 * Zavala: Welcome to Nessus. This planet is crawling with Vex. The Red Legion have sent in crews, and we need to know why. Failsafe, are you online?


 * Failsafe: Commander, your favorite AI is primed and ready. I have prepared back doors into several key Vex systems. We have detected a series of seismic disruptions. The Cabal may be responsible.


 * Zavala: We need to know what we're dealing with. Yours are the boots on the ground, Guardian. Good luck.


 * Ghost: Oh, look! Look! Its a Vex milk waterfall, we can stop and - aww.


 * Ghost: Oh. We're walking into the light. I think there is a metaphor here and I don't like it.


 * Ghost: Hey Failsafe! You're all cozy in your data core. Any advice on an energy shield?


 * Failsafe: I believe the nearby Vex constructs maintain that barrier.


 * Ghost: Well, I could've - OK we'll shoot them.


 * Ghost: What could the Red Legion possibly be drilling for?


 * Failsafe: Friendly query: what have you done to attract such hostile species to my planet?


 * Ghost: And of course the drills have armed crews.


 * Failsafe: If its helpful, I suggest you deal with the drills when the shooting stops.


 * Ghost: The shooting never stops.


 * Failsafe: Just so you know: I have detected a massive Vex energy signature.


 * Ghost: And the only way to reach it is down past those giant, pointy drill bits? Good!


 * Ghost: I hope this is safe. The Cabal don't need to stick the landing. We do.


 * Ghost: Zavala's gonna owe us big for this.


 * Ghost: This is fine. This is fine. This is fine. This is just fine.


 * Ghost: That made the Crucible feel safe.


 * Ghost: Uh, guys? We've encountered a massive Vex Mind.


 * Failsafe: Watch your back friend! I'm detecting multiple ordnance types.


 * Ghost: You're not helping!


 * Ghost: Energy change! Watch out!


 * Ghost: In your face!


 * Ghost: It's not getting up from that! Zavala, we're good!


 * Zavala: Well done. Failsafe, what's your assessment of this incident?


 * Failsafe: Vex records indicate the Cabal discovered the Mind, and dug into this world to capture it. Had the Red Legion achieved their goal, I estimate a 60% chance this planetoid would have been destroyed in the ensuing battles. Luckily, the captain stepped in.


 * Ghost: Huzzah!
