| Working Title (unofficial) | Patrol Accessible | Location | Principle entities | Transcript | Picture of Scannable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDZ-SJC-1 | Yes | European Dead Zone, Sojourner's Camp. | Fallen | Ghost: "I wonder if these supplies fell out of a Fallen skiff. Or a ketch. Fallen names are so ugly. Dreg. Wretch. There are other things besides short vowels and plosives, you know. " | |
| EDZ-SJC-2 | Yes | European Dead Zone, Sojourner's Camp | Fallen | Ghost: "More Fallen Transmission data. I'm... well this is weird. I'm seeing some file headers with Awoken symbology? What was that about?" | |
| EDZ-SJC-3 | Yes | European Dead Zone, Sojourner's Camp | Fallen | Ghost: "The Fallen used to worship the Servitors like gods. I wonder what they think of their machines now that they're down and out in the EDZ?" | |
| EDZ-MS-1 | Yes | European Dead Zone, Maevic Square | Fallen | Ghost: "An arc spear. We thought the House Fallen were bad, but it's hard to imagine a haughty House of Kings guy rushing at us with one of these." | |
| EDZ-MS-2 | Yes | European Dead Zone, Maevic Square | Fallen | Ghost: "An empty Fallen cache, hmm. They must be bringing in supplies from all their old hidey holes in order to survive out here. " | |
| EDZ-TG-1 | Yes | European Dead Zone, The Gulch | Traveler | Ghost: "The power in this tiny piece... its amazing. And to think its been out here this whole time. Just waiting. " | [picture] |
| EDZ-TG-2 | Yes | European Dead Zone, The Gulch | Fallen | Ghost: "A prototype, or the runt of the litter? Or are the Archon priests trying out new shell design. " | [picture] |
| [EDZ-TG-3 | Yes | European Dead Zone, The Gulch | Cabal | Ghost: "I can see some of the data going through this thing. The Red Legion at the base are talking to soldiers on Mars, Venus, Nessus...they're everywhere." | [picture] |
| EDZ-TL | Yes | European Dead Zone, Trostland | Fallen | Ghost: "The Fallen hid this one pretty well. I guess after we beat them up during the SIVA crisis they'd want to give us as wide a berth as possible." | [picture] |
| EDZ-TL | Yes | European Dead Zone, Trostland | Fallen | Ghost: "Some intersting data in these things... hmm. I think they came all the way from Venus with the old House of Winter " | [picture] |
| EDZ-SM-1 | Yes | European Dead Zone, Salt Mine | Fallen | Ghost: "These House banners are rare on the ground these days. Between the Guardians and the Cabal they've buried a lot of the old grudges. All four hands on deck." | [picture] |
| EDZ-TS-1 | Yes | European Dead Zone, The Sludge | Ghost: "A power box for an underground security system. I guess it wasn't enough to protect against the Collapse. And the Fallen. And the Hive. And the Taken. And the Red Legion. But i bet it worked pretty well against bears." | ||
| EDZ-TS-2 | Yes | European Dead Zone, The Sludge | Ghost: ""There's still some kind of energy in this Shard, but... different from what we use. I still don't understand how the corruption AND the Traveler's power can coexist so strongly. But I guess there's a lot we don't understand." " | ||
| EDZ-TS-3 | Yes | European Dead Zone, The Sludge | Indeterminate | Ghost: "The emergency light is still working, but the rest of this tech fizzled out a long time ago. I wonder how many people escaped after the Collapse." | |

| Nessus, Pools of Luminance | Vex | Ghost: "There's nothing special about this crystal chard. Well, other than it being buried in a radiolarian vapor cloud that carries the energy readings of six stars. I guess that's pretty special." | [picture] | ||

| Why is the Shard in Europe? | The Farm | Traveler | Ghost: "A Shard of the Traveler. I can't find any of why it's here, or how it got here. We're a long way from the City, you know I want to believe it's here for a reason. For us." | [picture] | |
| Devrim Kay defended the Wall | The Farm | Devrim Kay | Ghost: "Devrim spent years defending the City from places just like this along the Wall. I can see why he found this spot comforting." | [picture] | |
| Hawthorne to the rescue. | The Farm | Hawthorne | Ghost: "If Hawthorne hand't been out there in the wilds, on the lookout for people escaping the City... well I'm glad we met her. Who knows where we'd be now?" | [picture] | |
| Farm, sweet farm. | The Farm | - | Ghost: "Look at this. I've heard some of the civilians talk about settling down out here once the fighting stops. I'm not sure that's such a good idea but... you can't argue with the view" | [picture] | |

| New Pacific Arcology recycling systems | Titan (moon), The Rig | New Pacific Arcology | Ghost: "the idea was that the facility produced zero waste. Everything organic ended up fertilizer, and everything else got used in manufacturing. Grand plans... that didn't pan out. " | [picture] | |
| The Fallen are united. | Titan (moon), The Rig | Fallen | Ghost: "Skolas tried to unite the Fallen Houses but failed. Who would have thought that sheer desperation would succeed where he failed." | [picture] | |
| The Hive acellerate evolution. | Titan (moon), The Rig | Hive | Ghost: "Yet another strain of Hive. They're doing an awful lot of testing out here. Trying new things with magic and - ugh - breeding." | [picture] | |
| New Pacific Arcology Artificial Intelligence | Titan (moon), Festering Halls | New Pacific Arcology | Ghost: "The Arcology's operating system isnt very smart. Nothing even close to an AI. Lots of entries here, different names. It may not have had a personality, but it made living here better for a lot of people." | [picture] | |
| Hive breeding generations | Titan (moon), Festering Hall | Hive | Ghost: "These Hive spawn pods are different from the ones we saw before. Maybe a different brood. Or a different generation. Gross and confusing." | [picture] | |

