Hive: Difference between revisions

Line 351:

Arriving at Sloane's last known position at the New Pacific Arcology, the team finds the area eerily quiet but as the Guardian headed toward the Communications Array to pinpoint Sloane's location, they come under assault from the Taken and Hive. During this, The Drifter makes a surprise appearance after taking notice in Titan's return, also looking for Sloane's whereabouts. As they fight off their attackers, they hear the thundering voice of Xivu Arath herself, taunting them. As the Guardian attempts to silence the Hive War God's Battlesong, they encounter another Celebrant of Xivu Arath, [[Azshradat, Celebrant of Xivu Arath|Azshradat]], but it escapes, leaving the Guardian to finish their task in realigning the Communications Array. However, they discover that Sloane's location is pinpointed one kilometer down in the methane ocean, where the pressure would likely kill anyone. With Zavala's insistence, Drifter lends the Guardian some aquatic devices that will allow them to survive the pressure for a brief period. The devices worked as hope and find Sloane, though partially corrupted with Taken energies, along with a massive creature the Deputy Commander claimed is named [[Ahsa]] and who the distress signal was actually for. Sloane states that Ahsa saved her life when Titan was taken by the Witness, almost being possessed by Xivu Arath when her Taken affliction began, and claims she is an old enemy of the Witness. Further, her Taken affliction not only allows her to be "tuned into the enemy's radio" but also communicate with Ahsa, albeit very briefly, and Ahsa has some very important information to share with the Guardians.

With the Drifter's expertise, his use of Gambit Tech and of a underwater coral plant that bares the same physic properties as egregore, the Vanguard believes they can strengthen Sloane's connection to Ahsa for her to interpret her messages. Their first mission involved finding more of the coral plant within the Methane seas and locating a Fallen Servitor, [[J4W-S, Wrath-Hunter Servitor]], that Xivu Arath's Wrathborn had taken control over. Delving deep into the methane seas with a golden age version of the gear the Drifter gave them, the Guardians are able to locate the servitor, after using Sloane herself as bait, destroy it and gain the egregore coral they need, allowing Sloane to interpret Ahsa's first message.

Said message involved "an oasis in the desert", of travelers and wanderers and the "first of those claimed by the Deep", the first "victims of the Witness".

In addition to helping Sloane, the Guardians conducted Salvage operations in the methane seas on both the Vanguard's and Drifter's behalf. During one such salvage operation, they encounter Azshradat once more. Despite Azshradat's power and the Hive supporting him, the Guardians slayed the latest of Xivu Arath's Celebrants.

After gathering more salvage for the Drifter to tune his Gambit device, Sloane directs the Guardians back into the depths to find more coral egregore with Saint-14 providing tactical. As the Guardians worked their way down, they were swarmed by Xivu Arath's Taken forces but despite their efforts, the Guardians preserved, Sloane resisting the War God's taunts and managed to reach the sea floor, where they confront [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]]. Despite the Wizard's power the Guardians managed to slay Kudazad and gather the coral they need. Using it, Sloane is able to interpret Ahsa's the second part of her message, speaking about a "city of light" and a "Silent God withholding a deeper truth". However, the experience of the message takes a toll on the deputy commander, to the concern of both Zavala and Saint-14.
