'''Presage''' (also known as '''Exotic Quest: Presage''') is an [[Exotic Mission]] introduced in ''[[Season of the Chosen]]'' and can be accessed on the [[Tangled Shore]]. The activity can be unlocked by retrieving an Intercepted Distress Signal at the beginning of [[The Arms Dealer]] [[strike]]. Once acquired, go to the [[Tower]] and speak to [[Zavala]] who will give you a quest titled The Voice on the Other Side. Completion of this activity on Normal difficulty rewards the [[Guardian]] with the [[Dead Man's Tale]] Exotic [[scout rifle]]; whereas completion on Master difficulty yields the Dead Man's Tale [[Exotic Catalysts|Catalyst]].

As of [[Season of the Witch]]'s release, the mission is currently part of the Exotic Mission rotator.<ref>'''Bungie (8/10/2023)''',https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/this_week_in_destiny_08102023</ref>

==Overview==
The activity takes place aboard the derelict [[Cabal]] carrier, the [[Glykon Volatus]]; drifting on the periphery of the anomaly left as a result of [[Mars]]' disappearance from the [[Sol System]]. The [[Guardian]] is tasked by [[Zavala]] to respond to the distress signal recovered in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]] and rescue [[Katabasis]] aboard the ship in exchange for his [[Dead Man's Tale|rifle]]. [[Osiris]] accompanies the Guardian on their outing, with [[Caiatl]] lending her assistance as she searches for the whereabouts of [[Emperor Calus]].

Fluorescent spores and [[Egregore]] fauna infest the interior of the ship, with the remains of Cabal [[Legionaries]] and [[Scorn]] [[Stalker|Stalkers]] scattered throughout the various areas. The Glykon Volatus has been overrun with Corrupted Scorn and are being led by the [[Locus of Communion]], the mutated result of Calus' attempts at communing with the [[Darkness]] through the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. The team heard numerous voices of the dead several times while navigating through the ship such as [[Sagira]], [[Cayde-6]], and [[Uldren Sov]]. Upon reaching the boiler room, the Guardian successfully defeated the Locus of Communion and traversed through further vents to reach the bridge of the ship. Once there, the team discovered that Katabasis had died and his corpse was strung up by the Egregore, slowly siphoning the [[Light]] from his body; his rifle was lain on the ground next to the fauna.

After numerous expeditions to the ship and uncovering each of the smuggling compartments revealed by the [[Lore:Captain's Log|Captain's Log]] pieces, the team discovered the Crown of Sorrow underneath the bridge of the ship. Osiris noted that the Crown was 'listening' and had been altered from its original design of possessing the wearer to assimilating two entities together. He also wished to recover this and return it to the [[Tower]] for further inspection, but Caiatl strongly objected.

===Master difficulty===
The Guardian must navigate through the Glykon and successfully complete the mission in 25 minutes. The Contest modifier is active, meaning that you are under-levelled against enemies. Contrary to what is stated on the activity screen, Master difficulty does not include any [[Champion|Champions]] to fight. Completing the activity on this difficulty rewards the Dead Man's Tale catalyst.

===Glykon clues===
There are a total of 15 clues aboard the ship and finding all of them rewards you with the Shell of [[Gilgamesh]] Exotic [[Ghost]] shell. Each set must be completed in order to gain access to the next week's set of clues. A [[Triumphs|triumph]] is rewarded for each week's completion.

====Week one====
There are 5 clues available this week for the ''Figments of an Answer'' triumph.

#'''The Cabal strung up by the Egregore''', directly in front of the first spore barrier you encounter.
#'''The Scorn crown to the right of the entrance to the second spore barrier'''.
#'''The ship at ground level in the hangar''', inside the combat area at the far back.
#'''The [[Dark Ether]] canisters''', inside the room after the second electric barrier.
#'''The hologram of Calus'''. After defeating the Locus of Communion and dropping down the vent, turn around and jump over the box.

====Week two====
There are 6 clues available this week for the ''Another Link in the Chain'' triumph.

#'''The datapad on the wall in the vent''', after the first spore barrier.
#'''The destroyed Scorpius turret''', in the middle section of the area with the two giant electric walls.
#'''The burned jetpack from an [[Incendior]]''', in the second hangar area underneath the [[Thresher]].
#'''The dead Scorn captain''', in the room immediately after the hangar.
#'''The Ghost shell of Gilgamesh''', in the jumping puzzle room before the boss fight on the right side.
#'''The chalice of opulence''', in the final area of the room underneath the walkway.

