Two Become One - Prologue

The Planet Gopha, the Camellan System.

Rabb shuffled through the archive, wishing he wasn’t there. It was the Festival of Grench, and he was stuck at work. While everyone else was celebrating, he was left to do filing in the largest archive in the system. There was information here going back millennia, covering everything from Imperial constitutions to planning permission forms. The historical importance of the archive was immense, but Rabb hated it. It was just boring old papers, and nobody ever came to visit. It was tedious, but someone had to do it. He just wished it didn’t have to be him.
He was surprise to hear a noise from one of the older parts of the archive, the sound of rollerstacks moving. He made his way over to where the noise was, and stopped. Standing in the rollerstacks was a tall creature, with pale, scaly skin and large black eyes. It was rummaging through a box.
“Excuse me…” Rabb started, but was cut short by a blast from the intruders gun. It turned back to the files, and pulled out a sheet of paper. It showed four planets. He read the names.
