With the Young Wolf now firmly on Elsie's side and in control of | With the Young Wolf now firmly on Elsie's side and in control of Stasis, Elsie revealed her true identity to them. She explained that in order to fully unlock the secrets of the Darkness so they could teach the rest of humanity to safely use it they would need to unlock the secrets left behind in her grandfather [[Clovis Bray I]]'s journal. She explained to them that he may have claimed to be attempting to save the world through the Darkness, but in fact cared only for his legacy. Handing them the skeleton key used to lock his journal, Elsie tasked them with gathering Darkness energy to power it.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_1|Born in Darkness Part 1]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-8 Key to the Truth 8]''</ref> As they built up its power, Elsie recommended they finish doing so by eliminating a House Salvation Captain named [[Weniks, Salvation Elite|Weniks]] in the [[Bray Exoscience]] building.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_1|Born in Darkness Part 1]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-6 Key to the Truth 6]''</ref> With Weniks dead, Elsie directed them to meet her in [[Bunker E15]] to unlock the first part of Clovis I's journal.<ref name="BID1P4">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_1|Born in Darkness Part 1]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-7 Key to the Truth 7]''</ref> | ||
Meeting the Young Wolf in the Bunker, Elsie found a picture of herself and Ana as children. She admitted how strange it was that the two of them remained alive, with her wishing she did not remember her past while Ana desperately searched for it and Elsie avoided her. Directing them to unlock the journal, Elsie noted that Clovis was so obsessed with his legacy that he recorded everything, including the darker elements of his actions and the bodies he buried. She derisively accused historians of calling men like her grandfather great while ignoring the atrocities they committed. Admitting that the knowledge of Clovis I being a tyrant was one reason she had kept Ana from learning the truth as Elsie did not believe she was ready to hear it, Elsie claimed that who he was did not matter now and that all they needed was his research. Thanking them for their help, Elsie departed to continue working on finding more entries to the journal.<ref name="BID1P4"/> Returning to her camp, Elsie sent them a message apologizing for her abrupt departure, noting that talking about her family made her uncomfortable and that she hoped to reunite with Ana one day. She discovered that the digital copy of the journal contained far more information than the physical copy she found in her original timeline and passed along the Darkness research to the Young Wolf.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_1|Born in Darkness Part 1]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-10 Key to the Truth 10]''</ref> | Meeting the Young Wolf in the Bunker, Elsie found a picture of herself and Ana as children.

Explaining more of the Bray family's past to the Young Wolf, Elsie speculated that Clovis I's journal was encrypted to hide its contents from her. Determined to extract some good from all the suffering he caused she directed her friend to charge up the key once more using Vex [[Radiolaria|radiolarian fluid]] and Darkness energy to unlock the next portion of the journal.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_2|Born in Darkness Part 2]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-15 Key to the Truth 15]''</ref> Once it was charge, Elsie requested the Young Wolf meet her in [[Perdition]] to unlock the next entry, and upon their arrival she directed them to a nearby console. With the next entry unlocked she made another confession to the Young Wolf, explaining Ana's history with the Bray family and her fall to Darkness in the original timeline. The Guardian and their Ghost were shocked that Elsie had killed her own sister, whom they had befriended a few years prior. Distraught, Elsie admitted to missing her sister and that she did not know she was alive in this timeline in the belief that it would prevent her from falling to the Darkness by never learning her past. However, she now realized that obsession drove people to the Darkness, as it had done to Eris and Eramis, and that she did not want Ana to fall to the Darkness due to her obsession with learning her past and thus must reveal the truth to her. The decryption then finished and Elsie was pleased with the new research that they unlocked while noting there was much left to decipher. She intended that Ana would be with them next time and departed with a promise to contact the Young Wolf when she figured out what to do next.<ref name="BID2P4"/> | |||
