''All dialogue is spoken through the [[Ghost]]'s comms.''

'''{Loading Screen}'''

*'''[[Petra Venj]]''': The [[House of Kings]] is unique among the Fallen. They are secretive, dangerous. They hide in the shadow of the Cosmodrome...waiting...plotting. If [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]] can bring the House of Kings under his banner, we're all in trouble. I'm game--(radio static)...damn. I'm getting a lot of interference down there. Hold tight, [[The Guardian|Guardian]]. 
'''
{Gameplay}'''

*'''Petra''': Guardian...(heavy static) I'm [losing you.] Try to find the source of the [interference] and stop it. 

''[[Variks, the Loyal]]' voice comes in through another channel, clear and completely free of interference.''

*'''Variks, the Loyal''': Skolas jamming signals with [[Wolf High Servitor|High Servitors]]. [[Reef Wars|Reef War]] Tactic...(snarls) advanced warfare. May fool Petra. Does not fool me. I shall be your guide. 

''The Guardian fights their way through the [[Grottos]], where a large scale battle rages between the Fallen Wolves and [[Hive]]. A Wolf High Servitor is floating at the far end of the caves, guarded by several [[Stealth Vandal]]s.''

*'''Variks''': Servitor is source of interference. Kill it dead. 

''The Guardian wipes out the Fallen and destroys the Servitor.''

*'''Variks''': Signal still corrupted! Wolves must have second Servitor. Push forward...(growls) find the source. 

''The Guardian runs through the tunnels, heading to the [[Refinery]].''

*'''Variks''': I was [[House of Judgment|House Judgment]] scribe to House Wolves. Skolas was vicious, even for a Fallen [[Kell]]. I could not stomach his hate. 

''The Guardian finds more groups of Fallen and Hive fighting each other. Now members of the House of Kings have joined the battle, putting aside their rivalry in the face of a common foe. The Guardian kills all enemies in their way before moving on, finding the second Servitor.''

*'''Variks''': It...is good to work with you—with Petra. All that are Fallen are not lost...yes? Signal close. Can you see it? 

''The Guardian locates and destroys the second Servitor. Petra's signal starts to clear as she can be heard.''

*'''Petra''': Excellent! Whatever you did, your signal's coming through loud and clear now. Variks, are you with us?
    
*'''Variks''': Yes, yes, I am here. (growls) Kings will see Wolf pack as well. They will not be pleased. 

*'''Petra''': The Wolves are approaching an old command center beyond the [[Rocketyard]]. That must be where the Kings are hidden.

''The Guardian emerges into the Rocketyard and reaches an old abandoned building next door. Fallen are guarding the entrance.''

*'''Petra''': At the battle of [[Twilight Gap]], the [[House of Devils|Devils]], the Kings and the [[House of Winter]] joined forces to take on [[The City]]. The House of Wolves could have turned the tide for the Fallen, but my [[Mara Sov|Queen]] interfered.

''The Guardian kills enemies and charges forward into the [[King's Watch]].''

*'''Variks''': You are here to deny Skolas House Kings. They will not know. And they would not care. They will try to kill you. Kill them back. If Kings detected House Wolves before attack, Skolas may have met his match.
   
*'''Petra''': I'm detecting lots of activity from the command center. I think you dropped the Servitor jamming just in time. 

''The Guardian fights their way through several groups of Fallen as they ascend the building. They eventually come across two King [[Baron]]s and a Wolf Baron intently watching a holographic map of the Traveler and a battalion of Fallen surrounding them. Eventually, the Guardian kills them all.''

*'''Petra''': The Wolves are dead. And the Kings—well, they're still a danger to the City, but at least they don't work for Skolas. I call that a win. Come on back, Guardian.
