As the Guardians works with Elisabeth Bray in gathering the Stasis research of Clovis Bray I himself, the Exo Stranger discovers that, before her defeat, Eramis and her council had discovered the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], the birthplace of the Exos, and a large force of Salvation Fallen is mobilizing from the Crypt. Calling in the Guardians to clear out the facility to prevent any of Clovis's knowledge and research from falling into the Fallen's hands, they form a raid team to enter the facility. Fighting past Fallen and the Crypt's security systems, the Guardian discover that Clovis Bray perfected the creation of the Exos through the use of Clarity Control, discovered through his research on a statue of a cloaked figure, similar to the ones found in the Pyramids. | |||
As they Guardians delve deeper into the facility they encounter the last surviving member of Eramis's council, [[Atraks, the Wildcard]]. However, Atraks had gone through the Exo process and fully turned herself into a machine. Further, using Clovis Bray conversion technology, Atraks was able to bring back an old foe: Taniks, the Scarred, now fully machine. Enraged at seeing the Guardian that bested him before, Taniks lashes out before escaping the lab, leaving the Guardians to battle Atraks. Despite her use of robotic clones, the Guardians are able to use the labs augmentations against her, leading to Atraks defeat. With the Wildcard's death, the Guardians pursue Taniks which ultimately takes them to the Morning Star space station orbiting Europa. | |||

The Guardians traverses the space station as they pursue Taniks but as they battle with the Fallen, the station's AI initiates it's Nuclear Decent protocol, a contingency Clovis Bray had put into place to prevent his work from falling into the "wrong hands". However, the protocol would cause the space station to fall unto Europa and the explosion could very well destroy the moon and everything on it. Racing to stop the nuclear protocol before they reach Europa, the Guardians find Taniks at the nuclear chamber. As the Guardians in stalling Taniks, they prevent the nuclear cores from charging, saving Europa. However, though the nuclear explosion was prevent, the stations decent continued, forcing the Guardian team to reach a secure bunker, with Taniks in hot pursuit. Managing to reach the bunker before Taniks, the Guardians just barely survive the crash. | |||
Crawling out of the wreckage, the Guardians find that Taniks had also survived the crash at the last second by merging with a Heavy shank, now calling himself Taniks, Abomination. Battling with the enhanced Fallen mercenary once more, along with Salvation Fallen that also managed to survive the crash, the Guardians find that Taniks is his new mechanically monstrous form makes him nearly invulnerable. However, making use of spare nuclear cores and augmentation terminals, the Guardians are able to wound Taniks, exposing his core. Desperate and enraged, Taniks makes one last violent stand against the Guardians but they ultimately prevail, destroying Taniks once and for all. | |||
==Aftermath== | |||
With Eramis and her council defeated and dead, their army leaderless and sabotaged, the House of Salvation is left completely crippled. What was once a great and powerful house that had the potential to nearly destroy the Guardians is now left broken and to the subzero winds of Europa. Though pockets of the House of Salvation would remains, they would never become the same threat as they were under Eramis and her council. | |||
The Deep Stone Crypt Raid would ultimately be the last major push the House of Salvation would make but their efforts in raiding the Crypt left the facility open to all and defenseless. As such, Elisabeth Bray has the Guardians secure the crash site to prevent any Fallen from claiming what's left of the station and to search for whatever other secrets Clovis Bray had hidden in the crypt. | |||
