The Owl Sector reconvened for the first time since an event called the Dawn Calamity in response to field reports from Guardians whose armor had become infested with "tech mites", which manifested as swarms of colorful specks that swirled around their heads.<ref name="OS">[http://owlsector.bungie.net/archive.html#en Bungie.net - Owl Sector Records]</ref> Five varieties of tech mite were documented, each with a unique coloration: Brilliance 3.2 (green), Glory 2.1 (white), Splendor 2.6 (yellow), Magnificence 2.0 (blue), and Fortitude 3.1 (pink). The tech mites originated from the [[Dust Palace]] on [[Mars]], but rapidly spread to other Guardians. While this phenomenon, designated "Transmission", initially alarmed the Vanguard as it overrode Guardians' armor systems, Guardians responded to it with enthusiasm and mocked attempts by the Owl Sector to quarantine them.<ref name="OS"/> | The [[Owl Sector]] reconvened for the first time since an event called the Dawn Calamity in response to field reports from [[Guardians]] whose armor had become infested with "tech mites", which manifested as swarms of colorful specks that swirled around their heads.<ref name="OS">[http://owlsector.bungie.net/archive.html#en Bungie.net - Owl Sector Records]</ref> Five varieties of tech mite were documented, each with a unique coloration: Brilliance 3.2 (green), Glory 2.1 (white), Splendor 2.6 (yellow), Magnificence 2.0 (blue), and Fortitude 3.1 (pink).

Unable to contain the mites' spread among the Guardians, the Owl Sector and Vanguard instead implemented a quarantine on the [[Last City]] in order to prevent non-Guardians' exposure. Meanwhile, Bypass Authority [[Berriole]] traveled to the Dust Palace to learn the origin of the tech mites. She followed sets of tracks to a lab, where various locked storage cabinets had been cut or blasted open. At a console in the lab, she discovered the mites were linked to a [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] project overseen by a Dr. [[Zarin Shirazi]] who worked under Dr. [[Willa Bray]]. Berriole transmitted records of Dr. Shirazi's experiments with the mites, which had been encrypted to an unusual degree, to the Owl Sector. The records revealed that the tech mites were a nanomachine therapy to improve subjects' intelligence and strength for the Golden Age's colonization effort, but they produced several unforeseen side-effects including manic and paranoid behavior, loss of voice, levitation, and comas. Shirazi developed a countermeasure and saved the test subjects, but she had become disillusioned with the project and recommended to Dr. Bray that it be abandoned.<ref name="OS"/> | Unable to contain the mites' spread among the Guardians, the Owl Sector and Vanguard instead implemented a quarantine on the [[Last City]] in order to prevent non-Guardians' exposure.
