Transcript
(Mission Begins)


 * Zavala: The Taken have occupied an old water facility near your location. Not to be outdone, the Fallen are attempting to seize it from them by force.
 * Devrim Kay: The Fallen are an afterthought. Whatever the Taken are doing here, they are contaminating the water supply. You don't want to see the pot of tea I made this morning.
 * Zavala: Civilians are depending on you. Operation Stormcoat has begun.

 * Zavala: Mobilizing fireteam for Operation, uh... Babydog? Why does this say Babydog? I must have forgotten to reboot the strike name generator.
 * Devrim: Operation "Babydog?" Well, it has a certain ring to it, huh?
 * Zavala: Yes... "Babydog". Well, the strike protocol is already running. Can't stop it now. Devrim?
 * Devrim: Yes, sorry. Fireteam "Babydog" the Taken are polluting the EDZ. We need to determine the source of — Haha! — I'm sorry, I can't... Stand-by, fireteam.
 * Devrim: One of my teams reported Taken energy infecting the water supply. Our purification tech can only do so much. If the contamination spreads, people will die.
 * Ghost: Destroying the Blight destroyed the Taken miasma. This area's no longer infected.
 * Devrim: Good work. There's bound to be more than one.
 * Ghost: We're making good progress, but Taken energy readings are still off the charts.
 * Devrim: There must be a source. The Cabal hurt us, Guardian, but the Taken could ruin the EDZ forever. Put an end to this.
 * Ghost: This place is old; good thing we can't get tetanus.
 * Devrim: This facility provided water for many generations. If for nothing else but principle, I'm glad you're reclaiming it.
 * Ghost: They just left that unguarded...? This smells fishy to me.
 * Ghost: Zavala, the Taken leader is down for the count. Surprise of the day: he was Red Legion.
 * Zavala: Impossible... Oryx is long dead. There's no one left to take.
 * Ghost: Ikora was telling me about a Hive tome called the Book of Sorrows. That Oryx has sisters.
 * Zavala: You've both dealt with the Taken on Io. I'll consult her about this. In the meantime, excellent work. All of you.
