After stopping the Hive ritual, the player travels to Venus and discovers the [[Vex]], a machine race bent on dominating reality itself. The Stranger tells the player that the only way to stop the Vex and save the Traveler is to enter the [[Black Garden]] and destroy its [[Black Heart|heart]]. The player seeks counsel with the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]]; the [[Queen]] tells them that the only way into the Garden is to retrieve the eye of a Vex [[Zydron, Gate Lord|Gate Lord]]. They assume it to be a suicide mission, but the player returns with the eye. The Queen tells the player that they now owe her a favor in return for her information. | After stopping the Hive ritual, the player travels to Venus and discovers the [[Vex]], a machine race bent on dominating reality itself.
