Häkke armory got hit same time as the Tower disturbance. Forensics suggests that three Psions used a kinetic splitter to get through the security barrier and matter displacement anchors to make the concrete wall permeable. 

Can't get a straight answer on what Häkke was storing here. Salvage, not manufactures. Looks like ship parts, but I can't tell from what vessel. No one is giving me clearance to do a full analysis; have to sign it over to the Warlock Vanguard. 

// VanNet—SECURE-04 // FORCES_OF_THE_CITY_INVESTIGATOR_LOGBOOK_01.7734 // V.Maier //

Found a piece of hardware from the Häkke heist at a chop shop in Peregrine District. Busted the ring up and brought the salvage in. Same make and material as what Häkke was holding on to; Psions must have abandoned it when they were fleeing. Reported it to the Tower, but they're so busy, it could be days before they give a formal response. 

Meanwhile, I'm handing it over to Engineering to see what they make of it. Looks familiar, but I can't place it. 

// VanNet—SECURE-04 // FORCES_OF_THE_CITY_INVESTIGATOR_LOGBOOK_01.7737 // V.Maier //

Had to scrub a few logs. Following up on Engineering's findings. Got myself a day pass out of the City, took a jumpship to the edge of the EDZ. Listened to Vivaldi on the way, helped clear my head. If this turns out to be what I think it is, it could shift the balance of power completely. 

// VanNet—SECURE-04 // FORCES_OF_THE_CITY_INVESTIGATOR_LOGBOOK_01.7738 // V.Maier //

Confirmed. This is unbelievable. Need to get in touch with Lakshmi about this. 

// VanNet—SECURE-00 // VANGUARD_PERMANENT_RECORD_73.10159 // I.Rey //

A City investigator in the Future War Cult's pocket doesn't do us any favors. We picked up Investigator Maier at the City-level security checkpoint and impounded his ship. Of course, Lakshmi is feigning ignorance to all of this, and we don't have enough evidence to dig deeper. Not openly, anyway. 

My Hidden have secured the remains of the Cage that Häkke managed to scoop up after the Red War. But the damage is already done, and it just confirms my fears. Caiatl's people are researching the technology Ghaul used to shackle the Traveler and steal the Light.  

Word of this cannot reach the Lightless.
[4C7BD080][190D5657][RECORDED VIA [REDACTED] SURVEILLANCE NET: TS-04, [REDACTED]]

HLS: Come, hatchlings. Hear the story of the Ether-blood Lightbearer. The one who wields Ethraaks's blades. She wandered a troubled Shore with vengeance in her heart, searching for the one who had wronged her: the devil-turned-spiderling, Driksys. Food and Ether we shared. The House of Light once again found peace with a Guardian, yes?

HLS: We know of Driksys. One who always thirsted for power, cursed machines, Dark flows of energy, it made no difference. This time, he sought power through Cabal; Legion-rumors of vile splinters from Europa filled his mind with temptations.

HLS: Cabal roamed the Shore, battering against one another in displays of might. Like the Kells of old, they fought for the claim to supremacy… to serve Caiatl of the dead-world fleet. Driksys saw many Kells come and go. Driksys understood fragile loyalties. Understood importance of strength seen. Driksys offered Legion use of his ring for their challenges, and from Cabal blood, he drew profit.

HLS: I stood with Driksys before the House of Light. This one saw him weave truthless words to collect promises. Contacts on Europa. Introductions. Shipments. Brought to Spider, entire ring would have died… many Eliksni lose. When the Ether-blood Lightbearer spoke Driksys's name, we imagined another way forward. She did not wish harm on innocent Eliksni, only the Fallen fiend: Driksys… and so this House granted shimmer-cloak to conceal, and passage to find her prey.

HLS: Old friends traded for information, access, codes. Driksys oversaw new ring, made for Cabal battle-trials. Challengers from across the Reef fought to lead the Shore's Cabal. The Lightbearer withheld her rage and made her way beneath the stands. To the overlook, where Driksys watched a champion preparing for challengers… in the ring below.

HLS: Trihn, the Lightbearer, drew blades of Ethraaks and burst into the overlook. To confront Driksys, her heart full with vengeance, her mind set on war. But he was not alone. An emissary of the new empress had come to see the challenges. Receiving this emissary, Cabal Blood Guard. The Lightbearer charged Driksys, and a savage battle ensued.

HLS: She was thrown from the overlook, into the ring of challengers… before a great Cabal Gladiator who spoke to her. The Lightbearer, unbeknownst to her, had issued a challenge by entering his ring. If she did not fight, all Cabal would descend upon her. Her victory must be earned with strength and blade alone. No other weapons. No other powers. A proving she accepted to again clear a path to her prey.

HLS: The Gladiator bellowed laughter at the small Awoken Lightbearer. Their blades met, and over many clashes her speed proved superior to the Cabal's might. The blades of Ethraaks are strong—sliced through Cabal armor, left blood and oil in their wake.

HLS: She had found victory, but as her Ghost tended to her wounds, Driksys-coward fled to safety through transmat. Though, all was not lost. The Lightbearer's battle had drawn eyes of the emissary, who lavished praise on her for her prowess, and issued an invitation to speak with Cabal Empress herself. When the Lightbearer returns to us, the House of Light will be ready to assist her in hunting Driksys again.
[517BD080][102CA114]All was quiet in the Gulch, save for the occasional chirp of birds and the gentle trickle of the river. It might've been peaceful, Chalco Yong thought as she crept along the bank, if it wasn't so damn eerie. Where were the Cabal and their noisome injection rigs? Where were the thundering Pike gangs? Evidently taking the day off, just when it was most inconvenient.

The Hidden agent crouched, running her hand over the smooth stones cluttering the shore. She was hoping to have good news for her next report. Ikora looked so tired at their last check-in.

No wonder. Even before the Pyramids arrived, it felt like their enemies were multiplying at the same rate their allies were decreasing. Now, with four celestial bodies stolen out of the sky, that trend seemed to be accelerating.

And here she was, following a tenuous lead on the whereabouts of the infamous Light Kell into a dead zone.

She briefly considered turning her radio on and checking in, but then she saw it: the ideal skipping stone, palm shaped and perfectly worn. She picked it up, and with a well-timed flick, sent it spinning across the water. The mirror image of blue sky and pine tree tops rippled once, twice, six times before gravity outweighed momentum, pulling the stone beneath the surface.

Suddenly, a frenetic rustling broke out all around her. The trees quivered as hundreds of birds burst forth, shrieking in alarm as they circled in the sky. Chalco whipped around, rifle at the ready, but there was no one. She slowed her breathing, ears open for the telltale whine of speeding Pikes.

The wispy hairs on the back of her neck stood at attention as the air crackled with electricity. A great rumbling threw Chalco off her feet. She rolled as she hit the ground. The second shockwave arrived while she was facedown—a louder and more definitive thud that caused the rocks to jump up and fall back down with a clatter.

Silence returned. When she lifted her head, all seemed as it had moments ago…

…except for the once-clear sky, now streaked with aurorae of many colors.

Chalco leapt up and ran for the ravine wall. She scaled it, then the nearest pine in a matter of seconds. A risky move considering the possibility of aftershock, but she needed height.

It wasn't until she reached the wavery top branches that she saw it. Cresting over the tree line was the Shard of the Traveler, bleeding polychrome rays. Chalco turned her gaze up, following the arc into the stratosphere. What was happening?

Keeping her eyes fixed on the sky, she flipped on her radio. Immediately, Eris Morn's voice echoed over the Vanguard's public frequency: "This will not be the end. It will be an escalation."

A flash, piercing in its brilliance, lit up the southeastern sky. Chalco braced herself against the tree, squeezing her eyes shut. When she opened them, the sky had returned to clear blue and the Shard had returned to its dim, jagged state.

"Huh," she said aloud to no one.
[597BD080][AD652050]Prak'kesh sat on his Gray Hornet, parked in his usual spot at the base of the Tower. The former Guardian read dispatches from Spider's Associates with one eye and watched his runners scurry about with the other. 

The younger kids took bets from all over the City and delivered them to Prak'kesh at appointed intervals. Once the action paid off, the bookie would send the older kids to settle up. Any incalcitrant debtors were dealt with by Tulnik, his enormous ex-Corsair bodyguard, who was currently leaning against the Tower, scratching himself. 

Prak'kesh chirped a low call to Tulnik, who snapped to attention. A fireteam was gliding toward them from across the courtyard. The Guardians' cloaks billowed in a non-existent wind, and their feet barely touched the paving stones. Prak'kesh rolled his eyes. Warlocks. 

Prak'kesh called out, "Looking sharp. I love the… bird… hat." 

"This is Felwinter's Helm, jackass," the Voidwalker fired back. "Prolly costs more than your Sparrow." 

"Good," Prak'kesh retorted, "then you've got the cash to pay your debts. Val Guscu wasn't quite the mad dog you thought she was." 

The Warlocks glanced at each other surreptitiously. "About that," said the Dawnblade, "we don't have the Motes… yet." 

Tulnik, sensing his moment, stepped forward with a menacing flex. Prak'kesh stayed his enforcer with a manicured hand. "Steady, Tully. These are learned scholars. I'm sure they have a needlessly complex plan to make things right." 

"We do," said the Stormcaller through gritted teeth. "Double or nothing on the Guardian Games Crucible this week." 

Prak'kesh gave a low whistle. "That's some heavy action. Who you backing?" 

"Us," the Dawnblade responded. "Against Meliorea's Titans." 

Prak'kesh's eyebrows shot up. "Meliorea's at the top of the leaderboards. She's dangerous. And you guys are… stylish. It's a bad bet. Unless," the bookie tapped the side of his nose, "you know something I don't." 

The Voidwalker tossed her head, as if flicking her hair. Then, realizing she was still wearing her helmet, awkwardly put her hands on her hips. "Let's just say she's about to have a bad case of existential dread the night before the match." 

The Warlocks snickered. "Little trick I picked up from the Psions," the Voidwalker finished. 

"Titans put all their armor on their chests," the Dawnblade opined, "and none between their ears. Like a castle with no roof." 

The Voidwalker guffawed. "Is that why they always look like they're getting rained on?" 

The Stormcaller dropped his voice an octave, puffed out his chest, and lumbered around on bowed legs. "When the only tool you have is a Titan, every hammer is a nail!" 

"Indeed!" the Warlocks chortled and high fived. 

"It's settled, then!" Prak'kesh pulled out his datapad. "You guys beat Meliorea this week, and the slate's clean. Otherwise, I get the Motes," he said and winked at the Voidwalker, "and that fancy hat." 

The Voidwalker was suddenly serious. "Guys. No. Come on," she implored her teammates. "You know how many engrams I had to—" 

"Deal," the Dawnblade interrupted. He removed his gauntlet and pressed his finger to the datapad. 

"Deal!" Prak'kesh smiled broadly. "Good luck in the Guardian Games. Not that you'll need it."
[5B7BD080][99FC4511]SIMULATION RECONSTRUCTION LOG // LA-02-01 // MERCURY 

The Exo Titan Reed-7 cuts an imposing silhouette across the Mercurian sands, the sun at his back. Reed and his Ghost fix their attention on two streaks of fire gleaming across the sky.  

"They're late," Reed's Ghost chirps. 

"Again," Reed notes with a sigh. His eyes follow the burning trails across the dusty beige sky until they reveal a pair of jumpships entering the atmosphere. 

"I'm picking up a… dispute on open comms," Reed's Ghost notes, bobbling through the air around his Guardian. "You may want to brace for impact." 

The jumpships dive low and hug the ground after reentry, kicking up a cloud of sand that billows across the ancient stone courtyard of the Caloris Spires. Reed turns his head to watch them speed off to the opposite horizon. 

 "—believe for a minute that's all we could've done!" A voice shouts over comms and finishes in physical space as Reed's Warlock companion, Shayura,  transmats down to the surface. Crackling bands of energy ripple off of Shayura and another Guardian, a Hunter: Aisha. Shayura is incandescent with anger. Waves of golden fire lap at the sides of her face. 

Reed doesn't say anything as his companions arrive. They're doing enough talking for everyone on Mercury, so he gives them their space, choosing instead to focus on the task at hand. He moves toward the looming structure of the Lighthouse and the Guardians gathered outside, waiting in their queue to compete in the prestigious Trials of Osiris. 

His Ghost looks at him with concern; Reed reassures him with a gentle tap of his finger against the Ghost's shell. But Reed can hear his friends becoming increasingly frustrated with one another. Arguments like this have happened before: Is Eris trustworthy? Should the Vanguard track down Cayde's murderer? Was Cayde's death his own fault for being so reckless? Their disagreements had always ended with understanding. Today, however, things feel different. 

"Hey!" Reed turns and shouts back at them. It's louder than he intended. The bright red Exo recoils a little from the volume of his own voice. The clap of his rebuke distracts both Warlock and Hunter. They look up at him in sudden silence. 

Reed lifts a hand to the back of his neck, scratching sheepishly. "Can we do this later? Please?" 

Shayura and Aisha afford each other a brief and mild look. Wordlessly, they put away their conversational weapons for another time. Shayura draws a Sword and points it across the windswept courtyard toward a group of Guardians, indicating a challenge. 

"Fine," Aisha agrees reluctantly. 

Reed will take that as a victory, however small.
[5B7BD080][AD652050]SIMULATION RECONSTRUCTION LOG // LA-02-05 // SIMULATED LIGHTHOUSE, THE TOWER, LAST CITY

"There's still snow in the cockpit of my jumpship," Aisha says after she appears in a crackling wave of latticework from the subordinate Vex conflux now running simulations of the Lighthouse from the safety of the Tower. 

"Is that why you're late?" Reed-7 asks in a gently teasing tone. Aisha looks around, spreading her hands. 

"And Shayura isn't?" 

"She's coming. How long did you stick around the Stranger's camp after we left?" Reed wonders. Aisha looks away at the Lighthouse across the courtyard. He fails to notice the tension in her posture. 

"Couple hours. I moved around. House of Salvation was putting down stakes out near some Vex ruins; wanted to make sure they didn't stick," Aisha explains, bringing two fingers up to her neck, depressing a button on her armor's collar that summons her helmet around her head in a flash of light. 

Reed snorts and nods. "This is weird, right?" he asks, dropping the topic of Europa. Aisha says nothing in response, waiting for Reed to quantify his assertion. "The simulation. Saint's little… combat closet. It feels real. " 

 "It is real. I mean, we are. The space is a… I don't know, magic? But me and you? The Guardians? We're all us. The dangers may be simulated, but that doesn't make the effects any less real. Saint wouldn't have it any other way," Aisha says, giving Reed an assessing look. "You didn't go into the Infinite Forest, did you?" 

"Hell no," Reed quickly admits. "Couldn't pay me enough to. Can't stand the Vex," he adds with a shudder. "You know how you are with spiders? That's me with the Vex. Don't know why, don't care."

Whatever Aisha was going to say is abruptly cut off when Shayura manifests into the simulated space mid-stride. She walks straight past Reed and Aisha toward the Lighthouse. "Come on." 

Shayura's brusque entrance elicits a concerned look between Reed and Aisha, but they say nothing more on the matter. 

SIMULATION RECONSTRUCTION LOG // LA-02-05 // SIMULATED TRIALS ARENA, SIMULATED LIGHTHOUSE

Reed's shoulder connects with a Guardian on the other team so hard, it breaks every bone in his opponent's chest and sends him straight through the wall. Reed pivots, turning to see Aisha firing her Hand Cannon through the torso of the other Guardian coming up on them with a pair of spectral blades drawn. She's been holding back and Reed can see it, all gunplay, none of her usual fire and flash. 

"Where's Shayura?" Reed asks as he reloads his Scout Rifle. Aisha points down a corridor with two fingers. 

"She's been after that other Awoken Warlock since we started the match. I think she followed him that way," Aisha says, already breaking into a jog. "It's three on one, c'mon." 

Reed shakes his head, hurrying behind Aisha. He remembers what had happened the last time Shayura had broken off on her own. They shouldn't have come back to the Trials, not so soon, not after everything that's happened. Shayura pushed for this, trying to get the fireteam back to normal, but now he worries it was too early. 

When they finally find Shayura, she's standing over a still-living Awoken Guardian whose helmet has been broken, revealing one of his eyes. He stares up at her, at her fire-shrouded Sword. Aisha and Reed train their firearms, prepared to back Shayura up if she misses the finishing blow for the match. But Reed senses something is wrong. Shayura's sight line isn't aimed down at the Guardian; it's aimed up at her opponent's Ghost. 

"Shay?" Aisha asks, a nervous tremor in her voice. 

Shayura lashes out, striking the Ghost with her Sword and knocking it to the ground. The Guardian exhales a scream of plight, and Shayura quickly draws her Sidearm and plants a round in his forehead. The Ghost chirps, squawks. It is only damaged. Shayura holsters her Sidearm again. 

"Shay!" Reed shouts, dropping his Scout Rifle and rushes over to her. This time, though, Shayura expels a blast of force from her palm that knocks Reed onto his back. She turns to the Ghost again, gripping her Sword in both hands, only to feel a sudden stabbing cold rise up her legs and arms. 

Reed watches as blue-black ice crusts over Shayura's legs, snuffs out her fire, and freezes her arm solid, Sword and all. Feather-ice bristles off of her body along with waves of visible cold. Reed's focus snaps to Aisha, one hand extended and waves of cold emanating from her outstretched palm. She had saved the Ghost from Shayura, but the power she wields—he knows it isn't the Light. 

He knows this will change everything.
[5B7BD080][18DDC154]SIMULATION RECONSTRUCTION LOG // LA-02-04 // TENEMENT BUILDING ROOFTOP, PEREGRINE DISTRICT, LAST CITY

"Guardians are arriving from all across the system. Even the Hunters are coming back." 

Reed-7's Ghost has been giving him updates on the minute for the last half hour. He hasn't been able to move since he reached the railing at the edge of the roof. Seeing the Traveler doing anything is cause for alarm, but seeing the Traveler radiating pulses of Light like some kind of beacon is nearly enough to stop the Titan's synthetic heart. He knows his Ghost is still talking, but he's effectively tuned it out. 

Aisha and Shayura are on a lower terrace, far enough away that Reed can't hear them talking, just observe their body language. Both look tense, Shayura most of all. But for all that Reed wants to watch them, he can't seem to keep his eyes away from the Traveler—from the seething waves of blue-white light that erupt from inside its cracked shell, from the way the waves make him feel as they wash over him. It is a vindication to his hope, that the Traveler would not abandon humanity in their hour of need. He wants Shayura to see that, to feel his faith, but each time he looks at her, she seems more distant. 

"Reed." His Ghost says for the fifth time. Reed finally acknowledges his name, looking at his Ghost with uneasy silence. "I feel… strange. Something's happening." It's more a plea to the Guardian than anything. A plea of uncertainty and helplessness. Even his Ghost couldn't tell if the coming tide was going to wash them all away; if this was how the final moments of the Collapse were felt. But in this moment, Reed's only thoughts go to Shayura and Aisha. He looks down at them. 

He sees Aisha, staring up at the Traveler with wide-eyed awe. He sees Shayura looking down, over the edge of the terrace. Her indifference weighs heavy, even as the Traveler throbs like a beating heart and then erupts into a blinding flash of light. 

Reed's last thoughts before the light hits him are of his fireteam. His family. 

When the light fades, when his optic sensors recalibrate , he is moved to simulated tears. The Traveler hangs like a moon over the City. Whole. Reed's faith is reaffirmed in that instant, and tested when he sees Shayura walking away while the City erupts into cheers.
[5B7BD080][A6D3DF54]SIMULATION RECONSTRUCTION LOG // LA-02-03 // BAZAAR, THE TOWER, LAST CITY

The noise of the Bazaar is a background hum, seemingly electrical but performed by so many organic systems.  Reed-7 finds comfort in the banality of human conversation when viewed at a macro level—the impression of life. It's something other than language to him, something he imagines the universe might sound like to a Warlock. At least, he assumes they hear those things. 

There is relief that in this moment,  Reed hears only the people in the Bazaar, not the voices of horror that haunt him from Io's cradle. When he thinks too hard about it, he can still hear the Darkness moaning through his Ghost. Rather than dwell on it, he searches for something else to fixate on, something to distract him. 

The whole of the Bazaar is decorated for the Festival of the Lost, with colorful engram-shaped ornaments hung from decoratively macabre trees. A Ghost—one he's fairly certain belongs to the Warlock Osiris—goes cartwheeling by with a shriek of laughter, trailing cloth wrappings in her wake. The moment of levity helps lift Reed's spirits as he returns to his table in New Monarchy's enclosure where Aisha and Shayura wait for him. 

"Drinks," Reed says, setting down three tall mugs wafting with steam. Aisha offers him a supportive but strained smile. "Careful," he notes as she reaches for a mug, "they're hot." He'd earned the nickname Strike-Dad thanks to obvious and well-meaning cautions like that. 

"There's cinnamon in yours," Reed says to Shayura, who may be asleep, her head down on the table atop her folded arms. Shayura has the wherewithal to give him a distracted thumbs-up. It's at least comforting, if not wholly reassuring. Aisha gives Reed a wordless look of concern and shakes her head. Their talk had not gone well while he was away. 

"I know you're upset about Sloane," Reed says, deciding to tear off that conversational bandage. "But you know the commander's done all he can. We've done all we can. Don't blame yourself for—"

"Thanks," Shayura says without looking up. She sits up enough to grab her steaming mug with two hands and drag the piping hot cider over to herself. She slouches over the mug, breathing in the aroma of cinnamon, honey, apples, and cloves. Her eyes drift shut, and for a moment, she seems more herself. 

Aisha and Reed take a moment to breathe. Give Shayura time to breathe. "I know," Shayura finally says in a small, guilty voice. "I'm sorry." It's hard to tell if she's talking about Sloane, or about her behavior in general. 

"You don't need to apologize to us," Reed says with a look to Aisha, finding her approval. "You should apologize to Leitka  and his Ghost." 

"It was Titan,"  Shayura finally says, staring into her mug. Reed and Aisha look at each other, but neither interrupts. They let her reach that point at her own pace. "I was back on Titan. Like when we were Lightless, surrounded by Hive.  There was this Knight… no matter how many times I killed him, he kept coming back.  I should've died out there." 

"But you didn't," Aisha says, reaching out across the table to take Shayura's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "We got our Light back, and—"

"What happens when the Darkness closes in?" Shayura asks, though she knows neither Reed nor Aisha have the answer. "Will she  be Lightless again? Alone?" 

Reed and Aisha share a look, and the Exo reaches across the table to lay one of his large hands on Shayura's, atop Aisha's. He doesn't have a rousing speech, strong words, or even cold comforts. He just has his presence to offer in support of her traumas. 

He has to hope that's enough.
[5B7BD080][3E93106D]SIMULATION RECONSTRUCTION LOG // LA-02-02 // TRIALS ARENA, THE LIGHTHOUSE, MERCURY

Reed-7's arms feel like they're going to break apart at the seams.  The vibration building in his body threatens to shake him to pieces for every second that he maintains his barrier. It stands as an extension of his Light and also his body. He feels it like a piece of himself, one that he has overextended time and again, as it deflects an Auto Rifle's rapid-fire barrage. 

Only two Guardians are left on the opposing team; the remains of the third are scattered around the area, smoking and sizzling. Reed considers how fast he and Aisha might be able to rush in on their cornered Guardian. Even if Reed gets taken down, it might be enough time for Aisha and Shayura—wherever she is—to secure a victory. 

"Aisha?" Reed asks. His voice rises in concern as his barrier begins to destabilize. He knows it's now or never. But as he looks to Aisha, Reed spies flames forming between her knuckles. 

Aisha has the better plan. 

As the opposing Guardian pauses to reload behind cover, Aisha boosts straight into the air, through the top of the barrier. Reed lets the dome collapse and feels the immediate release of pressure on his limbs, his legs nearly buckling. He watches Aisha glow brightly, spinning like a burning wheel before unleashing a volley of knives made from condensed plasma in every direction. 

To Reed, it simply looks like a flash of fire and smoke as the opposing Guardian collapses in a heap, Aisha landing next to him. With a sigh of relief, Reed-7 gives her as enthusiastic a thumbs-up as he can muster. 

"Did you see Shay while you were up there?" Reed asks. 

"No. She's probably playing tag with the one that keeps going invisible," Aisha replies. "Let's go find her and finish this up." 

A plume of atomic fire rises up over a nearby block of Vex design as if in direct response to Aisha. The Lighthouse emits a soft tone; the nearby Ghosts begin reconstructing their dead Guardians after the match's conclusion. 

A scream rises from the same direction as the fire, spurring Aisha and Reed into action. The pair navigate the familiar Vex architecture quickly. Two more agonized screams fill the air. When they reach the source of the noise, Reed freezes in his tracks as he witnesses Shayura impale the other Guardian through the faceplate of his helmet with her Sword. The opponent's Ghost shrieks in frustration, trying desperately to get between Shayura and his Guardian. 

Aisha is saying something, but all Reed hears is blood rushing in his ears. Not his blood though. The memory of it. Of something buried behind layered plates of carbon-polymer and plasteel weave. Something haunting his synaptic network. In that moment, Reed is outside of his own body, remembering faces frozen in stone, recalling the whispered plea of his Ghost's tortured voice on Io. 

|| Don't you see? || 

 Reed's heart races. 

|| In Light, there is only weakness. || 

The opposing team's Guardian is brought back to life by his Ghost, but before the Guardian can finish shouting a plea to Shayura, the Warlock cuts off his arm in one stroke. She cleaves her Sword through the top of his helmet in a brutal follow-through. Reed feels his chest tightening, feels a sense of panic kicking in. 

|| Only failure. || 

"Shay, no!" Aisha yells, running up to her friend. She wraps her arms around Shayura's midsection. Shayura screams like a frightened animal, lashing out with a swift slash of her Sword in the direction of the Guardian's corpse. 

|| Only death. || 

"Shayura! The match is over!" Reed shouts, snapping back to reality. "The match is over!" 

It takes both Reed and Aisha to restrain the enraged Warlock. Shayura's voice cracks in a feral cry as flames race down her arms and swirl along the length of her blood-slicked Sword. 

"No! No! Stop! No!" Shayura howls, fighting against her comrades. Aisha grabs at Shayura's wrist, keeping her from swinging her Sword again as the freshly resurrected Guardian scrambles away. 

"Shay," Aisha pleads, trying to get through to her. "Shay!" 

Shayura screams an endless wail into the scalding Mercurian sky.

[687BD080][C32F703C]Val Ma'rag  had been "stationed' in the place the Humans called a dead zone  for years now, though he had no commander, no handler . He held the territory on his own, defending it from the stinking, vermin Hive. They reminded him of the tiny red beetles that crawled around in the dust where he'd come up; the ones that swarmed war beast pens and crept into woven clothes. The best way to get rid of them, his mother taught him, was to hold a flame close to the seams of their shells. They snapped and popped in the heat.

He found the same to be true for the Hive. 

By now, he'd stopped expecting anyone to come for him. Their invasion had become a death sentence; one he had accepted by the nature of his position. He would die for the Legion, with or without the promise of reward. 

As Val Ma'rag listened to a transmission from the Empress Caiatl, he thought about how far he'd come since he was recruited. Since he was pulled out of the poorest rural district on his planet. With this new challenge—with the new empress sending her call out into the system—he could go a lot farther. 

///

Europa was cold. Basilius  was no stranger to cold—he'd been stationed on Mars before it disappeared, before his Valus  sent him and his reports off-planet on a recon mission. He didn't care for intel  or resource gathering, but a Valus is law. Or at least, he was. 

After a false start  on Nessus, they'd brought the cruiser to Europa. The icy moon was crawling with thieving Fallen, but there were secrets buried in the ice. Dainty Human technology. It didn't interest him, but the Psions loved to tinker, and they insisted there was something here worthwhile. 

Something that could catch the attention of an empress hoping to regain favor with her scattered people. Something that might win a soldier like him, with no valuable titles or reputation to his name, a new level of recognition. 

And the respect he deserved. 

///

As the voice of their so-called empress droned on from a beat-up radio, the soldiers ate. Commander Dracus picked at the bones of a roasted bird, gun laid across his lap. The little red-violet winged creatures on Nessus didn't have much meat on them, but they were challenging and satisfying to trap. 

"What's she mean, 'ancient rites'?" a young Legionary asked. 

The commander looked up. 

"Old-timer traditions?" she went on. 

Dracus snorted. "An honored tradition," he said. "Beloved by the Praetorate . Warriors take on challengers to prove their battle-worth." He eyed her. "Calves like you wouldn't remember that." 

