List of Osiris quotes

Messages from Osiris to Zavala

First Message

• Zavala. This is Osiris. I promised you updates, so... here we are.
• There's no much to tell. Mercury, Mars, Io, and Titan are gone.
• With that in mind, I wanted to give you the gift of perspective. I am sending you an artifact. Long kept in the care of my... followers.
• It is of Hive origin: a fang of Xivu Arath, sister to the Taken King, Oryx.
• The Traveler may have reformed, but until it acts, understanding the Darkness is our best chance of defeating it.
• Perhaps in this relic, there is a real, tangible hope. Not just empty promises.

Second Message

• I needed to put some distance between myself and Earth. [sighs] So I headed to the Dreaming City.
• The city itself is still caught in its curse loop. I have doubts we'll ever be able to undo the damage the Taken caused here.
• Unsurprisingly, Petra remains useless. She doesn't know where her Queen is, and that leaves us with fewer allies.
• Oh, and, uh... let Saint know I found the letter he hid in my ship. Tell him – no, never mind. I'll tell him myself.

Third Message

• I came back to the Tower, but you were in a meeting with Ikora, so I went to see how Ana's work with Rasputin is progressing.
• She's made several failed attempts at importing his consciousness into the body of a dead Exo.
• Ana has a brilliant mind, but she's squandering herself trying to salvage the remains of that Golden Age tyrant.
• She should put her talents towards something more... productive.
• Maybe I'm just bitter.

Fourth Message

• Hmm. The orbital path of Nessus has changed. Likely due to the sudden disappearance of the Leviathan.
• I could not find any evidence of long-range scans. But remnants of the Cabal still linger.
• According to the intercepted transmissions, Calus's daughter, Caiatl, is trying to rally what's left of the Red Legion.
• As if we didn't have enough problems.

Fifth Message

• I'd gone to the Reef, hoping to find insight into Caiatl's agenda among the Cabal there. Instead, I found something else.
• There's a... new strange presence here. It grows as an organic technology, like a small tower.
• There were Cabal gathered around it, enraptured by something I could not perceive. Perhaps their own desperation — or madness.
• A long-range scan of the structure was inconclusive, save for confirming it was of Hive origin.
• I need to determine whether it was just delusion attracting the Cabal... or something more.

Sixth Message

• Every day, there is some new horror.
• I stayed in the Reef to further observe those Hive-enraptured Cabal. They did not rest – simply spent hours kneeling before the structure.
• Sometimes they screamed. Other times they cried, but mostly, they were just... silent.
• They left come morning, wandering out on the fringes of the Shore.
• I decided to examine the structure more closely, and, uh... I'm certain I... I heard something. Calling to me. Beckoning.
• Sagira convinced me not to perform any further investigation for the time being.
