croaton had said, making them look at each other as they had went and approached him, Croaton going and offering his servo to the trio and as they had done so, the bots had went and went and gotten onto the palm which had went and started to come up which had made the three nervous as Croaton had spoken, “GREETINGS, NOVA PRIME, ALPHA TRION,” he had said.
“GALVATRON HAD TOLD ME OF THE TWO OF YOU, OF HOW YOU WERE COMMANDER OF HIM, I AM HAPPY TO BE OF ASSISTANCE.” The Titan had said and hearing that, the pair of them had went and looked towards the warrior who had went and started to pull out the star map, “With him, we can begin our discovery of the Colonies, make contact now.” he had said.
Hearing that, they were both surprised at the sound of that, “That… that would cut our time table immensely!” Nova had said and hearing that, the three of them had started to think on how they would deal with this, Nova could already imagine the adventures that they would have and how they would be able to expand out there, to eventually see all of the colonies that they had out there.

The Senate Forum, Iacon
“Though the Titan does allow us to journey out amongst the stars now, I believe that we shouldn’t do anything at this time.” Arcee had said out loud and hearing that, there was shouting in agreement at that, Nova and Dei Atlas both surprised by that, the pair of them confused with Galvatron wanting to shoot his twin at the moment as one of the Senators had stood up.
“The Chair recognizes Senator Bronzehorn.” Dei Atlas had said as the bot had nodded, he had turned towards Arcee with curiosity, “Tell me, we now have the ability to not just observe the colonies that we have developed, but we now also have the ability to greet them, how can we not take this advantage?” he had asked of Arcee who had glared towards Bronzehorn.
“Tell me, Senator Bronzehorn, if an advanced species were to come to us when we were nothing but savages attempting to kill each other, telling us that they had created Cybertron, what would you have done?” Arcee had asked, making Bronzehorn blanch in confusion at that with a few others muttering at that, “I… I do not know.” he had said towards him, making Arcee glare, “I know how I would react.” he said.
“I would attack them, I would deny fiercely and would never stop fighting.” Arcee had said towards them, “At this stage, when they are just building their colonies, developing their civilizations, would you risk going to war with our kin?” he had asked of them and hearing that, they had all started to get a bit more worried at that, “Then, what would you suggest?” Nova Prime asked.
They were all looking towards Arcee who had thought, “Allow Croaton to be used as a training facility for Colonial Security, have them train in how to act in space, have them colonize a lifeless planet, Cyclonus should be able to have proper training facility for them.” he had said and as they had heard this, the others had looked, thinking on how the Titan could assist their expansion to the beyond.

Croaton, Cybertron Exosphere
Cyclonus was still surprised by seeing it all, a giant vessel that was in the space, it was a honor and as they had looked around, Galvatron had spoken, “Cyclonus, this is Croaton.” he had told him as the Titan had spoken, “GREETINGS, CYCLONUS.” The Titan had said and hearing that from the area around him and the bot was on guard, “YOU ARE TO LEARN MY SYSTEMS FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD.”
That had made the bot nod at that as they had went and started to go and prepare everything that was there before they had noticed that there was the others who had all went and started to come in, “Hark! Members of The Colonial Security!” he had shouted out and hearing that, they went to attention at the moment as he had grinned, “Croaton here will be your base of operations!” he said.
That had made the bots all nod, not all of them understanding the phrasing as he had went and started to snarl, wanting to tell them everything that they needed to know while Croaton had started to chart out where they would be able to see and they were all starting to get familiar on everything that was a part of the Titan that they would need to learn about for the future.

