In 1501...
1 month ago before episode 2.
...
In Cybertown, at the intersection, you can see a large house, and it has two floors.
Nova Prime opened the house because it was his home.
He moved with his wheelchair and entered.
Doing all the activities alone there.
Like cleaning the house, fortunately he uses a smart machine that can clean the house, and also many household appliances that can work automatically with one press of a button.
The house is not too grand, everything looks simple.
After checking the equipment, he turned it off and took the elevator to the second floor of his house.
"Okay... here it is..."
Nova's face looked gloomy.
He then slowly tried to stand up from his wheelchair.
"Huh..."
He took one step, even though his breath was ragged.
Bukk!!
Finally Nova fell, her legs shaking violently, and the pain was excruciating.
His legs are deformed and will never heal, even if they are replaced with synthetic ones, his legs still ache every time he steps.
Nova then sat down, rubbing her incredibly sore feet. Every time she applied pressure to her feet, the pain began to set in. No matter which foot she used, the result was the same.
Nova lay on the floor.
"Mr. Nova, you're pushing yourself too hard. You can't walk anymore," said the computer AI in the room.
"Yes..., this is what it feels like to be a normal Cybertronian, Joy," said Nova.
"Hmph... that's why you should kill the Taken, that way you won't have to worry and can just enjoy your time as a Cybertronian comfortably," said Joy Ai.
"You keep teasing me. Just because your reasoning program is good," said Nova.
"You've disappointed everyone, sir. Including me," said Joy Ai.
Nova sighed.
"I need your help to find Sentinel. He hasn't been seen for a few days," said Nova.
Joy Ai then responded, "Okay, let's start finding your Boyfriend."
"Oh my gosh, you keep saying boyfriend, he's just my best friend, sooner or later I'll shut down your server!" said Nova Prime.
"Yes-yes, up to you."
"I couldn't find any internet access history from Sentinel. There were no transactions or social media traces at all. But I did find one: Sentinel was in Voltase City. He was last seen about two days ago. He was in Voltase."
"Huh?... Voltage?".
Nova then sat down, remembering something while staring at the sheets and threads that were stuck to the wall.
"Coincidentally, it's been a long time since I last visited there. I've heard complaints online," Nova said.
Photo after photo and notes attached to the wall.
"I don't want to play with gadgets and I'm not active on social media. I don't have much information."
"Now it's clear there's a problem there. I suspect they're manipulating the data I received to make it look like everything's fine."
"I will visit there, invitation request."
Nova has two missions while in Voltage: 1. Investigate the government, 2. Search for the Sentinels.
Joy Ai then said,
"Why not set a price and a bounty. That would make it easier."
"Sorry Joy, but this is very complicated."
"This is just a matter between two men, I don't want anyone else to interfere, because this is my responsibility and duty."
Nova was seen reaching for some items. However, Joy Ai, who was holding the room controls, helped her reach them more easily.
"You are so naive."
"That's normal Joy, if you were me you would still do this. We are not the planners, but the result of disaster."
"So logically, you're saying I exist because of the disaster too?" asked Joy Ai.
"Of course, you exist because of the disaster that made me need you," said Nova Prime.
Nova grabbed her wheelchair back, got in, sat there.
"I have to fulfill my responsibility. Even if it kills me," Nova said.
"I'm worried about your stubbornness, Mr. Nova Prime," said Joy Ai.
"Thank you for your compassion, Joy. Even though you're just a program, I always thought you were a Cybertronian, but I also sometimes think that, the result is still the same. In the end, one day we will go back to living our own lives."
"No matter how bad this world is, I still live it. Believe me, the best world is already within you."
Gazing at the night sky in the shimmering aurora. Accompanied by the stars scattered across the sky. Crossing the hills with her, this is how life feels both bitter and sweet.
'Sentinel... this is my fault. A mistake that can never be undone. I've been too immersed in life as a Cybertronian, as a result of our desires. But here we are, struggling with our decisions.'
