==Transcript==
{{Verbatim}}
*'''[[Aunor Mahal|Aunor]]''': We must destroy that weapon before [[Dredgen Bael|Bael]] can fire on the [[Last City|City]]. The first step is stealing an Imperium shuttle here on Europa. According to [[The Drifter|Drifter]], the shuttle is refueling at base right now. It's the perfect time to strike. 
*'''[[Eris Morn]]''': I can only hope that we are not playing right into the Prophecy.
*'''[[Eido]]''': Prophecy? What prophecy? 
*'''[[Lodi]]''': Ope, sounds like I’m just in time. Velask, Miss Eido — thank you for the pronunciation tips. Guardian, Europa is within [[The Nine|V's]] gravity well. And they really do not want to be… constrained. Look after yourself out there. 

'''(Mission begins)'''

:::'''Stolen NLS Crusier Cargo Bay, Adamant'''

*'''Aunor''': Don't forget your parka.

::''[[The Guardian]] selects their Renegades abilities and enters their [[Hawk]] to drop onto Europa.''

*'''Aunor''': The base is well-concealed. You'll need to deploy sensors in three spots to triangulate its location. They can't hide from us. 

::''The Guardian moves to deeply the first beacon, avoiding a [[Strand-Hardened Behemoth]].''

*'''Aunor''': There's anti-air weapons all around the base. You'll need to deal with them, or they'll shoot down the shuttle as soon as we take off. 
*'''Eido''': They've been augmented with [[Strand]]-based Heavy armor. Your weapons won't do any damage. 
*'''Aunor''': I've seen that tech. [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl's]] people were still working on a prototype. How—?
*'''Eris Morn''': The underlying Strand theory should still be the same. I will devise a countermeasure. 

::''The Guardian places the second sensor beacon.'' 

*'''Lodi''': Miss Eido, if you ever want to talk about what happened, I'm happy to listen. Sometimes it helps to share the burden. 

::''The Guardian places the final sensor beacon. Soon after, an [[Imperium Patrol Thresher]] drops in and begins to attack.''

*'''Aunor''': We've got some Imperium chatter. You've got 'em spooked — they're pulling a [[Thresher]] back to defend the base. Take it out. That'll be one less anti-air defense to worry about. 

::''The Guardian destroys the Thresher.''

*'''Eido''': Their base controls are encrypted better than their communications, but the [[Splicer Shank (Renegades)|Splicer Shank]] should make quick work of it. It's sending back more Imperium data. Looks like [[Nightfall Station]]'s got some serious shielding… that's a problem we'll have to solve. 

::''The Guardian makes their way into the base using the vent system.'' 

*'''Eido''': What did they build all this? How? All their equipment, the research and raw materials… where is it all coming from? 
*'''Lodi''': They must have been given extra time to develop. Any of the Nine could do that — dilate time within a pocket dimension — but it's… rude? It's vulgar. Like using a sledgehammer to kill an ant or playing five aces in poker. The Outers must be worried about what we learned on [[Kepler]]. 
*'''Eris Morn''': Understandable. Fear unites all. 

::''The Guardian drops through a vent into Firebase Imperator.''

*'''Eido''': I'm picking up enemy chatter. They’re moving to intercept you! 

::''After the Guardian takes out some Imperium forces, including a [[Goliath Tank]], [[Optus Namic]] arrives.''

*'''Aunor''': That's the Firebase captain. Do what you do best, Guardian.

::''The Guardian defeats Optus Namic.''

*'''Aunor''': That's the shuttle secured. Its systems are locked, but the Splicer Shank will crack it in no time. Have it scramble the base's records while it's in there — we don't want the Imperium identifying which shuttle you took. While you do that, I'm going to call some of my people. That shuttle… I recognize the design.

::''The Guardian approaches the shuttle and the Splicer Shank begins hacking into it.''

*'''Aunor''': Looks like the Imperium's called in reinforcements. If you try to take off now, they'll swat you out of the sky. Eris?
*'''Eris Morn''': The countermeasures will be ready shortly. 
*'''Lodi''': "Countermeasure" is selling it short. They're… beautiful, Guardian, you're gonna love 'em.

::''The Guardian accesses a console by the blast door to open it. As they head towards a dome structure outside, they see three Strand cannons on the roof. Their [[jumpship]] rushes overhead as Imperium [[Harvester]]s drop in the distance.'' 

*'''Aunor''': Is that a modded [[Tangle Launcher|cannon]] from Kepler? Putting Drifter's souvenirs to good use, I see. 
*'''Eris Morn''': This weapon exploits the resonant frequencies of Strand. Unleash your fury, and cut down those Behemoths!

::''Using their modded Strand cannon, the Guardian is able to defeat an Imperium Behemoth.''

*'''Lodi''': You do impressive work, Ms. Morn.
*'''Eris Morn''': I have expertise in many areas when my words are heeded. For instance, when secrets should be kept, and when they should be shared. 
*'''Lodi''': So do I, especially when those secrets impact entire populations. I also know it's impolite to talk like this on an open line. 
*'''Aunor''': I called up some of my sources. Listen to this. The shuttle was a Barant prototype presented at a design conference in the Last City. And our "[[Bracus Lume, Coalition Ally|Premier Lume]]" matches records of a "Bracus Lume". Caiatl says he vanished with a squadron three years ago. 
*'''Lodi''': So, Lume took troops and a prototype tech with him, and VI gave them more time — maybe decades — to build the Imperium.

::''The Guardian defeats the remaining three Imperium Behemoths.'' 

*'''Aunor''': More Behemoths coming your way. You won't have much cover out there — stay mobile. 

::''The Guardian obtains a Strand-modified Pike and clears the remaining Behemoths.'' 

*'''Aunor''': The skies are clear. With all their anit-air defenses taken care of, you can fly the shuttle right out. I've got another bit of helpful news. I had my people look closer to home, and they finally got a lead. Bael's got half a dozen false identities in the City. He's been getting supplies from the [[Tex Mechanica]] foundry. I think it’s time the [[Vanguard]] had a nice sit-down chat with 'em.

::''The Guardian returns to the base to steal the shuttle.'' 

*'''Eido''': What is this Prophecy you're all so scared of? If I deserve to be part of this crew, I deserve to know why this is all happening, so I can help you.
*'''Aunor''': This information is classified at the highest levels to protect everyone. 
*'''Eido''': I know it must be important. But… every night, I remember that horrible red light. And the silence, after. 
*'''Eris Morn''': The Nine of [[Earth]], III, is dead. It gave us a Prophecy: "A death ensures extinction. To survive, you must bind the Nine." 
*'''Lodi''': Eris Morn, you are not the arbiter of what is and isn't safe. Just because you can handle this information doesn't mean everyone can. 
*'''Eido''': This isn't just any information. This is your future. The Vanguard have no right to hide this!
