Transcript
(Mission Begins)


 * Zavala: Time for me to step out. Cayde, I leave it to you.


 * Cayde-6: OK, fireteam: there's a lot to cover as your official operative in the strike against Bracus Zahn, so we'd better get started. Item the first:


 * Hawthorne: Strike's been started for a while.


 * Cayde: ...Huh.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Usually for an operation like this, Zavala provides logistical support. But it sounds like it’s just us this time around.


 * Cayde: Hawthorne, where’d you put my datapad? It had the notes about that thing I’m in charge of.


 * Hawthorne: You mean the Bracus Zahn strike that’s already running? Off to a great start, Mr. Vanguard.

Or alternatively


 * Zavala: Into the action right away. I’m not surprised. Cayde, you’re up.


 * Cayde: Whoa, wait wait wait, I’m not ready! I had a whole thing for this Zahn guy — I had charts and pictures — you know what, the one time I get it all — geez, forget it. You know what, just forget it.

The Guardians head towards a console for Ghost to scan.


 * Ghost: All the paths to the rest of the base are shut tight, but get me to a console and I’ll take care of that.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: No more enemies in here. There are plenty outside, though. Get me to a console, and we’ll get out there.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: We need to get further into the base. If I can access their network...

Ghost hacks into their network to bypass security and open up the doors to their base.


 * Ghost: Door’s unlocked. But I couldn’t get through without tripping their master alarm.


 * Hawthorne: Not a trade I would have made, but you’re the one on the ground.


 * Cayde: Come on, how bad could one little alarm be?


 * Ghost: Very bad.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Uh… turns out Zahn’s network is different from the Red Legion’s.


 * Cayde: Good different or bad different?


 * Hawthorne: Did I just see a FLARE shoot into the sky?


 * Ghost: Look, let’s not get into what might have shot into the sky and which enemy just summoned a bunch of reinforcements.


 * Hawthorne: He sounds like you.


 * Cayde: Aww, thank you!

Or alternatively


 * Cayde: Did you shoot up a flare? I though we weren’t allowed to have flares anymore after I… had nothing to do with why we’re not allowed to have flares.


 * Ghost: It wasn’t us! They must have detected me in their network.


 * Hawthorne: Then I’d get ready for reinforcements. A lot of reinforcements.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: We’re through. And I’ve made things more exciting.


 * Cayde: Don't sound so down, little guy. Fireteams are built for excitement!

Ghost detects Solar energy


 * Ghost: Wait a minute — there’s a high concentration of solar energy over there!

Or alternatively


 * Hawthorne: Scanners show reinforcements coming.


 * Ghost: That last harvester exposed an active fuel cell. Maybe we can use it!


 * Cayde: Attaboy.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: That tank just exposed a solar fuel cell!

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Thanks for moving that tank out of the way. Head for that solar fuel cell!

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: That last tank didn’t finish refueling before it got airlifted out.


 * Cayde: Amanda told me Cabal fuel makes a pretty good accelerant.

The Guardians aquire the Solar fuel cell.


 * Hawthorne: What’s that hissing noise?


 * Cayde: That’s me! I must have… Oh, wait a minute. Nope not me.


 * Ghost: It’s us! He’s carrying the fuel cell!


 * Cayde: Nice!

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Why would you pick it up?!


 * Cayde: So he can find where it’ll do the most damage. Smart.


 * Ghost: Is it?!

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Great! Grab it, and… uh, what’s the plan, here?


 * Cayde: Plan, schman. Take the radioactive thing, put in explode-y place. There! There's your plan.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: There’s an exhaust vent nearby, but I don’t know how long you want to hold onto that thing!

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Ok. I didn’t mean for you to pick it up! But we’ll work with this.


 * Hawthorne: Is this what “be brave” means for you Guardians? Didn’t know it was a prayer.


 * Cayde: A true Guardian grabs the danger and walks around with it.

Or alternatively


 * Hawthorne: I can’t believe it. You were right. He grabbed it.


 * Cayde: It’s what I would have done.


 * Hawthorne: It’s not what ANYONE should have done!

The Guardians fight past the Red Legion and deposit the fuel cell to dismantle their barrier.


 * Ghost: Nice work! That should take care of the barrier!

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: We did it! And we didn’t blow up.


 * Cayde: Yeah, not blowing up is as good as you can hope for sometimes.


 * Hawthorne: Way to reach for the stars.

Or alternatively


 * Cayde: Sounded like a nice dunk!


 * Hawthorne: “Dunk”?


 * Cayde: Yeah, it’s what we Guardians call it when we jam a radioactive fuel cell into an exhaust vent. You wouldn’t understand.

The Guardians battle more of Zahn's lieutenants and traverse deeper into the base of Legion's Anchor.


 * Ghost: Still haven’t been able to track down Zahn. Cabal usually LIKE to be found.


 * Cayde: This guy's no ordinary space rhino. His weapons ain't half bad, either.


 * Hawthorne: Those weapons have snuffed out too many good people.


 * Cayde: Oh, don't get me wrong. He'll still deserve whatever this fireteam gives him. They always do.

Or alternatively 


 * Ghost: Zahn’s lieutenants aren’t messing around. Think we’ve seen the last of them?


 * Hawthorne: He’s bound to have more. Insecure men tend to surround themselves with others like them.


 * Ghost: Cayde? Anything to add?


 * Cayde: Nope, she’s totally right. Which is why I work alone.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: The ship is still here!


 * Cayde: Zahn moved in after you put Thumos down. Surprised he hasn’t painted the place chartreuse to match his armor.


 * Hawthorne: I’m sorry, painted it what now?


 * Cayde: Ah… nothing.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: Well, THIS looks familiar.


 * Cayde: Yeah, funny story about the Oh-roh? Oh-roh… Oh-roh-bahn… uh…


 * Hawthorne: Cabal and their weird ship names. Think it was the “Orobas Vectura.”


 * Cayde: Yeah, that one. Zahn moved in after you put Thumos out to pasture. He’s in there somewhere.

Or alternatively


 * Ghost: A tank — for us? Hawthorne, you shouldn’t have!


 * Cayde: Amanda would want me to remind you to call it the Drake.


 * Hawthorne: I think you should call it “payback.”
