Transcript

I've been observing the energy coming from the Traveler, and... it's not good. While we've been doing everything we can to heal the Traveler, the Witness' push to complete the final shape hasn't slowed. I have one Ghost left for us to find, and then we can't afford to lose any more time. I'm sending you to find Hecate, a scholar in Hive lore, who once studied under Toland, the Shattered and Eris Morn. Hecate was investigating a rumor that members of House Dusk were moving back into the old House of Devils territory in the Cosmodrome. The House of Devils have been gone for a long time, though. There has to be something else going on. Good hunting, Guardian.

Step 2

Search for Ghost telemetry in strike "Devils' Lair" in the Cosmodrome.

• Coordinates found

---

Ghost: Well, this brings back memories. The Cosmodrome always does. I guess it's appropriate, then, that we end where we began.

See The Devils' Lair - The Desperation for transcript

Step 3

Search the Cosmodrome for signs of Hecate.

• Orders read

---

Micah-10: There's a tale of a Guardian and a Ghost that have walked together through insurmountable odds. Ghosts love that one. Maybe I'll tell it to you some time.

Notes

Hecate can be found in the Gateway surrounded by statues of Guardians, humans, cars and Pyramidal structures.

Step 4

Return to the Arbor of Light in the Pale Heart to restore the Lost Ghost.

• Ghost Restored

---

Micah-10: Hecate could use a little boost of extra Light to get her on her way. Thankfully, we have an abundant source on hand in the Arbor.

Step 5

Return to the Arbor of Light to discuss next steps.

• Micah-10 Visited

---

Micah-10: Come on back to the Arbor, we can discuss your findings.

Transcript

Hecate is back with us, and not a moment too soon. Whatever was happening in the old Devils' Lair will need to wait. The Vanguard are rallying our forces together for the final push. I've sent Hecate out to aid with healing the Traveler, but... [sighs] There's not much time left. I can feel the tension here winding to a breaking point. I can feel the universe crackling under the strain. The final shape is upon us, and I can only pray that we've done enough to fight back against it. It's time to mobilize. Eyes up, Guardian.
