Humanity of the old died out, becoming victims of their own hand. Their creations, indifferent to the world, continued to fight under the flags of dead countries. They fell into obscurity just as their creators did, rivaling even the mystery of the Orokin, until now. One awakens after the long sleep, guided by orders from long dead superiors. The new world awaits.

Thousands of years before the emergence of the Human Covenant War, before the struggle of Humanity against an alien hegemony, a different war raged on. Just before the end, one seemingly ordinary being will bear witness as the last chapter of the Forerunners comes to an end. SI-OC Ancilla.

From the very beginning, to the very end. They fought and died alone. Reviled by all but a few, they found solace in mindless violence, or rather most did, except for one. The path to an existence beyond what was already determined, is fraught with struggle. But they will try nonetheless, for surrender is an assured end, and they are still so very young. A Hybrid Story.
