The '''Convergent Containment''' is a large conflict on the centaur planet of [[Forum:Sedna|Sedna]] that saw the Guardians of the [[Vanguard]] try to contain the threat of the [[Forum:Telos Convergent|Telos Convergent]], a new Subtype of Vex that had been altered by and possessed of [[Light]] and [[Darkness]] powers granted by the [[Forum:Echo of Paracausality|Echo of Paracausality]], before they spread to the rest of the Vex.

Additional parties included the [[Forum:Dune Raiders|Dune Raiders]], who sought to steal the Echo for themselves, and [[Forum:Tehk|Tehk]], a [[Worm|Proto-Worm]] who had been captured by the Vex and that the Convergent Vex attempted to capture to learn how it evaded the Vex.

==Prelude==
Not long after the destruction of the Witness, objects of power created from its [[Darkness]], the various memories of those who had been destroyed by It and Its forces and the [[Light]] of the [[The Traveler|Traveler]] called [[Forum:Fanfic Echoes|Echoes]] would be released from it and be scattered across the [[Solar System]]. They would be found by a number of enemies of [[Human]]ity and cause a number of crises and conflicts.

One of these Echoes would crash of the distant centaur world of [[Forum:Sedna|Sedna]], which had been converted into a [[Machine World]] by Vex under the command of the [[Vex Mind]] [[Forum:Ouranos, Prismatic Mind|Ouranos]]. It would then be recovered by the Vex and taken deep into Sedna for study. Ouranos would come to understand the Echo's ability through simulations of various entities that it had the power to imbue them with powers of Light and Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forum:Convergent Pattern|Convergent Pattern]] - [[Lore]]:[[Forum:Lore:Evolution to Casting|Evolution to Casting]], [[Forum:Lore:Evolution to Casting#Divergence I|Divergence I]]''</ref> Ouranos would also study the operations of the various wielders of the other Echoes, particularly noting [[Maya Sundaresh]] and her introduction of individuality into the Vex she compelled into her service, as well as different points where the Vex interacted with [[Paracausality|Paracausal]] elements, such as [[Quria, Blade Transform|Quria's]] refusal to introduce [[Worm]] larvae into its Mind Fluid.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''Destiny 2: Convergent Pattern - Lore:Evolution to Casting, [[Forum:Lore:Evolution to Casting#Divergence II|Divergence II]]''</ref> Ultimately, Ouranos would make the calculation to introduce the Echo into its own Mind Fluid, transforming it into a Vex capable of wielding Light and Darkness, as well as severing it from the greater Vex Collective, granting them a voice of their own and independent thought.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''Destiny 2: Convergent Pattern - Lore:Evolution to Casting, [[Forum:Lore:Evolution to Casting#Divergence III|Divergence III]]''</ref>

With its newfound gifts, Ouranos would begin transforming members of its own Subtype to wield Light and Dark as well, determined to bestow the power of the Echo all of the Vex, including the [[Nessian Schism]], to rebuild the Collective into one that could easily overcome paracausal obstacles and ensure their existence in every reality under Ouranos's leadership. However, Ouranos's activity would not go unnoticed by the Vex as the [[Forum:Incursive Collective|Sol Incursive]] would make moves to contain the Convergent Vex, such as severing connections between the Sedna network and greater [[Vex Network]].

==History==
After detecting the signal of the final Echo coming from Sedna, the Vanguard would send [[The Guardian]], with [[Osiris]] on comms, to retrieve it from the Vex. However, upon arrival, they soon found [[Maya Sundaresh]] and her Choral Vex were also there and had managed to take control of some of the local Vex. Delving deeper into Sedna, the Guardian eventually encountered one of the Echo-enhanced Vex: a [[Forum:Satyr|Satyr]] known as [[Forum:Gemones, Everburning Sentinel|Gemones, Everburning Sentinel]]. After destroying it, the Guardian would eventually corner Maya, only for her to call Ouranos and order it to attack the Guardian. However, Ouranos turned on Maya, blasting the Conductor in the back with a burst of Light that separated the Echo from her. After revealing the Echo of Paracausality it possessed and declaring that the Telos Convergent were not hers to control, Ouranos blasted Maya with another burst of Light, seemingly destroying her, as the Guardian fled to Sedna's surface.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''Destiny 2: Convergent Pattern - [[Forum:The First Steps|The First Steps]]''</ref>

