Five years after his demise, Taniks' corpse was recovered by the [[House of Salvation]] led by [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]. Having uncovered the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] during their tenure at [[Europa]]. The deaths of [[Phylaks]] and [[Praksis]] would prompt Eramis to retaliate against [[The Guardian]] that killed them, ordering [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo|Atraks, the Wildcard]] to return to the Crypt and prepare Taniks' body as their biggest trump card against them. | Five years after his demise, Taniks' corpse was recovered by the [[House of Salvation]] led by [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]. Having uncovered the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] during their tenure at [[Europa]], Taniks was rebuilt utilizing resources found at the site.

Later, in an ongoing [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|raid]] upon the Deep Stone Crypt, a fireteam of Guardians would discover to their horror that [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo]] having reawakened Taniks yet again, who immediately begins angrily banging on a window in [[Clarity Control]] after spotting them. After Atraks-1 was killed, Taniks breached the control room of the Morning Star Station; an act that would prompt the Clovis-AI to activate the orbital station's nuclear descent protocol and decimate [[Europa]] upon impact. The team of Guardians managed to disarm the station's nuclear protocol just as the [[Morning Star]] descends to the surface, leaving Taniks to seemingly perish when the station broke apart upon reentry. At the crash site [[Restricted]], However, Taniks survived the impact by merging himself with a [[Heavy Shank]] at the last minute, and re-emerges as a monstrous hybrid now dubbed '''Taniks, the Abomination''' once the fireteam goes to investigate a pile of rubble. Desperate to succeed where he had repeatedly failed years ago, Taniks puts up a last stand in the crash site, but is finally dismantled for good at the hands of the fireteam. | Later, in an ongoing [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|raid]] upon the Deep Stone Crypt, a fireteam of Guardians would discover to their horror that [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo]] having reawakened Taniks yet again, who immediately begins angrily banging on a window in [[Clarity Control]] after spotting them.
