This story has been translated from Cybertronian to English for human consumption. For all intents and purposes I (the translator) have also made many things relating to time easier to understand.
...
About one million years after abandoning Cybertron, Acentia found herself crashing on a strange planet full of organic life forms. According to human records, the time she landed in was known as the Ice Age and the beginning of human life. She watched passively for about 15,000 years before she began integrating herself and made an elaborate disguise, forming a low profile living style, which she surprisingly enjoyed. The renaissance was her own personal favorite time period. Full of life, art, beautiful architecture. Her least favorite was the age of industry and war. She had no place for war, no place in violence. She had fled Cybertron for this very reason. However, she hadn't enough energy to escape Earth so, she fled into the mountains, where she abandoned her human form in favor of her cybertronian form which was easier to maintain. She had grown weak after the many years she spent hiding. She fell into stasis for a few hundred years, completely missing the time when an autobot named Optimus Prime and his team was on earth, and had fought for the human race. She woke up in the 23rd century. She was even weaker than before and tried to send out a signal to Orion. She set it on loop before she fell back into stasis. The next thing she knew, she was being reawoken in some sort of laboratory surrounded by humans, military. Some group called N.E.S.T.
Recognizing she was unable to speak, the men asked simple yes and no questions and when they asked why she was here, she only had the strength to say "Crashed, Ice Age, energon low." One of the men asked if she was Autobot or Decepticon and all she could manage in response was a shake of her head. The men left and Acentia was alone with her thoughts for a few hours before the men came back with some energon they said Optimus had left behind. She managed a nod. She had no idea who Optimus was but she was grateful. Acentia was left to recharge for a few days before the men came back.
"Now, we are N.E.S.T. We fought alongside the Autobots in a time of great need. Not us personally, but we stand by in case the Decepticons ever return. We have a few questions for you. First one is; who are you? Second one is; are you Autobot or Decepticon?"
"My name is Acentia and to answer your second question, I never chose sides. I fled Cybertron before the war, renouncing my role as prime. I wanted no part in the war that would kill so many. I must ask, who is this Optimus Prime you speak of?" The men looked at each other, unsure of how to answer. When they could not come up with a simple answer, they decided to show her his files.
"Back in the day, Optimus Prime was the leader of the Autobots. He fought the Decepticons and protected our planet and in turn, we took care of him and his team, gave him what protection we could. He was honorable, courageous. We owe him our planet for the amount of times he sacrificed his life to save ours." The man continued to give her what information they had on Optimus and some of his crew, including Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz, and Sideswipe. The more they described Optimus, the more she was reminded of Orion. After all, she had always sensed that he was a Prime in his spark.
"Did he ever refer to himself as Orion Pax by any chance?" Acentia asked. The men shook their heads.
"No ma'am I don't think so. May I ask why?"
"Oh, no reason. I was merely curious. You see, I left far before this, Optimus Prime took leadership. The leader I appointed was named Sentinel and.."
"Sorry to interrupt you ma'am, but did you say Sentinel?" One of the men interrupted.
"Yes," Acentia responded. One of the men brought up Sentinal Prime's files.
"Sentinel Prime betrayed Optimus and the Autobots. He joined forces with Megatron, I think, to save Cybertron from the war. Optimus stated that Sentinel thought it best for Cybertron, though, it was an ill advised attempt and made without the advice of The Council." At this Acentia just shook her head.
"He never learned." She said as she stood up. "I need to leave. I am grateful for your help but I would like to continue my search for Orion." The men nodded hesitantly and showed her the way out. She sent out a stronger distress signal to Orion and waited. It was a few days before she heard an answer back, but she had received a transmission back stating that Optimus was making his way towards Earth. However, this transmission was also received by Soundwave and unfortunately, Soundwave passed this information to Galvatron.
