Ikora: No, not—I don't question your belief. | Ikora: No, not—I don't question your belief. I'm asking why she is here. Why Earth? Please, try to be clear. There is no time for cryptic half-answers and almost-truths. | ||

Eris: There may be no stopping what comes. The Hive in Old Russia—in that dead land—their assault on the Cosmodrome is no coincidence. They move against the Light with purpose. Always with purpose. | Eris: There may be no stopping what comes. The Hive in Old Russia—in that dead land—their assault on the Cosmodrome is no coincidence. They move against the Light with purpose.

I am hoping the [[Warmind]]s may hold further answers—that they can see into worlds where we can only see what lies upon them. The treasure of knowledge they promise still remains the most sought after of any Guardian. Whoever can find a way past their firewalls of ancient arts, and make them the allies they once were, could spare us further atrocities.

That maybe the Hive or the Darkness itself now have a grasp on his systems. | I am hoping the [[Warmind]]s may hold further answers—that they can see into worlds where we can only see what lies upon them.
