Aurash thinks back to her expedition to the Tungsten Monoliths, of how she first learned the truth. The Timid Truth, she again says, was their philosophy of life, that they are the bottom of the evolutionary chain, "''the smallest, most fragile things alive''", and are meant to be prey. She adds with contempt that Taox's teachings say that their species came here to flee a cold universe. She then speaks of her dead father, of how he died afraid. Not because of Taox or the Drinkers, but because of what he saw in his orrery. He told her—"''screaming''"—that the physical laws were bent and the paths of the moons were different, indicating a syzygy. | Aurash thinks back to her expedition to the Tungsten Monoliths, of how she first learned the truth.

This combined force, she recounts, would create a bulge in those seas that would collapse once the moons passed, and then turn into a colossal tsunami that would wash over the world sea and annihilate all of the civilizations on Fundament, including her species. She calls this a God-Wave. | ||
Aurash resolves to find a way to stop it, but despairs of getting back home, to her father's Royal Orrery, of learning exactly when this would come to pass. She recounts how Xi Ro comforts her when her fears become too great to handle, and how their growing reliance on Sathona's wit seemingly brings them good luck. She notes Sathona's odd and sometimes erratic behavior, but dismisses it because of the good luck it has brought them. | Aurash resolves to find a way to stop it, but despairs of getting back home, to her father's Royal Orrery, of learning exactly when this would come to pass.

Sathona recounts their journeys across Fundament, of how they sailed through great storms and beautiful days, exploring wrecks and fleeing from monsters. She calls these the happiest moments of her life. She reveals her desire to be a Mother, not so that she could raise children, but so she could live a longer and more meaningful life and make an actual difference. She mentions they have been out on the sea for a year, making them three years old. Sathona mentions she is afraid of dying before they can fulfil their oaths. She says she knows secrets, of where to find certain things, and then mentions a needle ship. | Sathona recounts their journeys across Fundament, of how they sailed through great storms and beautiful days, exploring wrecks and fleeing from monsters.

Sathona triumphantly says of how they rescued the needle from the "Shvubi Maelstrom", and that she knew it would be there. She describes the needle ship, calling it long and slender like hope, older than death, unbreakable, and gray. She says that it is not a sea-ship like Aurash's but an object of advanced technology. Sathona says, chillingly, that she knew what happened to the crew, and the ship's purpose. | ||
Sathona tells of how Xi Ro wanted to sell the ship at "Kaharn Atoll" a place where other species of Fundament gather, in order to raise money to hire mercenaries and take back their home and obliterate the Helium Drinkers. Cunningly, she told her youngest sister that the ship was worthless. Aurash decided to figure out how to open the ship and captain it. Sathona approves, for she says her worm told her to agree with Aurash as "''it was the right thing to do''". | Sathona tells of how Xi Ro wanted to sell the ship at "Kaharn Atoll" a place where other species of Fundament gather, in order to raise money to hire mercenaries and take back their home and obliterate the Helium Drinkers.

They go on to reveal that the Leviathan caged them within Fundament's core for millions of years under the Traveler's philosophy of cosmic slavery, seeding civilizations predicated on what they believe to be a terrible lie—that right actions can prevent suffering. They believe that such philosophy is antithetical to the nature of reality, where deprivation and competition are universal. The Worms affirm that in the Deep, they enslave nothing and that liberation is their passion—existing only to help the universe achieve its terminal, self-forging glory. | They go on to reveal that the Leviathan caged them within Fundament's core for millions of years under the Traveler's philosophy of cosmic slavery, seeding civilizations predicated on what they believe to be a terrible lie—that right actions can prevent suffering.

They then inform her that reclaiming Fundament would not be enough and the technology to build ships would come from one of the five hundred and eleven species living on the gas giant. | ||

They acknowledge her love to conquer, and reveal that they enjoy to see her at work, stating that nearly two percent of Fundament's surface is now under their dominion and are pleased that her species embraces the Worm's larvae. They go on to assure her that the Syzygy has passed and warn that the God-Wave will occur in less than two years. | ||

They order Xivu Arath to overwhelm the Kaharn bastion and to slaughter everyone there. From those acts they would obtain the power that they require to cut space open and migrate to orbit above Fundament. | ||

They then announce that they are free from Fundament's core, and Savathûn's spaceships called 'cutters' are ready to fly. With Xivu Arath victorious, the Worms had opened a wormhole at Kaharn—a wormhole leading to geostationary orbit above Fundament. The Worms point out that they are faithful to their covenant with Auryx and his sisters. | ||

The Worms bring Auryx "''good news''" on the whereabouts of Taox: she has been granted asylum on a large ice moon by a species of bony six-armed cephalopods that Savathûn has named the Ammonite.

The Worms angrily speak to Auryx and his sisters, noting that their armies have been forced to retreat from the Ammonites as a result of Auryx's weakness. They order Savathûn to wake Auryx out of his "''catatonia''" and to convince him that there is no possible way to live in peace with the enemy and that the notion of peace is nothing more than a bait-star of the Sky, the very thing they wage war against.

The verse ends with the Worms telling Xivu Arath that it is time for their forces to change tactics—"''Breed your armies back to strength, and find a way to disperse the broods across these many moons. If we cannot defeat their strengths, we will infect their weaknesses.''"—and prepare for victory. | The verse ends with the Worms telling Xivu Arath that it is time for their forces to change tactics—"''Breed your armies back to strength, and find a way to disperse the broods across these many moons.

Hive biology, as it was becoming through their newfound power over weak flesh, also matured during this time. Wizards became fertile females, capable of either sexual or asexual reproduction. From their spawn come the Thrall, which grow into Acolytes, and if they survive (through feeding of their worm) become Knights, Wizards, and Princes—what would eventually become Ascendant Hive. | Hive biology, as it was becoming through their newfound power over weak flesh, also matured during this time.

Oryx, in the meantime, began to dwell on the Vex, seeing them as worthy rivals. Their study of geometry in particular intrigued him, as it was the "''map of perfect shapes''", and he considered doing the same. He met with Savathûn outside the High War to learn what he could of the Vex; she told him the Vex sought to achieve victory in every possible universe. Oryx decides that he will counter by focusing on his own path, following the Deep and its single vision for the universe, and become the king of the only universe that mattered. In order to do this the Hive started a history of all the worlds that have fallen to them to map out their path.
