(Cutscene)


 * Ikora's Jumpship streaks across space, heading for Mars.

Ikora: In times of crisis, people look to their leaders for answers. But ever since the planets were ripped from our sky, it seems all I can offer is more questions. And now, with mars returned... I hardly know where to start.


 * Ikora arrives at The Enclave. She passes a Titan, standing on a rock.

Ikora: Where is she?


 * Ikora approaches a black doorway, built into the side of the cliff. Eris Morn walks out.

Eris Morn: Your theory was correct. The Relic is of the Pyramids, there's no doubt.

Ikora: Word is out about Mars.

Eris Morn: I need more time.

Ikora: The Cabal are mobilizing. We need to -


 * The ground shakes. A Cabal carrier moves overhead.

Ikora: Secure the camp!


 * Eris, Ikora, and several other Guardians run over to the cliff's edge, where they can see a massive Cabal turret under construction.

Eris Morn: Wait. It seems they have another target.

Ikora: What are they aiming at?


 * The camera pans over to the direction the turret is facing. A Hive ship, The Lure, suddenly appears.

Eris Morn: Savathûn.


 * The screen fades to black.

(Mission Begins)

Ikora: Guardian, Eris and I are establishing Hidden operations near the Cradle. What's your location?

Ghost: We're in some kind of crop field.

Eris Morn: What you see is a window into the golden age. Mars has returned with temporal instabilities, and Savathûn's presence here is no coincidence.

Ikora: We believe the reappearance of Mars is drove her out of hiding, and our intel suggests she is in a weakened state. The Cabal fleet is blocking the flight path onto her ship. We need you to find a way to get up there and track Savathûn down.

Eris Morn: This may be our only chance to strike.


 * The Guardian encounters and defeats several Cabal. They find a fuel cell, and use it to power a Jump Gate. They are launched over a hill and can see a giant Cabal cannon.
