The Echo of Command is one of several paracausal artifacts known as Echoes that were released from within the Traveler following the destruction of the Witness. It was created specifically from the memories of Warden Te'Qal, the last commander of the Qugu's Seht Armada who died in their final stand against the Hive and the Black Fleet.[1] It grants its user the ability to command and compel other beings, bending them to its will,[2] through Yokes and Yokes of Control by Osiris and Saint-14 respectively.[3][4]
It was in the possession of the original version of Maya Sundaresh, whose consciousness survived her death on Neomuna within the Vex Network by using the Darkness of the Veil. She used the Echo to construct an Exo body she crafted by using its ability to compel the local Vex. Styling herself as "the Conductor," Maya used the Echo to introduce individuality to the Vex and bring them under her control, creating a new collective known as the Nessian Schism.[5]
Description[edit]
The Echo appears to be a collar-like device with a horseshoe-like shape, with an extension seemingly infused with Prismatic energy. Its interior surface is studded with apertures which appear to emit beams capable of synthesizing matter; the introductory cutscene to Act II of Echoes depicts the Echo constructing the Conductor's Exo body out of thin air.[2]
History[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.
Upon first being used by Maya Sundaresh, the Echo shapes itself into the form of a "mantle" which Maya places around her neck.[6]
Eventually, Maya would accept that her time as the Conductor was nearing its end and that she would never find the Chioma she wanted. As the Echo's power continued to wain, Maya would use it one last time on herself to command herself to let Chioma go, causing it to disintegrate.[7] Not knowing it was gone, Dredgen Bael would speak with Savathûn, the Witch Queen and tells her that VI would allow her to take the Echo if she killed Maya and tithed her death to it.[8]
