With the Warsat network and the Warmind itself no more, rendering her ritual useless, Xivu Arath began to have her hive pull back but would still maintain a grip on Europa, causing the Guardians to continue operations to prevent the Hive from claiming the moon and corrupt what's left of Clovis Bray. | With the Warsat network and the Warmind itself no more, rendering her ritual useless, Xivu Arath began to have her hive pull back but would still maintain a grip on Europa, causing the Guardians to continue operations to prevent the Hive from claiming the moon and corrupt what's left of Clovis Bray. | ||
===In Titan's Depths=== | |||
Following the Witness's arrival and the Guardians combatting its Disciple Calus and his [[Shadow Legion]], holding the dark cabal at bay on Earth and Neptune, the Traveler would be claimed by it's enemy, using a paracasual entity called [[The Veil]] to create a gateway upon it, leaving the Vanguard Coalition unable to follow. After months of fighting the Shadow Legion, the Vanguard received a distress call from Titan, specifically from Deputy Commander Sloane, who had been missing since the moon's disappearance following the Pyramid's arrival. With haste, Zavala gathers Sain-14, Lord Saladin and the Guardian to head to Titan and confirm if Sloane is alive. | |||
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. 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 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. Sloane states that Ahsa saved her life when Titan was taken by the Witness and claims she is an old enemy of the Witness. Further, her Taken affliction allows her to communicate Ahsa, albeit very briefly, and Ahsa has some very important information to share to the Guardians. | |||