====Week three====
There are 4 clues available this week for the ''All the Scattered Pieces'' triumph.

#'''The [[Frame]] located at the control panel''', in the first electric wall area.
#'''The antenna on the outside of the ship''', immediately after the first hangar area.
#'''The yellow datapad''', in the second hangar area near the entrance.
#'''The Cabal regalia''', at the rally flag before the boss fight.

===Smuggling compartments===
There are a total of 12 smuggling compartments throughout the ship which contain a chest giving a small amount of loot, as well as advancing your Dead Man's Tale catalyst faster. New smuggling compartments are unlocked by picking up the Captain's Log lore pieces when completing the mission. To access these smuggling compartments, you will need to interact with the nearby datapad which corresponds to the relative area the compartment should be. Finding all of the smuggling compartments will reward the ''Tucked Away'' triumph.

*'''The breakable panel on the left''', immediately after entering the ship.
*'''The middle of the walkway with the door on the floor''', just before dropping down to the entrance of the ship.
*'''Inside the first room with the Egregore''', on the right of the room.
*'''The room with the second [[Screeb]] encounter''', after passing through the second Egregore barrier.
*'''The room to the left on the second floor''', generally in the same area as the previous datapad.
*'''Inside the escape vent''', once the three fuses have been destroyed in the trash compactor room.
*'''After the first encounter''', the closed room on the left.
*'''At the back of the first hangar area''', near the closed door and the docked ship.
*'''At the back of the second hangar area''', behind the Thresher.
*'''In the first room after the second hangar area''', turn right to see the datapad and the door.
*'''Inside the maze''', turn around to face the opposite direction from the spores. At the first intersection, turn right and continue down the way.
*'''Inside the final room''', behind Katabasis' body at the front of the ship.

''The fireteam lands on [[Glykon Volatus|Glykon's]] entrance.''

*'''[[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|OSIRIS]]:''' Several months ago, a Cabal vessel bearing the name "Glykon" disappeared near the Reef. This ship matches its description and heading. So far, our hails have gone unanswered, and the distress signal continues to loop. You're clear for live-fire engagements. Board it, and find our missing [[Katabasis|Guardian]].

''The fireteam boards the ship through the open vent on the hull of the ship and crawls through the ventilation systems.''

*'''OSIRIS:'''There's a distortion in the field- no, frequencies… like ripples meeting in conversation. Executing trace. Stand by.

*'''OSIRIS:''' I've sourced the distortion. There's an open patch to the ship's computer. Perhaps courtesy of our lost friend.

''Arriving on the other side of the Glykon's entrance door, the fireteam notices the strange spores blocking the path forward. Shooting the spores grants passage onward.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Those spores are harmonizing with a nearby concentration of Darkness.

*'''OSIRIS:''' There is no Light here.

''The fireteam passes through the spores and a room filled with strange growths and corpses of Cabal soldiers and Scorn and into the small hatch tunnel.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' The Glykon's navigation system marks their destination as an anomaly… left in the wake of Mars's disappearance.

''The team journeys deeper into the ship, noticing the electric field blocking the direct path forward. The team circles around, encountering multiple Scorn and more spores on the way.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Guardian, you're not the only life sign aboard. I see at least one other. It may be our missing friend... it may not.

*'''OSIRIS:''' I've found the journal of Calus's scribe, [[Amsot]]. Translation as follows: "Today, Calus graced the Glykon with his presence and gazed upon the anomaly. His councilors prepare the exhibition chamber with gold from the Castellum. They are confident the [[Crown of Sorrow|crown]] is ready. The end will lay eyes upon him, and weep at his magnificence."

''The fireteam falls down to an active trash compactor of the ship, but manages to disable it before being crushed to death, venturing further through an unlocked hatch on the compactor floor.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' This ship's passageways no longer connect as they should.

''The team enters a locked room and encounters a [[Locus of Communion|large Scorn ravager]] trying to smash through the door. The Scorn teleports away while sending minions in an attempt to eliminate the team.''

*'''OSIRIS''' Movement- in the dark!

''The fireteam survives the assault.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Guardian, I've pieced together another of Amsot's records. It reads: "A tragedy of silence. He tore the wilting failures apart himself. The connection is strong but the Darkness does not speak through them. An ocean without wind. Even the Lightbearer could not coax it to awaken."

