'''(Mission Begins)''' | |||
*'''[[Caiatl]]:''' Commander Zavala, we agree to the [[Rite of Proving]]. The Cabal sends forth its champion. | |||
*'''[[Zavala]]''': The challenge is met. Our blood flows together. May it tend to unity. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Empress Caiatl — we invoke the Rite of Proving. The Vanguard sends forth its champions. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' The challenge is met. Our blood flows together. May it tend to unity. | |||
'''Enter the [[Halphas Electus]]''' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' This is the Halphas Electus, the digger of graves, her mouth packed with red soil. I do not grant you safe passage. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You willingly enter the Halphas Electus. I welcome you, but my forces… they do not. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You willingly enter my imperial Land Tank, the Halphas Electus. You honor me. May you meet a glorious death. | |||
'''Approaching the Infantry Concourse''' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' This tank is like a living thing. She breathes, she moves… and she will spit out your bones. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' My war machine purrs. She hungers for battle. Have you the same appetite? | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' My tank is restless. Do what you came for — fight well or die quickly. | |||
'''Traverse deeper into the Tank''' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You crawl through an imperial tank, fighting against an army… for what? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' To stop another despot before they pass beyond the reach of reason. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You fight well, Guardians. A shame you must pay the price for your commander's pride. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' The Guardians kneel to no one… not even me. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' All feel fear, Commander. Some learn from it, while others are ruled by it. Which are you? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' I refused to bend the knee. What does that tell you? | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' We lost our world to the [[Hive]]. Why will you not stand with us? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' We sign no treaties at the end of a gun. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Guardians. Join my Cabal and let our alliance armor the stars. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' We could work together, Caiatl. But as equals, not your vassals. | |||
'''Clear out the Vehicle Bay''' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' How many more Cabal stand between my champion and you? | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' All swore their lives to their empress. They can use them as they wish. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' My warriors pledge themselves to the Rite of Proving. Cut them down if you can. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' If it must be done. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Going through the vehicle bay? My pilots enjoy a challenge. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Then they shall have one. | |||
'''The Guardians defeat the Imperial Cabal troops and [[Goliath Tanks]] within the Vehicle Bay. They traverse deeper into the maintenance bay.''' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Keep working your way beneath the outer plates. According to Amanda, you'll emerge near the power relays. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Guardians? I have prepared further challenges for you. A banquet of combat to test your resolve. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' The Guardians are coming for your champion. They're not here for your hospitality. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' And my father said you were such fun. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Your Guardians scurry through my tank like vermin. Is this how the [[Vanguard]] fights its wars? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Our fight is with your champion. We need not slaughter every Cabal in your army. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Do not expect gratitude. Those you leave behind will grow. They will learn. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Good. If our foes are capable of growth, let us be the catalyst that forces them to change. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' My champion awaits in the locus of honor! Why do you skulk through the maintenance areas? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' We will deal with your champion in due time… though we may destroy your tank in the process. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Ha, we are Cabal! We eat the mountains; we drink the seas! | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Yes. And we are here to stop you. | |||
'''The Guardians venture through the passageways of the Halphas Electus.''' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You seek to drive a knife into the heart of my tank? My troops will defend its life with theirs! | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' I know stories of fiends who cut at the legs of powerful heroes. My tank will not be felled so easily. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You would attack my tank directly? It is sacred to my men. They will fight as though its oil were blood. | |||
'''The Guardians defeat the Imperial Cabal troops by the maintenance bay and deposit two charges to activate the tanks elevator. The Guardians board the elevator.''' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Your warriors are merciless, Commander. Are all Lightbearers so… bloodthirsty? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' My Guardians do what they must. Today, they must be champions. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' My warriors do not die easily. They fight because I gave them their freedom. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Imagine if they fought because you gave them hope. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Such strength. Look what your Light can do. I seek that power — not for myself, but for my people. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' How selfless. Perhaps we can discuss this further after your people stop trying to kill us. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' I see now how you fight, Guardians. Your potential is wasted running errands for your Commander. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Enough. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You take to ritual combat well, Commander. Do you enjoy it? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' There is no pleasure in killing. If this one act of barbarism will force peace… so be it. | |||
'''The Guardians travel deeper to challenge Caiatl's champion.''' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Hold strong, Guardians. One final victory is all I ask. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' My champions are ready, Caiatl! Is yours? | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl, prepare your champion! | |||
'''The Guardians initiate the Right of Proving.''' | |||
'''[[Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl]] appears.''' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Let the Rite of Proving commence! | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Now, the final trial! Battle against the champion of the Cabal! | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' Arise, my chosen! Fight for the glory of the Cabal! | |||
'''The champion of the Cabal, Ignovun, is defeated.''' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl. Your champion falls. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' I yield, I yield! Let us meet and discuss this treaty. You may be a soft, small man, Zavala, but you hide some powerful tusk! | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Thank you. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl, your champion falls. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' The Rite of Proving is over. By the victor's rule, the Halphas Electus, and the souls aboard it, are yours to destroy. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' We take nothing but your word. Tend to your men and your tank… but break our agreement, and we will be back to finish what we started. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl. Your champion falls. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You have honored our traditions… and I must honor yours. I will see you soon… to "bargain." | |||
*'''Zavala:''' I am glad to hear it. You will find our talent for diplomacy matches our skill in combat. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl. Your champion falls. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' I pride myself on seeing the strength in others, and yours can no longer be denied. When can be discuss this treaty of yours? | |||
*'''Zavala:''' As soon as I brief the strike team, Empress. I hope the blood spilled here today will be the last. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl. Your champion falls. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' I… did not imagine this outcome. Your Guardians have powers told of in the old stories. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Our vaults are full of relics from those who underestimated us. If you ever cross the Vanguard again… bring a bigger tank. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Caiatl. Your champion falls. | |||
*'''Caiatl:''' You have claimed victory in the Rite of Proving. I am bound to our agreement. | |||
*'''Zavala:''' Your champion fought with honor, and you accept defeat in the same way. | |||
