 * Ghost: If the Fallen are working their way up the mountain, their goal is to take Vostok Obersvatory.
 * Ghost: What would the Fallen want in an abandoned outpost?
 * Lord Saladin: Things better left buried.
 * Saladin: There is a Gondola near your location. Take it up to the Observatory.
 * Ghost: Whoa. This hasn't been activated for more than 400 years.
 * Ghost: With this sort of reception, it might be a touch ambitious to think we can secure the entire observatory.
 * Saladin: There's a courtyard in the rear of the facility. If you can secure that, you should be able to keep them from the Iron Temple until we arrive.
 * Ghost: Wait. Iron Temple, like Iron Banner, Iron Lords?
 * Saladin: Stay focused. There's too much at stake.

Step One
You’ll begin the first story mission by entering a mountainous area and, under Lord Saladin’s instructions, making your way to a gondola that takes you up toward Felwinter Peak, where a Fallen incursion has been detected. Fallen are everywhere along the way, shooting at you in the gondola, so keep your eyes up! Scout Rifles and Snipers, are definitely recommended here as there’s a lot of longer range fighting taking place. Eventually a Fallen ship blows a hole in the gondola and you have to jump out and make your way to the moutaintop the rest of the way up on foot before having to defend a courtyard outside the entrance to the Iron Temple from several waves of Fallen.

Step 2
After fighting off the enemy waves, you encounter Sepiks Perfected, whom you must prevent from gaining access to Felwinter Peak. As Ghost observes, Sepiks is regenerating due to the SIVA influence, and maintains a triple burst shot so beware. Completion of this portion of the level grants you a grimoire card and access to the Temple.
