Transcript

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

• Zavala: Eris, have you pinpointed Caiatl's position?

• Eris Morn: No, but I have inserted the Guardian near her drop pod's breach point. We will find her. I'll keep you informed of the situation as it develops.

• Zavala: Move quickly. She may be in danger.

The Guardian clears a route to the Leviathan's engines. They encounter Val Parthas and Bracus Lume fighting Loyalists and Scorn.

• Caiatl: What are you doing, Guardian? This conquest is mine. Fight Calus's Loyalists alongside my soldiers if you must, but do not assist me.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: Tell me the Vanguard doesn't hold your reins, Caiatl!

• Eris Morn: Without the binding, you are vulnerable! At least wait for the Guardian!

• Nightmare of Ghaul: Do you hear her doubt? She disrespects you. They all do.

• Caiatl: My throne cannot be challenged by what we were, or what others want us to be. There is one Cabal. All others will submit or fall. I'm ready for you!

The Guardian plants the first resonance beacon.

• Eris Morn: Caiatl was not bound with us; amplifiers may not help her. Our time is better served making sure she isn't killed.

The Guardian finds a Hammer of Proving.

• Eris Morn: A Hammer of Proving, commemorating Ghaul's joining the Red Legion.

• Caiatl: Your Ghaul is a monster, but mine is a legend. A pit fighter who climbed the Red Legion, then led an armada to shatter the Last City. Proof that fate could be defied and brought to submit. I thought I could do that.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: But you didn't. You brought words instead of fire.

• Caiatl: I was taught to hone my mind.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: But Ghaul taught you your mind was a weapon!

Optus Ulios arrives to aid the Guardian.

The Guardian is trapped in the engine room.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: I thought I'd beaten Calus's softness from you.

• Caiatl: My shield held the line as our people evacuated Torobatl! My shield!

• Nightmare of Ghaul: You retreated. Death before dishonor, Caiatl. You used to know that.

The Guardian incinerates the contaminant.

• Eris Morn: Turbines halting. The severance site is not far, and now the way is open. Go! Cabal pride be damned!

• Nightmare of Ghaul: The Lightspawn ignores your commands. They have forgotten Cabal dominance.

• Caiatl: You are mine, Dominus. But if they wish to see you beaten, I won't deny them.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: Bring the Guardian, then. I will gladly remind them what fear feels like.

The Guardian approaches Caiatl.

• Caiatl: Get on with it.

Caiatl and the Guardian begin the severance ritual.

• Caiatl: [grunts] In my youth, I watched you cut your way to the top of the fighting pits like a bloodied idol. I thought you were magnificent.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: What did you learn watching me rise?

• Caiatl: Tenacity. Ruthlessness. Guile. The same crude tools the Hive brought to our home.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: Tools you cast away when desperation drove you to beg. You grovel to our enemies for protection, like Calus's gorged aristocrats when the coup crashed on their doors.

• Caiatl: Your way proved inadequate to save our people. How can you not see that?

• Nightmare of Ghaul: I see our home burning under your banner. Weakness runs in your blood. I will show you myself.

The Guardian battles with the Nightmare of Ghaul.

• Caiatl: What's taking so long?

• Eris Morn: Keep to your task.

The Guardian defeats the Nightmare.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: GHAUL conquered this system! Ghaul exiled Calus! Ghaul broke the Traveler's will! You have squandered my victories with your ineptitude. You're not the Caiatl I trained. She was feared as a star pilot, dreaded with a cleaver. A warrior. Where is she?

• Caiatl: She died, smoldering in the ashes of Torobatl. Your lessons with her.

• Nightmare of Ghaul: Then that is where she will stay.

• Eris Morn: Caiatl, without the binding ritual… it is as I feared. We must abandon this.

• Caiatl: I don't need a Hive-tainted witch to explain my failure.

• Eris Morn: Then I won't.