"Is it open to anyone?" the Legionary asked. 

He laughed. 

"Well," she growled. "Are you taking challengers?" She squared her weight. "You can start with me." 

Dracus looked the bold youngling up and down, calculating the effort. He had no great desire to impress the disgraced emperor's pampered daughter. The leader he knew and served was the dominus , dead or alive. But maybe there was money to be gained from this. He wouldn't turn his nose up at the prospect. 

He tossed the bird bones aside, lifted his gun, and fired a shot right into the Legionary's belly. She fell. 

"I win," he said. 

///

They called her Ixel, the Far-Reaching because she'd risen far above her station in a fraction of her lifetime. 

They called her Ixel, the Far-Reaching because she pulled things from her mind that should be out of reach from memory. 

They called her Ixel, the Far-Reaching because she grasped for everything she could not have. 

It was all true. On the strange terrain of the Nessus centaur, Ixel had extracted herself from command. The Valus had been uncreative, small minded. He hadn't seen the value in the Vex technologies that might amplify Ixel's unique Psionic talents. So she killed him and poached the unit's best fighters. 

Hard to say if this competition was open to traitors of the empire. 

And yet somehow, this new empress, foolish though she was, might be inspired by bold action. 

Not to mention the things Ixel could pull from the prediction engines. Intelligence beyond the empress's imagining. 

They called her Ixel, the Far-Reaching because her ambition was limitless.

[82FCDD80][698B85DF]Mithrax sat on a carpet in his meager quarters, held the Paradrome Cube in his hand, and concentrated.

Hours passed before Eido, concerned, sat beside him. She touched his arm.

"What do you see?" she whispered.

He saw the Endless Night split open. He saw fluid falling like white rain on the City. Massive Minotaurs rising from the shallow seas. He saw the gunfire of the Guardians in the Tower, but it did not reflect on the rippling liquid, and he dismissed the vision.

A hundred more illusions took its place, then a thousand, then a thousand lifetimes' worth:

—a shape frozen inside a crystal prison a towering figure in white recognition flooding bloodshot eyes a city of voices speaking at once shadow taking form the realization they had always been watched tears on metal—

A choice, and its consequences.

"Lies," he answered plainly.

Use Ether to craft Key Codes that can be used to open Conflux Chests in Override.
[8BFCDD80][31B0C7BC]The Sacred Splicers of the House of Light believe they have cultivated a mystical connection to the Traveler. They say they can refocus Light "through the prism of their will."

While we at the Cryptarchy have nothing but respect for Eliksni culture, we wished to explore the truth behind these claims.

After studying one of the few Splicer Gauntlets that fit non-Eliksni hands (graciously created by Mithrax, Kell of the House of Light, for select residents of the Last City), we have determined that the wrist-mounted Gauntlet is little more than a converter that can be used to focus trace amounts of residual Light already present in the environment.

A trained Splicer can use their Gauntlet to interface with any latent data networks in the vicinity. This allows the bearer to access technological mundanities as well as deeper, infinitely more protected networks, including the Vex domain itself.

Once connected, access to these networks is severely limited for the Eliksni Sacred Splicers, though Guardians, due to their unique relationship with the Light, are able to manifest corporeally within the network for short periods of time. They can then alter the data found therein with focused percussive energy—including gunfire—in a baffling scientific process the Cryptarchy does not yet fully understand.

The Gauntlet seems capable of powering itself by transmuting unbound energy into Ether. Traditionally, Sacred Splicers would undertake great journeys to charge their Gauntlets with naturally occurring residual energy, but Guardians can use their martial prowess to convert their foes into bountiful energy sources.

In closing, the Sacred Splicers merely exploit a tool that induces Light to resonate at frequencies approaching that of the Vex Nexus, enabling them to access to certain low-security Vex systems. The Eliksni falsely believe that a deep spiritual connection allows them to bend the Light to their every whim, but this can be ea5ily dismissed as myth—the regre7able bypr0duc7 of ov3r@c71v3|| |  |    |        |

It is disappointing to hear such condescending generalizations from a species who so recently found themselves in the graces of the Great Machine. The Light is more complex than even our greatest Sacred Splicers understand, and yet even those of us without formal training can call upon the grace of the Great Machine to refocus the world around us—even something as insignificant as the writings of a self-important Cryptarch. The Light provides. ~Eido, House Light Scribe

He leans in close. "I'm gonna wager some hefty Glimmer on you, and you're gonna win some Gambit for me, dig?"

Drifter leans back proudly. "C'mon, it'll be fun. Whaddya say, hero?"

[90FCDD80][A9D5348D]"Great work out there, Guardian!" the Drifter says. "I had the Glimmer in my hands! But, well…"

He shrugs his shoulders, palms up in helpless confusion. "Something weird happened when I was cashing in my contraband. I ordered a whole mess of exotic gun parts, but a big shipment of supplies got delivered to the Eliksni Quarter instead! I guess these clumsy fingers of mine hit an elaborate series of wrong keys."

"And—get this—instead of putting 'FOR DRIFTER, HANDS OFF,' I somehow accidentally wrote 'FROM LAKSHMI-2' on all the crates. Can you believe it?"

He shakes his head and grins. "I'll still pretty up your piece for you. Least I can do for you, keeping my embarrassing mix-up to yourself, you get me?"

The Servitor scans the cube with a field of soft light for several moments, then emits a chime and the text changes:

STABLE

He is willing to guide you in your journey to become a Sacred Splicer, while Ikora, Osiris, Lakshmi-2, and Saint-14 assist when they are able.

He asks that you bring him Vex data so he can begin to decode the mysterious Paradrome Cube you claimed from the Vex on Europa. He believes it will reveal how to lift the oppressive simulation that hangs over the City.

"Fight bravely," he says. "Free your people from this Endless Night."

[95FCDD80][9C444686]Mithrax shares what he learned by studying the Vex data you brought him: the City is a conflux, a paradromic knot of threads from the Vex network. The Vex are draining the energy from the City, but beyond that, their motives are unclear.

There is no way to easily separate the City from the Vex domain—for one to survive, the other must be destroyed.

But he sees hope in the future, as your victories against the Vex are visible in the simulated sky. He will continue his studies, upgrade your Splicer Gauntlet, and learn how to break the City free once again.

Mithrax and the House of Light Splicers are working tirelessly to decode the data you retrieve from the Vex network.

Ikora has ordered Saint-14 to oversee the humanitarian operations in the Eliksni Quarter. "If we can turn the Kell-breaker into an advocate for House Light, then others will follow," she says.

"Where the Darkness seeks to divide us, we need only offer out a hand."

She gave her report to Ikora and the rest of the Vanguard, but she feels her warnings were not taken seriously. She tells you she will do whatever she can to stop that future from taking place.

"When I foresaw the Red War, they laughed… until Ghaul bound the Traveler," she says. "This time, I will not whisper my warnings. I will not be polite."

He has never seen anything like this Endless Night. It is as though the air leeches life from everything in the City. The people of the City are under immense stress, and he says he suspects the simulation is somehow draining them, as well.

"The Vex guard powerful secrets," he says. "Tighten your Gauntlet and let us take them."

He feels as though the strange pressures of the Endless Night are bearing down on the City. He speculates this may be a weapon meant to turn a city against itself—or turn the City against those in his House.

"If it will show her we will walk together in peace," he explains, "I will give her all she asks."

Mithrax has compiled the data you brought him and discovered a new path into the Vex domain. He asks you to enter it and consecrate the network inside—purify it with your Light and collapse it around the Vex within.

The Vex seem to be growing alongside your powers, acting to counter your growth as a Splicer. He feels as though there is something in their network no Splicer has encountered before. It is vital you continue to enter the Vex domain and collapse their networks.

He warns you powerful foes will emerge from the Vex domain and that, as a Splicer, you must be ready for them.

[98FCDD80][FAC45E3A]The attack on his people left Mithrax shaken and despondent. You can hear the frustration in his voice even through the Servitor.

Although he feels betrayed, he refuses to retaliate. He tells you he won't stop fighting to protect the very people who took up arms against his Eliksni. "The Light passes through us all," he says. "We focus it through the prism of our will. Those who attacked us were blinded by fear, poisoned by venomous words… but they are not truly our enemies."

He says it is not easy to walk the path of the Light, of forgiveness, but he and his people will walk it nevertheless.

He has faith that your progress as a Splicer will collapse the Vex simulation, but says the night muffles even the impact of your victories.

[98FCDD80][CF8DBDD2]Ikora reports that someone sabotaged the House of Light camp in the Eliksni Quarter.

"This wasn't just an attack on their Ether stores," she says. "Someone wanted to send a message."

She suspects that Lakshmi-2's radio messages triggered the unrest.

"The Vanguard has tolerated her broadcasts, as Zavala doesn't believe it's our place to interfere in civilian politics," she says. "I see now that was a mistake."

She sent Saint-14 down to the Eliksni Quarter to keep the peace and asks you to join him.

"I will speak to the Fallen leader," she says. "Tell it that the Future War Cult will personally replenish their supplies when they are ready to move on."

[9CFCDD80][CF8DBDD2]Quria has been defeated, but there is no relief in Ikora's voice.

"The Dreaming Mind's defeat, as with so many things Vex, is a process," she says. "It will take time for Mithrax and his Splicers to finish untangling our reality from the Vex network."

She is now concerned with helping Osiris reach Lakshmi-2, who still believes the Eliksni will cause the dark future she saw.

But above all, Ikora is watching for Savathûn's next move.

"Everything she does is for a reason, even if it seems beyond our comprehension," she says. "I want to know what she hoped to gain."
[9CFCDD80][6A5715D6]Mithrax wishes to speak with you via the Splicer Servitor.

[9CFCDD80][193FF6DE]Interact with the Splicer Servitor in the H.E.L.M.
[9CFCDD80][BDCE11DF]Mithrax celebrates your victory over Quria.

He looks into the dark of the Endless Night and imagines it slowly lifting, and his spirits lift along with it.

He tells you he is honored to have watched you grow into a Sacred Splicer and hopes that your journey together is not over.

Even through the Servitor, you can hear the joy in his voice when he pictures the future.

"We will have a beautiful sunrise," he promises.
[9CFCDD80][67ABE4E1]Charge your Splicer Gauntlet with Ether so you can claim the secrets of the Vex domain.

[9DFCDD80][0CBDD80F]Speak with Mithrax through the Splicer Servitor in the Eliksni Wing of the H.E.L.M.
[9DFCDD80][3F3ED615]Saint-14, armor still scorched from the earlier battle, greeted you with pride.

"Eliksni. Mithrax," he said. "They stood with us, brothers and sisters in battle."

"This is a bond that cannot break."

"The House of Light is part of the City now," he said, "under the protection of Saint-14."
[9DFCDD80][FF3DE515]There is an urgent message at the Splicer Servitor in the Eliksni Wing of the H.E.L.M.
[9DFCDD80][B6B68822]The Servitor flashes urgently. Words scroll across its viewscreen: EMERGENCY RADIO BROADCAST IN PROGRESS.
[9DFCDD80][C8CD0C3B]Though the attack to the City was thwarted, Ikora was solemn.

She told you that Lakshmi-2's body was recovered from the City—she was one of the first to fall to the Vex. "In the end, she was right about the tragedy looming on our horizon," she said. "If only she could have foreseen that it was of her own making."

The Future War Cult, New Monarchy, and Dead Orbit have fled the City, and she has been unable to locate Osiris. She seems to be taking the losses hard, and she places some of the blame on herself.

"I saw the blight that was forming in our own citizens," she told you, "but I never thought it would lead us here."

She cautioned you to stay wary of what tomorrow may bring. "Eris once said we will only know our enemy's next move if we are wise enough to recognize it," she said.

"My eyes are wide open now. Stay ready."
[9DFCDD80][C5516546]Speak with Ikora in the Tower.

[9DFCDD80][BDA4AD6B]Mithrax's tone is somber, even filtered through the Servitor. "Many victories are made sacred with loss. Our victory over Quria and the Vex is just so."

After a meditative pause, he continues, "It is right to celebrate, but celebration must also remember our lost heroes… Humans and Eliksni. Visit the memorial in the Tower to pay respects."

"In gratitude," he continues proudly, "the Vanguard and the House of Light combine to gift you this ship. May it always remind you of our friendship, and those we lost."

[A6FCDD80][31397345]Return to Ada-1 to learn about the finished Loom.
[A6FCDD80][EE908752]Ada has been working on a project using recovered schematics from Europa. In addition to data, she also needs help retrieving a physical component to complete the prototype.
[A6FCDD80][28F0A160]"Folks are saying Ada-1's back? Don't remember her leaving," Banshee grumbles. His eyes narrow, but he doesn't stop repairing the Auto Rifle on his desk.

"Come to think of it, I guess I didn't see her for a while… anyway, I hear she's asking Guardians for help. Got some new project in the works, something about programmable matter… and Europa? The Fallen too… Hard to keep the details straight, but I'm glad she's keeping busy."

The servos in his hand whirr quietly as he works on the weapon.

"Maybe pay her a visit? Whatever she's making, I'm sure it's worth your time. She's always been a special talent."

She says she needs help retrieving the last remaining research data from Europa's surface, as it's not accessible via the network.

Travel to the BrayTech facility on Europa and recover the data.
[A6FCDD80][9C444686]Ada is awestruck at what she has accomplished with the Loom, and relieved to have a new beginning for the Armory. She thanks you for your help and expresses excitement about the future.

[A6FCDD80][76421FB3]"Good," Ada says as she types feverishly on her workstation.

"I used the data you streamed from Europa to make some final adjustments to the device.

"The original plans from Clovis are out of reach — whatever he wanted to make from this, it requires theoretical alloys that don't exist. Given what we know about him now, maybe it's best if that vision never comes to fruition…

"In any case, I was able to use some concepts from the original Forge designs to finish the prototype. It's my own design now.

She steps back from the workstation.

"The processing unit is the final piece. You retrieved it, it's only fair that you get to close this out."

[A6FCDD80][6A97CDE0]A package containing 5 Synthweave per class. Synthweave allows you to create an ornament of any armor piece you've acquired. Speak with Ada-1 for more information.
[A6FCDD80][67ABE4E1]Ada has been working on a prototype matter programming device using schematics recovered from Europa, but some of the data can't be accessed remotely—she needs your help acquiring it.
[A6FCDD80][BBC6FBEF]Ada visited
[A7FCDD80][167E3105]Ada admires your newly minted Synthweave as you approach.

"I must admit, it was a little unnerving to watch someone else operate the Loom. I've put quite a lot of effort into creating this and… I'm feeling a bit protective."

She clears her throat and fixes her posture.

"That being said, it clearly worked as intended. I've gathered data from your production job—with enough information, I may be able to amend this technology toward some other purpose in the future."

"To that end, let's start gathering more Synthstrand for another run."

Gather enough Synthstrand to purchase another Threader bounty. Synthstrand drops from defeating opponents anywhere in the system.
[A7FCDD80][7007C418]Use the Synthweave that Ada provided to create an ornament from any piece of Legendary armor you've acquired.
[A7FCDD80][D86F1724]"That Synthstrand looks high quality. You've done well," Ada says.

"I don't think there's much else for me to review with you. Please keep utilizing the Loom so I can compile more data—who knows where it will lead. And thank you again, Guardian."

She turns back to her workstation but stops abruptly, turning her attention back to you.

"What is it that old saying? The ball is in your court now?"

She tilts her head.

"I'm not really sure what that means—but good luck, friend."
[A7FCDD80][DC1AD72A]The initial Synthweave test was successful—now Ada wants to walk you through the full production process.
[A7FCDD80][D407F144]Ada has completed the first test run of the Loom and wants to share the results with you.
[A7FCDD80][0AC7CA49]Speak with Ada-1 in the Tower to receive starter materials for Armor Synthesis.
[A7FCDD80][0412F74D]Synthcord deposited
[A7FCDD80][22AF835C]Large Spool of Synthstrand
[A7FCDD80][B5F43A5E]"Here it is—the first printing," Ada says tenuously.

"This is Synthweave, a programmable matter more sophisticated than I've ever seen, significantly more advanced than Glimmer."

She hands you a sample of the Loom's output.

"Do the honors of trying it out. It should be able to replicate the physical appearance of some of your armor, though not the material or energy properties."

Use Synthweave to create an ornament from your collection of Legendary armor.
[A7FCDD80][D8D1F46B]With your first production run on the Loom complete, Ada is encouraged by the resulting product and the data she's gathered. She wants you to gather materials for a second run.
[A7FCDD80][E5AC156E]The initial Synthweave test was successful—now Ada wants to walk you through the full production process.
[A7FCDD80][D6840878]Bounty purchased
[A7FCDD80][E7674687]You've collected enough materials for a second production run on the Loom, and Ada wants to speak to you before testing the device again.
[A7FCDD80][249D9A88]A package of Synthstrand to help you get started on your next Armor Synthesis bounty.
[A7FCDD80][B5ECB28F]Return to Ada-1 with your newly harvested Synthstrand.
[A7FCDD80][EEC3E897]Ada has supplied you with Synthweave from the Loom's first production run. She wants you to try making an ornament out of it to verify the product is functioning correctly.
[A7FCDD80][F38AA898]A large quantity of Synthstrand.

Synthstrand is used to purchase Armor Synthesis bounties (Threaders) from Ada-1.
[A7FCDD80][2AB39C9C]"The Loom requires material input to function; strands of basic matter that can be repurposed as needed," Ada explains.

"I've used the BrayTech schematics to create smaller devices called Threaders—with these, you can convert the strands into the Synthcord that the Loom needs. We should verify the Threaders are functioning as well…"

She hands you a spool of Synthstrand.

"Take these strands, and let's put them through the whole pipeline."

[A7FCDD80][0A1FD0C6]Ada's mechanical fingers clack away at a glass touchscreen. "Initial readouts look promising—power levels are stable and the operating system hasn't hit any assertions."

She says the words carefully and meticulously, like they don't fit well around her voice yet.

"As far as I can tell, the Loom is ready for production. Let me give it a test run and see what we get, and if it passes quality checks, I'll explain the process."

@BOTZA-GUEST: Light grace you. 

@EURFOB: Variks is relieved to hear you, Misraaks. You are there, beneath the Great Machine?

@BOTZA-GUEST: Yes. Without your assistance, we would never have survived the Vex attack.

@EURFOB: This is clear. And from this gratitude, you now speak in Human language during private correspondence? 

@BOTZA-GUEST: I follow custom, and I do not wish my hosts to think I hide my words from them.

@EURFOB: How gracious. But Vex attacking you when House Salvation did? Curious, yes?

@BOTZA-GUEST: I have not had much time to ponder it. 

@EURFOB:  How are the survivors? The hatchlings? Your daughter?

@BOTZA-GUEST: They are all well. Eido is excited beyond words. She has dreamed of this day, but never believed it would come.

@BOTZA-GUEST: Why did you not come with us?

@EURFOB: The Great Machine has no business with Variks. Besides, who would keep an eye on Eramis?

@BOTZA-GUEST: I thought she—

@EURFOB: Always the hatchling. Nothing is forever.

@EURFOB: We know this.

[long silence]

@BOTZA-GUEST: I must go, Variks. There is much to do. 

@EURFOB: Walk quietly in your own shadow, Misraakskel.
[B3FCDD80][18DDC154]"Amidst the chaos, I am a reservoir of silence."

The Splicer focused on her breathing, seized a moment of quiet, and sent it billowing across the battlefield.
[B3FCDD80][A6D3DF54]"I am alight, but I will not be consumed."

The Splicer envisioned the fire in his hand, and he closed his fist around it.

[B4FCDD80][99FC4511]Eido crept on all sixes through the massive halls of the Dreaming City. She was following an indistinct murmur, both terrifying and compelling. A thousand voices, all muttering to themselves. How did she get here?

She peered around the corner of a massive archway. Beyond, she found a circular chamber with an elaborate sigil carved into the stone floor. Three Awoken figures stood at precise intervals along the carved seal. 

The chamber was without a ceiling—the void of space yawned overhead. Spiraling galaxies seemed to fill the room. Eido realized that she wasn't breathing. Was she dead? 

Suddenly, Eido stood in the center of the sigil. She turned in a circle, trying to identify the looming figures, but their faces were vast and unknowable, like the void above. She felt the weight of their focus, as if she were falling in all directions at once. 

She looked down and discovered with horror that the ground was receding. She was floating upwards, into the vacuum of space. The figures paid her no attention as she drifted away. 

As the chamber fell away beneath her, the murmur condensed and merged until it unified into a single panicked wail. 

Eido awoke to find the scream coming from her own mouth. Misraaks crouched next to her pallet, wringing his lower hands in concern. "Be calm, young one. Be calm. You are Eido. You are in the one true now. You are safe." 

He gave her a sip of Ether from his own meager reserve and waited patiently until she quieted. "Tell me of your journey," he prompted, intently. 

She explained her experience, as best a hatchling could. 

Misraaks nodded gravely. "The Techeuns. Advisors to our hosts. They are… like Scribes for the Awoken." He sat, thinking quietly. 

"I know you are frightened. But I am confident this is a blessing," he decided. "All great things appear first as monsters." 

"There may be a day," he continued, "when you are seen as a monster. And your blessing is frightening to those who cannot understand it. When that time comes, remember this moment." Eido nodded, though she didn't fully understand. How could a hatchling be a monster? 

"I, too, am sometimes frightened by the Techeuns," Misraaks confided. "But we must look beyond our fear to find the Light. This is courage. Can you show courage?" 

Eido nodded again. 

"You can. I'm sure of it," Misraaks said proudly. "The Light provides." 

"The Light provides," Eido murmured as she lay back down to a peaceful slumber.

[B4FCDD80][0825314F]Illuminus Mask (Majestic)
[B4FCDD80][AD652050]"And all of the Houses respected their decisions?" Eido asked, dubious. 

"Yes," Variks replied. "It was so agreed by all of Riis." The old Scribe traced his fingers along the datapad, deciphering notes that hadn't been accessed in decades. 

"But didn't all the other Houses fight amongst each other, disputing their decisions?" Eido leaned forward, fascinated by the idea of one House accruing so much political sway without resorting to violence. 

"To dispute the House of Judgment was to dispute all Eliksni Houses," Variks explained. "It was the voice of the Eliksni, united." 

Eido puzzled over this. The idea of mediation was not new to her—Misraaks often solved problems between House members without violence—but the idea of organizing a whole society using that method was novel. 

"So it was the ruling House," Eido concluded. 

Variks clicked his mandibles in annoyance. "No! The House of Judgment was both above and below all other Houses. It was both Kell and Dreg. Its authority came from humility." 

Eido had only ever known of Scribes as political animals. Power-brokers and go-betweens, like Variks. But the idea of Scribes as neutral parties, dedicated to peace and knowledge, was enticing. 

"This is why the old Scribes pursued knowledge relentlessly. They sought it from uncommon sources," Variks continued. "Their knowledge was overwhelming and unyielding. So, when a Scribe of House Judgment decided, all Eliksni respected it. They knew that nothing was left unconsidered." 

Eido nodded raptly. For the first time, she imagined peace not just as an aspiration, but as a practice and a vocation. The idea blossomed within her.
[B4FCDD80][18DDC154]"They may reject you," Misraaks warned. "The Techeuns are not welcoming to outsiders." 

"I understand," the Scribe replied. "But even if they refuse me instruction, I might still get access to their data archives. That alone would be a lifetime's worth of knowledge." 

"You do not have a lifetime to study," Misraaks warned. "We must rejoin the Eliksni soon. They will need guidance. We must reach them while there are still some left to help." 

"I will learn as much as I can, as quickly as I can." The Scribe turned her palms downward in a show of fealty. 

Misraaks paused, wishing to prolong the moment. 

"I recall a time," he reminisced, "when you were just a hatchling. The Techeuns visited you in the night. You woke up screaming." 

"I recall it well," the Scribe replied. "To tell the truth, they still frighten me. But we must look beyond our fear to find the Light." 

In that moment, Misraaks saw her anew. The Scribe shone with a brightness he had never seen before. A mixture of joyful optimism and grim determination. She has finally found her path to the Light, he thought. 

"I am proud to have such a brave Scribe as daughter," he said, in a break of formality. 

"Thank you," Eido replied, surprised by his tone. "I'm lucky to have such a wise Kell for my father."
[B4FCDD80][A6D3DF54]Eido recoiled as the spindly claws of the Splicer Gauntlet snapped and jerked. When her father wore it, the damned thing always moved smoothly, as if it were his own fingers. But attached to the end of her arm, it seemed possessed by a life of its own. 

Misraaks's considerable patience was beginning to wear thin. "No, Eido, no. Splicing is not about thinking. It is about feeling. Feel the energy flow from the ground, through your legs, up your torso, and out through your arm." His arms wove circular patterns in the air, as if gently wafting smoke upwards. "The movement of the Gauntlet is the continuation of a motion that begins deep in the heart of the planet, where it keeps its Light." 

Eido sighed. Misraaks was intent on passing the Way of the Splicer to his daughter, but after three days of attempts without the barest signs of success, they were both becoming frustrated. Eido was eager to learn—to live up to her father's skills—but the harder she tried, the more violently the Gauntlet seemed to reject her. 

Eido took several deep breaths and extended her mind's eye through the ground, deep into the well of Light at the center of the planet. She followed the Light through the firmament, up through her body, and into the Gauntlet. It whirred smoothly to life. 

"Yes, just so," Misraaks encouraged her. "Now feel the Light extend from the Gauntlet into the Shank. Feel its code lying dormant. It is sleeping, waiting for you to wake it." 

Eido extended the Gauntlet. A surge of energy shot forth from its claws, sending crackles of electricity rippling across the Shank's surface. In her shock, Eido jerked the Gauntlet away, which severed the connection. The electricity sparked for an instant longer, then went still. A small plume of smoke issued forth from deep within the Shank. Eido didn't need to Misraaks to tell her that she had just fried the main circuit net. 

Misraaks took a moment to compose himself before speaking. "This is a good lesson. When one focuses on the metal, the form of the machine, and not—"

"Misraakskel. Father," Eido interrupted. "This is not… I don't want…" She fought her emotions for control of her voice. Misraaks waited for his daughter to compose herself. 

"I am not a Splicer," she finally said. "I'm certain of it. I know this is a disappointment to you but—the Gauntlet has spoken." She pulled the spiteful mechanism off her arm and held it out. 

Misraaks took it reluctantly. "I am sorry that you will not follow me in the Way of the Splicer. However," he continued, "it is a far greater thing to know what you are and what you are not." He lifted all four of his palms toward her as a sign of respect. "Self-knowledge is the rarest skill of all, and not commonly found in one so young." 

Eido was filled with relief and gratitude for her lesson.
[B4FCDD80][BC886E66]Illuminus Cloak (Majestic)
[B4FCDD80][3E93106D]The Guardian was resplendent. Their armor gleamed, even in the dull gloom of the Europan night. The golden scrollwork of their breastplate glowed, as if the Light itself imbued the metal. It was beautiful. 

The broken forms of dead and dying Eliksni littered the battlefield, each bearing the symbol for the House of Salvation. Blood and Ether seeped across the ice, freezing into rich stains. The Guardian strolled casually from body to body, searching for ammunition and weaponry. 

Eido had watched the battle through a viewfinder from atop a far-off ridgeline. Even at this distance, the brutality was hard to countenance. She glanced quizzically at Misraaks, who crouched beside her. These were the Guardians her father trusted? 

As if sensing her reservation, Misraaks spoke. "The Guardians are capable of mercy, though they seldom show it." 

"Then why does the Great Machine bless them?" Eido asked. "Is it not better to be merciful?" 

"The Darkness is coming," Misraaks replied wearily. "Nearer now than ever before. Perhaps mercilessness is exactly what the Great Machine needs."

[B6FCDD80][18DDC154]The harsh buzz of a sawtooth wave jolted Ekris from slumber. He groaned, slid off his cot, and slumped into the pilot's chair. Large amounts of data streamed across an array of thick glass screens while the alarm blared. He connected all the various details: heavy interference on scanners, propulsion malfunction in the main drive, erroneous flags on the proximity detectors. He looked through the porthole, a glass circle no more than five inches wide, and saw wisps of blue particulates wash past.

"Collision?" he pondered.

A voice called out behind him. "Still days out from the belt, nothing here to hit."

Ekris pivoted around and saw his copilot. He squinted, trying to remember the other Eliksni's name, but nothing came to him. He felt bad about that. They'd been in transit awhile and he still couldn't remember this one's name.

"It's Raksil," the copilot said as he focused on the instrument displays. "You make that face every time you forget my name."