Croaton, Asteroid Field
Cyclonus had looked at the Asteroid that was there and as they had looked at all that was before them while the builders that they had looked and seen that there was something odd, there was a stone planetoid that was inside there, “Builders.” Cyclonus had said out loud, making them come forward, “How can we utilize this?” he had asked of the bots that were there.
“It is perfect for a depot, and…” the ladder had said as he went and started to scan the levels of the planetoids resources, there is enough energon to start up a mine.” he had said, making Cyclonus nod, “Then let us proceed with the beginning of the colonicing.” he had said and hearing that, the commander look to the ceiling, “Croaton! Begin landing procedures!” he had shouted, a rare occurrence.
“UNDERSTOOD.” The Titan had said as he had went and started to move downwards, “Show me the designs.” he had said and hearing that, the leader of the builders had went and started to show the information that was there, making the leader of Col–Sec curious at that as he had looked over the schematics and nodded, “Alright, as long as it is viable, this should not be an issue.” he had said to them.
The bots had looked at the planetoid as it had went and started to land, making them all grin at the sight before there was a sudden lurch of them making contact with it, “Alright! Let’s move it!” THe Builder had shouted out and as they had heard the sound of that, the bots had all started to march off, heading towards the ground while Cyclonus and his warriors had prepared themselves.
They had went and started to walk, the colonists all looking at the planetoid that was there and it was beautiful, making Cyclonus look towards the star that was lighting up the area, it had made the group all a bit surprised and liking the sight that was before them, the Builders already transforming and starting to construct this colony before they had started to hear a noise.
Turning around, they saw that there was some asteroids that were approaching, and as they did so, the bots saw that they were… they were transforming somehow into some form of rock creature, seeing that, the Colonial Security Officers had all went and started to get everything that was needed to face off as Cyclonus had went and leapt upwards and slashed one, slicing of his servo.
The rock creature had roared in anger towards him, smacking him away with the other servo as they had went and opened fire upon the creature and the others that were being gathered before they had seen that there was more that were coming, “Someone wake up The Titan–!” “NO!” Cyclonus roared, making them all paused, shocked that their leader had shouted at all, the bots looking at him.
“We will not rely upon the Titan!” he had shouted out to them before he had went and started to slash as one of the smaller ones had went and tried to attack a small builder, the action making the creature snarl as it had tried to bite his helm off and as he saw that, Cyclonus saw a glowing gem in the torso, reacting starting to get smaller and then beginning to curl into himself.
Seeing this, the warrior grinned, “The Stones! Pierce The Stones!” he had ordered of them all and hearing that, the others had went to start and attack the stones that were there and as the bots had done as much, the threats had started to diminish until they had seen that there was a new resource that they’d be able to use right now as THe Builder had grinned at the sight.
“Excellent!” he had shouted out before going to break one apart, making the others go and do as much as well, the warrior sighing at the sight before they had went and started to get to work on the formerly living creatures and as they saw this, Cyclonus had vented, going to a rock, he had started to look at his blade and sing a sad tune for what had happened here.

The Darklands
Cyclonus and Galvatron had gotten themselves reacquainted, both of them looking over the data that was there before he had seen the rock creatures, “That is… strange.” he had said, looking it over before he had went and paused, revealing the rock creature that was there, “How is this possible? I thought that we were the only transforming species.” Galvatron had said.
“From what we can gather, they are a migratory species, searching for rich in ore planets.” he had said and hearing that, Galvatron had looked at the ground that was below them, “Rich in ore planets such as ours?” he had asked, making the bot nod at that, “We should be cautious in case they had followed us.” he had said towards The Darklander and hearing that, they vented in unison.
“We should–” “Set up a sensor array?” Galvatron had said and hearing that, the two of them nodded before going to get everything sorted out, making sure that the needed data was uploaded and everything that shouldn’t be was hidden away, “Good then, let’s go ahead and let Nova know.” Cyclonus had said and as they had went and transformed, both of them heading to the Prime in question.

Jhiaxus’ Lab, Iacon
Jhiaxus and Nova had looked at the portal that had been constructed so that they would be able to follow Micronus Prime and enter the strange space that he had constructed, both of them looking at it, “Let us attempt the first activation.” Nova had said and hearing that, the scientist had went and started to prepare everything that was needed for their test.
As they had done as much, the Cybertronians had watched as the portal had went and started to glow and swirl, looking like one of the portals that had appeared before them, “Send the probe, Lord Prime.” Jhiaxus had said and hearing that, the bots had went and grabbed the orb and had went and started to toss it into the portal, as they had went and looked, they checked the sensors.
Looking, the two of them had tried to see if there would be anything, that the probe would be able to send something to them, but as they had looked, there was only a cut off on the sensor before the portal had started to sputter and then it had popped before eventually vanishing, making the bots look before it had went and exploded, making the two of them go to cover themselves.
As they had looked, they saw that the portal had somehow shrunken down and appeared to be imploding which had made them both angry and curious at the sight before Nova had vented, “It looks like we cannot enter The Microspace, not yet at least.” he had said and hearing that, Jhiaxus had nodded at that when they had heard the sound of two pair of pedes there.
Galvatron and Cyclonus had walked in and they had looked concerned, “What’s wrong?” Nova Prime had said towards the two of them, “We have a possible problem.” Cyclonus had said before showing them everything that was there before they had seen everything that was there on the mission and everything that they had seen and as they had watched the footage.
Nova Prime didn’t like anything that he had seen and was getting worried, “This is why we require a sensor array on Luna 2 and on the colony which had been created, and we should be able to set up–” “We can utilize the warning system we were going to use before the Peacekeepers initiatives were designed.” he had said and as they had started to think, “We would just need to increase the yield.” Jhiaxus had said.
Taking a breath, they had started to look at it, “The powers would need to be linked to a generator… we need Dei Atlas and the others for this, maybe even call out the Senate.” the Prime had said and as they had heard that, the bots had all started to get interested in that as Nova Prime had looked at the scenery and knew exactly what he would need to show to convince them.
______________________________________________________________________
Senate Forum, Iacon
The Senators were all shocked at the sight of the rock creatures, “These beings devour natural metals…” he had said and hearing that, they were all a bit more worried at that, murmuring between each other now, “According to the Colonial Security leader, there is a possibility that they may approach Cybertron.” he had said towards them and hearing that, Arcee spoke.
“So what then? We are to go to war with each other?” he had said and hearing that, Nova Prime had went and revealed a new image with some waves all around it, “An early warning system, a sensor array.” he had said and hearing that, the bots were all interested at the image before them, “This would help us in case there was anything that could harm Cybertron, maybe even let us see if The Thirteen will return.
At that, one of the random senators had spoken, he thought that they were from Rodion, “All in favor for the Sensor array to be constructed?” he had asked and they had went and started to raise their servos at that, all of them wishing to keep the invaders out from their doors as Nova had nodded, glad for it as he had given the nod for them to get started on the process.

