{{Quote|I've seen it before. On the Glykon. On the Leviathan. On my own ship, too. An organism that's all about forming psychic connections.|[[Drifter|The Drifter]]}} | |||

{{Quote| In my haste to find a suitable bearer for the Crown of Sorrow, I failed to see a more elegant solution. The Hive were not those who could most elegantly bear the Crown. My Shadow, Katabasis, found the alternative. Mindless corpses of Fallen, risen through an Ahamkara's wish magic, fuelled by Darkness-infused Ether... the Scorn. The only component that was missing was a connective tissue, and this, the Egregore spores would provide.|Emperor Calus.}} | {{Quote|In my haste to find a suitable bearer for the Crown of Sorrow, I failed to see a more elegant solution.

When the [[Black Fleet]] arrives in the [[Sol System]], Calus wishes to commune with the [[The Witness|Witness]]. At the suggestion of his [[Shadow]] [[Guardian]] [[Katabasis]] and collaborator [[Qinziq]], he elected to connect the [[Crown of Sorrow]] to the minds of [[Scorn]], using Egregore to form a connection. His repeated communion attempts took place upon the carrier [[Glykon Volatus]], which became increasingly overrun with egregore.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 8 - Acheron's Wall|Captain's Log: ENTRY 8 - Acheron's Wall]]''</ref>. After the vessel plunged into the nothingness over [[Mars]] and resurfaced weeks later near the [[Tangled Shore]], the fungus had grown exponentially, festering within the corpses scattered in the ship and forming psychic barriers impenetrable to those that haven't breathed its spores. | When the [[Black Fleet]] arrives in the [[Sol System]], Calus wishes to commune with the [[The Witness|Witness]].

{{Quote|This ship was once so full of a specific kind of life, vascular and wet: flesh, meat, bone. Now, new life flourishes in the dark.|Emperor Calus, speaking about the Egregore infestation aboard the Leviathan.}} | |||
After returning from the Darkness anomaly located where [[Mercury]] once was, [[Calus]]' Leviathan reappeared in orbit around the Moon, heavily overgrown with egregore and overrun with [[Nightmares]]. The [[Loyalists]] and [[Scorn]] residing in the vessel were also infested with the fungus, which allowed the Emperor to control most of them directly. Calus intended use the egregore aboard the vessel to form a psychic link between himself and the derelict [[The Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]] located underneath the [[Scarlet Keep]], and succeeded despite [[The Coalition]]'s efforts. | After returning from the Darkness anomaly located where [[Mercury]] once was, [[Calus]]' Leviathan reappeared in orbit around the Moon, heavily overgrown with egregore and overrun with [[Nightmares]].

{{Quote|Hey there, hero. While you were taking a dip in the methane, I detected something on the ocean floor... and it ain't native to Titan.|The Drifter.}} | |||
Following Titan's reappearance after having been taken by the Witness, the Drifter discovered egregore growing in the depths of the moon's methane ocean, in the form of coral. He managed to retrofit a number of his [[Gambit]] related equipment to extract and consume the corals. These would be used by [[Sloane]] to strenghen the psychic connection she formed with [[Ahsa]], a fugitive proto-[[Worm]] that wished to bestow great insight about the Witness to the [[Vanguard]]. | Following Titan's reappearance after having been taken by the Witness, the Drifter discovered egregore growing in the depths of the moon's methane ocean, in the form of coral.
