Ghost scan

Ghost scans are a feature introduced in The Taken King, and present in Rise of Iron and Destiny 2. When near a scannable object, the player can interact with it to send Ghost to scan it. After the scan is complete, Ghost will provide a brief commentary on the object.

The Taken King

 * Ghost scans do not have official titles, and to reduce the complexity of inventing and remembering relevant titles for each scan a simple system of reference has been used in this table of XXXX-YYYY-0000, where X is an abbreviation of the planetary location, YYYY represents the actual map on the aforementioned planet the scannable item is located, and 0000 is simply the number given to the scan purely as it was uploaded into this list and has no logical value beyond differentiating the different scans on the same map.
 * Hive and Taken are closely related, and as such until they are radically differentiated in the game and in the lore instead of being allied forces of the same faction as they are now, all Hive and Taken related entries are tagged under Hive to limit clutter and confusion.
 * Where multiple distinct parties are concerned within an entry, it is tagged as "Multiple." Where there is no clear subject or topic the scan is simply tagged as "Indeterminate."
 * Actual in-game dialogue and subtitles occasionally differ; where appropriate, in-game dialogue takes precedence.

Destiny 2

 * Almost all of these scans are taken from a human Hunter character aligned with Dead Orbit, except the scans noted as requiring an Exo. Some scans are confirmed to react differently depending on whether or not the player is a Human/Awoken or an Exo (NE-TAN-1, and IO-TBC-2), or is aligned with Dead Orbit, Future War Cult or the New Monarchy factions (SPECIAL series 1-4). The Veteran status of a player profile affects scans and mission dialogue, with some scans such as NE-MST-3 assuming canonical completion by The Guardian (not the player themselves) of end game content such as the Trials of Osiris. Scans with multiple variations are prefixed with a " \ " allowing all variable texts to be grouped together in searches under this \ prefix.

Arach Jalaal: "This enigma troubles me. If it is valuable it will draw enemies and sow dissent. We will study it closely."

Executor Hideo: "What an intriguing mystery. We shall treat your find with reverence, Guardian."

Lakshmi-2: "A fragment of our past, touched by the Traveler in the present... I see beautiful futures spiralling out of this."

Arach Jalaal: "Perhaps this strange material will be useful to us as we refit our ships. It has promise."

Executor Hideo: "In the old days, kings were made by such discoveries. Swords in stones, and all that. New Monarchy will use this carefully."

Lakshmi-2: "We predicted an object of great worth in the wilderness. Likewise, we predicted that you would find it. And here you are."

Arach Jalaal: "An intriguing find. Ordinarily I am not interested in the flotsam of our past, but this - this points to a future."

Executor Hideo: "This must be what happens when ancient tech meets terraforming processes. New Monarchy thanks you for the specimen."

Lakshmi-2: "What you have found lies at the intersection of multiple timelines. It should let us explore uncalculable probabilities. Well done."

Arach Jalaal: "See how the Traveler crushes and breaks everything it touches. This is valuable evidence that we are not safe here."

Executor Hideo: "A fragment of the Golden Age, transformed by the Traveler's energies? This has great potential. We will investigate."

Lakshmi-2: "Ah yes, this will do nicely. It seems the Traveler's awakening has brought mysteries to the surface."