''The team arrives at Glykon's hangar and battles through another, bigger horde of Scorn.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Hangar systems are intact... Why didn't they try to run?

''The team continues on from the hangar, experiencing voices from deceased friends or foes as they push forward through, disabling electric fields and unlocking the path forward.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Amsot kept notes on experiments as well. It seems that Scorn exposed to the anomaly all suffered contiguous neuron death. It consumed their minds. All but one, who "spoke with many dead voices." This survivor would become the centerpiece of their studies.

''The team eventually arrives at the boilers of the ship, where they encounter the same Scorn, now dubbed Locus of Communion, which attempts to kill them personally this time.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Put this decrepit creature to rest.

''After a lengthy battle, the team manages to defeat the Locus and unlock the vent hatch to the command bridge of the ship.'' 

*'''OSIRIS:''' Guardian. This anomaly left in Mars's wake… I have seen it and others like it. In place of each world the Darkness stole. At the edge of our heliopause. Calus meant to commune with the Darkness.

''On the bridge, they find the dangling corpse of the Guardian they were searching for and his weapon, [[Dead Man's Tale]], propped up on the ground below him.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Faint traces of Light. That thing...was a Guardian. We're too late- far too late. Take the rifle. It was offered, was it not? Better in your hands than left for another. I'll speak to Zavala about authorizing exploratory outings. If we can recover our lost friend's Ghost, we may learn more of how he died. Return to the City. We must assess our findings.

''The team grabs the rifle and the mission ends.''

|title2=Week 2
|content2=
''The fireteam lands on Glykon's entrance.''

*'''Osiris:''' Exploratory outing: Presage. Designation: VG-999. I am receiving you.

*'''Caiatl:''' Not finished picking at Cabal bones?

*'''Osiris:''' Caiatl? Heh, have you no more officers to send in your place?

*'''Caiatl:''' You're trespassing, and I need information on that ship. Withdraw.

*'''Osiris:''' This is a rescue operation for a wayward Ghost. Interference here would not end well for you.

*'''Caiatl:''' Rescue? The Cabal are not animals. Send in your Guardian, but Calus belongs to me. As long as I see him dragged from this hole, I don't care who does it.

*'''Osiris:''' Then keep your distance and leave us be.

*'''Caiatl:''' I've lived aboard these ships. I know their systems. You need me.

*'''Osiris:''' We shall see.

''The fireteam boards the ship through the open vent on the hull of the ship and crawls through the ventilation systems.''

*'''Osiris:''' What will you do with Calus if he is found?

*'''Caiatl:''' Autocrats only know obsession. His gluttony exposed us. So I'll feed him all the trimmings of his failure. Until his belly bursts.

''Arriving on the other side of the Glykon's entrance door, the fireteam notices the strange spores blocking the path forward. Shooting the spores grants passage onward.''

*'''Caiatl:''' How many Cabal died for this?

*'''Osiris:''' Enough, it would seem, to achieve the emperor's desired result.

*'''Caiatl:''' Emperor? This derelict is his empire. Sacrificed to pride; paid for in blood.

''The fireteam passes through the spores and a room filled with strange growths, corpses of Cabal soldiers and Scorn and into the small hatch tunnel.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Are those [[Fallen|Eliksni]]?

*'''Osiris:''' At one time. Their Ether was bound with Darkness. Now they're Scorn: rot-minded and easily swayed to violence.

*'''Caiatl:''' The perfect vessel, if one could keep them contained.

''The team journeys deeper into the ship, noticing the electric field blocking the direct path forward. The team circles around, encountering multiple Scorn and more spores on the way.''

*'''Caiatl:''' This infestation, I've seen it before… as [[Xivu Arath]] [[Fall of Torobatl|slaughtered]] my people.

*'''Osiris:''' What was it like? That… inevitability?

*'''Caiatl:''' Like burning alive, and realizing the flames are just the beginning. Gasps of scorching air. Helpless panic. The smell. Was it any different when [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]] razed the City? Survivors like us are embers in the dark.

*'''Osiris:''' Delicate…

*'''Caiatl:''' Defiant.

''The fireteam falls down to an active trash compactor of the ship, but manages to disable it before being crushed to death, venturing further through an unlocked hatch on the compactor floor.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Osiris sends you through a trash compactor. If you were Cabal, I would lift you into the stars.

