Excerpt: Akita Amori - Glorious Discovery

Year 1669 PC
In an unknown amount of centuries ago, machines were created to battle the scourge that ran across Marn. They enhanced humans beyond anything they had ever seen. Watchers were yet to ever intervene in the lives of humans. 

Akita Amori, a young man from Yatan works the fields to grow food for his village. While planting seed, his tool clinks against something in the dirt. He slams the tool down again to hear the clink. This time he drops to his knees to move aside some dirt to see what he hit. He unburies the chest of a Gemini. The chest is foreign and the design is intriguing. 

An hour later, Akita has brought the suit into his barn. It is still covered in packed dirt, but he uncovers a small inscription on the shoulder. It reads “Tenno.” 

“What?” Before even finishing the word, the armor glows along the seams with blue energy and its mechanical structure comes apart and forcefully covers his body. 

Akita looks down to his hands, now armored by the suit. He stretches his fingers in shock. He then begins to walk forward while looking down to his legs and laughing. After a short while, the mechanical armor extends a helmet around his face and he gasps for air. He quickly realises he is not suffocating. 

Days later, he still uses the suit and it’s enhanced features to help him around the farm. He is now faster and stronger than he ever was. 

The uncovered power of the Gemini, however, attracted some unwanted attention. The Apex, an ancient race that are alike humans, sought him out and invaded his home to take the suit. He was able to fight off the first squadron and flee his home.

This is the day the Gemini’s were uncovered. This is the day ancient technology was uncovered. This was the day, that a man found out his true origins.
