Mankind as it is now, the Homo-Sapiens, have been around for quarter of a million years... Yet, in all that time, less than a quarter has had any notable significance. 

And what were we doing in all that time? Hiding in small groups, frightened of the dark. Scared of what was difficult or impossible to explain. Our reaction was to create religions, spiritual beliefs, and folktales to explain what could not be explained.

Only, there was reason to be afraid... Creatures, phenomenon... Demons, Angels, Gods... Monsters.

Humanity begged and pleaded to be saved by the "Gods", to be protected by the "Angels", or to form deals with the "Demons". In time, this would come to change. Their numbers would continue to dwindle as humans began to resist, and as they dwindled, we rose.

Humanity can never go back to what it once was. There is nothing left to protect us... We must do so ourselves. We must not return to hiding from what we do not understand.

This is where we make our presence known. Humanity may continue to live and prosper in the light, and we will remain in the dark as its steadfast guardians. The jailers to contain what is not understood, the scientists to understand, and the shields to block it from the eyes of the world, so that humanity may thrive in a prosperous, and mundane world.

This is our- my, mission.

We will Secure. We will Contain. We will Protect.
