(Mission begins)

Outer Wastes, Kepler

  • Ikora: Guardian, this is an emergency. The Aionians' energy reactor is on the verge of going supercritical — we need to shut it down, now!
  • Drifter: Didn't y'all JUST fix this thing?
  • Lodi: Since the Guardian shut the Vex quarantine down, they're figuring out a way to get to the Nine without it.
  • Orin: If this reactor melts down, it'll charcoal Kepler and wipe out anyone trying to hinder the Vex from controlling the singularity.
  • Ikora: Then no one will be alive to stop them. Find what caused this.
The Guardian passes through a dark matter portal in a subway train, which takes them directly to the reactor where they find a massive Choral Hydra before it.
  • Drifter: Wild hunch, but I think the Guardian found the cause of the meltdown.
  • Ikora: Focus on the reactor, keep the Aionians safe, then deal with the invulnerable Vex.
The Guardian eliminates three Uplifted Choral Goblins surrounding the reactor.
  • Ikora: We don't have much time, Guardian — fight your way through and disable any power nodes you can find!
  • Lodi: Every energy plant has to have a supply of coolant on hand to submerge the core in an emergency.
  • Drifter: If you can find it, I'll route it back to the reactor, hero. Go!
  • Lodi: We need to get the Aionians evacuated — if this place goes nuclear, the temple, the Caldera, everything is squarely within the blast radius.
  • Orin: Dammit! The Aionians are too dispersed to reach all of them before boiling conversion!
  • Ikora: Guardian, buy us as much time as you can — we'll assess our options!
  • Ikora: Lodi, do the Aionians have any kind of shelter they can get to quickly? Bunkers, or even a cavern system?
  • Lodi: No. Their infrastructure wasn't built to handle any kind of fallout. Even if they could survive, the explosion would trigger the singularity's expansion. Kepler gets vacuumed.
  • Orin: If that happens, all of Sol goes with it. Outer Orbits, Inner Orbits — we're all extruded.
The Guardian moves to the first reactor coolant pump, dispatching Choral Vex as they do and collecting coolant from them to give them more time.
  • Drifter: Dammit, this thing's hemorrhaging coolant like a severed head!
  • Ikora: I'm beneath the reactor. Its reservoir is cracked, but I can contain the pressure. Ophiuchus will just have to continually res me.
  • Orin: Ikora—
  • Ikora: Don't worry about me!
The Guardian destroys the three disruptors and use an Aionian Command to restart the first reactor coolant pump.
  • Lodi: What if we could get help? III wanted us here alive — what if they could intervene?
  • Ikora: Make the call! Guardian! Buy Lodi time! I'm beneath… the reactor! Approaching now!
The Guardian heads for the second reactor coolant pump.
  • Drifter: Temps aren't stable yet, but we're making headway. Ikora, you holding together the coolant walls?
  • Ikora: Keep going. Buy us any time you can!
  • Lodi: [stutters] Something's wrong. III isn't talking, just s-seeing flashes. Brooklyn, but everything's on fire — is this — is this the Collapse? Oily rain? Heads tipped back — people don't know it's irradiated!
  • Ikora: L-Lodi! We're running… out of time!
  • Lodi: Talk to me! Please, III, we need help! It's just — it's just showing me things! An eruption in a tundra? A bear boiling in mud? In a forest of ash… III! The reactor is melting down; we need you to help us! Stop — showing me a — a meteor? Talk to me! Damn it, why are you showing me this, why won't you help?
  • Ikora: Cut the connection. Lodi, Orin! Find cover. We're on our own!
  • Drifter: The unknowable god doesn't want help! What a surprise! They're just gonna leave you dying on repeat.
The Guardian destroys three disruptors and uses an Aionian command to restart the second reactor coolant pump.
  • Drifter: That's it, one node left, hero!
  • Ikora: Lodi! Are you all right? Louis!
  • Lodi: [pants] That was the Collapse… and then a little earlier… and then WAY earlier… III won't talk, won't help. They just… wanted to show us disasters.
  • Ikora: We've got something more reliable than a god. Guardian… my faith lies with you. [gasps for air] If… they won't save us… then we'll just have to save… ourselves!
  • Drifter: Oh yeah YEAH, Sister! Now you get it!
The Guardian heads to the third reactor coolant pump and destroys the three disruptors to restart it. They then make their way back to the reactor.
  • Ikora: The Nine murdered a mortal so she could be useful in her next life, and abducted her friend to use him as a puppet! They'll casually rearrange the life of the Guardian, but won't lift a finger to help?! My role may be set, but I will not play it passively. I will hold a reactor together with his bare hands! I will move time and space to hold them accountable, and I will enact my future on my own terms! If the Nine want Ikora Rey so badly… then here I am!
  • Lodi: There you are.
  • Orin: Your will is your own!
  • Drifter: HELL YES! That's what I'm talking about!
The Guardian returns to the central reactor.
  • Lodi: You were underneath that thing, Miss Rey?
  • Ikora: Holding it together in there while the Guardian got it stable out here.
  • Lodi: You always were a tough one. How many times did you die?
  • Ikora: As many as it took to finish the job.
  • Drifter: You've got everything you need. Split that Hydra from the reactor, then let's finish the job!
Utilizing charged Matterspark blasts to defeat Vex shielding disruptors and imputing Aionian commands to break Eulochus' shield, the Guardian is able to destroy the Hydra.
  • Ikora: With the reactor shut down again, how stable are the Aionians' power sources? Will the Altar still hold?
  • Lodi: It's not a permanent solution, but our efforts should have given the Aionians' generators a serviceable amount of juice. The Altar should remain stable, and we'll still be able to get through.
  • Ghost: III's waiting for us on the other side of that door.
  • Lodi: Ms. Rey, not to rush us, but the Vex are flocking to the singularity. We should follow. I want answers.
  • Ikora: As do I. You and I have come too far to not know the reason why we're here. And we're only beginning to understand what they changed for the Guardian.