*'''Osiris:''' You have never sounded more like your father.

''The team enters a locked room and encounters the Locus of Communion trying to smash through the door. The Scorn teleports away while sending minions in an attempt to eliminate the team.''

*'''Osiris:''' I thought you killed that.

''The fireteam survives the assault.''

*'''Caiatl:''' The Cabal have suffered too many losses for vanity. Petulance. First Calus. Then Ghaul. 

*'''Osiris:''' But not you?

*'''Caiatl:''' Don't insult me. I’ve grown wise from watching monuments topple. No mercy for false gods.

''The team arrives at Glykon's hangar and battles through another, bigger horde of Scorn.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Half these ships ran routes to the [[Tangled Shore]].

*'''Osiris:''' Where they harvested the Scorn for their experiments.

*'''Caiatl:''' This hangar took in ships from all over Sol. The [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] could be lurking at any of those coordinates.

''The team continues on from the hangar, experiencing voices from deceased friends or foes as they push forward through, disabling electric fields and unlocking the path forward.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Your missing Guardian was working with my father.

*'''Osiris:''' So it would appear.

*'''Caiatl:''' If his Ghost were recovered, would its memories be… accessible?

*'''Osiris:''' That remains to be seen.

*'''Caiatl:''' No. You burned away. I saw it.

*'''Osiris:''' What do you hear, Empress?

*'''Caiatl:''' Mistakes, thrown on the pyre of my past. You… heard something different?

*'''Osiris:''' The ignorance of my youth; the pain of change. Unproven faith wilted by logic.

''The team eventually arrives at the boilers of the ship, where they encounter the same Scorn, now dubbed Locus of Communion, which attempts to kill them personally this time.''

''After a lengthy battle, the team manages to defeat the Locus and unlock the vent hatch to the command bridge of the ship.'' 

*'''Osiris:''' I believe I've found a record of first contact with this… Voice. It says: "I Amsot, scribe of Glykon, rejoice. The Scorn are one, rejoice. They bear the weight of the crown elegantly, rejoice. They whisper anticipations, rejoice. Our emperor hears the Voice of salvation. Rejoice!"

*'''Caiatl:''' Sycophants - all of them. Enabling his madness.

''On the bridge, they find the dangling corpse of the Guardian they were searching for. They interact with it to end the mission.''

*'''Caiatl:''' What is that thing?

*'''Osiris:''' Our lost Guardian.

*'''Caiatl:''' Can your Ghosts undo that?

*'''Osiris:''' Not so far as I'm aware.

*'''Caiatl:''' Then why are you searching for it?

*'''Osiris:''' Answers. Same as you, Empress.

*'''Caiatl:''' If there is nothing else, I must analyze the Glykon's archives. My cruiser will monitor the situation here.

*'''Osiris:''' A path to the Ghost still eludes us. Until we return, then.

|title3=Week 3
|content3=
''The fireteam lands on Glykon's entrance.''

*'''Osiris:''' I'm receiving you, Guardian. The Vanguard saw value in our investigation. We are tasked with the recovery of any information or relics pertaining to the Darkness. 

*'''Caiatl:''' Welcome back to the Glykon, Guardians. 

*'''Osiris:''' I expected you to be gone after the armistice.

*'''Caiatl:''' This ship is Cabal. I have a duty to its crew while Calus remains free. 

*'''Osiris:''' What have you found in our absence? 

*'''Caiatl:''' Hidden records in the Glykon's mainframe... from your lost Guardian. They're decrypting as we speak. 

''The fireteam boards the ship through the open vent on the hull of the ship and crawls through the ventilation systems.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Transmitting the first message.

*'''Unknown Guardian:''' He's been drinking more and more of the royal slop. I see him pawing at the air for hours, laughing, eyes glazed over. There's another alignment tomorrow. Maybe I can slip the hangar and get lost before anyone notices. I know a few Guardians who might want to hear what I've seen. 

''Arriving on the other side of the Glykon's entrance door, the fireteam notices the strange spores blocking the path forward. Shooting the spores grants passage onward.''

*'''Osiris:''' Did your data mining yield anything about a crown?

*'''Caiatl:''' Amsot detailed an ornate procession that brought a Hive crown from Leviathan to Glykon. It allowed the Darkness to invade the Scorn's thoughts. 

*'''Osiris:''' Not the Darkness, the Entity. 

*'''Caiatl:''' The two are entwined. Does the difference matter? 

