Transcript
Spider: Look at you. If our prodigal prince is not yet afraid of you… He should be. Six down… yet the strongest three remain. Of the prince and his pet Fanatic, reports are few. However, your bloodbath has forced the Machinist out of hiding. Moreover, I hear she's amassing great quantities of corrupted Ether - to grow the Fanatic's depraved armies. When you pay the Machinist a visit, I urge you to destroy any and all caches of their vile ambrosia. And by the way? Death suits you.

(Cutscene)

ULDREN SOV WALKS THROUGH THE DARK FOREST. HE ENCOUNTERS A GROUP OF DREGS, WHO BOW TO HIM. ULDREN WALKS TOWARDS THE SHARD OF THE TRAVELER. MARA SOV APPEARS BEHIND ULDREN.

The Queen: Be brave.


 * Uldren shoots the shard of the Traveler, exposing a smaller shard.

The Queen: Now take it.


 * Uldren picks up the shard.

The Queen: Move.


 * A bullet misses uldren. Petra Venj is shown hiding nearby.

Petra Venj: Damn!


 * The group of dregs chases after Petra. The cutscene ends.

(Mission begins)

Ghost: We're in the Machinist's territory now. This one isn't just another name on a list. The Machinist is the Fanatic's right hand. She commands an arsenal of stolen tech. Human, Awoken, Fallen, Cabal… anything she can get her hands on.

Ghost: This tank is City-made. Machinist has good taste, I'll give her that.


 * Ghost scans the tank.

Ghost: Everything's working - except the two most important parts: the turret and the nav module. But we ARE in a junkyard. I've ID'd some possible replacements nearby.


 * The Guardian finds the turret.

Ghost: This turret's seen better days. But I can make it work.


 * The Guardian puts the turret in the tank.

Ghost: Turrets are online. You get the nav module. I'll cover you.


 * The Guardian goes to find the nav module. Ghost will fire the tank's turret at the scorn. The Guardian puts the nav module in the tank.

Ghost: Nav module installed. Your chariot awaits.


 * The Guardian soon finds an energy barrier blocking their path.

Ghost: That energy barrier is a problem violence can't solve. Let's check around for a power source.
