<b>Presage</b> (also known as <b>Exotic Quest: Presage</b>) is an [[Exotic Mission]] introduced in <i>[[Season of the Chosen]]</i> and can be accessed on the [[Tangled Shore]]. The activity can be unlocked by retrieving an Intercepted Distress Signal at the beginning of [[The Arms Dealer]] [[strike]]. Once acquired, go to the [[Tower]] and speak to [[Zavala]] who will give you a quest titled The Voice on the Other Side. Completion of this activity on Normal difficulty rewards the [[Guardian]] with the [[Dead Man's Tale]] Exotic [[scout rifle]]; whereas completion on Master difficulty yields the Dead Man's Tale [[Exotic Catalysts|Catalyst]].

 

*'''[[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|OSIRIS]]:''' Several months ago, a Cabal vessel bearing the name "Glykon" disappeared near the Reef. This ship matches its description and heading. So far, our hails have gone unanswered, and the distress signal continues to loop. You're clear for live-fire engagements. Board it, and find our missing [[Katabasis|Guardian]].

*'''OSIRIS:'''There's a distortion in the field- no, frequencies... like ripples meeting in conversation. Executing trace. Stand by.

''Arriving on the other side of the Glykon's entrance door, the fireteam notices the strange spores blocking the path forward. Shooting the spores grants passage onward.''

''The team journeys deeper into the ship, noticing the electric field blocking the direct path forward. The team circles around, encountering multiple Scorn and more spores on the way.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' I've found the journal of Calus's scribe, [[Amsot]]. Translation as follows: "Today, Calus graced the Glykon with his presence and gazed upon the anomaly. His councilors prepare the exhibition chamber with gold from the Castellum. They are confident the [[Crown of Sorrow|crown]] is ready. The end will lay eyes upon him, and weep at his magnificence."

''The fireteam falls down to an active trash compactor of the ship, but manages to disable it before being crushed to death, venturing further through an unlocked hatch on the compactor floor.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Guardian, I've pieced together another of Amsot's records. It reads: "A tragedy of silence. He tore the wilting failures apart himself. The connection is strong but the Darkness does not speak through them. An ocean without wind. Even the Lightbearer could not coax it to awaken."

''The team eventually arrives at the boilers of the ship, where they encounter the same Scorn, now dubbed Locus of Communion, which attempts to kill them personally this time.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Guardian. This anomaly left in Mars's wake... I have seen it and others like it. In place of each world the Darkness stole. At the edge of our heliopause. Calus meant to commune with the Darkness.

''On the bridge, they find the dangling corpse of the Guardian they were searching for and his weapon, [[Dead Man's Tale]], propped up on the ground below him.''

*'''OSIRIS:''' Faint traces of Light. That thing...was a Guardian. We're too late- far too late. Take the rifle. It was offered, was it not? Better in your hands than left for another. I'll speak to Zavala about authorizing exploratory outings. If we can recover our lost friend's Ghost, we may learn more of how he died. Return to the City. We must assess our findings.

*Despite the mission previously being accessed through the Tangled Shore on the Director, the animation that displays your ship dropping into orbit has a unique background.

**This likely has to do with the fact that Presage takes place on the Glykon, not on the Tangled Shore.