| City reconstruction plans. | Tower, Courtyard. | - | Ghost: "Blueprints for a bunch of modular housing, bridges, some simple shopfronts... I think these are reconstruction plans for City blocks. As bad as the Tower had it, some parts of the City are just...gone." | ||
| Dead Orbit's myspace terminal. | Tower, Hangar | Dead Orbit | Ghost: "This terminal looks like it's in use as a forum for Dead Orbit folks. About what you'd expect: lots of pictures of people wearing black, and nihilistic poetry." | ||
| Mysterious Frame modifications | Tower, Hangar | - | Ghost: "Someone's been trying to modify one of Shaxx's Redjacks! But all the interface history shows is access by other frames. 'Arctie and Dahlia', it says. Over and over. 'Arcite and Dahlia'." | ||
| Speaker's quarters reconstruction | Tower, Courtyard | Speaker | Ghost: "They rebuilt the Speaker's private quarters even after the reconstruction. I still can't believe that he's gone. He wasn't the first Speaker, and...he can't be the last, right? We still need a Speaker. Don't we?" | ||
| Banshee terminal logins. | Tower, Courtyard| | Banshee-44 | Ghost: "The last login of this terminal was by Banshee-44, but... he tried and failed so many logins as Banshee-41 that it locked him out. All those reboots must have finally gotten to him." | ||
| Banshee-44's old storefront | Tower, Bazaar | Banshee-44 | Ghost: "I think this is where Banshee used to set up. You know that number after his name isn't for show right? Amanda told me he really has been rebooted 44 times. How can he remember anything at this point? | ||
| The Traveler is awake | Tower, Bazaar | Traveler | Ghost: "Things seem like they're back to normal around here. It's like nothing's changed. But with the Traveler AWAKE now, that can't be true. Things are going to get better... right?" | ||
| Market activity resumes. | Tower, Bazaar. | - | Ghost: "Look at all these inventory notes. Looks like everyone is trying to get the Tower's market back on track. Tess, Banshee, Rahool, Eva Levante ... they're all working together on this stuff." | ||
| Where is Eris Morn? | Tower | Eris Morn | Ghost: "I think this used to be a terminal used by Eris Morn. Lots of notes in here about the Hive, their Prince Crota. The Taken King, Oryx. (sigh) I wonder where she went off to?" | [picture] | |
| Heavy casualties as a result of Red War | Tower | Cabal | Ghost: "Maintenance logs from a systems engineer. She talks about having to do tasks for two people now that her mechanic buddy is gone. Everybody lost someone when the Cabal attacked us." | [picture] | |
| Amanda's holiday retreat | Tower | Amanda Holliday | Ghost: "All this stuff belongs to Amanda Holliday. I think I heard her mention this place once: her 'secret hideaway to get away from all that nonsense in the Hangar'. Let's not tell anyone about it." | [picture] | |
| Hawthorne studies history and lore | Tower | Hawthorne | Ghost: "Hawthorne told me she comes up here to read sometimes. She's studying up. Vanguard history, the consensus, faction wars, even books about the founding of the City! Huh. I wonder where Louis goes while she's here." | [picture] | |
| Ikora Rey invites civilians to Tower | Tower | Ikora Rey | Ghost: "If I'm reading this right, Ikora is pushing hard for civilians to have easier access to the Tower. It's nice to see... you know. People up and around here." | [picture] | |
| New Monarchy recruiting problems | Tower | New Monarchy | Ghost: "Hmm. With everyone embracing Hawthorne's 'power to the people' message, maybe they don't have as much patience for factions like New Monarchy" | [picture] | |
| Commander Zavala tracks suspicious chaacters | Tower | Zavala | Ghost: "Huh. Communications between Amanda Holliday and Commander Zavala. Back and forth and back and forth for weeks, keeping track on shady characters in the Hangar. Nothing gets past Zavala." | [picture] | |
| Journal of Ana Bray | Tower, Hangar | Ana Bray | Ghost: "Looks like a journal: Ana Bray. But I cant tell who - Pretty much the entire thing is redacted. And there are whole pages missing. Something about all this seems... wrong. Am I worrying too much?" | ||
| Spying on Dead Orbit representative Arach Jalaal | Tower | Dead Orbit | Ghost: "This is weird. Was someone... spying on Arach Jalaal? Some of the papers are signed 'Arach' but it's not Jalaal's handwriting. I don't think i'll ever understand faction politics." | [picture] | |
| Stealing from the King | Tower | New Monarchy | Ghost: "I think someone stole these supplies from New Monarchy! Reference in the logs to 'following Hawthorne's lead'. I wonder what that means." | [picture] | |
| No Eva Levante? No shaders. | Tower | Eva Levante | Ghost: "I keep expecting to show up in the Bazaar and see Eva Levante here. This spot's right around where she used to set up shop. I haven't heard much about her since we reclaimed out home, other than that she survived. No one's heard from her in a while, though." | [picture] | |