Nova closed her eyes, imagining past memories that were too beautiful to forget.
Happiness, jokes, and banter—all the feelings were palpable when everyone was still alive. Nova's only remaining best friend was Sentinel.
'Happiness is just a thing of the past. But what keeps burning me, is to look for you, Sentinel.'
Nova continued to roll her wheelchair slowly down the hill. To find someone important to her. A friend who was the only one left.

...
A magnificent place, like a palace inside. Full of orange lights. Fancy and extraordinary architecture.
In the dining room, a long table was already served with hundreds of kinds of food on it.
A man who looked like a king sat at the head of a table in a golden chair. But his hand seemed restless, caressing the other's hand.
Nova Prime sat at a random end of the dining table. This king-like figure struggled to devour the food before him, though his eyes were trembling and drooping.
Nova didn't chew or reach for the food. Her hands were clasped in her lap, her expression sad and full of disappointment.
"This is not a parliament building, or an organization. This is a palace," said Nova.
The food that the king swallowed immediately felt tough.
"This is so amazing. Even though I visited yesterday, it wasn't like this."
Nova tapped her fingers on the table, looking around.
The king's hand holding the fork trembled even more.
"Excuse me, I heard Mr. Nova Prime's voice. Are you really there?"
A woman stepped into the dining room, groping with a cane in her hand, which tapped the floor. Her face was beautiful, but her eyes were almost white, apparently she couldn't see (she was blind).
The woman approached Nova. Slowly, her hand reached for Nova's arm. Nova immediately caught the woman's hand.
"Yes, it's me Nova Prime."
"Wow, you came suddenly. I didn't even hear from the guard who gave me the information," said the woman.
The blind woman then continued to ask, "Is there an urgent matter that made you come here suddenly?"
Nova then glared sharply at the king-like man, causing him to lower his head and not dare look back.
Nova then stood up, grabbed a chair and asked the woman in front of her to sit down.
"Please sit down, Moona." The woman's name turned out to be Moona.
"Ah, thank you. I was surprised to see you at the dining table. Are you hungry?" Moona asked.
Moona was very clear, she was only looking forward because she was completely blind.
Nova then said, "No, I came to meet Atlas Prime. Sorry for coming suddenly, I just happened to be passing by here."
"Excuse me. I have to go see Nexus." Moona then slowly left the dining room.
Nova then got up from the dining table...
CRASH!!!
The plate was then thrown at Atlas Prime's face.
Black lines covered Nova's face, and her eyes were darkened.
Atlas Prime was shaking violently, his heart beating fast, like a hinge machine at full power.
"Bastard..."
Nova's breath was ragged, holding back the explosion inside her that was continuing to boil.
"It won't take long to decide. You're not a Cybertronian, you don't even have a heart like Prime. I don't care if this is your personal matter or not. You're such a bastard, just because she's blind, you're cheating on her with someone else, making out in front of her."
Nova then kicked the chair she had been sitting on backwards in a fit of rage. The steel chair immediately became lodged in the wall. The force of her kick caused the chair to buckle inward, nearly turning into a ball.
"You already know, any Prime who has been chosen to lead, any Prime from any nation can do this to you, recommend your dismissal and dismissal. And who will decide? Of course the Matrix and the Allspark. Of course the god Primus himself."
"Your punishment doesn't need to be negotiated, Atlas Prime."
"The day after tomorrow..."
"Everyone involved with you will be judged based on the mandate of Primus."
"As for you..."
...
"ONE: I don't want this palace to still stand here, everything must be torn down. The parliament building must be built with a view of the Laras country."
" TWO: My visit last month, what was that? Could it be a hologram projection? You bastard, you faked my visit, deceived investors, and shut down the media that reported the facts.
...
"THREE: The death penalty... I will execute him, transparently, in front of millions of citizens, in front of this very building."
"Only your child and your perfect wife are free from the sentence. But I am not generous. I will not give any of my possessions to any of the remaining members of the sentenced family.
