'''{Loading screen}'''
*'''[[Ikora Rey|Ikora]]''': [[Maya Sundaresh|The Conductor]]'s forces are rampant in the [[Plaguelands]]. We're sending you in to investigate and take action. [[Lodi]], our ambassador from [[Earth]]'s past, will be monitoring communications with me. 

*'''Lodi''': The Plaguelands have been interdicted for years thanks to lingering [[SIVA]] — tech described to me as "infinitely replicating evil nanomachines." Oh boy. Well, now it's kaput — the last of the SIVA died with the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]]. 

*'''Ikora''': Be warned. The danger ahead is an unknown one. 

'''{Mission begins}'''

::[[The Guardian]] lands near the [[The Archon's Keep|Archon's Keep]] and approaches the [[Bunker War-6|Warsat Facility]]. 

*'''Ikora''': You'll be joined on this expedition by a squad of [[Psion]]s allied with the [[Forces of the City]]. They're experts in a wide variety of fields, including manipulation of [[Quicksilver]], a [[Neomuna|Neomuni]] nanite technology that may prove useful here. You have command on the ground. Bear it well.

::The Guardian encounters a radiation leak. They call upon [[Decima, Shielding Psion]].

*'''Lodi''': Seems like a problem for our Psionic allies. When I was 20, I'd have given my left hand to talk to 'em for an hour. Funny where life takes you. 

::The Guardian enters Bunker War-6, the Warsat facility.

*'''Ikora''': Lodi, you were curious about SIVA. This is its deactivated form. 

*'''Lodi''': Technology gone rogue, poisoning a landscape, destroying the people who touched it… That's… not a threat I thought I'd face twice in a lifetime.

::If the Guardian is wielding [[Outbreak Prime|Outbreak Perfected]], the following dialogue plays:

*'''Ikora''': The surrounding SIVA isn't reacting at all to the Guardian wielding a colony of live nanites. No fear, Lodi. This is one threat we're both past. 

::The Guardian calls [[Thysaeuc, Quicksilver Psion]] to dissolve the SIVA barrier. The Guardian finds a way through the dead SIVA to access the bunker. The Guardian accesses Central Observation to activate the [[Warsat]] elevators. 

*'''Maya Sundaresh''': I will not be stopped. The satellite will launch and spread my [[Red Legion|legions]] through this whole barren system. So, the [[Echo of Command]] proved itself worthless. Enough. I have better tools. Two choices only remain for you, Ikora Rey: my [[Golden Age]] or nothing. 

::The Guardian finds the override codes to initialise the gravlift. 

*'''Ikora''': Get ready for a fight. And watch out! There's something familiar about the signature this time… 

::The Guardian defeats [[Valus Thuun|Value Thunn]] and stops the Warsat launch.

*'''Maya Sundaresh''': You have chosen nothing! A dead world. An empty future bereft of any meaning. 

*'''Ikora''': The future is not yours to shape. 

*'''Maya Sundaresh''': When my command is complete, it will be. 

::The Guardian calls the Psions to the Warsat.

*'''Ikora''': That's the machine. Destroy this, and you destroy the Conductor's ability to bring Red Legionnaires into our timeline. 

*'''Maya Sundaresh''': You think you've won. I will return from the network in a strength beyond anything you can imagine. 

*'''Ikora''': Go on… run away. We'll ready for you. 

::The Guardian destroys the satellite. 

*'''Ikora''': That's a Quicksilver energy signature — one from another timeline. Take it, Guardian. 

::The Guardian reaches through time to claim Wolfsbane.

'''{Mission ends}'''

===First Catalyst===
*'''Ikora''': Takeover of local systems holding steady at 60%. The files are signed by an "[[Astraea]]" — the AI of [[Vesper Station]], up in [[Europa]] orbit. [[Guardian]]s have encountered this AI before. Lodi, she passed on a distress call from you. About your… "Odysseus Protocol"?

*'''Lodi''': Well, Ms. Astraea, we appreciate having an ally keeping an eye on this place for us. And… personally? Thanks for boosting that signal. I'm real pleased about the people it led to me.

*'''Ikora''': Very ambassadorial of you. 

*'''Lodi''': Just doing my job. 

===Second Catalyst===
*'''Lodi''': We've got a Golden Age AI interfacing with this [[Light]] technology, but you're saying Light-infused tech wasn't standard in her time?

*'''Ikora''': Not at all, as far as we knew. We didn't have historical records of Light-infused tech like this 'til now. Do you have anything you'd like to share about our former [[Department of External Observation|employer]]'s other secret innovations?

*'''Lodi''': No, ma'am.

===Third Catalyst===
*'''Lodi''': Uh, Astraea's at 87% integration — some structure discrepancies still holding out on us. 

*'''Ikora''': There's much to learn here. About the Golden Age, about Warminds… The [[Owl Sector]] will be eager to sink their teeth into this one. I won't impose, but… we could use a linguist who's also an expert in historical computer systems. 

*'''Lodi''': Ikora, I want in even if the Owl Sector are ACTUAL owls.

*'''Ikora''': I'll make the introductions, Louis. 

===Fourth Catalyst===
*'''Ikora''': Code takeover complete. Astraea is now fully integrated into the facility network. Nobody else should be able to get in. Hold on, Guardian. Something's… activating. Lodi?

*'''Lodi''': "[[Soteria|Sister]], I will find you no matter how far your ashes have been scattered. We don't have to be alone." AIs with sisters is a new one to me! But… you could call the [[The Nine|Nine]] a family too. Wonder if it's one of those things that comes free with sentience. 

*'''Ikora''': Satellites launched — trajectory's locked. It'll take her a long time to get that far, but… Astraea is headed for [[Neptune]]. 

::If the Guardian is wielding [[Hierarchy of Needs]], Lori's dialogue changes to the following:

*'''Lodi''': "Sister, I will find you no matter how far your ashes have been scattered. We don't have to be alone." Says you've got part of her sister with you, actually, Guardian. I don't know how pleased she is about that…
