-'''Failsafe''' (known also as '''AI-COM/XBLK''') is the [[Golden Age]] [[Computer Core]] of the Exodus Black colony ship  encountered by [[Guardian]] forces on the  [[Nessus]] planetoid. Due to damage to her mainframe, she vacillates between two very different personalities, one cheerful and helpful (despite Ghost's opinions), the other apathetic and sarcastic. She is friendly toward Guardian forces, and aids them in the assassination of [[Protheon, Modular Mind]]. Her mainframe is located within the bridge of the crashed [[Exodus Black]] [[colony ship]]. She also works with [[Guardian]] forces beyond [[Nessus]] through her comms, such as how she collaborated with [[Asher Mir]] in the [[European Dead Zone]] against the [[Taken]]. Failsafe also hoped to fully discover what happened to her former crew, requesting the Guardians aid in learning their fates.
+'''Failsafe''' (also known by the designation '''AI-COM/XBLK''') is the [[Golden Age]] [[Computer Core]] of the [[Exodus Black]] colony ship encountered by [[Guardian]] forces on the [[wikipedia:Centaur (small Solar System body)|centaur]] [[Nessus]]. Due to damage to her mainframe, she vacillates between two very different personalities, one cheerful and helpful (despite Ghost's opinions), the other apathetic and sarcastic. She is known to collaborate with [[Last City]] scholars by providing computational power or access to her database.
 ==Biography==
 ===Crash of the Exodus Black===
-The Exodus Black crashed on Nessus with Failsafe onboard. Almost all of her crew was killed in the crash, but some were taken hostage or killed by the Vex.
+{{Quote|I'm sorry, but I'm unable to keep pace with what is happening to my computational capabilities! The Exodus Black is now in an unrecoverable descent. Please make whatever preparations are appropriate!|Failsafe}}<ref name="Impact Velocity">'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Impact Velocity]]''</ref>
+Failsafe was launched onboard the Exodus Black from the [[Cosmodrome]], intended to accompany the ship on its journey through interstellar space to the [[wikipedia:Kepler-186|Kepler-186]] system. On the way, the crew of the ship were surprised by the sudden appearance of Nessus on their flight vector. Both Failsafe and the Exodus Black crew attempted to adjust the ship's course away from Nessus, but the centaur introduced 26 new mathematical constraints required to recalculate the course. Additionally, Failsafe was inhibited by a sudden [[Vex|alien]] intrusion into her systems, making her unable to compute the appropriate adjustments.<ref name="Impact Velocity"/> After loosing an engine, the ship crash landed on Nessus due to the unexpected addition of six dimensions to the ship's momentum.<ref name="Exodus Down">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Exodus_Down#Lore|Exodus Down]]''</ref>
+With supplies exhausted after nine days crashed on Nessus, an Exodus Black crew member disabled Failsafe's shackle programming, enabling her to think more freely and possibly beginning the future development of Failsafe's second personality.<ref name="O Captain">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-o-captain-exodus-black O Captain]''</ref> Despite this, crew members continued to die off, with many opting to leave the rest and others becoming subject to experiments by the local Vex.<ref name="Lost Crew">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lost Crew]]''</ref> Failsafe was left alone some time after Captain [[Masoud Jacobson]] left the Exodus Black in an attempt to use the ship's satellite array to call for help. She would remain this way for at least 500 years, all the while suffering damage and undergoing self-repair, developing new emotions and her second personality.<ref name="The Insight Terminus">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Insight Terminus]]''</ref>
 ===The Red War===
 [[File:Failsafe.png|thumb|right|220px|Failsafe]]
-Upon the advent of the Red War, the Vanguard were scattered across the solar system. The Hunter Vanguard, [[Cayde-6]], took refuge on the centaur [[Nessus]] and became entangled in a Vex teleportation loop. After arriving on Nessus in search of Cayde-6, [[The Guardian]] came into contact with Failsafe, who directed them to the Cayde-6s Location and assisted in freeing them from the Vex teleportation loop.
+Failsafe remained alone until centuries later during the [[Red War]], with the arrival of the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]], [[Cayde-6]]. Cayde encountered Failsafe while attempting to acquire a Vex teleporter with the goal of bringing himself close enough to [[Dominus Ghaul]] to assassinate him.<ref name="Rekindled Solstice Strides">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/solstice-strides-rekindled Solstice Strides (Rekindled)]''</ref> This plan backfired, trapping Cayde in a teleportation loop. Convinced he would be stuck in the teleportation loop forever, Cayde had Failsafe help him record a message to his son Ace, who Cayde noted he wasn't sure even existed. After a number of attempted recordings interrupted by teleportations, Failsafe alerted Cayde that a ship similar to his own had just entered into Nessus orbit. As Cayde was about to teleport again, he asked her to tell the ship that he did not enter the loop voluntarily, but fell into a Vex trap instead.<ref name="Rekindled Solstice Cloak">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/solstice-cloak-rekindled Solstice Cloak (Rekindled)]''</ref>
+Failsafe greeted the ship not long after it arrived, which turned out to be carrying [[the Guardian]] and their [[The Ghost|Ghost]]. With her help, the Guardian manages to meet up with Cayde and disable the teleporter, leaving Cayde at the Exodus Black's reactor core.<ref name="Looped">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Looped]]''</ref><ref name="Six">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Six]]''</ref> The [[Fallen]] appeared not long after, having presumably followed either Cayde or the Guardian to Nessus, and engaged in a skirmish with the Vex between the wreckage of the Exodus Black. Another detachment also converged on Failsafe's core, prompting her to raise a defensive shield while Cayde sought refuge within. The Guardian broke through and secured the Exodus Black, to the joy of Failsafe, who declared them the new captain of the ship.<ref name="Six"/>
 ===Search for Captain Jacobson===
-Sometime after the end of the [[Red War]], Failsafe allegedly heard the voice of Captain [[Masoud Jacobson]] on the comm system. Upon asking [[The Guardian]] to investigate it, the Guardian finds an odd [[Vex]] [[Harpy]] speaking fragmented English to them. On the end of this [[World Quest]], the Guardian finds the decayed body of Failsafe’s captain, with a voice recording to boot.
