*'''Narrator''': What is the sum of human curiosity, but a yearning to venture into the unknown? To uncover some forbidden secret in the hopes that it will lead to something greater? For hundreds of years, humans had looked up into the sky, peering out at the stars, wondering what lay beyond. As technology progressed, these dreams of exploration grew ever closer. Great ships were built to take us into the stars, to carry us into the deep. We turned our sights to the dead worlds that lay before us. The promises of a new empire, a new age. Colonization efforts were undertaken on Mars and centuries passed as humanity terraformed its barren deserts. But buried within the red sands, lie the dormant husks of ancient machines called Praetorians.