*'''Osiris:''' That there is difference makes our understanding of the Darkness a façade.

''The fireteam passes through the spores and a room filled with strange growths and corpses of Cabal soldiers and Scorn and into the small hatch tunnel.''

*'''Osiris:''' What do you presume they are? The crown? The Entity? 

*'''Caiatl:''' Idols. Sustained by fixation until there is nothing left to reap. 

''The team journeys deeper into the ship, noticing the electric field blocking the direct path forward. The team circles around, encountering multiple Scorn and more spores on the way.''

''The fireteam falls down to an active trash compactor of the ship, but manages to disable it before being crushed to death, venturing further through an unlocked hatch on the compactor floor.''

''The team enters a locked room and encounters a [[Locus of Communion|large Scorn ravager]] trying to smash through the door. The Scorn teleports away while sending minions in an attempt to eliminate the team.''

''The fireteam survives the assault.''

''The team arrives at Glykon's hangar and battles through another, bigger horde of Scorn.''

''The team continues on from the hangar, experiencing voices from deceased friends or foes as they push forward through, disabling electric fields and unlocking the path forward.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Another decrypted entry.

*'''Unknown Guardian:''' He hit Acheron's wall and sank. Straight down to the deep. Gly's in a bad way after the dive: all twisted. I'm all twisted. Whole crew rattling around in my skull, like they're thinking for me. Scorn. What they used to be. What they are now. Dive must have opened the cells. Someone's gotta clip their horns, especially the big one, or... or we're dead. 

''The team eventually arrives at the boilers of the ship, where they encounter the same Scorn, now dubbed Locus of Communion, which attempts to kill them personally this time.''

''After a lengthy battle, the team manages to defeat the Locus and unlock the vent hatch to the command bridge of the ship.''

''On the bridge, they find the dangling corpse of the Guardian they were searching for. They interat with it to end the mission.''

*'''Caiatl:''' Another entry transmitting: 

*'''Unknown Guardian:''' I didn't think it was true. All that talk about the Darkness — but it saw him. Something in there stared right back into Calus's hungry eyes. Then Uldren's rotted tykes started shrieking and, and I knew... I knew I shouldn't have come here.

''If the Guardian collect all hidden caches within the Glykon, they can access a room under Katabasis' body where they find the Crown of Sorrow surrounded by dead Scorn.''

*'''Caiatl:''' What monstrosity is this?

*'''Osiris:''' The Crown of Sorrow. A Hive artifact of devilish craftsmanship, meant to subvert the wearer's will. I suspected it was the crown in question.

*'''Caiatl:''' More Hive witchcraft. It should be destroyed. 

*'''Osiris:''' It has been altered from its original design. Opened. Instead of controlling minds, it... it's meant to merge them. It... is listening. We cannot leave the crown free. 

*'''Caiatl:''' You think you can contain it? So did Calus. How long before your audacity damns the City, advisor? 

*'''Osiris:''' Your warning is noted, Empress, but this is Vanguard space. Will you ensure the crown is undisturbed while I make preparations for its recovery? 

*'''Caiatl:''' The Cabal are not at your disposal. Do so at your own peril.

===Clues===
{{Tabcontainer
|title1=Week 1
|content1=
;Entangled Cabal
*'''Osiris:''' Sarcophilous growths, with cores of Darkness. The material is organic. It reminds me of a certain flora kept by our silver-tongued Drifter. Curious. The Cabal here, their minds hang suspended in the death throes of cognition; falling into a singularity.

;Totem
*'''Osiris:''' Scorn. They did not come from Calus's Menagerie. The Dark Ether in this device has been tampered with: its connection to the Darkness galvanized, rooted. Calus always did embody a clever sort of madness.

;Jumpship
*'''Osiris:''' Jump logs indicate this ship made berth from the Leviathan. Its pilot has an officer's clearance; our Guardian appears to have a long and storied history with the emperor.

;Dark Ether Tank
*'''Osiris:''' Wine? No... concentrated Dark Ether. These are similar to Gahlran's chamber in the royal baths, but without life support systems. Micro etchings along the interior walls… scratches.