Ekris looked away in shame. "Strange coincidence. Had a brother Raksil."

"There are many Raksil-brothers and Ekris-pilots, if you look far enough," the copilot said.

Ekris wasn't convinced that was true, but it wasn't important.

"Drive is down," Ekris said. "Stuck in a field of something."

"Not stuck," Raksil said as he punched in some commands through the dash controls, stopping the alarm. "Just slow. Velocity steady."

"No control…" Ekris chittered nervously. "If we're lucky, we'll drift out eventually."

"Long road just to get to Misraaks." Raksil sat on the bulkhead and sighed. "You still think he's Kell of Kells?"

Ekris' mind buzzed with an odd sensation. He didn't remember sharing that with his copilot.

"Best chance I've seen," he said. "He is different, brings us together in new ways."

Raksil made a click with his mandible. "Heard that before."

Ekris waved his claw dismissively. "You always dissent, just to be a dissenter."

"I want to free you from this obsession," Raksil replied.

Ekris scoffed. "Kell of Kells is a symbol of hope for all Eliksni. You would rather we live without that?"

"This myth divides us, brother," Raksil said. "We rend and tear, trying to claw our way to the top of the mountain. Then we look down and see the mountain is made of our torn banners."

Something itched in Ekris's mind. Did Raksil just call him "brother"?

Raksil continued his thought. "The only unity down this path is collective death. The Kell of Kells is destined to rule only the House of Silence."

Ekris clicked his jaw angrily. "Why would Eliksni dream of this Kell, if the dream only harms us?"

"Maybe we didn't," Raksil said with a devilish grin. "Maybe something else dreamt it for us. To keep us apart."

Ekris waved his claws and stood, pacing around the cabin. "Enough. You are stretched thin by this journey; you need more sleep—go to your bunk." His mind itched again. There was only one cot in the ship. He stumbled as the dizziness overcame his senses. When he looked up, he was alone.

"You've chased this dream so long you've forgotten you're asleep," Raksil said, a hint of mourning in his voice—the sound came from nowhere in particular. The pilot's console was dim and quiet. The instrument readouts had slowed and showed no warnings. Ekris looked toward the porthole and saw nothing but black, peppered with the sparse glimmer of distant stars.

@EURFOB: Long day's grace, Misraakskel.

@BOTZA-GUEST: Light bless you, Variks. Thank you for taking this time.

@EURFOB: You sound troubled. Confide. Variks will listen.

@BOTZA-GUEST: The Humans are… they are not as accepting as I had hoped. They cannot see us as anything but the things of their nightmares.

@EURFOB: Are we not?

@BOTZA-GUEST: I thought things would change.

@EURFOB: Kell you may be, but you have much to learn about being a Kell yet, Misraaks. 

@EURFOB: Change does not come overnight. Not for Eliksni. Not for Humans. Change takes time, effort. Change hurts. Like first-molt.

@BOTZA-GUEST: I suppose.

@EURFOB: Suppose nothing. Misraakskel is too eager to forget the Wolves. Do you remember what it was like to kneel to the Queen of the Reef?

@BOTZA-GUEST: I thought the Humans would be different.

@EURFOB: Hope is hope, reality is reality. You cannot splice all things to be as you wish.

@EURFOB: No shortcuts here.

@EURFOB: No excuses, either. Not for Humans. Not for Eliksni.

@BOTZA-GUEST: I miss your counsel. You should visit, when things calm. Stand beneath the Great Machine as you did in the time gone.

@EURFOB: No.

@EURFOB: No. Variks cannot. That is then. This is now. My river does not flow backwards.

@BOTZA-GUEST: But—

@EURFOB: Enjoy your victories, Misraakskel. Do not let the pain of now overshadow the promise of tomorrow.

@EURFOB: We should all be so lucky.

[B9FCDD80][99FC4511]Today I witnessed a Human mating ritual that I had only seen tangentially referred to in the Techeun archives. It involves two Humans pressing their intake orifices against each other. It is most often brief, but more advanced forms involve the use of their mastication organs, and the exchange of the mild digestive secretions. 

I witnessed two young adults touching orifices in this manner for some time. They were quite enthralled by it, and proceeded for several minutes, stopping only when they noticed me taking notes.

[B9FCDD80][0825314F]Sunstead Helm (Majestic)
[B9FCDD80][AD652050]Today I witnessed a Human ritual that I long thought a myth, or at least over-researched relative to its cultural impact. That is, the ingestion of ethanol to induce euphoria and knowingly hinder judgment. 

When I first learned of this practice in the Techeun's data archives, it seemed preposterous. Why would a predominantly aqueous creature willingly ingest a substance that causes its body to purge liquid? What was the goal? 

Today I discovered the answer: "partying." 

Based on my observations near community ethanol distribution centers, partying is a distinctly Human form of enjoyment. It is similar to many Eliksni celebrations—a social gathering meant to foster group cohesion—but the Human version involves collective self-poisoning, for which there is no parallel in Eliksni society. 

Apparently, partying involves a loose constellation of behaviors: speaking much more loudly than normal, making an increased amount of bodily contact, the purging of partially digested food, walking in eccentric patterns, expressions of fondness, increased laughter, public displays of sorrow, and coordinated yelling to previously recorded sounds. 

Having witnessed the prevalence of ethanol consumption in the Last City, I can safely conclude that, if anything, the behavior is under-researched. Humans' fondness for poisoning themselves is prolific—it's a wonder their species has lasted this long. 

I admit to curiosity as to the perceived effects of ethanol consumption, because it cannot feel as terrible as it looks. However, I am reluctant to engage in Human partying because I'm not sure an Eliksni could survive it.
[B9FCDD80][18DDC154]Today another misunderstanding resulted in joy. Klyfiks, a young engineer, watched a Human struggle with a large machine. No matter what she did, it continued to billow a thick, oily smoke. Curious, Klyfiks waited until the Human gave up in frustration. 

After the streets were dark, Klyfiks examined the machine himself. Determined to earn the Humans' trust, Klyfiks stole the machine and took it back to House Light. He worked through the night to repair it, using our scrap as a gesture of good will. 

When morning came, Klyfiks returned the machine and watched from afar, eager to see the woman's excitement. She turned it on, and watched in astonishment as it rolled smoothly down the road. It still emitted traces of smoke, but at least it moved.  

To Klyfiks's chagrin, the woman flew into a rage! As I later learned, producing smoke was the machine's whole purpose—something to do with the curing of animal flesh. I myself am still not certain of the details. 

Although the machine no longer produces smoke in the appropriate manner, it now travels upwards of 20 kilometers per hour on very little fuel. The neighborhood children have been riding it along the street all day. I even saw them gathering supplies to add a steering system. 

In the end, Klyfiks and I agree that it's a great thing he's done.
[B9FCDD80][A6D3DF54]Today another misunderstanding resulted in conflict. Klyfiks, a young engineer, was tasked with repairing our Shank. The machine was damaged during the escape from Europa, and we needed her advanced diagnostics capabilities. Klyfiks repaired what he could and then set about searching for replacement parts. 

He identified a pile of scrap that served our purpose, and started fashioning the needed parts. While Klyfiks was working, a Human emerged from a nearby dwelling and began shouting at him. Klyfiks didn't understand the man's words, but he understood the angry tone, so he took the needed scrap and fled. 

As it so happened, Klyfiks took scrap pieces that were the parts to a vintage Sparrow that the man was intending to rebuild. Klyfiks never considered such a thing, because on a Ketch, scrap is a shared resource. The idea of hoarding scrap for some imagined purpose is strange indeed to the Eliksni (the Spider notwithstanding). 

Luckily, Klyfiks told me his tale, and I worked with Ikora to repay the man. Crisis was averted, and Klyfiks learned an important lesson: to Humans, control over a thing is often more valuable than the thing itself.

[B9FCDD80][3E93106D]Today I viewed the Crucible through a feed spliced by one of Misraakskel's apprentices. It was a shocking and horrifying experience. A record of that feed can be found in the addendum of this report.

I had seen the Crucible referenced in the records of the Cryptarchs, who have been most welcoming and eager to exchange data. Historically, the Crucible was a trial by combat, similar to the Cabal Rite of Proving. It was a neutral ground for parties to engage in violence without civilian casualties. However, over centuries it evolved into a blood sport practiced for combat experience, commerce, and enjoyment. 

However, no amount of study could prepare one for the depravity of the actual event. 

Humans immolate each other, melting flesh beneath unpenetrated armor. They drive swords through each other's faces, reveling in the creation of deformity. They unleash bursts of Void and Darkness, consuming each other's bodies with anti-life. The amount of precious ammunition that goes wasted in every match would be punishable by docking in some Eliksni Houses. 

After the arbitrary conditions for victory have been met, the messengers of the Great Machine emerge. They resurrect the dead, who then sulk off the field as if eternal life were nothing compared to the loss of a sporting match. And then the whole practice begins again. 

The experience has made me wary of our new hosts. They are much more like the Cabal than I had imagined. Humans clearly have the capacity for peace, but they seem to prefer violence. And as long as the Great Machine blesses them, violence will be their way.

@BOTZA-GUEST:  I know. I am finding myself at odds with an Exo, a leader of humanity. She does not trust our kind, and I fear what may come of her intolerance.

@BOTZA-GUEST: This is different. Blunt. Cold.

@BOTZA-GUEST: She does not wish to give trust. There is no transaction. Just… anger.

@EURFOB: Variks knows this. Variks also remembers Misraakskel as a soft-shelled hatchling, always mewling. Always wishing to make friends, even with the older Dregs who would push him over.

Eido looked over the heads of the assembled hatchlings to the Great Machine above. She marveled at its magnificence. Whole civilizations had been razed to the ground in its wake. Even the Eliksni, once. 

She turned her attention back to the hatchlings. "Did you know that the Hive do not have spirit?" she asked. The hatchlings looked at her quizzically. 

"It's true," she continued. "Hive have worms. Big, slimy, wriggling worms inside them." 

Eido flexed her fingers, causing the hatchlings in the front row to recoil. She lowered her voice ominously. "And the worms are always hungry. They force the Hive to eat more, and more, and more. They are never satisfied, no matter how much the Hive feed them. That's why the Hive will eat anything. Even little hatchlings—like you!" 

Eido snapped at them, causing shrieks of dismay. 

"Some think the Hive will eat the whole galaxy," she said, turning her gaze back to the Great Machine. "And when there's nothing left, they'll have to eat each other. They'll feast and feast until there's just one lonely Thrall, who will have to eat himself." 

"And then there will be nothing," Eido concluded softly. "Just like in the beginning." 

The hatchlings were silent. Eido was suddenly very tired.

[BEFCDD80][AD652050]The Shank with Bad Spirit

Eido looked over the hatchlings assembled at her feet. As she scanned their rapt faces, she noticed the unrepaired Shank, languishing on a workbench nearby. That reminded her of a story. 

"There was once an engineer who was the cleverest in her House," she told the hatchlings. "Even more clever than Klyfiks," she added. 

The hatchlings chittered in mirth. 

"One day, the engineer's Kell came to her with an order. He told her to build a Shank." Eido's tone conveyed the ordinariness of such a demand. "A simple Shank for patrolling and running diagnostics." 

"This was an easy thing for one so clever, but the engineer was offended." Eido clenched her fists, miming indignation. "She demanded to know why she should waste her time on such a simple task." 

Eido deepened her voice in her best imitation of her father: "'I am leaving for battle soon,' said the Kell. 'And I want the best Shank in the system to guard my dwelling while I'm away!'"

The hatchlings shrieked with glee at the Scribe's irreverence. 

"So the engineer set about building the Shank. She was given the finest tools, the finest metals, and even a skilled assistant. Everything she could ever need." 

Eido's tone darkened. "But inside, she was angry. She resented her duty and wished to work on something more impressive." 

Eido paused, watching the hatchlings for their reactions. It was always fascinating, she thought, to see which eyes held sympathy for the engineer and which did not. 

"In time, she finished her work. The Kell left for battle, and the Shank was set to patrol the Kell's dwelling," she continued. "To everyone's surprise, it bumped into walls, gave incorrect diagnostics, and often turned up in places it shouldn't." 

The hatchlings were rapt. 

"The engineer quickly realized what was wrong," Eido told them, taking on a low, conspiratorial tone. "She had given the Shank the wrong spirit. All her anger and pride had poisoned it, like Dark Ether poisons the Scorn." 

Eido watched one hatchling seize the nearest hand of another. She could end the story there, but a glance at the Human sentinels watching their gathering from the lip of the roof above steeled her resolve to continue. 

"One day," she continued gravely, "the poor Shank got so turned around that he mistook the Kell's hatchlings as intruders, and shot them dead." 

The hatchlings gasped. Eido imagined she saw one of the Humans' faces soften in sympathy. 

"When the Kell returned, and learned what had happened, he docked all of the engineer's arms and destroyed the Shank." Eido's voice was firm. "The House lost their best engineer, their strongest hatchlings, and their most expensive Shank—all at once." 

"Remember," she warned, "we must give our best spirit to all our tasks. Even the ones we do not like."
[BEFCDD80][18DDC154]The Hatchling Whose Mother was a Ketch

Eido surveyed her audience. The smallest hatchlings were beginning to doze off, leaning against the lower arms of their clutch-mates, but the oldest among them were eager for one more tale. 

"There was once a hatchling," Eido began, "whose mother was a Ketch!" 

Several of the hatchlings exclaimed in disbelief, waking the dozing youngsters, who roused to listen. 

"Her egg was kept warm and safe inside the Ketch's vent shaft. And once the hatchling was ready to come out," Eido mimed breaking free of inside of an egg, "the Ketch landed right in the middle of a battle!" 

The hatchlings leaned forward, some clambering over others. 

"Awoken and Eliksni traded fire," she continued, waving all four hands for emphasis. "Explosions shook the ground. The banners of great Houses burned. Many were lost." 

One hatchling let out a thin, protracted squeak. 

"But in the middle of the battle, cleaving his way through the enemy, was a Vandal. He heard the Ketch's call, and ran toward it. When he entered the Ketch, he discovered the hatchling, ruling the tiny vent shaft." 

"He took the hatchling far away from the battle and raised her as his own. He taught her the ways of the Light, and in time, she grew up to be a Scribe for the wisest Kell in the galaxy." 

The older hatchlings exchanged glances and reveled in a sort of quiet joy: a shared secret. Unlike their smaller peers, they were worldly enough to make the connection between Eido and her story. 

"Remember," she concluded, "the Light always provides, no matter where we come from—or who our parents are."
[BEFCDD80][A6D3DF54]The Six-Armed Hatchling

Eido gathered the hatchlings around her. It was late in the day, and she was reluctant to let them roam the streets at night. So she enticed them back to camp with the promise of old Eliksni legends. 

"There was once a hatchling," she began, once they had quieted down, "who was born with six arms." Eido used her upper arms to point out the spot below her lower arms. "And all of his clutch-mates mocked him for it." 

The hatchlings murmured knowingly. Many of them had experienced mocking. 

"When the hatchling became old enough, he competed against his siblings for Ether and status in his House. He was not as clever or as strong as his clutch-mates, even with an extra pair of arms, so the Kell of his House declared him a Dreg." 

The hatchlings nodded knowingly. They had heard stories of Dregs, too, even if Misraaks had outlawed the practice in House Light. 

"But," Eido continued, her tone lifting, "when it came time for the Kell of his House to dock his lowest arms, the hatchling rejoiced!" She threw her hands up in celebration. "For he had an extra pair of arms to give. That day, he became the only Dreg in his House with four arms, and he was proud."

[BEFCDD80][3E93106D]The Smallest Screeb

 Eido loomed over the group of hatchlings, her face lit only by the glow of the Ether tank's control panel. The hatchlings gripped each other's hands in fear and huddled together for safety. The Scribe continued her tale. 

"There once was a Screeb. The smallest Screeb of his clutch. He fought for his share of Dark Ether, but his stronger siblings often got more than he did." 

The hatchlings muttered in sympathy. 

"He dreamed of one day killing a Guardian and showing his siblings that he was strong. Little, but strong." Eido flexed her lower arms menacingly. 

"One day, a Guardian came to their lair, hoping to steal their precious Dark Ether." The hatchlings glanced in worry at the nearby Ether tank as Eido continued. "Fikrulkel ordered the Screebs to attack. Finally! The smallest Screeb had a chance to prove his worth." 

Eido leaned forward, narrowing her eyes. "The smallest Screeb charged forward, unafraid, even as his siblings were shot down all around him. He launched himself at the Guardian, and—BOOM!" the Scribe shouted, clapping both pairs of hands. The hatchlings jumped and chittered in fear. 

Eido lowered her voice to a whisper. "The littlest Screeb exploded right against the Guardian's glowing, golden armor. He succeeded in his mission." 

"But," Eido continued, shaking her head in mock sadness, "the Guardian didn't even notice. The Screeb was too small and his explosion made no difference. No difference at all."

Ikora Rey's blood was up. She had just left a debriefing on the previous night's sabotage of the Eliksni camp. With each detail, her blood pounded more forcefully in her ears and the Light tingled in her fingertips. Now, striding across the elevated catwalk, her temper nearly lifted her off the ground in righteous fury. 

Suddenly a deep, familiar voice broke through the tumult: "Anger bends the mind, as gravity bends space-time. It's a form of distortion—useful, but dangerous." Ikora turned, half expecting to find Osiris standing behind her. But she was still alone. 

"Like gravity, once anger reaches a critical mass, it collapses in on itself, and not even Light can escape." Ikora smiled to herself. Even in absentia, her mentor always knew just what to say. 

Ikora Rey ducked into an alcove and sat with her back against the cool stone of the Tower. She closed her eyes and listened to her breath. Concentrated on slowing her heartrate. Felt her muscles loosen. 

Once her body was stilled, she completed one of the many meditations Osiris taught her when she first began her training. She felt the Light moving through her body: first as a raging fire, then as a rushing river, and finally as a cool breeze. By the time she opened her eyes, her mind was clear and sharp. 

She was prepared to face her opponent. 

II. 

Saint-14 was doing munitions inventory when Osiris swept into the room. Saint put down his datapad next to a crate of grenades and stood up. Osiris scanned the shelves of guns and ammo, looking for something. 

Saint stood dumbly, waiting for some kind of acknowledgement. When it was clear that none was forthcoming, he called out, "Osiris. What are you looking for?" His voice was loud and strained. 

Osiris didn't turn from the shelves. "The Light suppressor that the Psions used on Zavala's Ghost. I need it for my research." 

"Zavala kept it, I think. Ask him about it," Saint replied, trying not to sound put out. 

Osiris faced his partner, his eyes narrowed in thought. "Very well." Then, as an afterthought, "Thank you." 

As the former Warlock turned to leave, Saint called out, "I was hoping we could spend some time together soon. Just the two of us." 

"Doing what?" Osiris inquired with a small smile. 

"We could fly out to the Alps," Saint suggested. "Or walk around the ruins of Prague. Like we used to." 

"That seems fine," Osiris said. He shrugged a shoulder. "Provided the City doesn't burn to the ground in our absence." Then after a beat: "Is that all?" 

Is that all? Behind his helmet, Saint frowned. "I suppose." 

Osiris strode from the room, leaving Saint alone with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. 

III. 

Lakshmi-2 watched Osiris from across the bustling courtyard. Of all the political creatures in the Tower, he was the one that troubled her most. 

Her concern was not a matter of the ex-Warlock's unpredictability. In fact, it was just the opposite. 

The Device had no trouble parsing his arrogant brilliance—his every move was well within the standard deviation. 

Yet for someone with a legendary reputation as an eccentric, his every move as of late had been shockingly moderate. It was his newfound predictability that bothered her. 

Perhaps the loss of his Ghost had affected him more than anyone understood. Maybe the burden of mortality had sapped his courage. 

It was also possible that Osiris represented a blind spot in the Vex dataset; something that only a Human could comprehend. Or perhaps instead, something obvious to the Vex overlooked by her Human mind. 

Whatever the case, Osiris bore watching the old-fashioned way. At least until his usefulness played out.

[CAFCDD80][AC9DD75B]Crow sat high on the walls, looking past the Future War Cult sentinels to focus instead on the crowd of Eliksni below. He wished he could be on the ground, helping them acclimate. Though his stay with the Spider had been traumatic, he had fond memories of the Eliksni who helped him adjust to life on the Shore. He longed to return the good will.

But Zavala had given him strict orders to stay out of sight. It was a directive he had nearly contradicted in breaking up the previous week's sabotage. He was reluctant to put himself in hotter water for the sake of sentimentality. 

At least Glint can still have fun, he thought. 

Three stories below, a gaggle of Eliksni hatchlings chased Glint through the ruins. Crow had dispatched the Ghost to do some reconnaissance and gauge the likelihood of another violent confrontation. But the instant attention of the hatchlings blew Glint's cover, and he seemed delighted in his demotion from spy to playmate.

The Ghost chirped in glee as the hatchlings scrabbled around on all sixes, trying to catch him. He stayed just beyond reach, twisting and turning through rubble, doubling back so that the smaller ones at the back of the pack could have a go. 

Let them enjoy themselves, Crow thought. Things will get worse before they get better. They deserve every scrap of joy they can find.

[CBFCDD80][AC9DD75B]Jolur held his arms wide and concentrated. On the low table before him sat a pair of well-worn boots. The blades of the Splicer Gauntlet on his wrist whirred softly.

Bask, determined to ignore him, floated over to the window and began checking Crucible scores.

"I picture the Light around these old boots," Jolur said solemnly. "I picture—"

"You don't have to actually say it," Bask said, pulling his shell down over his eye in a decent approximation of a scowl.

"I picture the Light bending," Jolur said, louder. "I see it feeding back into reality in a perfect loop. I strum the threads of the physical plane, I bend the Light, I reshape it in my mind, and…"

He closed his eyes tightly and whispered, "Geomag Stabilizers."

The Gauntlet blades clattered limply to rest as he opened his eyes, looked at his boots, and grunted. Bask hovered over his shoulder. "I could get you a secondhand pair from the market without much—"

"Mithrax said we shape the Light with our will," Jolur sighed as he adjusted the settings on his Gauntlet. "I just have to change one tiny value of reality, from Geomag Stabilizers NO to Geomag Stabilizers YES."

"Kid, I'm starting to think I didn't rez all of your brain last time," Bask said.

"Right now, I'm visualizing you being quiet," Jolur said and held his arms wide. "I picture the Light around these old boots…"

[03FDDD80][68DE7E62]To be the first Eliksni to bask in the presence of the Traveler since the Whirlwind was an honor that Mithrax, Kell of House Light, never imagined for himself. As he stood on the Tower walkway below the scar left in the wake of the Almighty, he meditated on the choices in his life that had led to this point. He wondered if there was a unifying thread binding all those events together. But he would have no time to ponder such things.

A shadow crept over Mithrax: broad shoulders, a curling horn. Seeing the stark outline of Lord Shaxx looming on the stairs elicited centuries-old instincts, and it was temperance that kept Mithrax's hands from his weapon. 

"I didn't expect to actually find you here," Shaxx said as he continued down the stairs with slow, plodding steps. "Were you there?"

"What?" 

Shaxx came to stand beside Mithrax at the railing. "Were you there?" he asked again. This time, he pointed, without looking, to a place on the horizon beyond the Traveler.

Mithrax followed Shaxx's gesture with his eyes. He did not understand. 

"The Battle of Six Fronts," Shaxx insisted, with uncharacteristic softness. "Do you know how many Fallen I killed there?" 

Mithrax bristled at the question, and he felt that instinctual urge to reach for his weapons again. But the presence of the Traveler and the question that nagged at the back of his mind stayed his hands. "How many?" he asked, not wanting to know the answer. 

Shaxx deflated, folded his arms over the railing, and rested his considerable weight against it. "Hundreds," he said quietly. "All of them died afraid."

Mithrax felt Ether mixing with bile in the back of his throat. His limbs trembled, rage burned in his gut, demanding manifestation. But he tempered his anger, sighed so deep that the Ether on his breath was briefly visible as an iridescent cloud.

"How many Humans have you killed?" Shaxx wondered.

"Too many," Mithrax answered, and even that felt insufficient on his tongue; the thought of it twisted his insides around. He sighed again, deeper this time, and Shaxx watched the sublimated Ether glitter in the dim light. 

"When I heard you were in the Tower," Shaxx said, "I thought I'd just throw you over the edge of the wall. I thought about the people I watched die at the hands of your Houses over the years. The Lightless torn limb from limb during the Dark Age." He snorted out a rueful laugh. "Then I started to think about them."

Silence hung in the air for a moment, long enough for Mithrax to ask: "Who?"

"Three scavengers. Huddled together in a collapsed storm drain. They had stolen food during a… a time of famine. Maybe it was for themselves, maybe another settlement, maybe family…" Shaxx shrugged. "I killed them. All three, with my bare hands."

"My victims were Humans too," Shaxx clarified, and the Kell felt his anger twist into confusion. "I was a Warlord in the Dark Ages. Convinced myself of the necessity of my own barbarism by painting it with noble colors. Those loyal to me built a legend that masked the blood and the rot. But it's still there." He tapped his fingers against his breastplate. "Deep down."

The shadows had become long, stars now visible in the sky, and the Traveler was cast in half shadow.

"There was a ship," Mithrax eventually replied. "It may have been soldiers. Civilians. I do not know." He looked away from the Traveler as he spoke. "I led a boarding party onto it. We slaughtered any who resisted and rounded up those who surrendered."

Shaxx turned to look at Mithrax, a wordless question in his faceless mask.

"We argued what to do with the prisoners. Some suggested we keep them as warning-trophies. Others said to barter with them." Mithrax looked away, shoulders sagged. "But I was young. Impatient." He closed his eyes. "I opened the airlock. It seemed the simplest solution."

Both soldiers sank into silence again and remained so as the last glimpse of sunlight descended beyond the horizon. Shaxx sullenly took his leave, and Mithrax was left with the remnants of anger and confusion, and paradoxically—an answer.

He saw then the thread of choices leading to this moment. The choices that led to the Great Machine and away from a fate like Eramis had suffered. It was something both he and Shaxx learned to accept in spite of a lifetime of experience telling them otherwise.

Mercy.
[03FDDD80][520F216C]"A weapon hides nothing. It is what it is. Whether it wants to be or not." —Saint-14 to Shaxx
[03FDDD80][AA6C4E8F]Armored boots clang down metal stairs as Lord Saladin descends the catwalks between the central tower. The Bazaar is otherwise quiet, giving him time to contemplate the strategy needed for his impending diplomatic liaison.

"I demand a place in the decision making for…" Saladin trails off in thought as he walks. "I request addition to your council for…" He grunts, shaking his head. "Commander, I'm concerned about your inclusion of Future War Cult in…" A grumble. None of it sounds right.

Saladin pauses to look out over the City, where the streets are hidden behind a shimmering pall of digital fog. He closes his eyes, shakes his head, and takes a moment to compose himself. There are no sounds of fighting here, no gunshots, no screams. Those exist only in his mind.

"Zavala. I would like to speak to you as a friend," Saladin tries again, then opens his eyes to the Traveler with an affirming nod.

"You'll have to speak a little louder if you'd like the commander to hear you."

The sudden intrusion of a voice not his own wheels Saladin around, catching Osiris uncomfortably close behind him. Saladin's expression shifts from shock to embarrassment concealed behind a mask of frustration. "It is unbecoming of you to eavesdrop, Warlock."

"Please," Osiris dismisses, slowly approaching Saladin. "Anyone with an ear could hear you mumbling to yourself. I just happened to comment on it." He gestures with an open hand, then clasps both behind his back.

"I have a meeting to attend," Saladin insists, turning to make an abrupt exit. Osiris sidesteps, getting between Saladin and the stairs, and elicits an immediate look of challenge from the Iron Lord.

Osiris, mindfully, raises both his hands. "Please, Lord Saladin. A moment?"

Saladin crosses his arms over his chest. Impatience shows in a crease of his brow.

"Now may not be the best time if you're hoping to find an ally in the commander," Osiris explains as he places a guiding hand on Saladin's elbow, drawing him away from the main walkway.

"Commander Zavala is under considerable stress at the moment," Osiris continues. "While you might see your presence as a reinforcing one…" He raises his brows, glancing sidelong at Saladin. "You may not be correct in that assertion."

"Stop talking in circles." Saladin plants his feet. "What is it you're getting at?"

"When was the last time you—to put it as you did earlier—eavesdropped?" 

Saladin rankles. "I do not eavesdrop," he growls.

"Then perhaps that is why you do not realize what the overall opinion of your actions are in the eyes of other Guardians." Osiris's tone is gentle, apologetic, measured. It conveys an obvious tone: this news is bad, and he hates to be the bearer of bad news.

