Inauguration Day on Nexus Prime. As Senator Neela Kane becomes the Speaker of the Commonwealth, unseen forces are at work: some seek to control the new Speaker, others would see her term end before it has even begun, and some… Some just want to watch the world burn. Yet in times of crisis, help can come from the most unexpected places, and in the galactic capitol, the smallest action can have consequences that no-one could possibly predict. Bodyguard and politician, urchin and delinquent. Policeman and power broker, assassin and AI. Eight lives, one chain. Action and reaction. Cause and effect. Life and death.
