| '''(Mission Begins)'''
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Zavala]]:''' Not long ago, we detected a massive burst of Vex activity on Io. Inside the Pyramidion. We need eyes in that structure, Guardian. Get moving.
| |
|
| |
| '''The Guardians approach The Pyramidion.'''
| |
|
| |
| '''The Guardians defeat the Vex they encounter. The Shuttered Mind appears.'''<br>
| |
| '''The Shuttered Mind is defeated. The Guardians enter a Vex portal and encounter the Vex fighting against the Taken.'''
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Ghost]]:''' We've discovered the cause of the Vex high alert. There's a Taken incursion in progress inside the Pyramidion.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Zavala:''' Taken. Any sense of their objective?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' Unclear for the moment. Stand by.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' There's a giant Vex sphere in this chamber. Like the ones on Nessus, but colossal. And there's a door leading inside. That could very well be the Taken's objective.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Zavala:''' Their first major offensive since the Dreaming City. Get inside that sphere. We need to know what they're after.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' Every square inch of interior surface area in this sphere is coursing with energy. Let me see what I can find out. Scanning…
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' Zavala. This whole sphere is a dedicated processing structure. A giant Vex computational array.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Zavala:''' What could the Taken want with a Vex computer?
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Eris Morn]]:''' The Taken want nothing.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Zavala:''' Eris. Eavesdropping, I see.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Eris Morn:''' Don't bother guessing the Taken's intentions. Ask instead what is sought by the hand that directs them.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' This Blight… does it look familiar to you. Like the Blight in the Dreaming City?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Eris Morn:''' Savathûn extends her reach at last.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Zavala:''' Savathûn? What makes you so certain?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Eris Morn:''' There's no certainty where the Witch Queen is concerned. But I have strong suspicions. Above all, she seeks knowledge to inform her plans and seeks pawns to carry them out. The sphere offers both.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' Taken influence is thicker down here. They're not trying to break in - they're infesting from the inside out. There must be some anchoring Blight nearby. If we're really unlucky… a portal to an Ascendant Realm.
| |
|
| |
| '''The Guardians enter a circular area with a massive Taken Blight in the middle.'''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' There. That must be the anchor - the Taken's route into the sphere. Destroy it!
| |
|
| |
| '''Taken Blight is destroyed.'''<br>
| |
| '''Baurisk, Envoy of Savathûn appears and defeated by the Guardians.'''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ghost:''' We killed the Taken commander and secured the central sphere. I think the Vex can handle the rest.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Eris Morn:''' Savathûn is gathering her strength, Zavala. If we hope to survive what's to come, we must prepare.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Zavala:''' We defeated Oryx. If Savathûn wants a fight, she'll get one.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Eris Morn:''' She is not as foolhardy as her brother. She would never risk a direct confrontation. We will know her next move only when she makes it - and only if we're wise enough to recognize it.
