Transcript[edit]
Mission begins
- Shaw Han - I hate to repeat myself, but this just doesn't sit right with me. This feels like a trap.
- Ghost - Yeah, but trap or not, these... energies... they are undeniable. The Fallen are doing something again. And if it's not us that's going to stop them, who else will?
- Shaw Han - Right. Just feel like stating the obvious. Get in there, but do so carefully. I'll try to monitor that frequency again.
The Guardian enters the Refinery and encounters scattered Fallen forces within, as well as emplaced Security Turrets.
- Ghosts - They have defenses up, but, it doesn't look like they were expecting us. Could still be a trap...
- Shaw Han - Or not... Hold on, I just got another transmission. Give me a second to translate.
The Guardian continues deeper into the Refinery, carving through the Fallen forces within, finally reaching the security grid room, with most Fallen defenders gathered around the entrance to the Grottos.
- Ghost - Looks like we found what they were defending.
- Shaw Han - Hive catacombs? What are they planning? (...) Translation complete. ...uh.
- Ghost - Shaw?
- Shaw Han - 'They are insane! He's killing us! Help me!'
- Ghost - What?
- Shaw Han - This... isn't right. This may not be a trap, but something far worse. Get in there, Guardian!
The Guardian eliminates the Fallen guards and attempts to access the barrier. A Darkness Zone falls, as Fallen forces encroach on them to prevent them from accessing the Grottos. After repelling the House of Dusk, the barrier fades and the Guardian descends into the Grottos, noticing both Hive chitin and Fallen bodies scattered across the floor.
- Ghost - That's a lot of dead bodies. All... all of them were killed by a Shrapnel Launcher.
- Shaw Han - What? Even the Fallen?
- Ghost - Even the Fallen.
- Shaw Han - This was no trap. Our Fallen friend truly was in danger. See if you can find him.
The Guardian finally reaches the central cave system of the Grottos, coming across a few Fallen kneeling before a proud Byris, Bio-Splicer
- Ghost - Those Fallen...
- Shaw Han - They must be the ones behind the killings!
- Ghost - Let's take them down.
The Guardian battles the Fallen and Byris. The Guardian dodges and weaves the Dreg's attacks, while bringing him down health by health. Overtime, Hive runes will alter the battlefield while fighting the Fallen warrior. Once the Dreg is brought down to a third of his health, he will become immune and howl at his attacker. Following this howl of rage, all runes across the room will pulse, causing the Dreg to flinch and quiver with each pulse until soulfire grips him and lifts him into the air.
- Ghost - What? What's happening?
Byris will howl in pain as he agonizingly grows, his Hive trophies meld to him and soulfire pervades his being. Byris will shriek with an additional layer of Hive shrieks at the peak of his transformation and call forth Hive reinforcements.
- Ghost - That Fallen was... Hive, incoming!
The Guardian faces off against the Hive forces now pouring into the Grottos, answering the possessed and transformed Dreg's call. The Guardian cuts down wave after wave of Hive reinforcements before eliminating Velrok, Tongue of the Coven.
- Ghost - What... what just happened?
- Shaw Han - Those fools. They were trying to command Hive magic. If they couldn't have Rasputin or Ashurbanipal, then they would take the power from the Hive instead!
- Ghost - The logic of the sword? That would mean all this death... Where is the Fallen that brought us here?
The Guardian looks around the room for a Fallen body containing the connection to the Guardian. The Guardian ducks into an alcove and discovers a lone Dreg slumped against the wall, the feedback on comms getting slightly louder.
- Ghost - That Dreg against the wall. That was our informant. She... she died afraid, scared for her life.
- Shaw Han - Under other circumstances, she might have wanted to kill you. For all we know, she was our enemy. But... to die like this. So cruelly and pointlessly.
- Ghost - This... isn't right. The Fallen didn't get what they wanted out of this. Most of them are dead! For what?
- Shaw Han - So the Hive have an edge... The Hive possessed that Fallen for a reason. They are planning something!
- Ghost - And we have to be the ones to stop it. For the Fallen, I suppose.
- Shaw Han - Better the devil we know. Find that Dreg and the Hive trying to use him and destroy them!