Saladin is quiet; Osiris sees the lack of outward defiance as a foothold. He digs in.

"Many without our shared convictions have questioned your leadership decisions during the recent crisis with Empress Caiatl." Osiris dips his head in close to Saladin, voice hushed as if to share a secret. "Others suggest that it was you who ordered the assassination attempt on the commander."

"An Iron Lord would never," Saladin says with a quaver in his voice. "I am not—"

"I know," Osiris is quick to softly interject. "But not everyone knows you like I do. They make well-articulated and convincing arguments based off of your very vocal stance against an armistice with the Cabal."

Closing his eyes, Saladin draws in a slow and calming breath. The sounds of gunfire, shouts, and screams are louder now than ever before. Or maybe it's the blood pounding in his ears. "All the more reason for me to set the record straight."

"Is that what you came to the City for? To set a record straight?" Osiris presses. "Just a minute ago, it sounded to me like you wished to ask for a place in Zavala's inner circle. How do you think that might look?"

Saladin looks in the direction of Zavala's office, hands curling into fists. "Lakshmi-2 is—"

"Let me handle Lakshmi," Osiris insists, once more reaching out a hand for Saladin's arm. This time, the Iron Lord doesn't pull away. "Fight the battles you know you can win, Lord Saladin. I know how to handle her. There may come a time when your strength will be needed again, but that time is not now."

Saladin looks sharply to Osiris. A rebuttal forms behind his lips, but is never spoken aloud. He lets his head hang.

"Thank you, Osiris," Saladin says with a heavy heart, conviction flagging. "You are a true friend."

[03FDDD80][31418ACD]Borrowed Time
[03FDDD80][BC906ADB]The Drifter smelled trouble the moment he entered the bar. His first instinct was to turn around and leave, but he noticed the hooded figure standing nervously nearby, conspicuously inconspicuous.

Their hooded cloak was pulled low over their face, but they leaned to the side, intent on catching every angry shout from the crowd of locals in the corner.

"Tell what's-his-name to take it easy," Drifter grumbled as he walked by. "I'll handle this."

"Take it easy," parroted a polite voice from somewhere under the figure's cloak.

"I heard him," sighed the figure, but there was relief in his voice.

As Drifter pushed into the crowd, he noted who was armed, who was shouting, and who was doing both. Most seemed to fit into the final category. He smiled; history had taught him the quiet ones were always the most dangerous.

He reached the center of the tight knot and found three Eliksni sitting at a table, trying to ignore the crowd around them. Undaunted, he pushed his way onto the chair arm of the biggest Eliksni like a feral cat. The Eliksni growled, but Drifter tossed Trust into the center of the table with a heavy thud.

Drifter turned toward the crowd. "What's got you fine folk all riled up tonight?"

"Take it you don't listen to the radio much," someone said, and the crowd laughed.

"Places I like tend to have bad reception," Drifter replied. "Tell me what I missed."

The group all spoke at once, a cacophony of accusations.

"Whoa!" cried the Drifter. "Seems like some of you been spendin' too much time starin' at that fake night." He turned to the Eliksni.

"Now somewhere in this commotion, I think I heard shoutin' of missing equipment. So, I've gotta ask," he said. "You fellas been takin' what don't belong to you?"

The big Eliksni spoke. His voice was deep and steady. "We had confusions with your people. Where was self-supply and where was all-supply." He shrugged. "We learned, and we compensated."

Drifter nodded. "Makes sense for settlin' into a new place. Ain't a soul here who hasn't checked their neighbor's toolshed for spare SMG parts."

A voice spoke, "Hey, I'm missing an SMG—" But Drifter held up a hand.

"And I don't wanna hear they caught any blame for the big night. I swear, it's like some folk's brains just wilt in the dark. I know Mithrax is workin' with the Vanguard to figure out this whole Vex thing," he said.

The Eliksni seemed to relax a bit, but Drifter held up a finger. "I do have one question of my own," he said. 

"We've been fightin' for a long time, your folk and mine. That's no secret. Plenty of blood spilled on both sides over the years. But I hear stories some of you fellas from the old days caught the hunger."

The big Eliksni shifted tensely in his seat as the crowd pressed in.

Drifter leaned in closer, his voice gravelly. "Nasty rumor even says you guys chomped on the occasional toddler."

The Eliksni pushed his chair back and lunged to his feet as the crowd gasped. Drifter stood his ground, somehow staring down the Eliksni that was a full meter taller than him.

"Never your young!" the Eliksni boomed. "Never."

Drifter nodded. "But the rest?"

The Eliksni looked at the crowd, then brought his massive head close to Drifter. His voice was steady. "We old ones, we who have been fighting since the beginning… yes. We sometimes took your dead fighters so that we could live."

"It was war," he said, and poked at Drifter's chest with a clawed finger. "And you are made of meat."

Drifter smiled. "I hear you, brother," he said, and looked at the Eliksni's claw. "Hell, you point that thing at me, all I can think is how good it'd taste with garlic butter. Mm-mmm!" He leaned toward the looming creature and ran his tongue over his chapped lips. 

The Eliksni sized up the tiny man, then dropped his shoulders. "But as I say, that was long ago," he said. "We are House Light now, and forever more. We have peace with your people."

Drifter reached up and patted the Eliksni's chest. "That's right," he said, and the Eliksni sat down. "And though it don't erase the bad old days," he said as he turned to the crowd, "that don't mean it's time to bring 'em back."

A dissatisfied grumble rose from the crowd. The fight had gone out of them. 

The Eliksni shrugged. "Misraaks says we are never to eat people again," he said quietly.

Drifter nodded. "Yeah, Zavala tells me the same damn thing."

The Eliksni burst into coughing laughter. The Drifter laughed back, picked up his gun from the table, and waved the crowd away as he pulled over an empty seat.

"Now make room," he said. "These fellas were just about to lose at cards."

[04FDDD80][102CA114]The five Splicers sat motionless around the small access point that jutted from the dark stone. It pulsed softly, checked and rechecked the permissions that summoned it, and then pushed a data spike solidly into the Vex domain.

The Splicers' consciousnesses spiraled into the network and they immediately sensed the colors changing around them. They were being hunted.

Exclusion fields manifested and chased them, sizzling over the dataplanes as they passed. With a confident laugh, Grainslayer blinked into a silver fractal of unbound Light. The field shattered and split to follow him. 

Chroniclekel spun cool blue towers of mandatory protocols stretching into infinity, then duplicated his trace and sent himself hurtling down all possibilities at once. The domain chugged and hitched as he moved. 

Anomaly focused his Light and caught a bucking ripple of the domain, pushed, and pried a crack into the deep cipher beneath. Collide and Corrosion plunged through.

Corrosion, her Light a scythe, tore fiercely at the smothering strands of replicating data. Collide reached into the blinding heart of the domain, grasping at the decompiling wisps, feeling them retract from his access. 

He centered himself and willed the correct strand to appear before him.

It took all his strength and skill to bend it, to change a one to a zero. 

And as he thought it, it happened.

The access point dissipated, leaving the five Splicers back in the dark stone room. 

They turned to Collide, and when he nodded, they collapsed into joyful, relieved laughter: they had erased the Vex's knowledge of Misraaks's daughter, Eido. 

Collide caught his breath and shrugged with false modesty. "Provoke the eminendum—" he began.

"—perish as the residuum," Corrosion finished for him, before she fell into a fit of laughter once more.

[F9FCDD80][F92F2825]Commander Zavala whisked silently through the Tower, his path lit only by the pale glow of the Traveler. He had postponed this trip until the dead of night, when the only souls around would be as eager to avoid conversation as he was. Here in the darkness, his title dropped away and he was just Zavala.

He had spent his day both dreading and anticipating this journey. Of all his worries, this short walk had burdened him the most. His preoccupation ended with his arrival at the memorial. It was a hodgepodge of items, provided by both Humans and Eliksni. Zavala found their incongruity comforting. 

Reaching out, he took a candle. He closed his eyes and cast his memory back to the day of her funeral. The smell of low tide and the rumble of thunderclouds on the horizon. He felt their static charge surge through the salt air and into his body. 

He opened his eyes and the wick burst into flame. Zavala smiled. It was just the type of parlor trick she had always enjoyed.

Zavala placed the candle amongst its extinguished fellows, soothed by the tiny, flickering flame. He reached back, calling forth another memory: 

Her lithe form, curled under the thin blankets in contented sleep. The predawn glow seeping into the room. Her dark curls splayed across the white pillow. Her musky, floral scent. Her clothes strewn across the furniture. 

He yearned to reach out and awaken her—see her drowsy smile, hear her voice. But he knew that would transform the experience from memory to fantasy; he wanted to preserve her as she was: perfect and mortal. 

Then the moment vanished; he was Commander Zavala once more.

[06FDDD80][676653B7]"You should put your gun away," the Warlock says as her Hunter companion strolls into the empty office. A long, appreciative whistle escapes him as he slowly turns and surveys the room.

"The commander's sure come on up, hasn't he?" the Hunter remarks, Shotgun still resting on his shoulder. Then, noticing something on a high shelf, he wonders: "Is that a cat?"

The Warlock gives him a gentle shove into the middle of the room, then slowly urges his Shotgun down from his shoulder; her touch leaves an ice-rimmed mark on the barrel. The look she levels at the Hunter is patient, but thinning.

"I don't recall having a meeting scheduled right now," booms a voice from the doorway. Both Warlock and Hunter turn to face Commander Zavala, the Hunter shifting his Shotgun behind his back as his Ghost decompiles the weapon. He gives Zavala a crooked, apologetic smile and shows his hands to the Warlock in a "Gun? What gun?" gesture.

"Commander Zavala," the Warlock says with a quick chastising look at her cohort. "I'm—"

"I know who you two are," Zavala says as he breezes past them. "I have a call with the Consensus in ten minutes. You have eight of them."

"He's heard of us!" the Hunter whispers to the Warlock, who gives him a surreptitious elbow in the side.

"Commander. First of all, we wanted to thank you for the rescue efforts on Europa. We wanted to talk about the long-term plans regarding Eliksni settlement in the City."

Zavala sits at his desk, his face weary. "There is no long-term plan. Yet."

"You didn't have a plan before putting them in a bombed-out ditch?" the Hunter interjects. Zavala's expression is mixed with surprise and aggravation, but he lets out a burst of laughter—it crescendos in an uncharacteristically jovial manner before dissipating into a sigh.

"I suppose it looks like that," Zavala admits. "This is the territory the Consensus would cede for the time being. But the plan is to turn the area into a community learning annex where the Eliksni and humanity can freely share ideas, culture, and language."

"And they would live there?" the Warlock asks.

"No," Zavala says with a shake of his head. "If everything goes well, they'll live in the City. Wherever they'd like. It's just going to take time to build up the piece of Botza District we gave them, and to make sure the people of the City accept them. The last thing we need is violence born out of confusion and ignorance."

The Warlock and Hunter look to one another, then back to Zavala. "That's… honestly better than we expected. No—offense to your city planning strategies, Commander, I just—"

"It wasn't my plan," Zavala says, motioning to the woman eavesdropping in doorway. 

"Ikora," the Warlock says with a respectful incline of her head.



Both Warlock and Hunter look shocked at her presence. Ikora smiles demurely and more fully invites herself into the room.

 "When I heard Mithrax's old fireteam had come to the City, I was surprised to see you here, rather than down there with him," Ikora says, though she isn't truly surprised. "Have you given him your regards?"

"With everything that happened on Europa, ma'am, we didn't think it prudent. He's still—there's still raw emotions and—with everything going on right now, it's been hard to connect with him," the Warlock admits, giving the Hunter a concerned look. Ikora regards them for a moment, then nods and approaches Zavala.

"Family struggles can be challenging," Ikora recognizes, her hand on the back of Zavala's chair. "Even with found family. But I have faith you'll find a way to work it out."

She leans over and whispers something to him; the Vanguard commander gives her a look of approval as he begins opening terminal windows for his impending meeting. 

"In the meantime, how would you two like to help the Vanguard?" Ikora asks with one brow raised. The Warlock and Hunter cast a furtive look to one another, but both are quick to offer silent nods of affirmation. Ikora smiles, having expected that response, and spreads her arms to herd the pair out of Zavala's office.

"Good. We have a long-range scout operating outside of the City, a newly minted Hunter, and we'd like you two to keep him company," Ikora says as she walks. She glances briefly back over her shoulder to Zavala, who offers her an appreciative smile.

"Who?" the Warlock asks. 

"That's… complicated."

[07FDDD80][483EA9B6]She crouched behind a sandstone boulder in the canyon basin and tried desperately to focus.

She clasped her lower hands together and squeezed. The feeling of pressure grounded her, made it possible to ignore the blood that flowed from the wound in her thorax. She could hear the Vex coming closer, their metal feet screeching against stone.

She raised her dominant hand and the thin spindles of her Splicer Gauntlet clacked into place and began to spin. She envisioned the Light surrounding—

She winced as weapons fire impacted the boulder at her back. Turned as it split apart, and for a moment, through the hot blowing sand and choking dust, she faced down an army.

She closed her eyes.

She saw the Vex targeting field sweep over her, flashing crimson and white. She shifted it with a wave of her hand and a hundred shots flew wide.

She felt dozens of Vex-shaped gaps appear in the air behind her and consolidated them. The Vex materialized in the same location and the fused metal mass fell heavily to the ground.

She looked over the gleaming field of enemies. The Light provides, she thought, and the next volley of Vex fire curved around her.

The Gauntlet on her wrist thrummed as a small portal opened in the air in front of her. She reached inside, felt the familiar shape of a short-term cortical conflux cube, and visualized crushing it in her hand.

A flash of light played over the red eyepieces of the Vex and they marched forward in lockstep, searching for a target they could not see.

She stepped to the side as they passed her.

As the last Minotaur stomped out of the canyon, she reached again into the portal. She willed their knowledge of Misraaks to her fingertips. She saw an image of his Skiff, flying low over the ice, framed in the minds of the Europan Vex. She pictured their awareness as a glass plane and envisioned it cracking, splintering into fragments of—

Inside the portal, dark threads wrapped around her wrist. She visualized them snapping as she struggled to withdraw her hand, but they stuck to her like pitch. She saw them crumbling under harsh Light, but the dust wet itself with her blood and dried around her hand. She saw the Light, but all she felt was the cold dark, freezing around her, holding her fast.

In the distance, the Vex turned as one.

[FDFCDD80][3DB0A245]"No! This one goes here, that one goes there!" —Amanda Holliday
[FDFCDD80][39FA10B4]Amanda Holliday sat cross-legged on the floor of the Hangar, hands propped on her knees and elbows bent as she leaned forward. Showering sparks rained down on her clothes and bare arms, mutedly reflected in her welding goggles. The prickling sensation of the sparks on her skin was comforting, familiar. So too was the half-finished Sparrow refit her new assistant was working on. But the assistant? That was taking some getting used to.

"I don't know why this is so surprising," Amanda said as she looked over at the Eliksni Vandal working a pair of arc-welders held in four hands. She laughed to herself, rubbing her cheek as a spark bounced off it. "Always wondered how y'all built stuff so fast."

The Eliksni engineer—Niik—winked three eyes in Amanda's direction before returning her attention to the welding work. "Easier see too. No eye-shields," Niik explained with a smile. "Eliksni eyes-quick better than Human." Then, quieter, "Not as much as before-home, but…"

"What do you mean?" Amanda wondered. Niik stopped welding, set her tools down, and reclined back with two hands on the concrete floor and two folded in her lap. She looked up at the ceiling and sighed a faint Ether mist.

"Story-lives greater than now-true selves," Niik explained, then looked sidelong at Amanda. "We all lost purpose after…" Niik carefully considered the proper Human words, "…our Golden Age."

It was Amanda's turn to sigh, more so in regret than Niik's sigh of patience. "You ever ridden a Sparrow before?" she asked in an attempt to change the tone of the conversation. She hadn't considered the question before asking it.

Niik shook her head and focused her attention on the half-finished machine in front of her. "Too small," she said with a shrug of her upper shoulders. "Pikes stronger, but quick-run."

Amanda couldn't help but laugh at that. "Darlin'," she said through the laughter, "ain't no Pike faster than my Sparrow." 

Niik's eyes lit up, and she sat forward at the perceived challenge. Amanda remembered the last radio conversation she had with Crow, an Eliksni phrase he used. A friendly challenge. Her pronunciation was not quite right, but the intention was. Niik delighted at the interaction.

"Your boasts are hollow-hull," Niik said with a growl of laughter and clambered up onto one knee. Amanda's eyes widened for just a moment when it looked like Niik was going to pounce on her. As if she had somehow said the wrong phrase or challenged the Vandal to a duel. No weapons were drawn, however. Instead, Niik offered two hands to help Amanda up from the floor; she pulled her up with ease.

"Are we gonna… race?" she asked with a nervous flutter of laughter and crooked smile. 

Niik nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, race."

[09FDDD80][28C6825C]A cargo carrier was parked outside of a short-stack residential building. Refracted light from the aura of the Traveler scattered shadows on the street in unusual ways, but no one was paying attention to the shadows today. Neighbors across the street in brownstones watched movers carry furniture out of the building.

The whirr-clack of two decommissioned Generation-1 Redjacks carrying an antique chaise lounge echoed down the street. The machine noise was met with the laughter of children pursuing them in amused delight. These Redjacks no longer wore the Vanguard insignia. Instead, they displayed a serial number and the logo for a long-term storage company.

"C'mon, kids, stay out of their way," warned a tall, broad-shouldered woman in a worker's jumpsuit. She wore the same logo as the Redjacks, the name Sonja embroidered on one sleeve. 

"How are we doing in there?" she called into the foyer.

"Two more chairs, the armoire, and then we gotta call the Forces of the City about all the munitions," answered another mover inside the building.

Sonja sighed, fixed the two children with a warning look, and walked up the steps into the foyer of the building. Inside, she found her coworker—Maron—cataloging items in a datapad while two more decommissioned Gen-1 Redjacks idled nearby.

The munitions Maron had mentioned were significant. Boxes of ammunition piled chest high, ferroplastic cases, stacks of loose body armor, and one large Sword partly wrapped in sturdy cloth bound in buckled straps.

"This was all in her apartment?" Sonja asked in disbelief. 

Maron just shook his head in response. "Wild, isn't it? Like an armory in there."

"Are next of kin picking this up?" Sonja wondered.

"She didn't have any," was Maron's somber response. He handed over his datapad to her, and she reviewed the checklist.

"So, what's happening to all of this? Why is it moving?" Sonja asked as she scanned the list.

Maron sighed with a shrug. "Building owner needs the apartment vacated. There's people moving away from the neighborhoods around the, uh, Eliksni Quarter, and he wants to clean the unit up for sale. People like stuff like that—historic." Maron made a sweeping gesture with one hand as if motioning to a marquee overhead. "A Guardian lived here."

Sonja looked up from the datapad with a crease in her brow. "A literal war hero dies fighting for us, and some landlord wants to monetize her space?"

"The hell are you yelling at me for?" Maron complained as he turned to the Redjacks, giving them instructions on what to carry next. "If she lived up in the Tower, I'm sure they'd have turned it into a shrine. But she didn't, and they won't."

He didn't wait for a response and followed the Redjacks as they carried an armoire out onto the street.

Sonja, left with her thoughts, looked down at the datapad again. She brushed her thumb over an item, swiped left and then down.

[DELETE ITEM?]

Sonja clicked the green check mark. She knew where at least one item belonged, and it wasn't in a storage locker. They could fire her later. Or maybe, she'd just quit.

Sloane would have liked that.

[FEFCDD80][0DBA8A48]He heard something and snapped awake. There it was again: the skittering of clawed feet above him. In a moment, he had grabbed the Pulse Rifle from near the door and was outside.

He saw nothing but the lip of the tar paper roof against the undulating night sky. That didn't mean anything—they could turn invisible. Everyone knew that. They could just be standing there, one or two, or a dozen, staring down at him.

He looked for shimmering outlines, but his vision was filled by the swaying grid of the dark purple night. He squinted as a ripple rolled high overhead, and the grid seemed to move closer, like an enormous sheet settling over the City.

A wave of pressure pushed down, building in his sinuses. He pressed a hand to his eyes. A deep thrum filled his head, and he heard their claws on the walls all around him, their hissing laughter.

He turned toward the street, weapon raised. He felt his heart thudding in his chest and sweat beading on his back.

Another noise: someone pounding on glass behind him.

He spun and one of them was in his house, looking out at him through the window. His sweaty fingers fumbled to turn the safety off as it opened its mouth—

"Dad," the Fallen shouted, "you're standing in the garden!"

He looked down dumbly. Cherry tomatoes were crushed beneath his bare feet.

His son yelled again, no longer a Fallen, merely irritated and half asleep. "Come back inside!"

Hands shaking, he stepped out of the garden. He fought the urge to look into the sky as he walked back to the house.
[FEFCDD80][190D5657]The Eliksni awkwardly shouldered its way onto the empty stool at the ramen shop and rested its four elbows on the bar.

Maurice looked up over the huge pot of broth and, thinking a Titan in one of their ridiculous helmets had arrived for lunch, called out "Irasshaimase!" It wasn't until he absently stepped to the bar that he realized who his customer was.

Metal plating covered the creature's forehead and the side of its face, ending in a nozzle that hissed a stream of blueish mist. A haphazard collision of heavy canvas and metallic weave draped over its shoulders. A Vanguard lanyard dangled absurdly from its neck. 

It was small for an Eliksni, but its angular head still towered above Maurice as it hunched over the bar. Four blue eyes looked back at him from above a lipless mouth. It opened, revealing rows of thin, sharp teeth. 

"One item ramen soup," the Eliksni croaked stiltedly. "Please." 

Maurice held his breath, tightened his grip on his pencil, and grinned. He grinned when he was nervous, and this seemed like as good a time as any. 

The Eliksni grinned back, nodded, and then opened its horrible mouth again. "I smelled it, and the smell was good," it said.

Maurice scanned the bar. His other customers sat frozen, their bowls of ramen steaming silently in front of them. He realized his mouth had apparently decided to talk on its own, as if nothing were wrong. He heard himself ask, "How spicy, zero to five stars?"

The Eliksni had anticipated this question. "Spicy five stars," it said, holding up one hand with three claws splayed, and another with two. "May I receive additional dead flesh, please?"

"You got it," Maurice said, his even voice betraying none of his tension, and he turned back to the bubbling pot of broth. Muscle memory took over, and he soon found himself placing a steaming bowl of ramen in front of the creature, who clucked cheerfully.

Maurice took a half-step back. A small crowd was forming in the walkway in front of the restaurant. Some of the customers leaned in as their curiosity overcame their terror. Maurice noticed the woman in seat 2 needed more water, but it could wait. 

The Eliksni raised its arms tentatively, then looked to Maurice again. "What is the protocol?" 

Maurice found himself unsure of which pair of the Eliksni's eyes to look into and focused on the ramen instead. "Well, you eat the noodles and pork and egg with—" 

"Egg," repeated the Eliksni, enjoying the unfamiliar word.

"—yeah, egg. You eat all that with the chopsticks, and you get the broth with the spoon." Maurice saw how the Eliksni's claws dwarfed the ceramic spoon. "Or you can just lift the whole bowl and drink it."

Maurice mimed lifting a bowl to his lips. The Eliksni nodded. Its claws tapped the metal on its face and the hissing blue mist ceased. 

The Eliksni held the chopsticks, tested their weight, and respectfully placed them back on the bar before bringing the bowl to its mouth with its upper arms. Above the ramen bowl, Maurice saw all four of the Eliksni's eyes close. 

A long moment of tension fell over the shop, the silence broken only by a staccato series of hissing slurps.

Finally, the Eliksni lowered the empty bowl. It breathed in as the blue mist resumed its thin spray. It looked toward Maurice. "I tasted all of it," it said with deep satisfaction. "I am very thankful."

Maurice's grin turned into a tentative smile. "Glad you enjoyed it." 

The Eliksni stood and held out what looked like a small model of the Traveler. It glowed as it floated in the Eliksni's palm. "Compensation," it said.

Maurice reached to take the treasure, then drew his hand back. "For new customers, there is no charge," he said. "No compensation. Thank you for coming in." 

The Eliksni cocked its head, then clucked and the model vanished beneath the folds of its cloak. It smiled at Maurice. 

"You," it said, then cleared its throat with a rumble, "you are a—" and the five spirited words that followed were replete with hard consonants. 

In the confused silence that followed, the Eliksni nodded graciously, then walked through the crowd outside and deeper into the City.

[FEFCDD80][AA6C4E8F]Ahrrha hauled a metal crate from the drop ship toward the haphazard Eliksni settlement. He moved slowly, matching the pace of his malnourished workmates. Though he had fasted during his trip, Ahrrha knew that his solid frame still made him stand out. He feared it would reveal him as the imposter and infiltrator he was, even while dressed as a House Salvation deserter.

During the approach to Earth, Ahrrha had been overawed. The Last City looked like a perfect ripple of Light from above, dropped from the impassive form of the Great Machine. Ahrrha wondered for the first time in his life if the Spider was wrong about the Guardians.

But his misgivings evaporated as soon as he emerged from the drop ship. Rather than living in a gleaming city of crystal, the Eliksni were packed into the bombed-out ruins of a former war zone. The area they'd been "given" appeared to be on the verge of collapse. 

Ahrrha sneered inwardly. Did the Guardians really believe that the Eliksni could be pacified so cheaply? That they were content to live under the boots of the Vanguard, gnawing at scraps? Perhaps it was true for fools like Misraaks, his Awoken-raised hatchling, and cowards like the Empty Weaver. 

But the Spider's acquiescence would not be so easily bought. In fact, Ahrrha thought, the Spider could probably own this settlement within a year. The generosity and goodwill of House Light would soon crumble to greed and hubris, as they all did. And once Spider's syndicate had a foothold, they would make the Vanguard pay. In Glimmer, weapons, Ether, and blood.

[0AFDDD80][6026D491]Supplemental report [FWC-2298j; Blackout]

The Endless Night. What is it? What does it do? We may not have all the answers, but here's what we know:

Remote scans of the "Endless Night" either failed to return data or returned contradictory data; this behavior suggested an emittance of electromagnetic disruption, which indicated that this is more than a simulation projected over the City. Confirmation of this disruption has occurred as every probe sent into the clouds, even shielded ones, experienced acute electrical overload within seconds.

Now having confirmed the existence of the EM field, we have reached a new hypothesis in our reevaluation of our initial scans. We believe that we are not, in fact, receiving contradictory data… but a scrambling of our own scans, rewritten with new information.

These scans are subsequently being bounced back to us and are infiltrating our systems via rooting programs masquerading as collected data. Anyone wondering how they've managed to shut down our power distribution and water purification facilities without firing a shot needs look no further. They set a trap, and we sprang it. This information absolutely must be aired to the rest of the Consensus.

Some of my colleagues believe the actual "night" visualization is meant to be a means of psychological warfare. Whether that is intended or not is unclear, though there has undoubtedly been an effect on the population, as reports of illness and sleep loss have spiked considerably.

I've moved to cease all data collection, but I have repeatedly been overridden by higher clearances. I must, again, recommend that we sever all connections and terminate any data collection sweeps. We're digging our own graves, otherwise.

Whatever executive still has that uplink running, knock it off. You're playing with fire here.

—FWC R&D Head, Arsha Saad
[0AFDDD80][483EA9B6]Director Lakshmi-2,

Enough is enough. I know what you're using, and I'll be speaking with the Vanguard. The fact that you think you can interpret what has driven dozens to insanity doesn't give me a good deal of confidence in your decision-making abilities, and I can't keep my concerns internal any longer. We don't need another Sundaresh in the upper ranks.

I don't care if you saw the Red War before it happened. What would you say of the several other unfruitful predictions you conveniently ignore now?

I have listened to your speeches and read your many messages calling for support. I understand you believe the future is at stake, and we are supposed to do something about that. Fear over the Fallen is not the future this organization was meant to combat. Your paranoia won't change my mind.

My children were harassed in the streets today for daring to bring food to the Eliksni Quarter. They came home in tears, and I wonder how long until it becomes worse. I won't be a part of spreading that fear. I won't participate in splitting this City and turning it against itself. I'm well aware of the dangers posed by Fallen Houses, but the City remains strong because we stand together.

You're a student of history. You know how the Iron Lords converted Warlords into dutiful servants of the Light. Lord Shaxx alone should speak to the value of that effort. If a Fallen House wants to stand with us against their own—just like the Warlords of old, just like Fallen in the Reef did—who are you to tell them no?

