Petra Venj: Difference between revisions

Petra was eventually alerted to a massive riot occurring in the Prison of Elders and contacted Cayde for backup. She met him and [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]] on one of the prison's landing platforms and was questioned by the Hunter Vanguard about what she brought for the fight. Stating she had her usual, Petra pulled her knife from its sheath and demonstrated her telekinetic abilities with it after Cayde begged her to. When he wanted her to do it again, she told him she might later before turning serious and briefing them on the situation. The general population blocks were out-of-control, but the main arena and lower levels remained locked down. However, Petra was concerned that the core security systems might fail and make containment an issue. As the three split up and entered the prison, Petra cautioned that they needed to quell the riot before it got out of hand and escapees began overrunning the Reef. When a series of massive explosions rocked the prison, Petra informed the others she would get eyes on it and ordered them to join her when they could. The Young Wolf's Ghost reassured her they were on their way, and as Petra fought through more inmates, she requested they hurry as the blast had opened more cellblocks. As she finished the last of a group of Fallen rioters, Petra exclaimed that she loved fieldwork just as the Young Wolf arrived. Noting that the lower levels security system had been disabled by the explosions, she told them that she would go check on the high-value prisoners while they and Cayde headed to the security hub to restore power.<ref name="LC">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Last Call]]''</ref>

With the power knocked out Petra was forced to take the long route to the supermax cells and reported her slow progress to the Guardians when they notified her they were at the security hub. Cayde soon notified her that they had secured the hub and would clear her a path to supermax soon. Once power was restored, Petra gained access to the lower levels and stated she needed to check on a couple things to ensure the prison was secured. Upon opening the cellblock to the Scorn and Uldren's cells, Petra was horrified to discover they were all missing and informed Cayde, warning him that it was not a riot but a prison break they were dealing with. She ordered them to head for the airlock on deck zero which was the only way to escape from the lower levels. As she ran out of the cellblock, Petra was astounded to see Cayde riding the security hub down the central shaft to reach the bottom floors quickly. As the hub exploded upon impacting the bottom of the prison she shouted his name in horror and began rushing down to join him. By the time she reached the bottom, Petra was too late to assist and discovered the Young Wolf cradling Cayde's corpse, with the Hunter Vanguard having been murdered by Uldren and the Barons before they escaped.<ref name="LC"/>

====Scouring the Tangled Shore====

Petra set out to hunt down Uldren and traveled to the Tangled Shore, where the Scorned Barons had ousted the Spider from his headquarters and sent him into hiding within his [[Spider's Safehouse]]. Suspecting that Uldren had sent them there to do something with the Watchtower, Petra hoped to recruit Spider into helping fight the Scorn, but he refused to open his doors while a Scorn threat remained nearby. Upon learning that the Young Wolf was also in the Shore hunting the Scorn, Petra hacked into their comms and relayed her plan to them before sending two of the Spider's associates, [[Arrha, Spider's Associate|Arrha]] and [[Avrok, Spider's Associate|Avrok]], to help the Guardian. As the three clear the area of [[Thieves' Landing]] of Scorn Petra explained to the Young Wolf how [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]] had the power to bring dead Fallen back to life as twisted monstrosities. The Ghost questioned why the Barons had come to the Shore, but Petra was reluctant to reveal her suspicions due to it being Reef business. Once the area was secure, Petra met the Young Wolf at the entrance and prepared to introduce them to the Spider.<ref name="HPB">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[High Plains Blues]]'' </ref>

===Fight for the Dreaming City===

====Silencing the Voices====

{{Quote|I have protected. I have hidden. I have believed. Now, I want answers.|Petra Venj}}

After entering the Dreaming City, Petra soon discovered the cause of Uldren's corruption: the [[Ahamkara]] [[Riven]] had been [[Taken]] and now infested the heart of the [[Keep of Voices]], and that [[Kalli]], [[Shuro Chi]], and [[Sedia]] were also Taken. In addition, Taken and Hive infested much of the city while Scorn also invaded. She was soon joined by the Guardian and met them at the [[Oracle Engine]], which she intended to use to contact Queen Mara and inform her of all that had happened. Petra discovered that the offering to the Oracle was missing and requested that the Guardian look for it. She then explained some of the history of the Dreaming City to the Guardian, including how it was evacuated just prior to the Taken War and locked down until everything was supposedly safe. She revealed that outsiders were usually forbidden from entering the sacred city, as it was one of many hidden cities throughout the Reef and dedicated to learning from greater powers, meditating, and transcending. Petra also told the Guardian that the Oracle Engine was supposedly used by Mara to walk between realities and was said to be able to communicate with her while doing so. The Guardian's Ghost noted she talked as if Mara still lived, and Petra reassured them she was not mad like Uldren, but simply had faith that Mara had a plan and did not perish at Saturn. She then questioned if they had encountered the Taken [[Techeun]]s and vowed to save them if possible.<ref name="AWK">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Awakening (mission)]]''</ref>
