Transcript[edit]

Mission begins

  • Alana Reyn - Alright, let's get this operation going. First off, we're going to need a Vex Core for this site to scan. It'll sift through the data far better than I could and give us a good read on the situation in the Sink.
  • Ghost - A Vex Core? That should be easy to find!
  • Alana Reyn - Oh, Light no. Not just any Vex Core. The Vex aren't going to trust a standard Goblin with the data we need. We need the core of an Axis Mind.
  • Ghost - Oh. Well, that won't be easy to find.
  • Alana Reyn - Fortunately, I'm pinging a sizable Vex signature on the cliffs. Should have the authorization we need.
  • Ghost - Talk about convenient. Let's get it, Guardian.

The Guardian reaches the Ishtar Cliffs and encounters a large contingent of Vex. They eliminate them wave by wave and finally encounter an Ultra Cyclops, Palios, Corrective Sentinel

  • Ghost - There the Vex Mind! Let's take it down!

The Guardian destroys Palios and claims its Mind Core

  • Ghost - Whoa. I'm sensing a lot of data still being processed in this thing.
  • Alana Reyn - Perfect! Means we got a prime specimen for research at the site. Let's get there, before all of it defrags.

The Guardian progresses further down the coast towards the Waking Ruins

  • Ghost - Incredible. To think that these machines aren't as lifeless as they seem. To think organisms like these could be capable of turning worlds into machines and even experiment with time.
  • Alana Reyn - That's what makes them dangerous. Let them be, and they can overtake even the Hive. And the last thing we need is another world lost. Which is why I, for one, am glad the Vanguard finally is taking this threat seriously.

The Guardian reaches the Waking Ruins

  • Alana Reyn - You're passing the Vault of Glass, Guardian. A place older than humanity itself and home of the Vex's most safeguarded experiments. It's also zealously protected by the Collective. So, don't stick around long, will you?

The Guardian reached a cave on the other side of the area and enters Campus 9. They progress further and a Darkness Zone falls.

  • Ghost - Looks like the Fallen have set up shop here.
  • Alana Reyn - Typical. Get them out of there.

The Guardian eliminates the Fallen crew one by one before Skiffs arrive and begin offloading reinforcements. After a few waves, the Guardian is assailed by a Dusk Pilferer Captain and the Captain's Guard Servitor. The Guardian eliminates the attackers and the Darkness Zone falls.

  • Ghost - Whew! I think we drove them off.
  • Alana Reyn - Good! Now, let's start digging into the Vex Core, before it starts to atrophy.

The Guardian lets their Ghost interface with the terminal inside. Another Darkness Zone falls.

  • Vex Core - [Distressed Vex Sounds]
  • Alana Reyn - Huh. I expected that sooner. The Core's trying to get help. Dig in and keep them away!

Waves of Vex begin to spawn around the Campus and begin marching on the Ghost. The Guardian defends the Ghost, staying in proximity to him as he works through the core.

If a Vex unit reaches the Campus

  • Ghost - They're disrupting the connection! Guardian, get them out of here!

20% Completion is reached

  • Ghost - I'm getting a lot of noise here. A lot of disorganized information on "Hezen" and "Aphix".
  • Alana Reyn - Damn. Must be atrophying now. Forward me some of that information. I'll try to help you.

33% is reached. A series of Oracles spawn around the and progress is halted.

  • Ghost - [pained sound] Something is creating a lot of noise! It hurts if I try to keep reading into it.
  • Alana Reyn - The Vex must have brought in some Oracles then. They won't be far, and neither should their caretakers. Break them, and you should be good.

The Guardian destroys the Oracles and brings Ghost back to the terminal. Harpies and Elites start to join the fray 50% is reached.

  • Ghost - I'm getting a lot of queries from a lot of signals from all over the place.
  • Alana Reyn - I think I may have something. It's encrypted, but a bit more interrogation might get me what I need.

67% is reached. Another group of Oracles are spawned in and progress is halted.

  • Ghost - Ugh. It's happening again. More Oracles, Guardian. Take them out.

The Oracles are destroyed and Ghost is returned to the terminal. Major Minotaurs join in and an Ultra Hydra, Eleftherotis, Unshackled Mind arrives to destroy the assailants. 80% is reached.

  • Ghost - I've got a lot of headers here. Some data on a Nexus, some on the Vault. Even some file on a missing… Forest? Anything on your end Alana?
  • Alana Reyn - Nothing solid so far. But I don't like what I've got now either. Keep the heat on them Guardian! We're almost done here.

100% is reached

  • Ghost - I think we have everything we need. Let's clear everything out.

The Vex are destroyed and the Darkness Zone falls

  • Ghost - Nicely done, Guardian. Now, I had no luck on my end, how about you, Alana?
  • Alana Reyn - It's exactly as I suspected. The Vex have established a new Vex Mind as the master of the Nexus.
  • Ghost - The Nexus? Like what I combed through. What does that mean?
  • Alana Reyn - It means we only have weeks before they fully convert this world beyond repair, no matter what we do to counter it. I didn't think that they could have it fully repaired in such a short time. The only way we can stop this now is destroying the Mind controlling the Nexus. Meet back with me as soon as you can. We have to put a stop to this.