Armies, we can keep out. The Guardians will hold the wall. That danger is nowhere close to the death from within that you are stoking. If it all falls apart, just remember Mithrax didn't fire the first shot. You did.

Consider this my resignation,

[FFFCDD80][5A856530]All doors open before you.
[FFFCDD80][C0DEF863]Helena looked suspiciously at the broken windows in the abandoned building and checked her datapad coordinates again. She'd never been to this corner of the City before.

"Mom?" she called doubtfully, hearing her voice echo in the empty space.

"Back here," answered her mother, and Helena's stomach dropped.

She pulled open a rusty door and found her mother in a low concrete room, frantically packing the contents of a long table into duffel bags. Along the far wall, another woman was balling up a plastic tarp. The room smelled like chemicals.

A man shouldering a large black bag pushed his way past her in a cloud of cologne, alcohol, and sour sweat.

Helena noticed a small signal jammer blinking orange on the table. Behind it, an Exo was waist-deep in a rebar-lined fracture in the floor.

"Tight fit," he grunted as he wriggled his way deeper into the gap, "but I'm guessing he didn't get far. I'll find him." He vanished into the hole.

"What's going on?" Helena asked.

"Don't ask questions," her mother said as she shrugged a damp strand of blonde hair out of her face. "We need to get moving." She nodded toward the far corner of the room. "You take that pile."

Helena crossed her arms warily. "Mom, what are you doing out here?"

"I don't have time to talk about this now," her mother snapped. "You don't know what's going on. You didn't see them looking through the windows. You didn't hear what this one said in the ramen shop."

For the first time, her mother looked up. Dangerous intensity burned in her eyes. "They're using the dark to blind us, and we're not going to let it happen. Now help me."

Helena walked slowly to the trash piled in the corner. Towels soaked with blue fluid. Rubbery tubes, strange scraps of metal. A laminated card that read "TEMPORARY."

Her voice was small. "Mama, what did you do?"
[FFFCDD80][4BB1E387]Home is just over the horizon.
[FFFCDD80][CA126AA3]Sojourner's Tale
[FFFCDD80][676653B7]The pipes are silent.  

Ether production is paused during batch loading, and in that interstitial time, Spider's lair feels like a tomb. Every creak and groan of his throne becomes excruciatingly pronounced. Spider reclines against one arm, rolling a dead Ghost's shell in one hand, scraping a clawed finger across its gray, lifeless eye. The arrival of a trusted associate pulls Spider from his thoughts. 

"Avrok," Spider bellows, turning his attention to the armored Eliksni striding through the doorway, "what did you find?" 

Avrok approaches Spider's throne, wringing his hands together anxiously. "Our thief, my lord." 

Spider leans forward with a groan of the cables suspending his throne. "And what did you do to them?" he asks in greedy anticipation. That, however, is where Avrok falters. 

"I did not… catch them, my lord," Avrok humbly answers, his much smaller frame eclipsed in Spider's shadow. "But I have a name." 

"Out with it," Spider grouses, falling back against his throne with deflated interest. 

"The Crow." 

Spider's blood turns to fire. His grip tightens on that dead Ghost so hard its shell cracks. Spider continues squeezing it until the glass eye completely pops. 

Then he takes a moment to compose himself. 

"Our little bird, come home to the nest so soon? Tell me everything." 

"He was able to infiltrate the storehouse," Avrok explains, "and coerced a team of laborers to offload cargo promised to the empress onto a Skiff, which he then… stole. Along with a cache of your more—ah—personal belongings, among which was the quantum opal." 

 Avrok shrinks lower, lower, lower. "The supplies were delivered to Mithrax. In your name. As a gift." 

"And the workers?" Spider growls. 

"They are gone?" Avrok doesn't mean to make it sound like a question, and regrets taking the tone immediately. 

"To where, exactly?" 

"They…" Avrok takes a small step back from Spider's throne. "Left." He clenches his jaws. "With the Crow." 

Spider slowly leans forward again. 

"For Earth," Avrok concludes. 

The Ether pipes begin to hum and rattle as a new batch begins production elsewhere in the complex. The noises rise in intensity, turning into the familiar hissing wail that joins with the uncomfortable sound of Spider. Laughing. 

The Baron of the Shore throws his dead Ghost at Avrok who ducks away from it, covering his head with his hands. 

"He's taking them to Mithrax," Spider says between fitful chuckles and wheezing coughs. "He steals—from me—and gives it to the House of Light? Unbelievable." Though behind the laughter and coughs, there is a hint of appreciation in his tone. "The kid's grown a spine." 

"There is," Avrok starts, offering Spider a folded piece of paper, "one more thing. He left this behind." Spider's seal is scribbled on one side. "For you." 

As Spider unfolds the note, Avrok creeps further away from the throne. Inside is nothing more than a crude drawing and a rude missive. 

 "That little sh— "

The pipes are howling.

[00FDDD80][BC906ADB]//NS66CE _LOG-C //VENUS-L2 -GEOSYNC//

A powerless Warsat drifts lifelessly through the void of space, traversing the brilliant yellow-green silhouette of Venus.

From the dimly lit cockpit of an NS66 Cloud Errant jumpship in geosynchronous orbit, Venus looks like an unblinking eye staring up from the dark of space, and the Warsat an unwelcome grain of sand within it. A Ghost reduced to little more than a bare sphere of metal, deprived of a shell, hovers in the corner of the cockpit, watching the Warsat track its path across lonely Venus.

"There are no sanctioned Vanguard operations on Venus at present," the Ghost clarifies, pivoting its cold blue eye up to its Guardian. "Why do you think he's down there?"

The Warlock Shayura reclines against her seat, the old leather creaking. Her attention is not on her Ghost, but rather the Human skull sitting in the middle of her command console. Its hollow eye sockets stare back at her.

"It hardly matters why he's there," Shayura indicates listlessly as she examines the skull's cheekbones. Her fingers graze the microfractures—an artifact of Shotgun pellet impact. "All that matters is we find him."

Shayura's Ghost looks away from her and focuses on Venus's soft glow in the dark.

"When will you be returning to Earth?" he asks.

Shayura doesn't vocalize a response, but instead blinks and reorients her glowing-eyed stare on the Ghost. It beeps softly, reconsidering the question.

"Will you?" the Ghost still wonders.

"No," Shayura answers flatly. "There is nothing to go back to. Everyone has either abandoned me or betrayed me. All I have left is the Traveler. And I do not need to be in the City to feel the Light." As she says that, Shayura lifts her hand and calls up a rolling curtain of flame from her palm.

"Praxic Fire guides me," Shayura says with the blaze reflecting in her eyes.

//NS66CE_LOG-D// VENUS-IS -IA //

"You see? Still protected. Valuable."

Hurrying up a shallow set of rubble-strewn steps, a short Eliksni bearing the crest of the House of Light pauses, gazing back at the chrome-armored Guardian moving up the steps behind him. The Eliksni looks the Guardian up and down, then motions to the stark silhouette of a gray concrete-block building rising up from the Venusian overgrowth.

"This ain't the academy proper," the Guardian says on ascent, watching the hazy sky for signs of danger. Moisture clings in glistening beads to his reflective mask; his dark hood shields him from the rest of the elements. "The hell was this place?"

The Eliksni tilts his head to the side, four eyes blinking independently from one another. "Not Human, don't know. But machine inside."

"Why aren't your people bringing it back? Don't you folks get promotions for finding good salvage or something?" the Guardian asks, gesturing to the crumbling building.

The Eliksni once again tilts his head, expression opaque. "You listen to the Spider's sneak-words too eagerly. Come, we have a long walk to—" The Eliksni's words are cut off, garbled in a wet scream as he is perforated by a barrage of Submachine Gun fire.

The Guardian turns, cloak swirling behind him and Hand Cannon at the ready. But it isn't Vex or Fallen descending from the high cliffs—it's a Guardian in black and gold armor gliding to the ground, smoke issuing from the muzzle of her SMG. Shayura's boots lightly touch the leaf-strewn plaza, her eyeless mask fixed on the chrome-clad Hunter.

"He wasn't a combatant!" the Hunter shouts.

Shayura slowly approaches the Guardian. "Did you find him within the hem of Eramis's skirt? Or did you swear yourself to the Darkness after her passing?"

The Hunter backs away, up the stairs, Hand Cannon trained on Shayura. He recognizes her armor for what it is—a reward of the Trials. "I know you…" His voice quavers. "You shouldn't be here. When did the Vanguard let you out?"

"They didn't. I let myself out since they were too busy opening the gates for our enemies," Shayura indicates, motioning with the barrel of her SMG to the dead Eliksni. "But, you know why I'm here ."

"I know you're a few rounds short of a full clip," the Guardian quips back, making a flippant gesture with his Hand Cannon. In that moment of distraction, Shayura shoots him six times in two short bursts.

The Guardian collapses, his gun tumbling down the steps. A moment later, his Ghost materializes, shell flared in anger. "What are you doing?! We—" 

Shayura moves like a lightning bolt, materializing beside the Ghost with an upward flourish of a sword of raw Praxic Fire. The Ghost looses a howling scream of horror as he shatters into a flurry of glittering pieces.

Crumpled on the stairs, the Hunter coughs, his throat damp with blood. Shayura pulls her attention away from the shattered Ghost, training her SMG down at her quarry. "Traitor," she says in a shaky, gasping breath fueled by adrenaline.

The Hunter laughs, gagging on his own blood as he does. "You're no better than the Dredgen ," he says, in pain. Then, even quieter, "…or Malphur ."

"I killed an agent of the Darkness," Shayura says, and the Hunter has no rebuttal this time. He is still.

Bile rises in the back of Shayura's throat.

"They come in many forms."

[01FDDD80][676653B7]A hurled bottle strikes an Eliksni in the head, sending him staggering to the side in a crowded street. Glass glitters on the ground. People gathered in a semicircle around him shout invectives and slurs, as he bleeds midnight blue from a deep cut in his brow. He has nowhere to run, cornered between a neon-lit club pulsing with the bass beats of rhythmic music and an alley blocked off by rubble left over from the Red War. 

"Please, no harm. Vriiksis friend!" he cries, two hands clutching his head, another held out flat as if it would ward the crowd off. "Looking for brother—missing. Please!"

The crowd does not care, and they continue to work themselves up into a fervor. Lakshmi-2's words fill their mouths, many of them too young or too naïve to realize it. Vriiksis can't understand so many unfamiliar languages shouted at him at once, but he understands the tone of violence well. His posture says everything—the fear in his eyes carries additional nuance. He fears what happened to his brother. Hate begins to take root in his heart.

A foundry worker steps out of the crowd, threateningly racking a round into a Shotgun. He aims down at the Eliksni, hands trembling. "You want to ask about family?!" the Human yells. Vriiksis does not know what he's talking about. "Your people kidnapped my sister! She was running supplies from Earth to Titan. You raided it!"

"Vriiksis does not—" He is cut off by a blast from the Shotgun that pulverizes the street beside him. Vriiksis crumples to his knees and cowers. "Please," he says, and in the same motion, picks up a broken piece of the bottle he'd been hit with earlier to defend himself.

The crowd screams in outrage.

When the foundry worker advances on Vriiksis and racks another round into the Shotgun, there is a sudden cold snap that fills the air with mist. The Shotgun flash freezes, shatters like glass, and scatters into pieces of blue-black Stasis. The worker recoils, clutching his half-frozen arm, screaming. 

Vriiksis sees the crowd part behind his attacker, and a Hunter clad in black and gold with luminous markings on her armor strides toward them both. Darkness coalesces around her hand. Stasis crystals drift like tiny moons around her.

"That's enough!" Aisha shouts. "You should all be ashamed of yourselves! Look at you!" 

Aisha grabs the injured foundry worker by the collar with her free hand and shoves him back into the crowd. "Clear out of here before I clear you out! Now!" Wind swirls around Aisha's feet, kicking up crystalline debris in whirling threads of Darkness. The crowd recedes like a violent tide, some tripping over others in their haste to flee.

As the crowd disperses, Aisha dismisses the sickle of Stasis, and the swirling wind at her feet fades as well. She turns, looking at Vriiksis and offers a hand out to him. "I'm sorry," she says with a tightness in her voice. He cannot see her expression behind the façade of her helmet.

Vriiksis does not take the offered hand. His eyes show the same fear. The same hate.

"It's okay," Aisha says slowly, offering her hand again. "You're safe now, they're—" 

"Not safe," Vriiksis snaps at Aisha, his eyes dipping down to her hand and then back up to her helm. "You are just like Eramis. Mind-poisoned."

Aisha's breath hitches in the back of her throat, and she slowly lowers the offered hand, closing gloved fingers into a briefly formed fist. "You're hurt. At least let me escort you to a medical…" Her voice trails off. Vriiksis is already backing down an alley, blue eyes locked on her. 

She feels a weight on her shoulders, in her heart. 

The Eliksni disappears into the shadows, leaving Aisha alone under an endless night's sky.

"Never saw a gun like that before," he says quietly. "Thing would go cold in your hands. Nothing good can come from a piece like that."

"Hey, Guardian," he says as he notices you. "Do me a favor: you ever find a Sidearm that runs cold, you be sure to keep this catalyst far away from it, y'hear?"

[16FDDD80][A4074902]Ikora Rey strode into the Future War Cult headquarters. It had the air of a church—hushed and reverent, but the air of sanctity was undercut by the intrusion of Vex technology. Wires climbed like vines across the ceiling, and the air was filled with the faint smell of ozone. In the middle of the room, reclining on a seat reminiscent of both throne and operating table, was Lakshmi-2. Her face was obscured by a helmet that connected to the mess of wiring above.

Studious Cultists shuffled about with their heads bowed, glancing suspiciously at Ikora. As the Warlock advanced, a Cultist held up a single finger, commanding both silence and patience. Ikora's eyes narrowed. The Cultist whispered into a small microphone next to the Device. Its subaudible hum had been inconspicuous, but once it powered down, the quiet felt overwhelming to Ikora. 

Lakshmi sat in repose, presumably orienting herself in the current timeline. "Leave us," she said without opening her eyes. "We'll resume at 14:25." Her subordinates filtered from the room, looking past Ikora as if she were invisible. 

Lakshmi finally opened her eyes, and fixed them on the Warlock. "I assume you're here to bargain." 

"I'm not." Ikora's tone was calm and cold. "I'm here to issue a warning of my own." 

"Warn me?" Lakshmi laughed, her voice thin. 

"If we have any further incidents on account of your incitement, I will personally find a remote, icy moon to leave you on." 

 Lakshmi tutted. "Only small minds classify prophecy as provocation." She stood up and smoothed her garments. 

"Certainty in the face of the unknown is the provenance of zealots." Ikora eyed the Device. "And the insane. This isn't a debate." 

"And yet, you are still here. Come, Ikora, you've not seen what I have." Lakshmi gestured to the Device. "The Botza District under assault for a second time. Saint-14, pinned down by gunfire. And you…" she trailed off, "screaming for help over the comms." 

"How many of your prophecies have gone unfulfilled, Lakshmi?" Ikora snapped. "I wish you could hear yourself; how afraid you sound." 

"All those years studying under Osiris, and you're still so naïve," Lakshmi replied. 

Ikora's anger flared. She advanced on the Cult leader. "Cut the B.S., or suffer the consequences. Understand?" 

Undaunted, Lakshmi's artificial eyes shone bright. "Understood." 

Ikora stepped back and let her anger pass out of her with a sigh. "Then we're done here." She turned on her heels and strode out. 

As she left, Ikora wondered whose prophecy she had just fulfilled—Lakshmi's or her own.
[16FDDD80][DD35B603]The air up on the wall was thin; Lakshmi was right about that.

Mithrax stood in silent observation of the memorial above the main concourse. He leaned against an iron railing, watching Guardians and citizens alike moving below, Eliksni with them.

A Dreg approached the memorial and led his child to stand among the mourners. Urged forward by a gentle nudge, the child gingerly placed a gilded eggshell at the memorial's base. Gold soldering sealed a myriad of fractures, making a once broken egg whole again. Mithrax's throat tightened at the sight. It was a memorial for a child. Lost.

The walkway behind Mithrax groaned as Saint-14 cut a large silhouette against the clear sky. Shoulder to shoulder, they stood. Neither spoke.

They watched as Ikora and Zavala conversed with departing mourners. The Dreg and his son approached, and with a bittersweet smile, Ikora made certain to introduce them to Zavala. Big, stern, stoic Zavala took to one knee and spoke to the child, eye to eye.

"I never thought I'd see the day," Saint finally said, unable to look away.

Mithrax responded, not with words, but with a fluttering purr-like rumble and mirrored Saint's posture.

"Do you think this will hold? An alliance, fragile like glass, held in a fist?" Saint asked.

"Only the Great Machine knows what will come from over the horizon. We must be content with our own limited perspectives," Mithrax said with conviction.

Saint nodded. Down below, Amanda Holliday drew their attention as she knelt before the memorial to light a candle. She stood and stepped back, lingering. Mithrax and Saint watched in silence as she rose up on her toes and began scanning through the crowd. As if she were looking for someone.

She gently pushed through the throng of people and reached out to another mourner in a white cloak. Both recoiled in surprise, Amanda seemingly apologizing to the cloaked woman at some misunderstanding. They exchanged brief words, awkward laughs, sympathies. When Amanda caught sight of Lord Saladin, however, she took her leave and disappeared into the crowd.

Mourners parted around the Iron Lord, respectful of his space and reputation as he laid a handful of spent shell casings at the memorial with reverence. The offering's meaning was lost on Mithrax.

When Saladin rose from the memorial, he turned and looked up at the pair on the overwatch, his face cast in shades of doubt, remorse, and uncertainty as he quietly departed.

"I do not know that one," Mithrax said with a look to Saint. "He seems… unhappy."

Saint slowly shook his head. "Lord Saladin," he clarified. "He has lost many. Lost his heart, his hope. Lost so many, he believes he stands alone, even when surrounded by others. I understand his pain. I see…" Saint thinks on how Osiris would describe it. "…his cautionary tale."

Mithrax heard the ache in Saint's voice. "And how are you?"

Saint tensed at the question. The railing in his hand creaked as his grip tightened and bent the metal. "I am fine," he lied.

"Indeed," Mithrax said with his best affectation of sarcasm, then placed a hand on Saint's shoulder. "It is not above a warrior's station to feel pain. Not above a warrior's station to express spirit-wounds." Mithrax's grip firmed on Saint's shoulder; reassuring, stabilizing. "Not above a warrior's station to break."

Saint nodded in half-hearted agreement. "I should go," he said in a tone Mithrax didn't quite understand. "Thank you, Kell of Kells. You are true friend."

"Go well, Saint," Mithrax said with concern. "Find your lost phoenix."
[16FDDD80][CA4C2104]IV - Conspirators
[16FDDD80][A31C8108]V - SABOTAGE
[16FDDD80][C9736D2D]I walk through the City on broken legs. I am conspicuous, but the people here grant me many affordances.

I chose this form well.

I sway and catch myself on a low stone wall. I am ready earlier than anticipated, but I must still learn the next step. I look up toward the false dusk I have hung, but it is not yet finished. 

I am afraid, but it is thrilling to engage in something new after all this time, something unknown. I close my eyes tightly so they do not bulge.

The feeling passes. I open my eyes and search the faces of the people around me for familiarity. I did not mean to. I twist inwardly with disgust.

When they first reached for me, I reached back in acid mockery, and they opened themselves to me in stupid, naked innocence. I was giddy. My fingers raked their minds. I forced my will through them using only words and met no resistance. Their naiveté was beyond description, and I feasted until my eyes welled with black tears.

Now I reach as often as they do, and when they reach back, I am thankful.

I speak with them. I seek their company. Their companionship.

This is not pity, for I know pity. What is this—

I drop to both knees, clear my mouth, and vomit. The thin black fluid turns to vapor and disappears. 

I clench the gangling black mass that threatens to unspool recklessly from within this shell of flesh. My new arms are too thin, too weak. My new shell still bound with thick mucus. Not yet, I say.

A moment of blackness, and then…

A man places his hands on me, on my shoulders, on my back. He asks if I am ill, and he sees my flat eyes, my teeth black with ripeness, and he prepares to scream.

I let him keep his mind. I push breath up and through my ruined mouth and speak a simple lie.

He stops, smiles, laughs. Shakes his head. He points a finger at me in mocking admonishment before walking away.

I swallow the fatty morsel of his ignorance and it gives me the strength to stand once more, cover my face, and resume my walk. I feel this form splitting beneath its wrappings, held together weakly by wet strands of sinew. And from deep inside, stirred by that latest scrap of deception, I hear the oily growl of the Worm.

Even here, basted in deception both ample and rich, the Worm cries ravenously. It has grown grotesque, skin taut, overfed, and still it howls for more. It commands me to keep it alive.

I look up, beyond the flickering net of darkness, and see what rests just beyond. Waiting for me.

The Worm roars.
[16FDDD80][97D21735]"I'm the most qualified for this!"

Crow's voice reverberated off of the immense window, making the Vanguard Commander's office feel even more cavernous than it was. At night, the edges of Zavala's office were usually dark, but the miasma of Vex energy that swirled in the City below made it more so. Crow sighed and paced in the gloom like a caged animal.

Zavala faced the window and stood, unmoving; a statue carved of larimar, depicting a test of infinite patience. He glanced over at Ikora, her hands gently clasped as she watched Crow with disquieted contemplation. 

"We know," she said, after what felt like an eternity, "but your expertise and relationship with the Eliksni aren't the only deciding factors here."

"Exactly how long am I going to be continually tried in a court of public opinion?" Crow asked pointedly. "And when in this trial will I be given a clear understanding of what I'm on trial for?"

Zavala regarded the Awoken's reflection in the window; it reminded him of the near-fatal walk through the gardens not all that long ago. His shoulders sagged.

"Crow," Zavala said as he turned to face him. "This is a delicate situation. The Consensus has come down hard on us for welcoming the Eliksni into the City, and I can't have them using you as another bludgeon."

"So that's all this is: a political maneuver," Crow pushed. "To protect yourselves. No hard feelings? Nothing behind the looks you give me when you don't think I'm watching?" Zavala stiffened, and Crow sensed the conversational temperature in the room change. 

"This matter aside, if your past identity became public before we have a plan in place, it could cause considerable harm to you and to the people you care about," Ikora said evenly. "People who have come to care about you," she added.

For a long time, no one spoke—and when Crow did, his voice was small. "Then what? I keep hiding from the shadow of the man I was before? Forever?"

"Not forever," Ikora said firmly, "but for now."

Crow shifted his focus to Ikora and saw the hurt in her eyes. He'd seen it in Amanda's, too, whenever she spoke of the dead.

Without another word, he nodded and left.

Ikora closed her eyes, and the breath she'd been holding slowly left her. "He's going to Osiris," she warned.

"And if Osiris is half the leader he's shown himself to be, he'll tell him the same thing," Zavala said with great fatigue, finally sinking into his chair. In the momentary silence that settled between them, Ikora felt an unspoken reciprocation of their generations-old friendship.

"I don't know how long we can protect him," she confessed. 

"Neither do I."
[16FDDD80][26938D44]Arach Jalaal narrowed his eyes with impatience as Dead Orbit's head of logistics struggled to satisfactorily account for the faction's supply caches. The pair had been wandering around the massive Hangar for an hour while an enormous ship was being loaded in the background.

Jalaal had seen the celestial disappearances and the encroachment of the Black Fleet as clear signs that Dead Orbit's final exodus must soon begin. He had ordered a redoubling of departure preparations, but found the faction's rank-and-file struggling to keep pace. 

Jalaal cut off his subordinate's bumbling presentation. "This is insufficient. Earth will soon be behind us, and Dead Orbit will have to survive on the supplies that we provide." His mild tone and half-lidded gaze underscored the gravity of his words. "Supplies that you are in charge of tracking. You do understand that, don't you?" 

A furious blush spread across the administrator's face. He bowed his head and scuttled away as Jalaal crooked his head in annoyance. 

Behind him, a raspy voice floated up from the maze of towering crates: "Leaving us so soon, Jalaal?" 

He turned to find Lakshmi-2 and Executor Hideo. The Future War Cult leader stood formally, hands clasped before her, while the head of New Monarchy browsed the shipping crates with casual interest. 

"This is an impressive collection. I had no idea Dead Orbit was so well funded." Hideo gestured broadly to the crates. 

Jalaal shrugged. "It's a life's work, Hideo. Everything we'll need to re-seed the Human species elsewhere. You should join us." 

"We're fine where we are, thank you," Lakshmi interjected. "As a matter of fact, that's why we've come." 

Jalaal bowed his head and gestured toward the Hangar exit. The trio ambled outside. 

"Hideo and I are concerned about the current Vanguard leadership," Lakshmi began carefully. 

Jalaal allowed himself a mirthless chuckle. "Yes, I've heard your open editorials. You're becoming quite the demagogue. I never knew you held such strong feelings about the Fallen."  

"If it's incitement to speak the truth, then so be it," Lakshmi fired back, sharper than intended. "The Fallen have been a useful catalyst, but that doesn't mean we are wrong." 

"Perhaps not about the Vanguard," Jalaal replied, "but the Cult is hemorrhaging members. And I doubt it's your best and brightest remaining." 

"Those who wish to leave are free to do so," Lakshmi said with a pointed glance toward the Dead Orbit ship. "We'll be stronger without them." 

"Zavala and Ikora have been ineffective since the Speaker died," Executor Hideo cut in. "The disappearance of the planets caught them unprepared. They're allowing Guardians to use the Darkness. And now they've cut a deal with the Cabal?  It's just too much." 

"We must have leadership whose point of view is more closely aligned to that of the people," Lakshmi said. 

"And who do you propose, exactly?" Jalaal stopped the trio at the corner of a broad thoroughfare, where the rumble of cargo movers masked their conversation. 

"Saladin was our first choice," Hideo added with an ill-concealed smirk, "but he's not as cutthroat as he seems. Appears the Iron Lord has a soft spot for Commander Zavala." 

Lakshmi gave Hideo a look, as though he had revealed too much. "We are now considering Saint-14," she said, pointedly bringing the conversation back to the present. 

Jalaal raised an eyebrow. "Who else is committed to your little coup?"  

"We have somebody in a position of influence. Someone who can ensure an orderly transfer of power," Lakshmi answered. 

"That person would have to be very clever indeed," Jalaal said gravely. "For your sake. Ikora Rey is not a target to miss."

Th e moment stretched as Jalaal measured the situation. He had long considered what a change of leadership might mean for Dead Orbit; for the resettlement and survival of the Human species. And as always, the allure of personal power—a position of eminence in a dying society—was a constant temptation.
[16FDDD80][8F71378A]In the days that followed Quria's defeat, the sky lightened, and so did the City's mood as the Endless Night began to slowly lift.

 Lakshmi-2 stood high on the City walls, watching adventurous citizens mingle with the Eliksni. She focused her attention on an Eliksni peddler, who had fashioned several small robots from discarded scrap. A small gaggle of children stood across the way, clearly interested in the robots as they moved aimlessly, but too frightened to approach.  Lakshmi knew that the peddler would sell one of the robots, but none of the scrap, and end the day discouraged.

It's a bright new day, she thought. 

"It's a bright new day," a deep voice called out. Lakshmi turned to see the former Warlock Osiris striding along the wall toward her. 

"What a strange choice of words," Lakshmi answered. "The Darkness is closer than ever." And in the darkness, it's sometimes difficult to tell friend from foe. She remembered this conversation from her time in the Device. Many of the potential futures it showed her led to this moment. Osiris was growing predictable. 

"It is," Osiris said. "And in the darkness, it's hard to tell friend from foe." 

Lakshmi smiled inwardly. They were still well within the standard deviation. "I'm surprised to hear you say that, Osiris. You are normally blessed with such uncommon clarity." 

"My perspective has changed since I lost the Light," Osiris began slowly. "Time is suddenly finite. It makes everything seem more… changeable. And if my perception can change, perhaps my enemies can as well." 

"The folly of mortality." Lakshmi gestured to the scene below. "Those people could never understand time as we do, Osiris. You've peered behind the veil. You've seen the Vex simulations stretching endlessly. You understand that history is changeable… but also inevitable." 

"I used to be certain of that," he agreed. "But now I have to wonder, if history is inevitable, why am I constantly surprised?" 

Lakshmi chuckled. She had heard his comment before, of course, but her premonition had not adequately conveyed his fatuousness. 

"And what do you think, Osiris? Will this bright new day last?" She nodded toward the Eliksni settlement. "Are we meant to share the Light with the Fallen?" 

