==Transcript==
{{Verbatim}}

'''[[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]]''': One final egg remains. One hidden within my own court by Taranis… in a secluded chamber of starlight and potential.

'''[[Osiris]]''': The Confluence has aligned, and our goal is in sight. To know all of our efforts are coming to fruition is… exhilarating.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': Is that a smile I hear in your voice, Osiris? You're lucky the Guardian is of few words, lest they ruin your stoic reputation in the Tower.

'''Osiris''': I cannot help but feel alive in this moment… though there is still much to do. It seems possible now.

:::Mission begins

:::The Guardian arrives at Riven's Lair

'''[[Riven]]''': Of course, my final child is held captive in the queen's private wing. How ironic. How… appropriate.

'''Riven''': Just think, if we had continued working together—with respect, with trust, as equals—we could have built so much more than this city.

'''Riven''': We could have been friends.

:::The Guardian opens and enters a portal, taking them to the Crossing

:::The Guardian arrives at and enters a portal, taking them to the Fetid Conduit

'''Osiris''': Do you feel it, Mara? We stand before the end.

'''Osiris''': All that remains is to know whether we are swept away by it, or it breaks against us.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': And to see what consequences our wish has wrought. That is where my mind rests… Let Hope stay my fears.

'''Osiris''': Hope, yes. But also our mettle, our actions. I am confident in our heading, come what may.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': In Crow, in us... As am I.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': We've spent so long holding together the pieces, Osiris. Do you worry what will come after all this?

'''Osiris''': No. I welcome it. I'm tired, Mara. I'm ready for what comes next.

'''Osiris''': It's all right to admit you are too.

:::The Guardian defeats Scorn and activates three plates to open a portal

:::The Guardian enters the portal, taking them to the Astral Cloister

:::Scorn appear

'''Osiris''': Scorn have found their way into your domain. How?

'''Queen Mara Sov''': This place is woven into the Confluence. To expose it for us, was to expose it to the enemies already within our walls.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': And the Scorn have long been within these walls…

'''Osiris''': Then we will remove them.

:::The Guardian defeats hordes of Scorn. Mephitic Hosts appear

:::The Guardian defeats Mephitic Hosts, obtaining the Ephemeral Virus 

:::The Guardian breaks the Plaguewielders shields, and jumps on the Altar to rid themselves of the Virus

:::The Guardian kills the three Plaguewielders

:::A portal opens, the Guardian enters, taking them to Splintered Geode

'''Queen Mara Sov''': Most of these Scorn are mindless husks, raised by the Witness, but others… they bear Fikrul's touch.

'''Osiris''': Has he resurfaced? Crow believes he fled the Shore and remains a fugitive.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': Petra reported activity from Fikrul's Knights on Earth. They sought recruits, along with a dead Ahamkara's power.

'''Osiris''': Knights? Strategy? Their culture deepens. Fikrul means to make a wish, then. For the Witness?

'''Queen Mara Sov''': I think not. Their motivations are both against us, but not aligned. Something else is at play.

:::The Guardian defeats Scorn and activates three plates to open a portal

:::The Guardian enters the portal, taking them to the Caliginous Expanse. There they confront Scorn led by Elikaa, the Pale Rot, attempting to make a wish

:::Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted

'''Queen Mara Sov''': They're attempting to force a wish from the embryo.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': This must not come to pass. A whim, like a venomous hatchling, knows nothing of restraint!

'''Osiris''': Fireteam. Engage the enemy!

::The Guardian defeats Mephitic Hosts, obtaining the Ephemeral Virus

:::The Guardian kills the Well Protector and breaks Elikaa's shield

'''Queen Mara Sov''': Now shatter their totems! End this fool's errand.

:::The Guardian jumps on the Altar to rid themselves of the Virus

:::The Guardian defeats Elikaa

:::The Guardian retrieves Riven's egg

'''Osiris''': Could that have worked? Could the Scorn have brought a wish to fruition like that?

'''Queen Mara Sov''': No. At least… I do not believe it is possible, though I wasn't willing to see them try.

'''Osiris''': This egg was not the first to find itself in your court. Did you intend to breed the Ahamkara again?

'''Queen Mara Sov''': I… intended to maintain a suitable suite of options from which to choose. Nothing more.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': Those plans were made so long ago, Osiris, and the eggs corrupted beyond healing.

'''Queen Mara Sov''': Things are different now. Whether the Ahamkara live on is not mine to choose.

'''Osiris''': To relinquish control is almost as frightening as trust, or hope. Sometimes, that is all we have.

'''Riven''': And in that trust… our pact concludes. I will make your wish.
