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>

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]].<ref name="presageMission">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Mission]]: [[Presage|Exotic Quest: Presage]]''</ref>

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.
As the Guardian makes their way inside the ship, fluorescent spores and [[Egregore]] fauna infest the interior. Moving deeper within the carrier, it is revealed that a number of [[Scorn|Corrupted Scorn]] are aboard the ship. After escaping a trash compactor, the Guardian encounters the [[Locus of Communion]], the mutated result of Calus' attempts at communing with the [[Darkness]] through the [[Crown of Sorrow]].<ref name="presageMission"></ref> Once the rescue team had successfully navigated through the hangar area, they began to hear the voices of the dead. The Guardian eventually tracked the Locus of Communion down and successfully defeated it.


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.<ref name="presageMission"></ref>
Upon exiting the boiler room, it is revealed that Katabasis died and his mutated corpse is now strung up by the Egregore. Picking up the Dead Man's Tale scout rifle ends the activity.

==Transcript==
 
''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 to 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.''

==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.