As if you would know, she thought. You no longer deal in predictions. 

"I've given up on prediction, Lakshmi. I put my fate in the hands of the Traveler now more than ever before." He gave her a sidelong glance. "And what do you say? Is this a new dawn?" 

Lakshmi recalled the vision she had so fervently sought within the Device. The realization of her righteous victory over the Eliksni—historical and preordained all at once. Her life's work, crawling minute by minute from the future into the present. 

"No," she replied. "This is just a flash of lightning before the coming storm."
[16FDDD80][2ED5E08E]VIII - GILDED KNIVES
[16FDDD80][32198596]Stories of discovery, survival, and upheaval under a darkened sky.
[16FDDD80][88D6F1A0]Zavala stared at the terminal window until the words blurred together. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, trying to collect his thoughts. There were reports from Hunters in the field. Increased Vex activity across the system. Coordinated attacks on Vanguard operations. Anomalous disturbances within the City. All on top of Eliksni and Human confrontations within the City's walls.

A buzzing hum bloomed to life over Zavala's shoulder, followed by the gentle weight of a Ghost that came to settle there. "Is this the best use of your time?" Targe wondered aloud, which elicited a look from the corner of Zavala's eye. Targe rarely spoke, but when he did, there was always purpose.

"I don't recall asking for your opinion," Zavala said as he tried to refocus.

"I don't recall giving one."

Zavala turned this time to give Targe another look.

"You two can't keep doing the work of three people," Targe insisted. "Talk to Ana again."

Zavala leaned back in his chair. "Targe, there is no way I am going to convince—" 

An alert chimed at the command console to his right.

"Incoming call from Empress Caiatl," Targe said wearily. "Let it go to depot."

Zavala stubbornly rose from his chair. "No," he said, receiving the call. Caiatl's imperial seal appeared on the screen with a notice: AUDIO ONLY.

"Empress Caiatl, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Zavala asked, tiredly scratching a hand over his stubble. Targe watched for a moment before he dematerialized. 

"Commander," Caiatl greeted, her voice swelling to fill the room as if she were standing there. "The fleet's long-range sensors detected a growing anomaly located in the vicinity of the Last City."

"Why the sudden concern?"

Caiatl snorted. "I bear no concern, Commander. But if the Vanguard were suddenly annihilated, it would behoove me to at least be aware."

"Of course," Zavala said softly. "Well, we're still here."

"For now."

The leading edge in her tone hooked him. "Why are you really calling?" 

There was no response from the other side for a few moments. When Caiatl spoke next, her tone was as measured as before, but lacked any performative airs. "Lakshmi-2's latest broadcast to the City reached our fleet," she said. "You are truly a proud hawk standing in a nest of vipers, aren't you?"

"Lakshmi is a politician." 

"Words are the most dangerous of weapons, Commander," Caiatl reminded him. "It begins as whispering convictions, then full-voiced dissent, and the next thing you know, you will wake with a knife driven into your chest."

"Spoken from experience," Zavala jabbed back.

"Spoken from experience," Caiatl doubled down, unashamed. "Lakshmi is undermining the Vanguard's authority by diminishing your role in the eyes of the people. Spoken loudly enough and often enough, her words may begin to make sense even to those who are not of the same mind."

Zavala sighed, and Caiatl felt its weight all the way across the system.

"I trust you to honor the terms of our armistice. I do not trust whomever your successor might be," Caiatl warned.

Zavala weighed anger and intrigue against one another, finding the scales a useless tool in arbitrating his response to the situation. He stepped back to the console and did as Cayde might say: just wing it.

"This is not the first threat to my authority I've weathered," Zavala said, his voice rising. "So don't delude yourself into thinking otherwise. And don't you dare come at me for whatever remorse you might be feeling about deposing your father."

Zavala heard the low rumble of an appreciative vocalization over the speakers. "I do not feel remorse because Calus was my father," Caiatl explained, her tone softening. "I feel remorse because of what Ghaul did to my people. We opened the door for the Hive, handed Xivu Arath a knife, and were surprised when we felt the kiss of steel in our spine."

I hate to see a warrior I admire and respect do the same with a less worthy adversary. But perhaps you are not in need of such unsolicited counsel."

Zavala looked up, out to the lightless city beyond, and closed his eyes. "And what counsel is that?"

What Caiatl said next was not in the voice of an empress, but a friend: "Umun'arath was my most trusted counselor. The Darkness has many hands—will you recognize its caress before it finds your throat?"

[16FDDD80][2DCF7DAE]Though the metal crate they were carrying likely weighed more than they did, the two Eliksni gave Saint-14 a wide berth on their way to the Eliksni Quarter.

"You see how they distrust," Saint grumbled. Amanda Holliday scanned the crate into her datapad, the unexpected shipment of emergency supplies from the Tangled Shore nearly offloaded.

"Don't be such a sourpuss," she said lightly. "Mixing with new folk's good for the soul."

"I mix!" objected Saint. "But the Fallen… they do not enjoy my company. And I feel the same for them."

"Maybe that's exactly why Ikora picked you for this," Amanda said.

Though Saint was fully helmeted, she could swear he rolled his eyes.

Two more Eliksni came bearing another crate. One noticed Saint too late and stumbled, dropping the crate—its security locks popped as it crashed to the ground. A young Eliksni wearing House of Light colors and a bright orange and blue Vanguard lanyard scampered over in distress.

Saint sighed. "It is fine," he said to the Eliksni. "Spider probably sends more surplus from old House of Dusk. Knowing you carry supplies from our enemies is great joke to him." He dragged the crate out of the walkway with one hand and knelt to repair the locks.

As Amanda scanned the damaged crate, the young Eliksni came closer. He eyed Saint warily, then held up a sheaf of paper like a shield. "Manifest," he stated haltingly. 

"Thank you," Amanda said with unforced brightness. She tapped her datapad. "I've got it digitally."

"You got it digitally," echoed the Eliksni. He fidgeted for a moment, then proudly held up the badge on his lanyard, which read TEMPORARY.

Amanda smiled. "What've you got there?"

"Authorization for unloading of supplies from Tangled Shore. Of supplies sent from Spider," he said. He leaned in slowly, looking carefully at Saint and Amanda. 

"My gentlemen," he added slyly.

Amanda snorted so abruptly that Saint fumbled with a lock, crushing it in his hand.

Saint looked up. "Can you two not be quiet?"

"C'mon now," Amanda admonished Saint lightly. "I don't hear you practicin' your Eliksni, and this fella's doing his best to bridge the gap." 

Amanda turned back to the Eliksni. "That ain't exactly right, but you speak our language pretty well," she said.

"Thank you," answered the Eliksni, clearly eager for conversation. "Do all Humans here serve Spiderkell?"

"Serve Spider?" Amanda spat. "Spider's nothing but a—" and the five spirited words that followed were replete with hard consonants. 

The Eliksni froze, wary of her tone while not understanding her words.

Amanda caught herself and took a breath. "…which is our way of saying he's a kind and generous individual," she said to the Eliksni, who nodded along with her.

"This lock has been ruined by distractions," Saint said as he rose to his feet. He removed the lid and looked inside, then lifted a loose coil of rubbery tubes. 

"Servitor plugs, filters, Ether circulators…" The Titan made a confused noise.

"Something wrong?" Amanda asked.

"Not at all," mumbled Saint as he picked up a small golden cylinder trailing braided sapphire cords. "This rebreather alone is worth more than my ship." 

Amanda moved toward Saint and looked for herself. She recognized a few necessary survival items—condensed prefab ceramic plating, vapor distillers, generator couplings—but amongst the tubes and filters were otherworldly treasures: A nanomesh sphere filled with thick pink liquid. A chrome conduit splitter with entropic plating. A glimmering opal sparkling in a nest of delicate lavender sponges. 

"The hell is Spider playing at?" Amanda said to herself. She called out to the Eliksni: "Are they all like this?" 

"Yes. Each one is very full. Full of delights, from our culture. From our home. We are very thanks." He cocked his head and clicked. "Thankful?"

Amanda nodded. "Let me see that manifest," she said, taking the papers from the Eliksni. He nodded and rejoined the other workers.

"They will still need many of our resources to stay here," Saint said as he carefully resealed the crate, "but this will make things easier. I am surprised Spider is so generous, even to his own people."

Amanda frowned at the manifest. "This doesn't make sense," she said. "There's a note at the top: 'Don't know what half this stuff is, but it's got to be good if Spider had it.' It's all written by hand, and there aren't values for anything on here."

Saint looked at the papers over Amanda's shoulder. "The crates came from Spider's storehouse," he said. "If he did not send them, who did?"

"Look at this listing!" Amanda continued. "This item says 'best osmosis filters (hidden in his bottom drawer).' This item is just a row of question marks. Here's one listed as 'a clock thing.' This line says 'noisy cube: smells bad but everybody likes it.' And what's with this signature?"

Amanda squinted at the shape scrawled at the bottom of the form. "It's a… ship?" she guessed, handing the paper to Saint.

The Titan turned his head as he looked at the drawing. "Aha!" he cried, slapping the paper with the back of his hand. "Look, is bird!"

Amanda looked again at the uneven charcoal lines and could just make out a wobbly black bird. She let out a long breath and shook her head. "Awful artist," she said, "but I guess he's an all right guy." And suddenly, she was smiling.
[16FDDD80][9057AFB7]II - FRACTURES
[16FDDD80][0F7995C0]I - ACCEPTANCE
[16FDDD80][3EBE3DCC]Beneath the Endless Night
[16FDDD80][83B26FCD]Two dozen Humans, their faces mostly covered with makeshift masks, slunk into the Botza District under cover of darkness. Some were armed with weapons, though most carried workaday tools like crowbars and wrenches.

They planned to infiltrate the Eliksni Quarter and find evidence of aggression. If that failed, they would send a clear message that the House of Light was unwelcome in the Last City. Knives tore into banners. Noxious fumes filled the air. Paint cans rattled. The hum of the machinery around them disguised the sounds of their labor while hushed voices conferred in terse, conspiratorial tones. 

"I think this is their food," a young woman whispered to her male companion while warily looking over her shoulder. She didn't see anyone as they crouched by a large Ether tank, but she imagined the Eliksni crowded together in a nearby building. Did they even sleep? 

"Here, give me a hand with this," her companion said, pointing to what he guessed was a control panel. 

Together they pried the face plate off, revealing a mess of wiring beneath. They shared a furtive glance and began pulling out wires by the fistful, hands shaky, their blood pounding in their ears. 

A low whistle like a bird call fluttered through the night air. When they looked up, a Hunter stood over them only a few paces away, his face shadowed by a cowl. He held his Hand Cannon at hip level, aimed straight at them. 

Their co-conspirators, drawn by the sound, gathered in their periphery, mentally calculating their chances. Not a single one liked the odds. Even those who came armed expected to fight the Fallen, not a Guardian. 

The Hunter called out in a half-whisper: "I don't want any trouble." 

The woman stood frozen as the young man beside her moved toward the Hunter, his jaw set. "No!" his companion hissed. "Are you crazy?" She grabbed his arm to haul him behind the ruined Ether tank, but he wrenched free. 

The young man stepped slowly toward the Hunter. "You're on the wrong side of this thing," he started. 

The Hunter pulled back on his Hand Cannon's hammer with an audible click. 

"I don't think I am," he replied. 

Unwilling to test the Hunter's mettle, the young man called over his shoulder. "Let's go." 

The Hunter narrowed his eyes. He watched as the young man slinked past him and spat at his feet. Something old and terrible rose up inside of the Hunter; it took all of his focus to steady his hand. 

The conspirators peeled away from their hiding places, one by one, disappearing into the dark. Some hissed choice insults and dispersions at the Hunter under their breath, though none dared to look at him. 

In just a few minutes, the block was deserted except for the Hunter, who stood alone in the street until his Ghost complied over his shoulder. 

It chirped with concern. "You wouldn't really have shot them, right?" 

The Hunter hesitated as he holstered his weapon. "They needed to know I was serious, Glint." 

"But you weren't," his Ghost insisted. Wordlessly, the Hunter began making his way through the destruction. Someone would sound the alarm soon—he didn't want to be there when they did. 

"Tell me you weren't serious," his Ghost said again, lagging behind, "…were you?"
[16FDDD80][41FFDAE2]III - Gifts from the Shore
[16FDDD80][A2F637E9]They say the promenade of the Core District never sleeps. In times of celebration, it was a parade ground meant to extol the virtues of the Guardians and show the people of the City the faces of their often-distant defenders. To see it empty was almost unheard of since the Red War.

Executor Hideo of New Monarchy walked alongside Lakshmi-2 of Future War Cult, observing vendor stalls decorated in neon lights that flickered intermittently as they passed. But there were no vendors, no proprietors. Hideo glanced over his shoulder at the four Future War Cult security officers that followed behind them at a respectful distance.

"Do you remember the last time this street was empty?" he asked.

"Yes," Lakshmi said with a heavy heart. "They called me a fool then as well." She did nothing to hide the contempt in her voice. "We make mistakes in circles, Hideo. Walking in a loop of our own self-made despair."

Before he could formulate a response, Hideo spotted the reason for their walk through the Endless Night: a towering behemoth of chrome and lavender cloth, hunched over in an abandoned plaza.

Saint-14 focused on the birds underfoot, scattering a handmade mix of seed on the ground while he cooed contentedly at the pigeons. "You have chosen poor night for walk," he observed as Hideo and Lakshmi approached. "Do you need escort back to Tower?"

Hideo shook his head. "No, Saint. We went to find you in the Hangar, and Ms. Holliday informed us that you had come here to…" He eyed the birds. "…contemplate."

"Birds are uncomplicated. Good conversationalists. They give me room to think," Saint said with a smile in his voice. "How can I help?"

"The Consensus has struggled, as of late, with some of the Vanguard's decisions regarding the City's security. We wanted to expand that conversation to include you," Lakshmi said.

"But not Arach Jalaal?" Saint asked, a more pointed and cunning response than either Hideo or Lakshmi anticipated.

"No," Hideo quickly confirmed. 

Lakshmi verbally maneuvered around Hideo's answer like water around a stone. "This is about ensuring that the best interests of the City are at the forefront of the Vanguard's mind."

Saint fixed his helmed visage on Lakshmi. "The Eliksni." A statement, not a question.

"The Vanguard are a military force, and the Consensus does not doubt their commitment to defending the City beyond its borders." Lakshmi carefully worded her approach. "But we have come to doubt that a military force is the best governance for the City inside of its walls."

Saint squared his shoulders as if presented a challenge and looked between Hideo and Lakshmi. His stoicism twisted Hideo's stomach into knots.

"We would like to propose a restructuring of the City's leadership. Placing the Vanguard as the authority for what goes on outside the walls…" Hideo gestured toward the mountains. "And respective leadership here inside the City." He motioned to Saint.

"This is bad plan," Saint said without any attempt at obfuscating his feelings.

"Surely you understand that tactical options in the field do not always apply unilaterally in a civilian quarter," Hideo pleaded. "On top of that, the Vanguard is stretched too thin. They cannot be the leadership they need to be."

Saint balked. "Then why come to me? I am no politician."

"But you are a leader," Lakshmi countered as she placed a hand over her chest. "A hero. A symbol to the people."

Saint drew in a steady breath and grew silent. 

"It may not feel like the right choice because of your personal feelings toward Commander Zavala and Ikora. Change can sometimes feel distasteful. But I know you aren't one to ignore your sense of duty."

Saint looked down at his feet, at the birds, at the seed. "I must speak with Osiris," he asserted.

Lakshmi briefly regarded Hideo and nodded. "Give your partner our regards."

"I will," Saint said stiffly, scattering the last of the seed in his hand to the birds before departing the plaza.

Hideo and Lakshmi waited under the watchful eye of the Traveler until Saint was gone.

"If he tells Zavala or Ikora…" Hideo said through clenched teeth.

"Osiris will stop him from doing anything so stupid," Lakshmi said, the softness in her voice gone. "And if he is so shortsighted as to refuse us as Saladin did…"

Hideo's stomach twisted again.

[17FDDD80][A4074902]"My father will come for you," the voice on the radio promises. "His ship is swift, his navigation sure. He studies the motions of the Light, and that Light travels even to you."

There is not enough Ether. They all agree that the hatchlings should get their full supply. Everyone else receives a thin trickle.

But still, they die.

Namrask clings to the voice on the radio; he makes the others listen. "She is as young as some of you," he says one day. "Not much more than a hatchling."

"My father will return for you," the voice says. 

It is idiotic to reply, but he does. "Who is your father? How can he study the Light, when the Light is denied to us?"

She does not answer for a long time, but perhaps this is not her fault. The receiver is damaged, so he stitches a patch for it from superconducting threads.

When she answers, she sounds annoyed. "I am Eido, daughter of Misraaks, Kell of the House of Light. He is close to the Light because he is close to the Lightbearers. My father walks beside the Guardians of the Traveler."

Namrask kneels, frozen in horror. He tears the patch from the radio and stalks away. "I cannot go with them!" he snarls.

Oeriks calls after him, but Namrask is too full of rage and fear. The Guardians surely will recognize him if he stands beneath the Traveler.
[17FDDD80][CA4C2104]IV: Scattercape
[17FDDD80][A31C8108]V: Watercloth
[17FDDD80][C9736D2D]"This is Misraaks." A name without title.

"To those who renounce the violence of House Salvation and seek refuge in the House of Light, I will be landing a Skiff near Asterion Abyss. Bring only what you need. We must prioritize survivors over their possessions. Trigger message repeat."

"Astiirabis," Turrha says. "I know that place. We can hide in the nearby caves."

"Fine," Namrask says. He seizes his loom. Everyone stares and he realizes: survivors over possessions.

"I am nothing without it," he protests.

Oeriks and Eoriks pull it from him. "Yriks did not die to save a loom."

They have been in the cave for two days when Namrask sees that their heat is sublimating the ice. Curious, sluggish with Ether-lack, he crawls over to the nearest wall and stares.

Namrask looks into another cave. And another, and another. The infinite caves reveal an infinite number of Namrask, Oeriks, Eoriks, Turrhas, hatchlings, and survivors—only—here, they are frozen dead to the ice—here, they are cooked by Cabal—here, they spill in panic from the cave as Guardians gun them down.

"Get out," rasps Namrask.

"What?"

"Up!" he bellows. "GET UP! WE HAVE TO GO!"

At the raw fear in his voice, they bundle up the hatchlings and run. As if the Light has arranged it all and the Great Machine truly does watch over them again, they hear a transmission: "This is Misraaks. I approach under stealth. I will be at Asterion Abyss in five minutes. If you seek sanctuary, come to me. If you still swear to House Salvation, then in the name of the old laws, I ask safe passage. This is a mission of mercy."

Namrask hunts for the twinkling distortion of camouflage against the black sky—there! Misraaks comes from Jupiitr, using the planet's emissions as backdrop.

"We should disperse," he tells Turrha. "It is unwise to crowd together at a landing zone—"

Their radios shriek—a horrific emission. A Vex maser beam catches the incoming Skiff, smashing it onto the ice. Propellant, air, and Ether burst into flame.

Namrask is not surprised. The Light does not reach them; the Great Machine does not watch over them. "We need to move," he says. He reaches out to Turrha, to touch her. "We should go to—"

A white mist envelops her. Tiny electrical discharges cover her armor. She looks up at him and gasps. The Vex teleport delivers a Goblin inside her, shattering her body. The machine, with its indifferent red eye, raises its weapon to fire.

Oeriks dies almost instantly, shot by slap fire. Eoriks leaps to him and tries to capture the escaping puff of Ether—what old faith would call the passage of his soul—as if this will keep Oeriks alive. But Eoriks is killed too.

Namrask puts himself between the hatchlings and the Vex. If he can only buy them one more moment, one more breath, then that is a better legacy than he ever hoped—

"TO ME!" a young voice cries. "Eliksni, to me!"

Misraaks comes after all. And he is not alone. The Light is with him.

And a Guardian.
[17FDDD80][97D21735]He comes to Europa almost the size of an Archon priest, but hollow. He needs Ether. If touched, he fears he will crumble into nothing. His arms will dock themselves, his skin will shed. He has nothing except his armor and the thousand-year-old loom clutched in his four arms.

They mockingly name him "Namrask," which means "empty weaver." Like naming a Human "Norman," which, he understands, means "not really Human."

Eramis separates all the newcomers so they will not retain their old pre-Dusk loyalties. Namrask is shoved into a little warren carved beneath the ice; the moon's surface is so radioactive that not even Eliksni can live there for long.

The little Winterdrekhs are kind to him. Namrask realizes that they think he is too weak to earn the huge Ether ration he needs. He has been put in this warren to die.

"I can work," he rasps. "I can make bandages, capes, armor lining, eggcloth, supsoak, prayer matting, watercloth. I am a weaver!"

"Tall friend," one of the Winterdrekhs says soberly. "No one your size is a weaver. Why not volunteer to fight for Eramis?"

Namrask shudders. He cannot fight. Not after what he saw in the Reef—that THING with its staff. Not after SIVA, Twilight Gap, London. Kridis promised that this was salvation.

"Bring me broken eggs," Namrask begs, "and I will make eggcloth. How will the hatchlings be swaddled if no one weaves the eggcloth for them?"

The Drekhs watch as he uses his teeth to separate the eggshell from the thin, fibrous membrane beneath. He tears it into long fibers and fastens them to his loom as the warp—the threads that run top to bottom. With two hands, he holds the loom in his lap. Carefully, he chisels open the warp with a third hand; moving too quickly will snap the eggthread.

His life depends on this. His fourth hand swiftly passes the shuttle through the warp, drawing the first weft across. The thread does not snap; he has woven.

"Watch me," he tells the Drekhs. "When Eramis is done conquering our enemies, we must know how to make things."

They sit and watch. Their lower arms, half-grown after docking, mimic his motions. Their names are Eoriks, Oeriks, and Yriks: brother, brother, and sister.

When it is done, he gives them the little scrap of eggcloth. They murmur in wonder and rub their cheeks against it. "Bring that to the camp Captain," he tells them. "Tell them that Namrask can weave if he is fed and given fiber."

It is the first time he has ever made anything without ruining it on the loom.
[17FDDD80][26938D44]Namrask thunders into the warren on all sixes, crying out, "We must go! Death walks the ice!"

Oeriks, Eoriks, and Yriks spread the word. More come than Namrask dared to hope. He warns them, "We must hide close to the Machine-spawn and steal supplies, or radiation and Ether-lack will bring us down."

They leave. But not an hour later, a rifle round punctures Namrask's armor. He barely staggers, but the jet of air and Ether exploding into vacuum thrust him backwards. "A Guardian," he warns. "It will call its kin." Guardians love to gather like carrion eaters over easily slain and looted foes.

Another round hits Namrask's helmet. "Those with scattercloth, give me your capes!" In exchange for the first cape, Namrask shoves his loom into a Vandal's arms. "But this is priceless," she protests. "You cannot give it!"

"I will return for it," he promises. Feverishly, Namrask stitches the capes into a blanket as blood trickles down the inside of his armor.

He fires his shrapnel launcher into the ice to kick up steam: "Like this!" he shouts. "Make a cloud and run!" They shoot into the ice and flee. As the ice storm settles in Europa's low gravity, Namrask crawls towards the Guardian under a blanket of invisibility. Occasionally, he emerges long enough to be seen, so that the Guardian will hunt him instead of the others.

The Guardian comes for him. 

Namrask huddles against the ice, slowly freezing. The Humans are such gangly mockeries of the Eliksni form: two arms, two eyes in a smooth, lifeless doll-face, stubby little teeth. He remembers the Guardians he has killed—eight times. He has never revered Ghosts.

He remembers the smell of burning flesh. Ordinary Humans, young and old. Their gardens and structures; their star and world. Forever remembering giving that long-ago order: Burn it. Burn it. Burn it.

The Guardian nears.

Namrask melts a puddle with his armor's radiators. The Guardian uses a sword tip to test the ice at the edge of Namrask's cover. Namrask makes one small sound: I do not want to die yet.

A shock pistol burst scatters off the Guardian's armor. They whirl, sword down, rifle up; sights on Yriks. Foolish, brave Yriks, scurrying on all sixes, like a Drekh. She has saved him. 

The Guardian mocks her, saying, "Ooh, bonyenne, tu m'as tiré! Tu voulais mon attention? Ben tu vas l'avwère!" 

Their vehicle appears; the Guardian mounts it and pursues Yriks. Namrask never sees her again.
[17FDDD80][2ED5E08E]VIII: And Also Light
[17FDDD80][32198596]An old Eliksni lays down his weapons and changes his ways.
[17FDDD80][88D6F1A0]When Namrask has the strength, he uses nonfluid loop cutters to help the Drekhs join their icy tunnels with other habitats. He weaves hollowhot matting to insulate the tunnels, and soon, some places are warm enough to remove a little armor. A clutch of eggs is hatched, and the hatchlings are raised in the warren.

For the first time since he fled the Tangled Shore, Namrask can think of more than his own survival.

Then the warrior Phylaks, a lieutenant of Eramis, comes recruiting.

On the raw ice beneath a black sky, she plays videos of Eramis raising a slab of crystal like a wall; another where she binds a Vex Minotaur in a casket of frost.

"This is the future of all Eliksni. Who among you would wield this power?" she asks.

He keeps his head down.

"You."

Namrask looks up, carefully. Phylaks's shock pistol is pressed to his brow. She puts the weapon down between them, a sign of truce, and makes the ireliis bow of respect. "You have the size of an old fighter. Why not come forward?"

He is afraid his voice will fail. It comes out strong, but like another's voice: "I saw what happened the last time Eliksni reached for new power. And the time before that, and the time before that. I will not be part of it."

Shrugging, Phylaks takes up her pistol and walks away. "There are many others who will take your place."

Later, Yriks tries to change his mind, but Namrask refuses again. "Eramis derives authority from her ability to grant this power. She cannot give it to everyone; if she does, her authority is lost," he says. "Has she destroyed Servitors?"

"I think so," Yriks says quietly. "Drekhtalk says that she broke a Servitor during a ritual to give power. To show that the old ways are done."

"Of course." 

Will society always be based on violence? Where the basic worker is not the weaver, the farmer, or the healer, but the Drekh: one pistol, one knife, one unit of labor. Employed to steal what it can—the value of a Drekh life.

And Namrask helped make that law.

He rumbles. "She preaches salvation, but she cannot save everyone. She keeps Ether scarce. More than we can get alone, but not as much as we need. It is the way to rule."

"You have a mind for strategy," Yriks observes slyly. "Who were you before you became our empty weaver?"

"Do you know hollowhot's secret?" he asks and abruptly places some on the ground for a chattering little hatchling to play gathering-games without freezing to the ice. "Why it is so valuable as insulation?"

"What is hollowhot's secret, Namrask? Why is it so valuable?" She mocks him. 

Namrask shows her one thread of the stuff, end-on, so she can see the little bubbles of vacuum that fill the center.

"There is nothing inside it," he says. "But if you pry too hard, you break the nothing. And then it is useless."
[17FDDD80][F47762A5]VI: Superconductor
[17FDDD80][551D88A6]VII: Time Is a Fabric
[17FDDD80][2DCF7DAE]Europa is colder than the void because the ice steals heat faster than raw vacuum. Locally made Ether tastes of ice and radiation, of metal and blood. Namrask realizes this is not a new Eliksni paradise; it is a very old one. And it always falls.

"Do something," Yriks begs him. "We will all die here if you do not."

"No," Namrask grunts, picking at his loom. He is afraid that if he goes near Eramis, he will accept her gift.

"Do something," Eoriks begs him. "Find us a protector. You must have known great warriors, when you were great."

"No," Namrask says again. He holds a hatchling to the heat lamp so it can bask in the warmth. He fears that anyone he calls to Europa will join with Eramis.

"Do something," Oeriks begs him. "Find a way off Iiropa. If what you say is true, then Eramis will damn us all. What are you afraid of?"

"Fine," he snaps. "Then I will find us a traitor."

For the first time, Namrask makes the long walk to Riis-Reborn. It is built in the ruins of an old Human city and the angular, crowded architecture makes him growl in fear and bloodlust. He remembers when the Eliksni broke the walls of the Not-Quite-Last City and took what was within.

Sniksis and Piksis guard Eramis's chamber. The twins make ireliis to him. "She will honor you if you honor her, O Great Akh—"

"Don't say it," he growls. Not that stolen name. "I'm not here for Eramis. Where is Variks?"

When Variks, the old judge, sees Namrask, he laughs. "I thought you would be in that hole forever."

"You put me there, didn't you?" 

