“Who are you?” Epsilon asked, not lowering his weapon.
Zepar pondered on what he had seen and heard…Solus’s admonishing words to Megatronus sounding uncomfortably familiar; it was very similar to what Bludgeon’s plans for the Lock were.

The sun was beginning to set over the horizon, staining the water and the sky around it orange and throwing a few last rays of light cross the twin islands the spaceport connected. Below the ancient machines, life in the pilgrim’s village continued much as it had for the past 7,000 years.
