| 6 December || Ana's Restored Hope || With the Witness fast approaching and all efforts to revive Rasputin bearing no fruit, the newly-awakened Osiris suggests to Ana Bray that they make contact with the AI of Clovis Bray I since he has the knowledge needed to rebuild Rasputin. Ana is hesitant, but agrees to Osiris's proposal, so they send the Guardian to Europa, into Bray Exoscience. After bypassing a deadly security system, Ana is shocked when she learns that Xivu Arath has made a foothold on Europa by using her [[Cryptolith]]s to turn the Eliksni of House Salvation to fight for her, thereby turning them into Wrathborn. The Guardian encounters more of Xivu Arath's forces including a Deathtongue Chorister that uses Xivu Arath's Battlesong to enhance her Wrathborn soldiers and suppress the Guardian's abilities through a totem. The AI of Clovis Bray I requests the Guardian's assistance in driving out the remaining forces of Xivu Arath invading the Creation wing of Bray Exoscience and defeating [[Techwizard Malykuh, Salvation's Warden]]. They reactivate the security protocols and witness a conversation between Clovis I, his granddaughter, and Osiris. Ana uploads Clovis I into an experimental Exo frame intended for Rasputin in the H.E.L.M., and he tasks the Guardian with recovering a submind of Rasputin: [[Malahayati]]. Before they set off to recover the first submind, Mara Sov informs them of Xivu Arath's plan to weaponize Rasputin's [[Warsat]] network to be used against the Last City. The coordinates to the submind lay within the Seraph bunker on Luna, so they head there. They learn that the Scorn are attempting to retrieve the submind, so the Guardian stops its leader: [[Once-Phyris, the Exhumed Tether]], a lieutenant of Eramis reanimated as a Scorn. After retrieving the submind Malahayati, they travel to a Seraph facility located outside the Last City. They bypass the security systems, clear out the Hive inside and defeat a lieutenant of Xivu Arath: [[Sumok, Ravager of Torobatl]]. They inform both Clovis I and Ana of their success and both begin their work to locate the next submind of Rasputin.

| 9 December || Skirmish on the [[Spire of the Watcher]] || The Hidden reveal to Ikora that a specific facility has reactivated for the first time following the Collapse within a temporal anomaly on Mars. Ikora dispatches the Guardian to the facility on Osiris's behalf. The facility is under attack by the Vex of the Sol Divisive, the Vex collective pledging their allegiance to the Witness. The Guardian uses Arc circuits to open doors and lifts leading to the [[Ares Spire]]. They ascend to the top of the Ares Spire and defeat [[Akelous, the Siren's Current]], an Axis Mind used by the Witness to collect power to the facility. After the defeat of Akelous, Osiris reveals to the Guardian that the facility's reactor is experiencing a meltdown and tasks them with stopping the Vex from denying the secrets held inside. They encounter [[Persys, Primordial Ruin]], another Axis Mind used by the Witness and also the first Wyvern of the Sol Divisive encountered by Guardians. Defeating Persys, the meltdown is prevented, and the Vanguard could begin collecting important data from the facility. Initial findings are reported to Ikora.

| 13 December || Recovery of [[Charlemagne]] || The Bray family argues over Clovis I's trustworthiness of the knowledge needed to rebuild Rasputin before Ana and Elsie Bray take it outside the H.E.L.M.. Clovis I apologizes to the Guardian for witnessing their argument and informs them that the next submind of Rasputin they must recover is Charlemagne, and the coordinates to the submind lay near the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] on Mars, so they head there next. The Hive are attempting to extract the submind, so the Guardian defeats their leader: Kelgorath, now a Darkblade serving Xivu Arath and uses the [[Seraph Cipher|root kernel]] on Charlemagne as they have done on Malahayati. They return to the Seraph facility outside the Last City, defeat a pair of powerful Wizards named [[Ir Nithra, Scourge of the Ammonite]] and [[Ir Hanal, Scourge of the Dakaua]], and upload the submind to a Seraph orbital facility above Earth. Clovis I tells the Guardian that Rasputin has changed the old launch codes and encrypted the new ones, so he begins work to locate the next submind.