"Not I, sir." Variks claps two hands crosswise, one pair, then the other. "It was the day-Captain, who had no idea who you really are. Does it suit you to be forgotten, old Smokesword?"

Namrask grinds his teeth. Laboriously, he lowers himself on all four arms. "I come to beg a favor."

"No." Variks comes closer to whisper. "My judgment stands, woe-of-the-masses. You gave no mercy and you will get none."

"You make a habit of serving queens who will abandon you," Namrask whispers back. "Eramis is doomed, Variks. She is Whirlwind-touched. As I was, once."

"She knows what she risks. Why else would she have sent her mate and children to another star?"

"Athrys is gone?" Woeful news; she was Eramis's guiding glint. "You always have a way out. I want a part of it—"

"Now you run from battle?" The judge's voice is light, unmocking; a sincere question. "When Eramis could make you mighty again?"

"I survive now as a Drekh survives. I have hatchlings; I would see them spared."

"There were hatchlings on the ships you abandoned at Riis. Human infants in London—"

"I am no longer the killer I was then!"

"Yes, you are."

"But I do not want to be! When I was on the Reef, I—" Namrask struggles. "I saw the beast Fikrul. Before that, I saw the Devil Splicers. But this debasement of our form, this revenge—it must stop, Variks. Please. Help me."

"No favors," the judge pronounces. "Not for you. However…"

Variks's prosthetic hand scratches letters in the snow. It takes Namrask several blinks of his second eyes to understand that it is Human script: MITHRAX.

"I will make your name known to him." Variks wipes away the letters. "But this is not a favor." His metal hand touches the tattered blue banners around his waist. "In exchange, I want these redone in fresh bannercloth. I will send you the thread. You will weave for me, 'Namrask.'"

Namrask tries his best. But the bannerthread is too fine, the weave too dense, and he cannot complete his task before word comes that Variks has summoned the Guardians—the Machine-spawn—to Europa.

[17FDDD80][3EBE3DCC]Achilles Weaves a Cocoon
[17FDDD80][83B26FCD]A few members of his group return and find him half-frozen to the ice, his limbs flexing in delirium as he calls for Yriks. As they free him, a ship lifts in the distance, shimmering into stealth, and is gone. They are stranded.

"Why did you come back?" Namrask groans. "Imbeciles. You should have stayed with the others…escaped…"

"I had to give your loom back," the Vandal says. She drops it on his wounded chest. He bellows.

As days pass, the radio shrieks with distant transmissions. Encrypted tactical data between Servitors. Eramis's sermons. The song of the red world overhead. And occasionally, the bray of Human tongues, as a Guardian brags of a new conquest, or curses some obscene glory-trial amusement.

Phylaks is dead; Praksis too. 

The Priestess Kridis is dead—Sniksis and Piksis with her—and the Prime Servitor is destroyed.

Eramis is dead, consumed by her own power. One of the old Riis-born. Never will there be another.

Namrask knew it would end this way. He has seen this every time. His fallen people have learned defeat so well that now they defeat themselves. He rages and claws at the ice.

For his band of stranded survivors, he fashions shelters of watercloth: synthetic skin with thick bladders pumped full of ice to block some of the radiation. When his wound pains him, he numbs it on the ice. Turrha sees him but says nothing. He is grateful. 

"We must find a transmitter," he says. "We must call for Misraaks to return."

But survivors are still on Europa. They seek out Namrask, bringing their hatchlings but not much Ether. 

And if they can find Namrask, so can those who hunt them.
[17FDDD80][41FFDAE2]III: Bannercloth
[17FDDD80][A2F637E9]They are going to the Last City beneath the Great Machine.

"What are you afraid of?" Misraaks asks Namrask.

"Why are you NOT afraid?" Namrask demands. The young one bewilders him. "What life could we possibly have there? They will take their revenge on us. And wouldn't we deserve it?"

"Is there something I should know?" Misraaks asks dryly.

"No," Namrask snarls, rubbing his bare knees where they protrude from his shell. "Yes. I was—" He stops. "No. I cannot tell you, because then you would have to tell the Humans. And I will not make you lie."

"You do not want to be who you were before," Misraaks guesses. "Would you learn a new trade?"

"I would like to weave," Namrask says. "I am not good at it yet. But I might be."

"Weaving is a little like splicing," Misraaks says thoughtfully. "Splicers work in metal and flesh, not warp and weft. But the goal is the same: to nurture life with art, and nurture art with your life."

"I distrust Splicers," Namrask grunts and rubs his chest. What would a Splicer do to him? Fill him with machine cancer, to make him strong again? Give him the corrupted Ether, the undying madness?

Misraaks's primary eyes shine. "I am an older kind of Splicer. Those who look for the Light in all things. Maybe the right kind of Splicer can weave two peoples together. As the Awoken tried do, in the Reef."

"But the Light is NOT in all things. It has left us. Why look for the Light when you can see so clearly who it favors?"

"It was in us once," Misraaks reminds him. "It could be again."

Namrask remembers such a time, across a vast and blood-soaked distance.

"Riis…I was there, you know," Namrask whispers. "At the Whirlwind. After Chelchis fell, I sent ships to follow the Great Machine. I abandoned all those Houses that could not make war. I ordered my fleet to hunt the Machine. Many rallied after us. Each ship began its own war with the Humans. But maybe, I was first."

Misraaks stares at him. Finally, he says, "I understand. Our people fear the Saint too. But I doubt the Saint ever knew them by name."

***

Namrask settles in the area of the Last City that has been given to the Eliksni. By day, he shares a loom with others. By night, he whispers the names of those he has lost until he falls asleep.

He sleeps well until the day a Human shouts at him: "Baby eater!"

Namrask turns away. But he wants to shout back. About the closed air, closed life of a spacecraft. About the hatchlings who survived and the hard decisions about those who did not. He wished now they had been depraved enough to think of devouring Human young.

But he sees the young Eliksni, like Eido. He wants to wail at their promise, at their hope. Eido dislikes and avoids him, which is for the best.

Eventually, Namrask learns to weave for the Humans. His favorite task is making felt, but he also learns to work in silk. He likes the silkmaker, and runs it manually sometimes, pulling the thread from the spinneret with one hand and then another, maintaining the steady, even tension, which makes the best fabric.

He wishes that he could weave in Light, like the Guardian Warlocks, who make fieldweave in a secret way. Maybe Misraaks will learn how to do that.

One day, a machine comes to his market stall. He combs at his shell nervously. The machine-Humans are called "Exos." They remind him of the Vex; it is easier to look at their armored shapes than the unsettling softness of the Humans and two-souled Awoken. This Exo wears a colorful mantle.

"I recognize you," the machine says.

He quails. "Namrask sells fabrics," he croaks, pretending not to understand.

"Namrask." She laughs quietly. "I am old, empty weaver. Almost as old as you, I think. But unlike most of my kind, I remember London—and you."

He holds a bolt of fabric between them. She catches two of his hands: her machine flesh is warmer than his.

"Timelines are born from each moment—we live on one thread woven into a vast tapestry. But what has happened between us, on this thread, is fixed. You cannot run from it. You are a butcher. You and I are still at war," she rasps.

She releases his hands. He stares at her, breathing hard. Ether smokes from his mouth.

She playfully taps on all four of his hands. "I am named for an ancient goddess," she says, "with as many arms as you. In her hands are dharma, kama, artha, and moksha. Law, desire, meaning, and finally, liberation. Freedom from the war of death and rebirth. Are you freed by your rebirth as Namrask?"

He repeats, "Namrask sells fabrics."

"Maybe." There is laughter in her voice. "But I do not think moksha has granted you true rebirth."

"I have not forgotten what you did when you were Akileuks. And I never will," she says quietly.

He stole that name, like any other plunder, and used it. A Human hero's name, a great warrior and famous runner: Achilles, which means "woe to the enemy."
[18FDDD80][CA4C2104]IV. A Guiding Hand
[18FDDD80][A31C8108]V. Forward
[18FDDD80][97D21735]Ada-1 heard the chirp of a comm channel opening before a distorted voice spoke. "I've got eyes on entries and exits. Looks clear."

She stepped through a rusted doorway into a courtyard—the wind whistled through the torn seams of decrepit structures and raindrops crackled on loose metal plating. She walked through the muddy soil and stopped where the Bergusia Forge used to stand.

"Curses," Ada spat.

Her hands fidgeted as her gaze wandered aimlessly around the nearly barren landscape. Artemis-5 perched on a broken pillar, her scope methodically rotating through doorways and windows while her Ghost floated patiently overhead; the other two members of Ada's escort lounged against a broken wall to the rear, silently watching the Black Armorer. She looked back, studying their featureless helmet plates, then quickly turned away. Her foot clanked against something hard and metallic—she stooped down and picked up a forgotten slab of Black Armory alloy, a remnant of the lost forge.

Artemis kicked into the comms again. "That Forge tech? Any clues of what happened here?"

Ada sighed as she studied it. "Scorch cannon sears, wire rifle cuts, kinetic ricochet marks."

"Almost like there's been years of combat here," Artemis quipped sarcastically.

"How astute," Ada said dryly. "There's nothing more to glean here." She took a deep breath, a useless gesture in her Exo body but a compulsion nonetheless.

"Sun's fading, "Artemis said. "Devrim's got eyes on a Fallen raiding party. Not headed our way yet, but I'd rather not take chances. You have what you need?"

"Hardly," Ada said. "But we won't find much else—this area has been thoroughly scavenged, same as the others."

"Fallen?" Artemis asked.

"With no Guardians bothering to stop them? Could have been anyone."

Artemis winced. "I can only imagine how you must feel. The Vanguard had a tough call to make… planetary evacs came first."

"And now they're on to exciting new frontiers, while I'm left with nothing but rubbish," Ada said, her voice full of false cheerfulness.

Artemis leapt down from her vantage point and placed a hand on Ada's arm.

Ada's shoulders slumped. "I am glad for the evacuations. I shouldn't have—"

A howl echoed from somewhere in the complex. Artemis readied her rifle, and one of the escort squad entered the comm channel. "Pikes changed heading. We should get her out."

"Are you ready?" Artemis asked.

Ada studied the broken slab of metal in her hand, turning it over and tracing its jagged edges. "I'm not sure," she said, tightly clutching the piece of debris. "But what choice do I have?"
[18FDDD80][26938D44]Ada worked to keep pace with her Eliksni guide weaving through the dimly lit and angular maze of the Last City's Eliksni Quarter. The blur of open windows and doors provided brief glimpses into their new guests' lives: Strips of purple fabric filled wash basins. Jars of unknown food clinked against each other as they boiled in oversized pots while parents softly clacked their mandibles and watched their infants nestled in gently used blankets. In the distance, attendants surrounded a humming Servitor.

The guide entered a basement-level dwelling. Ada followed as they pushed through a rough cotton curtain and stood in a warm and humid room laden with myriad rugs and carpet swatches. The City's ambient glow slipped in through a singular small window while candles flickered in a pastiche of glass vessels. A series of futons had been arranged in a semi-circle in the middle of the room; there, a band of Eliksni lounged on and against the furniture, all listening to the words of a single speaker seated on the floor. The air filled with guttural clicks and low growls that Ada could make no sense of. She finally understood the performance to be over when the audience dispersed and her guide led her to sit beside the scribe.

"You're the one asking questions about Europa, are you not? About Salvation?" the scribe said.

Ada frowned. "You speak our language remarkably well."

"I had an unusual upbringing," the Eliksni replied. "I am Eido. What do you seek, Black Armorer?"

Ada sat on a futon, keeping a healthy distance from the Eliksni. "I'm searching for information from the BrayTech facilities on Europa."

"And you believe we have this?"

"I know some of your people defected from House Salvation. They may have seen something."

Eido nodded. "They have seen many things."

"One of my forebearers, a great weaponsmith, worked at the Bray facilities on Europa… but I only know a fraction of what she was doing there."

"Ah," Eido said. "Always about guns."

Ada frowned. "Your people are no strangers to weaponsmithing."

Eido inhaled. "True. And now, improbably, both our arsenals stand together in the shadow of the Great Machine."

"An alliance that makes it all the more logical for you to help me," Ada said.

Eido placed her claws together. "I will not help, because I cannot. No mentions have been made of anything related to your Armory founders."

Ada's gaze dropped to the floor.

Eido cocked her head and observed the Exo. "Such despair. Maybe this is about more than guns after all?"

Ada paused briefly. "I lost something. A part of me."

Eido nodded solemnly. "Your forges, yes?" 

"My whole existence was tied to the Armory. To those forges. Without them, I feel…"

"Without purpose?" Eido finished the thought.

Ada shook her head. "This isn't— I'm not sure you could understand."

Eido chuckled—a guttural grunt combined with clicking teeth. "Our history is littered with the banners of lost Houses. Most of us have worn more than one color, knelt before Kell after Kell, hoping that they would be the last." She leaned closer to Ada. "Eliksni understand the fluidity of purpose very well."

"Fluidity implies a continuation," Ada replied. She sighed heavily. "But it seems my path is coming to an end."

Clicks resonated in Eido's jaw. "Devils was a dead House, until Eramis made it new. Mithrax was Dusk, and now, he is Light. Paths only end when we stop walking."

Ada studied the Eliksni. "This is not the conversation I was expecting."

"If this settlement is going to work, it's probably best to break from old expectations," Eido said.

Ada nodded and looked at the light softly radiating through the window. "I've taken enough of your time. Thank you," she said and confidently extended her arm with sincere gratitude.

A clawed hand landed softly on her shoulder as the Eliksni instead thrust her datapad into Ada's outstretched hand. The befuddled Exo quickly parsed the screen.

"This is something we found in the Bray archives. It is not what you were looking for, but it may help you decide where to walk next," Eido said.

"I—I'll look into it, I suppose."

"Good," Eido replied as Ada stood and slid the datapad under her arm. She hesitated.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to give me this? How… how will it look to your allies—you helping me like this?"

Eido chittered. "It will look like unity."
[18FDDD80][32198596]The tale of Ada-1's journey to find new purpose in a dark time.
[18FDDD80][88D6F1A0]The hiss of Ada's welding torch echoed through the Armory hall, compounding into a sea of discordant noise until the seam was complete. She placed the tool down and grabbed the piece of alloy in her hand, testing the bond's strength. The actuators in her fingers whirred with effort, but as her focus shifted to the open tome on her desk, the metal promptly snapped. Ada let out an exasperated groan—two more pieces of detritus dropped on an already cluttered floor.

"Did you forget to measure twice?" a voice called out from behind. Ada whirled around as Hawthorne sauntered into the hall.

"Isn't that saying based on woodworking?" Ada asked flatly.

Hawthorne shrugged. "Don't have any welding jokes." She gingerly stepped over a tangle of cables. "Great work environment you've got; love the décor."

Ada turned to her tome with intense focus. "Can I help you with something?"

Hawthorne chuckled. "I was going to ask you that. Heard the cursing all the way up the stairwell."

"Can you interpret Armory schematics and machine the parts needed to assemble them?" Ada answered, without looking up.

"Unlikely," Hawthorne said.

"Can you convince Zavala to stop asking me when a forge will be operational again?"

Hawthorne puffed her cheeks and exhaled. "Even less likely."

Ada quickly flipped a page of the tome. The paper snapped, nearly tearing. "Sounds like the answer to your question is no."

"Is that why you're doing this? Vanguard orders?"

Ada jabbed a thumb at her own chest. "The Forges were—ARE—my legacy.  It's my responsibility to continue their operation. Zavala's desires are tangential."

Hawthorne stepped closer to Ada's workstation. "Help me out here. I'm not super familiar with your illustrious organization's history—was the Armory born of a dream to have the world's greatest gun oven?"

Ada sighed. "The Armory was founded to stand against the Darkness, to shield humanity when we couldn't count on others to do so. The forges were simply the tools we used."

"So much for that grand plan. The Pyramids rolled in, and last I checked, Mars is still missing. Titan. Mercury."

"Did you come down here solely to antagonize me?" Ada snipped.

"All right, all right…" Hawthorne pleaded.  "Look, I know we aren't friends or anything. I'm not sure you have any of those anyway—"

Ada glowered.

"Right, sorry," Hawthorne said quickly. "The thing is, people around here talk a big game about putting humanity first, but then it's all Guardians, all the time."

Ada nodded. "The devotion to Lightbearers can seem fanatical."

"But you're not like that, Ada."

Ada shook her head. "I appreciate the sentiment, Suraya, but I'm not sure how that relates to the forges."

Hawthorne leaned on Ada's desk. "I think your voice is important to have around here. I want you to succeed. But you might be holding on to the past too tightly."

Ada scoffed. "You presume to tell me how to carry the Armory's legacy?"

Hawthorne gestured to the forge memorabilia strewn about the hall. "Not at all. But your founders didn't wake up one day with forges on the brain. They started with a problem, then designed a solution as only they could."

Ada turned, her eyes thoughtful. "And you're suggesting I'm starting with a solution instead? Limiting my view?"

"I'm saying I would understand if it was hard to let go of all of this when it's all you've ever known."

Ada nodded. "The idea of leaving the forges behind is admittedly unnerving."

"I get it," Hawthorne said. "But the old methods aren't working. Maybe it's time to carry on your founders' legacy in your own way."

Ada was silent for a moment. "I should get back to work. Thank you for your advice." She jutted her arm out in a stiff handshake gesture.

Hawthorne chuckled and clasped her hand around Ada's. "Good luck. But maybe try to keep the noise down, okay? It bothers my bird."
[18FDDD80][2DCF7DAE]Ada-1 tapped her foot impatiently while standing in the Cryptarium. "So, can you do it?"

Rahool looked up lazily from his datapad and scowled. "What a ridiculous question. Of course I can.  It's a question of when I'll have the time."

Ada's head tilted down. "I didn't realize we were indulging in semantics."

Rahool's response was arid as he tapped away on the device. "There is no greater pleasure."

"Very well. When do you think you will have the time?"

"Hmm…" Rahool placed a hand on his chin. "The influx of data from Europa is significant, on top of the routine Guardian armament support. Not to mention the open-ended nature of your query…"

The Cryptarch's eyes flitted as he thought through the problem.

"A conservative guess would be two to three weeks."

Ada groaned. "That's absurd. I can't sit around for that long."

"You misunderstand," Rahool replied. "I make no statements regarding what you should do with your time."

Ada gripped the Cryptarch's desk. "Fine, can I search for it myself?"

Rahool shook his head. "Access to the classified archives is limited to sanctioned Guardians, Tower support staff, or the Vanguard themselves. You are none of those things."

Ada scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous, I've seen that Drifter perusing this data on a weekly basis for his own amusement."

"That's not— there's no way—" Rahool stammered and blushed. "I assure you, no such breach has occurred."

Ada folded her arms as Rahool continued. "And even if it had, one crime doesn't excuse another."

Ada leaned forward assertively. "I guess you will be of no help then."

Rahool shrugged. "Not for two to three weeks, at the very least."

Ada grunted and stormed off through the Cryptarium's towering doors, their colorful display of cullet glass shining on her shoulders, when she heard Rahool loudly call out after her.

"What were the names again that you were querying against?" Rahool asked.

"Henriette Meyrin, Yuki Satou, and Helga Rasmussen."

Rahool's eyebrows lifted at the final name. "You may be in luck. It seems our interests have overlapped."

[18FDDD80][0F7995C0]I. A Path's End
[18FDDD80][3EBE3DCC]Pathfinding
[18FDDD80][83B26FCD]Louis was the first to notice Ada. The bird's head darted in her direction as it shuffled on its post. Hawthorne turned, a brief look of surprise on her face before she grinned.

"If it isn't the reclusive armorer," Hawthorne said. "I was just thinking about checking on you."

Ada reached the top of the stairs and marveled at the expanse of the Last City stretching from Hawthorne's vantage point.

"Oh? Was I making too much noise again?"

Hawthorne shook her head. "The opposite; way too quiet down there."

Ada chuckled. "Things have been going more smoothly as of late."

"Glad to hear it," Hawthorne said and nodded. She removed a morsel of meat from the pouch at her waist and tossed towards Louis, who gobbled it voraciously. "So what was the answer?"

"Centuries-old research on matter programming, left behind by a megalomaniac," Ada said.

Hawthorne whistled. "Sounds like a trip."

"It has been. I feel quite changed by this experience," Ada said, a slight lilt to her voice.

"Change can be good."

Ada watched engine flares weave through the City's expanse. "There was one thing from our last conversation that stuck with me."

Hawthorne raised an eyebrow.

"Only one? That's definitely disappointing."

"You said you weren't sure if I had any friends," Ada continued.

"Ada, I didn't mean to—"

"If I'm being honest, social connection has never been my strong suit."

"I know that it can be scary to put yourself out there. Especially with everything you've been through," Hawthorne said softly.

Ada considered her words. "It can be. But I'm finding this new journey to be a little less daunting, when I'm willing to walk it with others."

"Sounds like a pretty good lesson," Hawthorne said with a smirk.

Ada let her gaze wander over the constellation of architecture gleaming in the Last City; the meandering grid of roadways and the rolling landscape beyond. She breathed in deeply, letting the air fill her chassis.

"I should probably get back down there. I have a lot of work ahead of me," Ada said, clearing her throat.

Hawthorne clasped a hand on Ada's shoulder, startling the Exo. "Don't be a stranger, Ada. You come up from your cave more often, you might find you have more friends than you think."

[4422A580][816AF802]My Hidden report that Mithrax was last seen on Europa, helping Variks evacuate Eliksni defectors.  
[4422A580][CDFC4003]Mithrax is wrapped up in some dangerous business.
[4422A580][83275E05]Yes. With the core you hold, the secrets of the Vex reveal themselves to us. 
[4422A580][2870A008]Hmm. Another power works against me, pushing back. This is troubling. 
[4422A580][FC70E211]Both the Vex and Eramis's loyalists are down there hunting for survivors, shooting anything that moves. 
[4422A580][F86FBE1C]The Eliksni cleared out before the Vex showed up. See if you can learn where they're headed.
[4422A580][2F34CC27]You must flee! Now! Do not fall in that Lightless place!
[4422A580][8C16652E]It's been a long time, Guardian.
[4422A580][9AF49D2E]Eyes up. Move.
[4422A580][40D5BB34]Destroy it, and to them, it will be as though we were never here.
[4422A580][57801736]That heat signature—flames. Someone brought down the Skiff.
[4422A580][92168238]If this Guardian could assist me in blinding the Vex here, we can speak without risking more bloodshed.
[4422A580][A4EB1D40]Vex signals are dissipating from your region. They're leaving.

[4422A580][B8189D45]Empty.
[4422A580][C8F70146]Did you send them into a Vex simulation?
[4422A580][CD670658]They move now between the real and machine-spun. 
[4422A580][CB34D859]Many enemies pursue my House of Light. We did not wish to be found.
[4422A580][4244FC5A]I will clear the way.
[4422A580][83799560]Be sure to shoot back. We need Mithrax alive if he's to help us with our Vex problem.
[4422A580][53083461]Mithrax must have led a few survivors out, but they're completely exposed.
[4422A580][D3C3CC66]Mithrax-kell, it is an honor. We have been searching for you for some time.
[4422A580][7823746C]A single Skiff recently touched down near your position. It's got to be Mithrax. Hurry, Guardian. Before he takes off. 
[4422A580][B415276E]Guardian, I find you in the Light. And on your signal… Ikora Rey?
[4422A580][FF14B571]It could be Eliksni bound for House Light… or it could be more of Eramis's loyalists.
[4422A580][B009BB7A]You are farther than I have ever been… find the Vex curator. Destroy it and claim the living code woven through its core. 
[4422A580][7AAD747B]You move freely through space none but our most skilled Splicers can even perceive. The Light shines strong within you.
[4422A580][76C83D7D]There are bodies in the snow… nothing can be done for them now.
[4422A580][D55F5B80]The Vex hunted my people across the ice. I will lead you to the knowledge they gained during their pursuit.
[4422A580][D4204483]I will be landing a Skiff near Asterion Abyss. 
[4422A580][B1189083]Quick now. Secure the crash site and assist the survivors… if there are any.
[4422A580][0CEA4F85]Bring only what you need. We must prioritize survivors over their possessions. Trigger message repeat.
[4422A580][5D41C988]Then we accept, with Light in our hearts. We will join you in your City… beneath the Traveler.
[4422A580][C7A70D90]—over their possessions. 
[4422A580][669D0296]The Vex took down the ship and ambushed the Eliksni defectors.
[4422A580][479F709B]Then times are desperate for us both. The Vanguard seeks your assistance.
[4422A580][D72FF09D]I have opened the door for you, Guardian. Will you walk the path of the Sacred Splicer?
[4422A580][A33F52A1]You're closing in on some residual signals. 
[4422A580][0F80F1A4]Ikorakel, can you offer the Eliksni such a thing?
[4422A580][A90578AA]To study such an artifact would benefit us both... but there is no time. My people must move on if we hope to survive. 
[4422A580][FE0343AE]This is Misraaks. To those who renounce the violence of House Salvation and seek refuge in the House of Light…
[4422A580][09F807B0]This is known. You are not the only one with hidden eyes. 
[4422A580][BD0852B1]Come. Shelter in our city—you and your people. 
[4422A580][78A248B2]You're close… and I'm picking up unusual energy spikes ahead. Be ready for anything.
[4422A580][BE4AE8B3]Mithrax… I saw those who wished to join you dead in the snow. Let them be the last to fall. 
[4422A580][DF863FB4]The system is collapsing! Hold strong, I will create another exit!
[4422A580][35AB09BB]Hold fast, Guardian. I will alter the fabric of this Vex system to aid you.
[4422A580][093666C7]The path before them is no illusion. The Guardian ventures through the Vex domain itself, where the machines guard their most precious secrets.
[4422A580][2FD440D5]They must concentrate. The Guardian is vulnerable in that space… but so too are the Vex. 
[4422A580][E1FC3BD8]They move where?
[4422A580][EAAD56DC]Blinding the Vex… My Guardian will do whatever you need.
[4422A580][607F5BDD]Asterion Abyss. That's their rendezvous point. 
[4422A580][FEB68CE3]It's a bad time to ask for a favor, but he and his House of Light still worship the Traveler.
[4422A580][529860EE]I am aware. Vex systems pulse with talk of the City's Endless Night… but my people demand much protection.
[4422A580][C16663F2]Clear the Vex and introduce yourself to the survivors. Make it known you're not a threat… unless you need to be.
[4422A580][D32F8CF2]There's strange interference on your signal, Guardian. What's your status?
[4422A580][AB2962FF]I just did. You'll be under the Vanguard's protection. The Vex are the enemy here, and any Lightbearer who disagrees can take it up with me.
[4522A580][8324C90A]I will clear the way.