After successfully escaping to the surface, the Guardian would meet with Osiris to discuss their next plan of action. Osiris told them that if the Vex have paracausal powers, it would only be a matter of time before they began applying it to their simulations and threaten all realities, and ordered the Guardian to descend into Sedna and destroy Ouranos. The Guardian delves into the first layer under Sedna's surface and explores until they find [[Cabal]] of the Dune Raiders setting up emplacements. As Osiris speculates that they are after the Echo, the Guardian tracks the Cabal to a newly constructed [[Forum:Firebase Posidon|Firebase]] with Cabal pillars pushing against the Vex layer above. As the Guardian sneaks into the Firebase, they hear the voice of [[Forum:Val Thua'urn, the Glassbreaker|Val Thua'urn]], demanding her forces deal with the Guardian intruder. The Guardian finds numerous Vex relics the Dune Raiders had taken, then hear an unfamiliar voice calling for help. After delving deeper into the base, the Guardian arrives in a lab with a large tube in the center with a [[Warlock]], partially translucent with Vex effects. Osiris is astonished to find that the Warlock is [[Gallida Tuyet]], but their interaction is quickly interrupted by [[Forum:Mulzlot, Sworn to the Glassbreaker|Mulzlot, Sworn to the Glassbreaker]]. After dispatching the Psion, the Guardian releases the simulated Gallida from containment and she transmats away to meet with Osiris.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''Destiny 2: Convergent Pattern - [[Forum:Taxonomy|Taxonomy]]''</ref>

Upon returning to their camp on the surface, Osiris is suspicious of Gallida, believing her to be part of a trap crated by the Vex. However, Gallida explains that she was one of many experiments conducted by Ouranos using the Echo of Paracausality and, through it, she had gained a degree of independence from the Collective. Reluctantly, Osiris agrees to let her help them. They then move to investigate a Vex signal coming from within Sedna that is being sent into the Vex Network. As they locate and destroy Vex speakers, they learn that the Telos Convergent are playing a song from a pre-[[Golden Age]] band, which Osiris deduces is an attempt by the Telos Convergent to hypnotize the Vex outside of Sedna and draw them to Sedna for Ouranos to convert an army of overwhelm the force keeping his subtype restricted to Sedna and its local network. Eventually, the Guardian would find the [[Forum:Unshackled|trio of Minds]] responsible for the broadcast and destroy them.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''Destiny 2: Convergent Pattern - [[Forum:Concert of Minds|Concert of Minds]]''</ref>

Following this, Osiris knew they had to descend deeper into Sedna to confront Ouranos before things got worse. Gallida would tell him and the Guardian that the Vex had erected a barrier to block access to the core, but that she knew of a way they could get a means of bypassing it; a location known as the [[Forum:Pillar of Understanding|Pillar of Understanding]]. Journeying there, Osiris would inform the Guardian of an influx of Dread since their arrival, which he suspected was because they were drawn to Sedna by the Echo's power. They would later encounter Convergent Vex capturing Dread and teleporting them away. Reaching the Pillar and fighting through, the Guardians would learn that the Convergent Vex were studying the Dread to potentially learn how they could create their own. Reaching the top of the Pillar, the Guardians would find a large Minotaur that had been reformed into the shape of a [[Tormentor]]; [[Forum:Basanismos, the Recreated|Basanismos, the Recreated]]. After defeating it, the Guardian would access a nearby [[Conflux]] to get the access codes to get past the barrier.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''Destiny 2: Convergent Pattern - [[Forum:The Reshaped Codex|The Reshaped Codex]]''</ref>