Sensor Array Site, Luna 2
Nova Prime and the rest of his team had looked at the damage that was there, they had all been a little excited at it for differing reasons, some of them seeing this as a way for them to find those that they had once served, others it was a way to protect themselves against the enemy, and for others it was a way for them to strike upon them and to gather the power that they desired.
“Is it ready?” Nova had asked of Jhiaxus and his fellow scientists who were all grinning and were excited at that as they had went and started to power it up, “We will initiate it in five… four… three… two… one!” the Scientist had shouted with many of them cheering as the they had seen that there was now a map that was appearing on the screens, making them watch.
There was a sweep before the stars and celestial bodies had started to appear, making them all fascinated as Jhiaxus had grinned, “And now for the best part, Lord Prime!” Jhiaxus had shouted out before he had went and hit it, making them all look in curiosity as he had pressed the button and now had transformed the map into a three dimensional form instead now.
“We are now able to detect at least three systems away! And when we set up the colony as well, it’ll go and increase the range! Can you imagine?” he had asked and hearing that, the others had all started to mutter, liking the sound of that as they had seen everything, unlike the Omega Lock, this was instead something that had allowed them to see it all at once instead of through a scope.
“I am happy to see this.” Nova Prime had said, making them all look and smile at that, “And I hope that this will allow us to grow and transform into something much more than before.” he had told them and hearing that, the bots had all cheered at that, wanting to explore further, to create more and learn more about everything that is out there for them to see, and they were all happy to have that.

Nova Prime’s Apartments
Nova Prime had went and walked through, looking at the Star Map, he had kept a version up ever since they had first created it and now, now he was all the happier to see everything that they had discovered now, the celestial bodies and everything that was within their sights, it was incredible and made him wish that he could go out there, in fact… why couldn’t he do that?
So The Prime had went and headed out of his apartments, just as he had opened the door, the leader of their people had seen that there was Galvatron there, about to open the door before he did, “Galvatron! What’re–?” “Would you like to see the stars?” he had asked, apparently had the same thought as Nova Prime had smiled, “Please lead the way.” he had told him.
______________________________________________________________________
Croaton, Cybertronian Space
Nova Prime was on the bridge of Croaton and as they had looked at everything, the screen had showed them and with that, the Prime had looked towards them all, “This… this is incredible.” he had said and Galvatron had laughed at that, “This isn’t even the beginning!” he had shouted out and hearing that, the Prime was even more surprised at that right now.
Nova Prime had went and looked at the controls with the members of Col–Sec and Cyclonus all at their stations, “Are you ready to journey past the stars?” he had asked and hearing that, the Prime had gotten a grin spread across his face plate, “Yes.” he had said, almost as quiet as a whisper as Galvatron he grinned, “Great to hear,” he had said towards the Prime as the warrior opened the star map.
“How about we start up with the first discovery of Cyclonus? Maybe there’re some Rock Lords there that you can attack?” he had asked and hearing that, Nova Prime had nodded, “Are you able to do that?” he had asked of Cyclonus who had nodded at that, “Yes, we are able.” he had told Nova as they had went and started to power up the systems before Galvatron had shouted.
“CROATON!” He had went, making the vessel rumble to life, “WHAT DO YOU DESIRE, MY FRIEND?” The Titan had said, making him grin, “Take us to the second Array!” he had commanded towards him, “ARE YOU SURE? THERE COULD BE MORE OF THE MONSTERS THERE?” He had asked and hearing that, Nova Prime had grinned, “That’s what we’re counting on.” he had said.
“VERY WELL.” He had said, just as excited as them, “THEN LET US BEGIN.” Croaton had said and with that, they could hear the whine as the portal had opened up before them, a beautiful cascade that had made them all stunned at the sight, “Are you ready?” Galvatron had asked, making Nova laugh, “No,” he said, “Bu that has never stopped me before.” he went as they headed into adventure.
