Story Overview[]
Humans wait on the Cepheus Ring over Acheron for Anicetus to complete the terraforming process. Unfortunately, the current atmosphere above Acheron is too thick; the humans haven't received any signal from Anicetus since it landed on Acheron. Vanguards are being sent to the surface to see if the terraforming process is working or if Anicetus was destroyed on impact. With them go the hopes and dreams of the surviving humans aboard the Cepheus Ring.

[Sounds of person entering cockpit] - Ignition... clear for take-off The burning empires of our past Pray to the winds Memories made of a cindered ash Never forgetting the reason Never forgiving the past Never believing in freedom This great storm will build a throne These first Vanguards will lead us home Vanguards lead us home Vanguards lead us home In earth's final breath We sailed the blackened sea Upon the wings of our god machine This great storm will build a throne These first Vanguards will lead us home Born to flee Never forgetting the reason Never forgiving the past Never believing in freedom Vanguards lead us home Vanguards lead us home [Radio chatter] - ... stabilizing, stand by - Copy - Standing by - Monitor route - Copy that - Position and hold - Advise and clear off access - Initializing descent... going dark - Here we go - Contact ground Tear the horizon We bring the gift of life At any moment We will breathe the air of our new world Those born above the clouds Prepare yourself for solid ground The air of our new world Here we stand in the space between A dream and reality This great storm will build a throne These first Vanguards will lead us home Born to flee Never forgetting the reason Never forgiving the past Never believing in freedom Godspeed