'''Address'''
*'''Osiris:''' This is an address from Calus to his crew. "I chose Gahlran, and his frailty betrayed us. He was too pure, too alone. Our new guests are neither. A glorious chain of Dark minds. An open mouth for the One in the Darkness, that it may sing in exaltation of my majesty. Greatness recognizes greatness. To invoke the attention of the End, our offer must be great.

|title2=Week 2
|content2=
;Anomaly scan
*'''Osiris:''' Scans of the anomaly they chased, left in Mars' wake. It's part of the Darkness, one piece of a larger web. Others align with our missing planets and moons. As well as many points beyond Sol's borders…

*'''Caiatl:''' Calus's scribe identifies a Voice in the Darkness. One of their dead mother, of dead enemies, of Ghaul. They say it spoke to Calus in his own voice. Taught him how to commune. His councilors work to isolate and contact the Entity that speaks.

;Scorpius Turret
*'''Caiatl:''' A Scorpius Turret. Its munitions are spent. The battle report shows skirmishes across the ship, battling several containment breaches. Still, Calus pressed on.

;Incendior pack
*'''Osiris:''' A refuse heap. Darkness, soot, Ether... They were burning the spent Scorn to ash.

*'''Caiatl:''' Cabal regalia tracks combat data. I can assess this... An Incendiata, deployed to halt the Scorn reanimation. The Incendiata was later embedded with a team sent to detonate the ship's reactor.

*'''Osiris:''' They rose on their own? That is a new and concerning development.

*'''Caiatl:''' Resurrection does not make one invulnerable. Your kind taught us that. These orders did not come from Calus.

'''Dead Cheftain'''
*'''Caiatl''': Calus's surgeons experimented on the Scorn. Cranial dissections. Dark Ether drownings to engorge them.

*'''Osiris''': Psions carved telepathic imprints into their brains. Linked them together in shared consciousness. Their collective mind was then opened through an artifact. A crown... of possession.

*'''Caiatl:''' All to exploit their connection to the Darkness. Had Calus seen Torobatl fall, as I did, would he have learned then?

;Dead Ghost
*'''Osiris:''' A Ghost was injured here. The remnants of its Light pooled around a Dark center. A memory, preserved in physical form.

*'''Unknown Guardian:''' You said you wouldn't... you promised. Everything you say is a lie! [gunshot]

'''Chalice of Opulence'''
*'''Osiris:''' A chalice of opulence. The inscription reads: "To my captain, cast your shadow in the face of Darkness, that you might drink of its beauty and grow fat."

*'''Caiatl:''' Your Guardian was a traitor, then. Seduced by Calus's posturing. Like so many powerful fools who think themselves invincible.

|title3=Week 3
|content3=
'''Frame'''
*'''Osiris:''' Our lost Guardian must have sent this frame to broadcast their distress signal.

*'''Caiatl:''' This interface is of Human design.

*'''Osiris:''' It recounts a descent into the anomaly... Gravitational oscillations broke and reformed the Glykon many times over. It is as if every permutation of the ship's existence collided in one space.

'''Array'''
*'''Caiatl:''' This array contains research logs: The Entity's Voice emanates from the grave of Mars. The Scorn babble to the void and attentively await response. Our emperor's vision is at hand. Tomorrow, we pierce the anomaly's veil. We are ready. We have communed and are adrift between worlds. It controls the lower decks. Dragging the flame. Dead whispers in the walls. There is no way back…

'''Amsot log'''
*'''Osiris:''' Scribe Amsot states, "The emperor shows us we chase a mirage. The Darkness is nothing but a great basin of formless thoughts. A vast tangle of composting chaos." Calus seeks the Entity who speaks through the Darkness.

*'''Caiatl:''' The Darkness is a primal force? Wielded — like the Light? How simple.

*'''Osiris:''' Able to be brandished against Xivu Arath?

*'''Caiatl:''' And fall into the burrow of an ambush predator? Like Umun. Like Eramis. I think not. But tools can be broken. Forces can be stopped, and those who wield them can be disarmed.

'''Imperial supplies'''
*'''Caiatl:''' So… this is where they died. Their sacrifice is noted. Their names will be honored.

*'''Osiris:''' Why were they sent?

*'''Caiatl:''' Accessing the Glykon's mainframe required a direct connection.

==Trivia==
*Despite the mission previously being accessed through the Tangled Shore on the Director, the animation that displays your ship dropping into orbit has a unique background.
**This likely has to do with the fact that Presage takes place on the Glykon, not on the Tangled Shore.
*The description of the Master version mentioned the presence of [[Champions]], but none appeared in the mission, as the Scorn had yet to receive theirs.
