A victory over the [[Vex]] collective mind. From deep in that vault, we've received a signal laced with an old Vanguard signature. Vex technology disrupts the weft and weave of time itself. If a Guardian has become lost, unstuck in time, we must return them home. | ||

Several dozen Taken appear throughout the Well, and the Guardian is forced to fight them. They are, eventually, victorious.'' | ||
