| Sekrion oversees the [[Vex]]'s projects involving the [[Nexus]] on [[Venus]], terraforming the planet into an [[Machine World|expansion]] of the Vex network from beneath the crust using its impressive computational capacity to coordinate between [[Minotaur]]s operating in the construction role. However, a fireteam of [[Guardian]]s was dispatched by [[Ikora Rey]] to end the Axis Mind and hamper the Vex effort to incorporate the entire planet into their network. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', [[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Strike]]: [[The Nexus]]</ref>

| Sekrion's loss brought a major setback to the Vex on Venus as the planet's conversion is halted, prompting the [[Weavers|Weaver]] [[Theosyion, the Restorative Mind]] to bridge time and bringing the Vex Mind back from the past to resume its duties. Its efforts were however uncovered by Ikora and the Guardians sent to destroy Theosyion, preventing any alternate outcome that would replace Sekrion's destruction. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQD1lLYizek '''Youtube''': Destiny The Taken King Infosplosion: Level 40, New Quest System - Game Informer Reveal]</ref><ref>[http://www.twitch.tv/playstation/v/15251482 '''Twitch''': ''PlayStation - Destiny: The Taken King Exclusive Content Reveal'']</ref> | |

| | The Vex still continue to struggle since their numerous losses to the various forces of the Solar System, namely the [[Guardians]] and the [[Taken]]. To counter the Guardians and restart the process of turning Venus into one of their machines, the Vex use powers and technology found in the [[Vault of Glass]] to repair the Nexus Mind. [[Cayde-6]] refers to this plan being a fearful, desperate plan for the [[Vex]]. |

| However, [[Ikora Rey]]'s [[Hidden]] intelligence discovers this plan and so organizes the [[Guardian]]s to destroy it before it can complete its work, all while dealing with the remaining Taken on Venus. After being guided by Ikora and Cayde-6, the Guardians reach the restored Nexus Mind, which was corrupted by the [[Taken]], becoming '''Sekrion, Subverted Mind'''. Despite its restored chassis and newly upgraded abilities, the Taken Vex Mind is destroyed once again. | | However, [[Ikora Rey]]'s [[Hidden]] intelligence discovers this plan and so organizes the [[Guardians]] to destroy it before it can complete its work.

| In the Revisited version of the strike, Sekrion makes a return as the final boss. Once again, it stays in the center of the arena, pounding [[Guardian]]s from afar with its [[Aeon Maul]]. It has gained a special mechanic: like the [[Oracle]]s, if you get Marked by the Void then every Guardian must step in a pool of Light to remove the debuff, or else die after your screen goes completely black. Alternatively, in the [[Taken]] version of this strike has players remove Sekrion's shield by firing an Aegis at him so [[Guardian]]s can defeat him. | | In the Revisited version of the strike, Sekrion makes a return as the final boss.

| ====Sekrion, Subverted Mind====
| |
| As with any Taken Hydra, Sekrion will have no shield by default, leaving it vulnerable to attack. Just like its Vex counterpart, it will stay in the center of the arena and open fire on [[Guardian]]s using its [[Aeon Maul]]. However, every so often, Sekrion will activate a barrier around itself that can only be taken down by the [[Super]] attack of the [[Aegis]] shield relic from the Vault of Glass, which will spawn in different spots along the edge of this arena. Applying the same mechanic used during the Templar encounter from the Vault of Glass, one player must pick up the Aegis shield to begin charging the relic's super, then blast Sekrion's barrier once it's at full charge. This will deactivate Sekrion's barrier, initiating a damage phase. The Aegis will immediately despawn from the players hands after each use and respawn in another random spot along the outer ring of the arena. Players will need to coordinate Aegis blasts and damage phases while maintaining control over waves of "lesser" enemies to put an end to Sekrion. As always, rinse and repeat.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Taken version of the Nexus Mind bears a striking resemblance to the [[Seditious Mind]].
| |
| *Sekrion is the only Strike boss to both be [[Taken]] in one variant of the mission, and to be normal in another.
