→Unlocking Clovis' Journal
| Line 207: | Line 207: | ||
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.

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 | 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.

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"/> | ||

Upon returning to camp, Elsie sent a message to Ana explaining everything and hoped that her sister would join them and understand.<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-11 Key to the Truth 11]''</ref> Going through the new data, Elsie learned of sickening experiments done by her grandfather and that he had discovered that traces of the Darkness resided in all life. However, he also found ways to enhance Stasis even though he could not use it. Seeking to find this information, Elsie asked the Young Wolf to charge the key once more.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_3|Born in Darkness Part 3]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth Key to the Truth]''</ref> | |||
After they finished, Elsie invited them and Ana to meet her in a [[Concealed Void|lab]] buried beneath the [[Asterion Abyss]]. Reunited with Ana, she explained much of their history and their grandfather's crimes, shocking her sister. Ana was upset that Elsie had avoided her for so long and was confused by the Young Wolf's presence. Elsie explained that they were part of why she had brought her there and had them unlock the next set of journal entries. After it decrypted, Elsie noted it was exactly the information on Stasis they needed, but Ana was disturbed by their use of Darkness despite Elsie's attempt to explain it was just a tool that could be controlled. She tried to explain that it did not end well before, but this slip was noted by Ana and Elsie explained the truth of the other timeline to her. Apologizing for hiding so much from her, Elsie told Ana she now believed that the best thing she could do for her was be in her life now. Ana admitted that she was happy Elsie was alive, but that everything else was too much to handle at the moment and transmatted away as Elsie tried to stop her. The Ghost reassured her that honesty had been the right choice, but Elsie was unsure and departed to look into the new research.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_3|Born in Darkness Part 3]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-4 Key to the Truth 4]''</ref> | |||
Elsie was soon visited once more by the Young Wolf. Confiding in them that she was concerned she had told Ana too much too quickly, Elsie also realized that they did not have the luxury of time to ease her into these revelations. Worried that this was to be another failed timeline if Ana did not come around, she shook off those doubts by noting all that was now different, including the Young Wolf, and passed along her newest discoveries about Stasis.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_3|Born in Darkness Part 3]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-5 Key to the Truth 5]''</ref> | |||
