Adieu

Adieu is the second story mission of Destiny 2. After the Red Legion invaded the Last City, and cut off the light from the rest of the Guardians by the order of Dominus Ghaul, the Guardian evacuates the devastated city and leaves with a group of survivors lead by Suraya Hawthorne. They then are relocated to The Farm, located deep within the European Dead Zone.

Enemies

 * Cabal
 * Red Legion troops

Cutscene
{Vision from the Shard of the Traveler}


 * The spirit of a bird flying through clouds. The clouds part, showing the Traveler over Echo Mensa, Io, the last place the Traveler touched before the Collapse.


 * The spirit dives into a river of time flowing out from the location. Inside a thousand faces screaming, drowning, desperately struggling to stay alive. Doomed. The foreboding shadow of the “Pyramid Ships” in formation above the water.


 * Suddenly they fall into the abyss, vanquished, as the scene shifts yet again to a brief vision of The Leviathan, crowned with a pair of suns, devouring a planetoid, possibly Nessus.


 * A spear of arc. A sword of flame. And a shield of the void. Powers of the Light. The spirit soaring past it all, breaking from luridity to lucidity as with sudden focus we find ourselves above the sea of time, looking towards a distant shore and the Shard of the Traveler. The music soars on the wings of the spirit, the sun shines.


 * You are invited.

The Last City

 * Two days after the attack


 * The Guardian wakes in a crater after having been thrown off The Immortal. The City is destroyed. Everything is grey with smoke. In the distance Cabal soldiers patrol, flanked by Goliath tanks.


 * The Guardian gets up out of the crater, badly wounded, unable to heal or be revived, and stumbles forward aimlessly, trying to find a way out. The player follows along a drain, ducking behind a crashed ship as a Thresher passes slowly overhead, searching for survivors.

Ghost: Guardian!!!


 * The player moves towards the sound of their Ghost.

Ghost: This is awful – awful!


 * The exertion has been too much and the Guardian collapses, unable to continue

Ghost: This can’t be happening…


 * Ghost notices the Guardian, rushing up to them and healing them.

Ghost: Guardian…? You’re alive… I thought I’d lost you. I can heal you, but I can’t resurrect you. Not since… Guardian… the Light is gone. They’ve taken the City, the Traveler, everything… The Red Legion is killing powerless Guardians. We have to get out of here.


 * Able to walk again the player gets moving, trying to evacuate the ruined city. The player makes their way over the rubble and through a gap in the Wall towards the world beyond.

Ghost: I’m picking up an emergency broadcast. Rendezvous coordinates. They’re evacuating the planet.

Ghost: We’re on our own…


 * The player starts walking.

City Outskirts

 * Four days after the attack


 * A falcon sits on a rock, watching the player as they make their way slowly through the mountains. It flies off as they approach. In the distance a group of seven Threshers roar through the skies, their engines booming down the mountain passes.


 * A banner flutters in the breeze.


 * A sign. A beacon. Hope.


 * Other Guardians!


 * Dead...


 * Their camp still smouldering from the attack. Bodies strewn everywhere.

Ghost: These Guardians… They had no chance without their powers. That could be us… Guardian – if you die… I can’t resurrect you. We need to be very careful.


 * Arm yourself
 * Look for a weapon


 * The player searches the camp for anything useful. A radio antenna plays the following message on repeat:

[Voice on the radio]: If anyone’s out there…. whatever the Red Legion did, it was like they flipped a switch. Every Guardian and their Ghost’s connection to the Traveler just, vanished… I’m gathering survivors at the North-Western Passage. They took our Light! They’re - they’re killing us! [Message repeats]


 * The player finds the Sorrow MG2 and ammunition for their handcanon, a damaged The Traveler's Chosen.


 * Outside the camp the Guardian is ambushed by Cabal Warbeasts, introducing the player to this enemy type.


 * Follow your vision
 * Track the falcon through the mountains


 * The Warbeasts defeated, the player heads off again.

Twilight Gap

 * One week after the attack

Ghost: It’s that falcon again. Is it following us…? Ghost: …or are we following it?

Red Legion attack

Cutscene
Hawthorne: Oh look, somebody left a perfectly good Guardian lying around. Things must be worse than I thought.

Hawthorne: And that’s our cue. Time to go, people!

Ghost: Ah, but… Wait! Where… where are you all going?

Hawthorne: As far away from here as possible.

The falcon flies to Hawthorne’s arm

Ghost: That falcon… it belongs to you?

Hawthorne: The name’s Hawthorne. And this is Louis. Best pilot we got. What about you? Fit to fly?

Hawthorne: Probably gonna need one of these, too.


 * Hawthorne throws the Guardian a Stubborn Oak Shotgun.

Hawthorne: Time to make yourself useful. “Guardian.”

Hawthorne: All right people, spin ‘em up! Got a long flight ahead of us!

Cutscene

 * Ghaul watches the Traveler from his ship


 * Ghaul: Do you see, Traveler…
 * Ghaul: …all that I have done.
 * Ghaul: Grace me with your Light.
 * Ghaul: Take your place at the center of my empire!
 * Ghaul: See me, and the Red Legion will be your true Guardians.


 * The Consul arrives


 * Consul: Dominus!
 * Consul: The city is secure.
 * Consul: Those who fled are being hunted…
 * Consul: …and those foolish enough to remain have been executed.
 * Consul: Victory, as with all things, is yours to claim.
 * Ghaul: This victory is as much your as mine, old friend.
 * Consul: All that remains is the completion of the cage around this great machine.
 * Consul: Then we may begin the extraction of its power and put it to its rightful use.
 * Ghaul: They call it the Traveler.
 * Consul: I would contend that other civilizations may be more precise in their naming.
 * Consul: Its functions can be controlled and exploited…
 * Consul: …as we have so clearly proven.
 * Ghaul: Yet they believe it to be a god.
 * Consul: Dominus –
 * Ghaul: Ghaul.
 * Consul: We have spent our lives, you and I, working to reshape out society…
 * Consul: …reforge our people…
 * Consul: …rebuild an empire nearly destroyed by Calus’s greed and corruption.
 * Consul: Nothing in this universe greater than you!
 * Consul: The Red Legion will have that machine’s power. You will be called Emperor!
 * Consul: What more would the Dominus have?
 * Ghaul: I would have words with my guest.


 * The Speaker descends from the ceiling in restraints


 * Ghaul: So, you’re the one who speaks for the Traveler.

 * Hawthorne: Coming up one the European Dead Zone. Gonna be our new home for a while.
 * Ghost: Look! Do you recognize it? That’s where we’re supposed to go.
 * Hawthorne: That thing? They call it the Shard of the Traveler. I call it: “Not a place you want to go poking around.”


 * The Guardian arrives at the Farm
