'''{Mission begins}'''

'''[[Anastasia Bray|Ana Bray]]''': Tch. [[Nessian Schism|Choral Vex]], more of [[Maya Sundaresh|Maya]]'s goons. They’re taking salvaged [[Forces of the City|FOTC]] tech. 

'''[[Saint-14]]''': Worse. They're already in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]]. Only night watch available to respond. 

'''[[Ikora Rey|Ikora]]''': I'm afraid that's correct. Maya's tactics are evolving. I'm in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]] now, investigating a lead that might explain things. But I'll need you to defend the Tower while I get some answers.

::[[The Guardian]] investigates the [[Vex]] incursion.

'''Ana Bray''': Those Vex are tossing our caches onto multiple transmat routes out of the [[Last City|City]]. 

'''Saint-14''': [[Golden Age]] salvage? 

::The Guardian destroys the Vex nodes. 

'''Ana Bray''': With [[Rasputin]] gone, scout teams have been searching for artifacts to reinforce City defenses. I've been collecting [[Warmind]] hardware, pointing it at gaps in our security. We should've been able to see this coming… 

::The Guardian finds their way to the [[Hangar (Destiny 2)|Hangar]]. 

'''Ana Bray''': They completely blind-sided us. [[Warsat]] surveillance is gone, but how did they get this far without an alert? 

::The Guardian enters the Hangar.

'''Saint-14''': It's a swarm unit. Make every shot count, my friend. 

::The Guardian destroys the Vex nodes in the Hangar.

'''Ana Bray''': I doubt this is over. I checked the caches, the Vex were stealing Warmind tech from us. 

::The Guardian returns to the [[Courtyard]] as a group of [[Cabal]] arrive. 

'''Ana Bray''': This unit has a callsign dating back to the [[Red War]] — [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]]'s elite. They were here the day the [[Tower]] fell. 

'''Saint-14''': They are wearing devices… The Yoke of [[Echo of Command|Control]]! Maya Sundaresh, the Conductor, controls this [[Red Legion|Legion]]! 

'''Ana Bray''': That’s impossible… Something isn't right.

::The Guardian defeats the Red Legion soldiers.

'''Saint-14''': Vex working in coordination with the Red Legion. Maya:s influence grows with the day. 

'''Ana Bray''': She has access to the entire [[Vex Network|Vex network]]. She must have found another timeline where the Red Legion are still around and yanked them into ours. 

::The Guardian destroys [[Kleftis, Archeodaemon]].

'''Ikora''': Good work. I knew the City could count on you. 

'''Ana Bray''': This was just a smash and grab… what is Maya looking for?

'''Saint-14''': They want what the Conductor has always wanted — to usher a new Golden Age of her own design. Now with the Legion and the Vex. I am no friend of the Red Legion, though I pity them to come under Maya's thrall.