| 20 December || [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]] || Clovis I informs the that although Rasputin's subminds has been reintegrated, the data needed to rebuild Rasputin is still missing, so he and Elsie instruct the Guardian to board the Seraph orbital facility above Twilight Gap and upload a virus developed from Xivu Arath's usage of the Cryptoliths to corrupt the Warsat network. They use the augments dropped by the Splicers of House Salvation to explore the orbital facility and defeat both the Hive and Eliksni attempting to stop them. They willingly surrender and then escape the Ketch belonging to House Salvation before returning to the orbital facility. They defeat a powerful Knight named [[Haroktha, Scourge of the Helium Drinkers]] before confronting Praksis, the first Scorn seen using Stasis weaponry made by House Salvation and defeating him. They upload the virus and discover the blueprints of a weapon made from a combination of Häkke and Pyramid technologies: [[Revision Zero]]. They inform Clovis I of their endeavors and the frame rewards them with the original copy of Revision Zero before [[Fenchurch Everis]] contacts them via the frame. After extracting its weapon pattern, they take Revision Zero to the Enclave on Mars and discover that it is the first weapon capable of changing its Exotic traits and catalysts through reshaping through Deepsight Resonance.

| 27 December || Rasputin's Awakening || Ana discovers a way to speed up Rasputin's recovery, but first the Guardian needs to collect more submind data. She discovers that Felwinter is made as an independent AI by Rasputin following the Collapse and his Ghost [[Felspring]] holds the data needed. With Saladin's permission, the Guardian returns to [[Felwinter Peak]] to find the remnants of Felspring. Unfortunately, House Salvation has intercepted the communications between them and Ana, so they are tasked with defending Felwinter Peak from their forces with assistance from the Cabal in service of Caiatl. They eliminate the platoon and their leader: [[Rilliks, Instrument of Xivu Arath]] before they rekindle the flames and interact with Felspring's remains. After Ana uploads the memories of Felwinter, Rasputin is finally awake and reveals to both Ana and the Guardian the true nature of Clovis I's plans. Rasputin was created by him to exert domination over humanity, but Ana's intervention saved them from his hubris, so Rasputin defies him by rewriting his old protocols and locking him out. Rasputin had been dormant since he failed to save Ana during the Collapse in the hope can save humanity once again, as he had done by destroying the Almighty before it reached the Last City. Clovis I is attempting to use Rasputin's network to become a god himself. Ana confronts Clovis I about the revelation aboard the H.E.L.M. with Elsie and the Guardian in tow. He reassures them that he is in the best interests of humanity by doing more than the Traveler, citing the [[Whirlwind]], the Collapse, and Savathûn's acquisition of the Light as examples of the Traveler's fallacies. Ana rejects Clovis I's lies and uploads Rasputin into the experimental Exo from, expelling Clovis I in the process and using his heuristics matrix to speak to the Guardian. Ana warns Guardian that Clovis I spoke to a mysterious entity by telling them "they know," before Rasputin replaced him in an Exo frame. With his diagnostics completed, Rasputin thanks the Guardian for bringing him back and offers his favor in return by doing whatever he can to defend humanity from the forces of Xivu Arath. He needs time to come up with a plan of action, so he needs the Guardian to gather more submind data in the meantime.

| 3 January-10 January || Battle of the War Gods || Raaputin tasks the Guardian with recovering more submind data, but before they do, Osiris discovers that Rasputin's data caches contains information related to a location called "[[Nefele Stronghold]]", hinting of a city on Neptune: [[Neomuna]]. Upon recovering more submind data, Rasputin notes some changes in his personality and concludes that him and Xivu Arath are respectively humanity and the Hive's War Gods albeit with different motives. As they work to gather more submind data and aid Rasputin in his recovery, Mara discovers that by regaining control of the Warsat network and using it against the cryptoliths, they are falling into Xivu Arath's trap to facilitate her invasion on [[Earth]]. She relays this information to the leaders of [[The Coalition|the Coalition]], a group of allies actively working to defend Sol from the forces of the Witness and its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]]. She forms a plan to use Rasputin as bait to stop the ritual allowing Xivu Arath a foothold on Earth with Ana and the leaders of the Coalition nodding in agreement. Rasputin informs the Guardian that he needs time to form a plan to stop Xivu Arath's Wrathborn forces without using the Warsats and tells them to follow the Vanguard's instructions.