"The entire amount of your losses must be paid from the confiscated findings. The remainder..."
"... ... ..."
...
...
Nova closed her eyes, her tears flowing, falling to the floor.
"Those who are free from the sentence, those involved in consuming it must pay for it. But I will not be that cruel."
"I'm opening up a space for the public to discuss whether they agree to pardon Moona and her child, through donations. The public will take care of that. The rest... is up to me."
"Don't even think you'll get away with it this time."
"I am everywhere."
"Wherever you go. I'll be there."
Nova then walked away, leaving Atlas Prime utterly devastated. Sitting on the dining table, his hands, feet, and eyes trembled, and he couldn't move with every word Nova Prime spoke. For the first time, Nova was angry.
Atlas once thought. °Nova is a naive person, and Nova will definitely not judge so easily.°
But it seems that won't be the case this time. °He never gets angry, he's always innocent. He's a pure leader.°
[...
Primus's choice is never wrong...
It's already been decided what he'll be like.
A ready leader,
Taking risks,
Responsible,
Despite his shortcomings, he can still be lied to. But he will continue to find out.
And...
Every decision...
Accurate...
Hard to say about
...]

"Mr. Atlas, why is there so much cheering out there? They're shouting all sorts of rude things and sounding angry. Is something bad happening?" Moona asked. She came in, her face looking worried.
"Atlas, we're in trouble. We've been discovered!!" A man then came in a panic to see Atlas who was still sitting at the dining area.
"Babe, this is bad. We have to run, we have to save ourselves!" A woman came to Atlas in a panic.
Atlas remained silent, their gazes frozen and their voices unnoticed.
"Mr. Atlas, what... what do you mean by being found out? Do you have a secret?... Why are the citizens going berserk?" Moona wondered.
Woosh
The second woman pushed Moona, causing Moona to fall to the floor.
"Who pushed... who are you?" asked Moona.
"You bastard, you blind person. Why do blind people like you always get pity from people? Why, BASTARD?!!!"
"MARLINE!...." Atlas shouted, accompanied by the man nearby, "Sis MARLINE!!" he shouted.
Atlas then stood up, immediately reaching for Moona and helping her up.
"Who, Marline? Who is the woman in front of me, Atlas?" asked Moona.
The man who appeared to be Marline's younger brother immediately pulled his hand away.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!!"
"Oh, so now you're defending that woman too?!!" Marline snapped.
"Calm down, bro. We have to find a way out quickly, not fight."
"Okay, whatever you want," said Marline.
....
Atlas then hugged Moona. "It's okay, Moona, really." Atlas hugged her tightly, with all his heart. This made Marline even angrier.
His gaze sharpened, his eyes trembling in a shaking rage.
He then clenched his hands tightly into fists.

Outside, in the demonstration and crowds filled with thousands of people, reporters surrounded Nova Prime, all eager to interview her and make numerous statements.
"Mr. Nova Prime, how did you decide on such a severe punishment?"
"Mr. Nova Prime, have you set any new rules?"
"Mr. Nova Prime, have you seen the drastic decline in this country's economy?"
Nova stood straight and composed. But her expression betrayed no lies. Her eyes remained narrowed, as if fear were etched into her face. She didn't answer the reporter's question at all.
BOOM!! BOOM!!
.......
Gunshots were heard.
Residents who were demonstrating near the palace immediately retreated.
Nova immediately turned around, she immediately ran inside.
...
...
"MOONA!!"
"STOP SISTER!!!"
...
As soon as you enter the dining room. Nova found out. Blood was scattered on the dining table.
'Double shot.' Nova Prime muttered.
A man was seen standing, his hands transformed into weapons. His hands were trembling, and he took a few steps back. He looked shocked.
In front of her, Marline was lying under the dining table, blood flowing profusely from her body and pooling on the floor.
All that could be heard was Atlas's cries. He tightly hugged his wife, Moona. Her body was covered in blood. But Moona remained motionless in Atlas's embrace.
"What the hell is going on?" Nova said.