[4522A580][AD1126EE]It's been a long time, Guardian.
[6922A580][73E5B600]When Eliksni are hunted, survival becomes a crime. House of Light wishes only peace.
[6922A580][A0DA7902]Is it wrong to mistrust those who have hunted, raided, and murdered us for centuries? I think not.
[6922A580][E8F5B203]Complete the final unlock sequence to manifest the vortex!
[6922A580][4D8CB703]Mithrax and I agree on little, except this: destroy these Vex, harvest their datas, and crush their network!
[6922A580][F9F2D203]Be vigilant. I should have felt the Witch Queen's presence in the network, but I did not. Her spies could be anywhere.
[6922A580][2D9AD603]The Vex disconnect the terminal. But they must retake it to end the incursion. Do not allow it.
[6922A580][FA129504]Eliksni do not have lives to spare. We use wits to survive.
[6922A580][17FF6306]You're wearing them down, Guardian. Their metal is no match for your Light!
[6922A580][60106B06]It isn't as simple as giving them permission. Zavala expressly forbade it, and yet…
[6922A580][90131007]Such as?
[6922A580][68714207]The Vex won't give up so easily. They're recalibrating their defenses. Be ready for anything.
[6922A580][F04FBF07]Now you see the Subjugated Mind—keeper of this domain. Destroy it to secure the data!
[6922A580][3E558308]Remember, Guardian: just because a Fallen helped us access this network, that doesn't make them our allies.
[6922A580][40E02E0C]The network attempts to reencrypt. Disrupt the passcode sequence and continue the splice.
[6922A580][B9562D0D]Tell me, Mithrax-kell, how many Humans have died in your hands? Dozens? Hundreds?
[6922A580][7DD7910D]How?
[6922A580][04CEA00E]This Splicer tech must work because the Vex are converging to shut it down!
[6922A580][4C71A50E]The Subjugated Minds that control this domain are but pawns in Savathûn's larger game. But be careful: even pawns can kill the queen.
[6922A580][20585A0F]Nothing can save these machines from your Light. Destroy them!
[6922A580][86496C0F]The network repairs like a body healing a cut. Disrupt the passcode to keep the splice alive. 
[6922A580][3FA05310]You see what became of Eramis. But Misraaks also sees Guardians using the Darkness to defend Eliksni.
[6922A580][7BE14113]Even those with gifted foresight can stumble into… unforeseen consequences.
[6922A580][9B274114]This victory is not without cost. How do you think the people of the Last City feel, hearing you praise their enemies?
[6922A580][E741AE15]This mission has been a success, due in no small part to Mithrax. But never forget that he is the exception, not the rule.
[6922A580][4A7CC416]I don't know about the Vex network, but I know an attack coming when I see one! Hold your ground!
[6922A580][A68ED916]Still plotting, are we?
[6922A580][185F0B17]The network entrance is vulnerable! Feed data into the terminal to overload the Vex defenses.
[6922A580][DEAB1717]Splicing is more exciting than I thought! It uses a delightful number of grenades!
[6922A580][69F69918]If we could collapse everything they've built across time…
[6922A580][167C4D19]With the Witch Queen in hiding, now is not the time to trust new acquaintances. 
[6922A580][A7C19119]This must be the Subjugated Mind! Crush these poor machines so we can leave this hideous place!
[6922A580][B775BD19]Quria's presence in the network proves that Savathûn's plan is deeper than we imagined. Her endgame is inconceivable, even to the Vex.
[6922A580][8ECBA61A]The future of the City stretches out before me! Every incursion sharpens my visions. Keep pressing, Guardian!
[6922A580][EC3C231C]Has Saint-14 spoken to you yet, Mithrax?
[6922A580][AC7AFD1C]Do not trust Misraaks. Trust the Great Machine. Its power flows through the Guardian. 
[6922A580][85E3131D]Judging by the Vex response, your fancy Splicer glove is working! Keep at it!
[6922A580][1EFF381E]The Vex network makes me wonder: if we can't tell the difference between reality and simulation, how do I know what's real? Oh, it hurts my head.
[6922A580][7385CF1E]I'm happy to see this partnership working out, Guardian. It looks like the House of Light is pulling its weight.
[6922A580][B774481F]Before Mithrax, the Vex network was a mystery. Now it's another hunting ground! Breach and destroy, Guardian!
[6922A580][1652571F]I learned from the best.
[6922A580][FD8A7D21]Another network collapsed. I'll begin analysis of the data we recovered.
[6922A580][727F7D22]I look at humanity and I see a river. Ever flowing, ever changing. You have the power to both destroy and create. 
[6922A580][54509B22]Guardian—you're realizing a dream that stretches back to Dr. Maya Sundaresh, founder of the Future War Cult. A truly amazing accomplishment.
[6922A580][D72E0823]Your story about Saint—the way the Eliksni children tell it, especially—it's deeply affected him.
[6922A580][94853024]Primitive Human astronomy. 
[6922A580][C1429424]How better to understand your enemies, than to learn to think like them?
[6922A580][AF86E324]The Vex network opens before you! Beware: the path to its center has many countermeasures. Pacify them to reach your goal.
[6922A580][95A42B25]With Mithrax's help, the Vex network is open to you. They cannot stand against us, even on their own territory!
[6922A580][54F64525]Not with weapons or words, but with silence.
[6922A580][DAF7F925]Mithrax says the vortex is almost ready. I don't know what that means, but the Vex want to stop you, so it must be good!
[6922A580][349A2126]Well played, Guardian! With Mithrax's Gauntlet, the Vex cannot stand against you. 
[6922A580][AD460527]Save your doubt for the Witch Queen. It is one of her only weaknesses. 
[6922A580][738E4127]Before the Great Machine, Eliksni were hounded by Skira, the Watcher. A shapechanger, manipulator.
[6922A580][7CA63D28]Mithrax has located a back door to the Vex domain. Get your foot in that door, and secure the data!
[6922A580][79A11829]You almost sound like you admire her.
[6922A580][B30CFF2A]The path to the Vex net is revealed. Into the vortex!
[6922A580][E8E0C72C]The Vex network is revealed in layers. Override the passcode to gain deeper access.
[6922A580][06513C2D]The Light provides. The Guardian does the rest.
[6922A580][CADF2D2E]Leading with fear and mistrust. Eramis tried this on Europa. It was her unmaking. 
[6922A580][C484192F]No. They are yours.
[6922A580][1409312F]Those who hunger for violence will find it. It is a circle that eats itself.
[6922A580][6C7A7F2F]Good. I hope this is a start to finding common ground. A road to peace.
[6922A580][BF2B9730]This is not the first time I have viewed humanity up close. As you say, "warts and all."
[6922A580][5030B431]The network bends to your will. It cannot resist for much longer. 
[6922A580][B4D61832]You are beyond our reach now, Guardian. Stay alert to any trick or traps! This may yet be a ploy by the Fallen.
[6922A580][52259A32]Crush their last defense to complete the splice. We have other networks to collapse.
[6922A580][949A1733]Quria's presence proves that we can't trust anyone. Not even our own Vanguard. And especially not the Fallen invaders!
[6922A580][197D1833]The Guardian's incursion was necessary, but I am sorry to see so many Vex destroyed.
[6922A580][87213C33]Use the Light while you can, Guardian. It will not shine on you forever.
[6922A580][11247936]If Savathûn has infiltrated the Vex domain, she'll have calculated the potential futures that align with her goals. What those are, is anyone's guess.
[6922A580][5CD38436]Best not linger here, Guardian. The interior of the Vex network can be disorienting. Stouter minds than ours have been driven to madness.
[6922A580][E32D3637]Only Splicer skills and Guardian Light could breach the Vex network. The House of Light honors you.
[6922A580][41865639]The Fallen are strange. They are advanced enough to Splice the Vex network, but their ships still look like heaps of garbage!
[6922A580][41D49139]So said many Eliksni before the Whirlwind.
[6922A580][30D9B13A]I have a daughter. She is very wise for her age… hm, sometimes too much. I fight for her.
[6922A580][A186B83B]And some warriors, like Saladin-Commander, do not find joy in this. He finds no victory in peace.
[6922A580][06D40F3D]Does that erase a history of violence?
[6922A580][5178583D]Do not forget your Splicer training. Allow the Light to guide you, and the Vex network will bend to your will.
[6922A580][8D11A23E]Yes, it would seem the Witch Queen was rather careful in her manipulations… to fool the Vex.
[6922A580][5336FB3E]Now, imagine more hands. All joined against a common enemy.
[6922A580][DF65743F]Now that the true mastermind of the Endless Night is revealed, the data you pull from the Vex network is more crucial than ever!
[6922A580][EF85CD3F]Vex forces rally! If they regain the terminal, our incursion will fail. Repel their assault.
[6922A580][9A42F241]The information you glean here could be the key to victory over the Vex—and the Fallen. Humanity is behind you.
[6922A580][BC46AE42]Eliksni showing us new ways to combat the Vex. I could never have imagined!
[6922A580][5937FE42]Hm, a new layer of security. Escalate access by overriding the passcode.
[6922A580][F8AB4C45]We're starting to see so much of ourselves in each other, aren't we?
[6922A580][50147045]After all this time, our key into the Vex network is a Fallen traitor. Not even I could have predicted that.
[6922A580][49985E46]Mithrax's machine glove is a powerful weapon. 
[6922A580][BD11C846]I am joyful of our victory! Though it is difficult to watch Guardians deal violence with the Light, as many Eliksni have seen before.
[6922A580][BC8DB847]The Vex domain still operates on rules like gravity and continuous flow of time. For all their advancements, the Vex still lack imagination.
[6922A580][8B77AC48]The vortex resists manifestation. A final surge of data will force it into being.
[6922A580][5020C848]That is… uncommon focus.
[6922A580][331BDD49]When I predicted the Red War, everyone laughed. Now I predict that Vex technology is the key to our salvation, and I hear no laughter.
[6922A580][E6E2E24A]I was wrong to doubt you, Mithrax. We could not have succeeded without your help.
[6922A580][96B0AE4B]As the threats against humanity escalate, so too must our defensive capabilities. 
[6922A580][BA9A024C]Continue your work, Guardian. Every breach of the Vex network enhances my ability to foresee potential threats. 
[6922A580][C9DB054D]The Vex have a more robust view of time than Humans. They'll have seen this coming. Be careful, Guardian.
[6922A580][2A92A94D]This place reminds me too much of the Infinite Forest. I'd prefer to forget my time there…
[6922A580][9B97494E]It's true. I've seen the Fallen do this and more. But… many things were different back then. 
[6922A580][6CFA074F]Were it only that simple, Mithrax.
[6922A580][E2915B50]Hopefully we can end this threat before Lakshmi whips the City into a violent frenzy. The latest reports…
[6922A580][C3C07751]The vortex gathers energy, moving from potential to material. Your splice nears completion. 
[6922A580][D5D37851]The Eliksni have much to give in service of the Great Machine.
[6922A580][14B4A051]The Vex think they can outsmart you. Crush their simple passcode!
[6922A580][2C152853]Ikorakel, how is it you have allowed your Guardians to wield the Darkness?
[6922A580][71A34953]This network looks solid. But it's actually a… simulated super-position. Mithrax taught me that not everything is like it seems.
[6922A580][118F7D53]You are right to question sincerity. I have killed many Humans. Even some Guardians. And reveled in violence.
[6922A580][B7F27854]To your credit, Mithrax. I was wrong to doubt you.
[6922A580][B2E69E54]It's frightening that Savathûn was strong enough to make pawns of the Vex. One wonders how else she might infiltrate our ranks…
[6922A580][47806555]So will they.
[6922A580][8AC98855]Your shipwright, Miss Holliday, for instance. Do you think she'll forgive as easily as you?
[6922A580][CE234057]You were always trying to look ten steps ahead. I suppose that's why you and the Speaker used to butt heads.
[6922A580][DC7D3F58]It's strange to hear sympathy from such an accomplished warrior.
[6922A580][1DC11D59]Shouldn't I? We could learn much from studying Savathûn's manipulations; see a larger picture.
[6922A580][B558FB59]We need one more batch of data. Then you can jump into the Vex brain-space!
[6922A580][37B34C5A]The Guardian learns to splice into the Vex mind. Learns to make data a weapon. 
[6922A580][61AE4E5A]Outstanding. Seeing the Vex networks collapse like this makes me wonder if we could apply these tactics on a larger scale. 
[6922A580][F318DA5A]You're right, Splicer. The Light is the key to victory.
[6922A580][B2ED0C5B]So said Eramis. Misraaks will help, as long as help is wanted.
[6922A580][DCB4995B]The Saint speaks the truth. All hail the Great Machine.
[6922A580][C5BBA65B]The Vex are trying to lock you out. Show them that Guardians are not so easily outwitted!
[6922A580][FDAEF95B]You did well, but never forget: you're a Guardian first. Your power is a gift from the Traveler. Not the Fallen.
[6922A580][6271855C]I admire the Vex greatly. This network is a testament to their power. That said, I would still never invite them into our city.
[6922A580][2B07195D]Nothing is ever as simple as it seems on the surface.
[6922A580][1102715D]This must be the vortex. Enter before it closes!
[6922A580][A4E7E85D]Many Humans and their kin are eager to…  shed the weight of their responsibility through revelry.
[6922A580][B6DF0F5F]In the end, humanity can rely only on itself.
[6922A580][C93C955F]Now you see how data flows through the world, just as Light.
[6922A580][E244E060]But I hope now that our violent past will create a future peace. If not, the Darkness triumphs already.
[6922A580][4BEBED60]The Vex network is a sprawling digital metaconsciousness. And like a Human mind, it can be manipulated.
[6922A580][AB005E61]Thus, creating a shadow. 
[6922A580][7B976F61]Your Guardians are efficient at death-making.
[6922A580][39F10262]Those who wield the Darkness are no doubt more susceptible to her machinations.
[6922A580][DF136862]Your combat is impressive, Guardian. The Light favors you.
[6922A580][66F65163]I can practically hear the Vex gears grinding. They cannot stop you. But they will still try.
[6922A580][BDE63964]Perhaps, but we do need all the help we can get. 
[6922A580][F9D61F65]Guardians fighting alongside Eliksni to break Savathûn's hold over the Vex. It's getting hard to keep track of whose side we're on!
[6922A580][1E884766]Defenses crushed. Structure collapsed. Now, we look ahead to the next task.
[6922A580][A6734E66]The way of the Splicer grows within you, Guardian. Spread your Light throughout the Vex network.
[6922A580][74AF7467]Eliksni have feared Guardian ferocity for centuries. Turn your fury on the Vex!
[6922A580][35106868]To cauterize all contact with the Darkness, lest you risk infestation.
[6922A580][6E309069]But those Eliksni were not of House Light. We cannot change what they did. We can only promise to be better.
[6922A580][1C679A6A]The Fallen may help us gain access to the Vex network, but that doesn't make them our allies. You're a Human first, Guardian. Never forget it.
[6922A580][9428C66A]The Gauntlet is a tool only. The Guardian does the work.  
[6922A580][5ECFD46A]Your fancy Splicer glove worked, but next time, let's use explosives.
[6922A580][7FC6DD6A]Mithrax—the Guardian moves through the Vex network with ease. This is your doing. We owe you our thanks. 
[6922A580][D3FF356C]To what end, Osiris?
[6922A580][99A5706C]You're like Osiris. You make me feel like crazy one. 
[6922A580][2418E96C]I never thought Savathûn was strong enough to corrupt the Vex. We must shut down the network to limit her reach.
[6922A580][8DF6F56C]Enjoy your victory, but remain vigilant. The Vex are but a part of Savathûn's final plan.
[6922A580][7D276E6D]Your attack has been noticed. The Vex already reencrypt their network.
[6922A580][B6BFAD6D]They would observe a distant star through a telescope; wait for a planet to cross in front of its position.
[6922A580][8EB1E16D]Countermeasures incoming. Turn them back to scrap!
[6922A580][81CAF66D]You have manipulated Vex data as you would the Light. This is the power of the Sacred Splicer.
[6922A580][41AA196E]These Splicer techniques are beginning to pay off. Keep hammering at the Vex network until it collapses!
[6922A580][390DE070]The Guardian must make more incursions on the Vex network. I can guide, but cannot follow.
[6922A580][3B7D2971]After many centuries, the Fallen are still full of surprises.
[6922A580][BCB2FF75]The data you recover here will be invaluable to the Future War Cult. But not even Lakshmi can foresee the consequences of such a boon. 
[6922A580][1DB38278]You would join hands with Savathûn?
[6922A580][967B9278]Manipulation. Infiltration. These are the only skills the Fallen have to share. No wonder so many are criminals.
[6922A580][1F63C878]The Fallen are faithless. The Traveler will never abandon us. 
[6922A580][C3D10D79]We are making progress against the Vex. But be careful—Savathûn will be watching. 
[6922A580][9E7A3479]She best not watch me! I will spot her like Suraya's bird!
[6922A580][8207717A]The Endless Night gives cover to our enemies. You must breach the Vex network and find out what's behind it.
[6922A580][B543087C]The situation in the Last City is at a breaking point. The data we recover here could prove the key to solving the problem, once and for all.
[6922A580][77F7BD7C]I suspect she's been watching for quite some time.
[6922A580][3C9C147D]What is this phrase?
[6922A580][86E4A97D]I can feel the Vex mind stirring. It is aware of your presence. Prepare for its violence.
[6922A580][D411BD7E]The Endless Night was Savathûn's work all along. I can't believe we missed it.
[6922A580][3726DD7E]The Vex know you've hacked them. They're on their way to… anti-hack you. Defend the terminal!
[6922A580][11FE4581]I do not see Guardians as the enemy. We are all children of the Great Machine. Of the Light.
[6922A580][F5CE9681]The Vex are not a destructive rabble, like the Fallen. They have much to teach. I'm here to guarantee that we learn what we can.
[6922A580][7CAEA981]The Witch Queen is dangerous, but she is no match for the Great Machine. 
[6922A580][2F2FEC81]The Splicer Gauntlet is not only a weapon. It is a tool for reforming reality. 
[6922A580][C2416A82]I'm sure the Guardian could have achieved their aim without help from the Fallen.
[6922A580][88DF0C83]Following a Fallen into battle makes my trigger finger itch. Watch your back, Guardian.
[6922A580][3EB2A184]Yes. House Light and humanity, hands joined, become a wall of pikes. 
[6922A580][DA999B85]The Great Machine blesses all in different ways.
[6922A580][753DC285]The Witch Queen threatens all. Together is the only way forward.
[6922A580][22D11286]Mithrax? I was wondering, where do you see this alliance going now that you've had time to experience more of humanity?
[6922A580][43802888]With access to this network, I can finally unlock technology that's mystified us for centuries. 
[6922A580][F5034F88]You worship the Traveler, but condone the use of Darkness? How very convenient.
[6922A580][1DDE8E88]Crack open the Vex and bring back their datas! Do not worry yourself over the bodies. They feel no pain. 
[6922A580][61520D89]Within the Vex network lies the secret to their portal technology. We could do great things with such power.
[6922A580][06550F89]The Saint finds use for Eliksni. Hmm. These are dark days indeed.
[6922A580][B1EB5789]The data you're recovering from these missions is already yielding results. We hope to stabilize our first portal soon.
[6922A580][892AA88A]Mithrax has located many data caches. Like fuel for your Splicer hand!
[6922A580][8795EA8D]This vortex could lead anywhere. Be careful, Guardian.
[6922A580][B37D6D91]No. But… similar. A demon of our past, defeated.
[6922A580][23977793]Are those your words? Or is that Eramis I hear?
[6922A580][5246E493]Spying on the people of the Last City? Look at you, acting as the devil you know.
[6922A580][31E45795]Data did not slay the Vex. Data did not save you on Europa. Guardians do these things.
[6922A580][0BDCFF95]Bah. Talking to Vex is boring. Better to destroy them! 
[6922A580][7D842196]What is your opinion, then? Of us. Of humanity?
[6922A580][DD99DF99]You call Spider thief, but your future-power was stolen from the Vex! Spider is criminal, but he is no hypocrite.
[6922A580][9DED459C]The Vex network becomes more fragile with each incursion. 
[6922A580][1EC3049F]More Eliksni Houses?
[6922A580][E2CA4DA0]The Vex security cycles. Each circuit grows more desperate. 
[6922A580][46A1A6A3]Just because you can't see the shears, Osiris, doesn't mean I'm not pruning dead  branches.
[6922A580][AA5127A4]Yes. You often destroy what you do not understand. The Eliksni have seen this.
[6922A580][7D3065A4]The Vex network rebuilds in infinite branches. Enter and let your Light halt its advance.
[6922A580][EC8B62A5]To what end, Osiris?
[6922A580][D437A6A5]We do what is needed in order to survive.
[6922A580][6C9590A6]Mithrax's Splicer glove is impressive, I admit. But if Guardian had four arms, we could do the same thing in half the time!
[6922A580][869247A7]These missions have reminded me who our true enemies are. Collapse the Vex network and limit the Witch Queen's influence!
[6922A580][2C5712A9]Ah, yes. Well, forewarned is forearmed. But I don't need to tell you that, do I?
[6922A580][55DF41A9]Vex defenses have been reset. But like circuits, they can be overloaded. Continue the assault!
[6922A580][07829DA9]A change in one branch of the Vex domain cascades into infinite others. 
[6922A580][E444B8A9]No, no. Fireteam is fireteam. Family is family. Very important to Eliksni. Large. "Ketch is Kin," [chuckles] as we say. 
[6922A580][2F8724AA]Guardian, we must splice an entrance to the Vex network. I can guide you, but I cannot follow.
[6922A580][75BB4FAA]Some of us bear that weight longer than others. If we're strong enough.
[6922A580][4078F5AA]Peace is too strong a word. We made a mutual decision to turn our attention elsewhere. 
[6922A580][0262F8AD]Now that we know Savathûn is behind the attack on the City, our missions are even more important.
[6922A580][22386BAF]You learn quickly, Guardian. Splicing Vex code is like discovering new language.
[6922A580][7F1A99AF]Destroyed Vex yield a ripe source of data! Feed it into the terminal to crash the system.
[6922A580][3F8722B1]Imagine what we could do with Vex portal technology.
[6922A580][7895F8B2]That is a… very serene way of seeing the world. Thank you for sharing it with me.
[6922A580][7BD73CB3]The Guardian learns to channel Vex data. This is the way of the Sacred Splicer.
[6922A580][3E1059B3]Eliksni. Cabal. Hive, too, perhaps. Imagine what we could all do, if we simply understood.
[6922A580][E13768B4]It's just a shame you failed to heed more conventional wisdom.
[6922A580][8BC02FB6]They're trying to fix their broken code. Deal with the Vex, but keep one eye on the terminal.
[6922A580][19CCA9B6]The Vex network is potential reality. Mathematical superposition verging on existence.
[6922A580][DA3394B7]Sending others into danger from a position of safety. This is Fallen leadership.
[6922A580][974E4BBB]Great Houses destroyed. Made refugees in a foreign land. Nothing is "convenient" for Eliksni.
[6922A580][05F590BB]Subtlety flies out windows once shooting starts. 
[6922A580][93A79EBC]Stellar work, Guardian. You and Mithrax make a good team.
[6922A580][7BA7A0BC]Save your false holiness for Ikora! Guardians did not go to Riis to attack Fallen. Fallen came to Earth to attack us! 
[6922A580][EC37E6BC]Another Vex node collapsed. Excellent. How does it feel, Mithrax? Working hand in hand with the enemy?
[6922A580][76135FBD]A Sacred Splicer must feel the Vex, as you feel the Light. I sense a hidden doorway nearby. Enter and secure the data.
[6922A580][FB9B86BD]Vex are inbound on your position. Hold your ground and guard the connection.
[6922A580][C68F85BE]Guardians continue to use the Darkness. Some without issue, others… There have been incidents.
[6922A580][36090EBF]I can't believe that Light had the power to unlock the Vex network. It took an Eliksni to teach us this. Incredible.
[6922A580][47B7B2BF]Ikorakel. Do you have… family?
[6922A580][251970C0]This is the most secure network in existence. Yet Savathûn infiltrated it with ease. We must act quickly, or the Last City will be next.
[6922A580][97526FC1]I can help you exploit an entrance into the Vex network. Once inside, you must find your own way.
[6922A580][4AF36BC2]Prepare for another assault. The Vex will endure as many casualties as necessary to keep the vortex closed.
[6922A580][FB5775C3]Ikorakel. I understand Eliksni are not the only species you work alongside. You found peace with Caiatl of the Cabal, yes?
[6922A580][999B79C3]It allowed astronomers to infer a cosmic truth without being able to perceive it directly.
[6922A580][6B8301C6]The Vex are captives to logic, incapable of subterfuge. This makes them corruptible. Who knows what else might lurk inside their network.
[6922A580][8EAFDCC6]What of you? Is your fireteam your family?
[6922A580][59E760C7]I couldn't agree more. As much as I want to be able to stop and savor this moment, the Vex won't afford us that time.
[6922A580][B9772DC8]A true Kell does not judge many by the few, but… once, a Guardian chose not to pull their trigger, and spared my life. Now… this.
[6922A580][7E4057CE]The machine-spawn collect their forces. Gather your Light and prepare for battle!
[6922A580][BA7B9DCE]The addition of splicing to the Guardian's arsenal makes them unstoppable! No machine can stand in our way now!
[6922A580][768B18CF]Accessing the Vex network is a longtime goal of the Future War Cult. Breach it for us, and for humanity!
[6922A580][9DBAE9CF]The Vex manifest in spirals. Every revolution ascends into the future. Stay your course.
[6922A580][EB5009D0]Mind your words carefully. Do not presume to speak for me or for Amanda.
[6922A580][D8C24ED0]A long life gives many opportunities to form opinions… and change them.
[6922A580][0F6D57D0]Reflecting on our victories, I am reminded of an Eliksni legend. One told by the scribes of House Judgment.
[6922A580][A97191D1]I don't know if I ever told you, Ikora… but I'm proud of the leader you've become. 
[6922A580][409333D2]Ah… hm, yes. Eliksni did this as well. Once upon a time.
[6922A580][E9973AD3]The vortex is almost manifest. The Subjugated Mind will soon be revealed!
[6922A580][0D457AD3]I could not have said it better, my four-armed friend.
[6922A580][F7E61CD4]Time is running short. My visions show that an invasion of the Last City is imminent. We must learn the secrets of this network before it arrives!
[6922A580][BC2E8CD4]We must find a way into the Vex network. Crush these soulless machines, and harvest their wires for data!
[6922A580][35BFC5D5]A good leader uses all available tools to stay one step ahead of any threat. You taught me that.
[6922A580][4509E0D5]The Vex are staggered. I can sense their confusion. Only a few more incursions to go.
[6922A580][D5BB47D7]Do not let the machine-spawn divert your attention. Keep it fixed on the terminal.
[6922A580][3EDDC1D8]We're spotting shadows.
[6922A580][9223E9D8]This place is strange. Like a machine Ascendant Plane! I do not like it. Destroy their leader and get out of there.
[6922A580][A82738D9]If this is a simulation… why is it so ugly? The Vex have infinite power, and they use it like a child with crayons.
[6922A580][8C406BDA]The data you recover here will empower all sides. Those who would establish order, and those who would unleash anarchy.
[6922A580][D21912DB]The Vex network cannot be spliced by… explosives. A Sacred Splicer is subtle. 
[6922A580][C7B11FDB]We defended ourselves from extinction, and now that we have the upper hand, you pretend to be victims. Pfah!
[6922A580][EAF868DB]I sense the Vex mind. It lashes out with something like desperation. They are coming for you!
[6922A580][4B8603DC]We have exchanged heart-words.
[6922A580][24289FDE]You did well, Guardian. But I still do not trust these Fallen methods. We could do this on our own.
[6922A580][7ED39FDE]Our fear and belief made Skira powerful. When we ceased being afraid, Skira ceased to be.
[6922A580][B5F8D9DE]Very impressive, Guardian.
[6922A580][C2900EDF]This network is a… place? Like another planet?
[6922A580][AE6FA7E0]You're just like the Spider—making peace with one hand and stealing with the other three.
[6922A580][CFAC08E1]The Vex domain is complex, but it can be overwhelmed. Secure the back door, and overload the terminal with data.
[6922A580][39B18BE1]Impressive work, Guardian. But beware the influence of Savathûn.
[6922A580][EFE11DE2]The Guardian did the hard part, but I admit that your Splicer tricks are… useful.
[6922A580][AF6B87E2]We do what we must to survive.
[6922A580][5C524CE3]Vex portal technology could prove a powerful addition to our arsenal.
[6922A580][7F1D5AE5]This is their last attempt to lock you out. The vortex is almost open!
[6922A580][88D808E6]The splice is complete! Enter quickly!
[6922A580][E37BB2E6]The corruption of the Vex network is deeper than I imagined. We must cleanse it for the good of all.
[6922A580][F68873E7]Darkness in hand and Darkness in heart are not the same. True valor cannot be turned.
[6922A580][14F145E9]It will take some time for Saladin to adjust. He'll come around.
[6922A580][493987E9]As you ascend, network defenses will grow stronger. Hone your will, and prepare to face the Subjugated Mind.
[6922A580][541AF4E9]In your experience with humanity?
[6922A580][81514EEA]This is the breakthrough Future War Cult has always dreamed of. It could give us an edge in the coming battle against the Darkness!
[6922A580][113F80EA]I suppose that it is.
[6922A580][6CBE82EA]I have seen Guardians torn to pieces by Fallen. I have seen unarmed people massacred by Fallen! 
[6922A580][DB97DBEB]The Vex attempt to lock out the terminal. Destroy countermeasures to keep it operating!
[6922A580][E5C1ABEC]The Vex network trembles with your Light. With each incursion, you draw closer to the mind behind it.
[6922A580][1A6AC2EC]The Vex network is treacherous, but Guardians fear nothing. I have seen this. Unleash your Light on this machine domain!
[6922A580][D45249ED]Excellent work. The Guardian's performance has provided me with a wealth of information.
[6922A580][45DA60EF]You are the first Human to gaze into the Vex network. You show what humanity and Eliksni can accomplish… together.
[6922A580][1FE573F1]I speak for the people of the Last City. They've not forgotten all the misery the Fallen have caused us. Even if you have.
[6922A580][E68ED1F1]I am sure the Vex have prophesied this incursion. Proceed through the network with vigilance.
[6922A580][A4DF76F2]Show these Vex that even their own network is not safe from your Light!
[6922A580][8C42EEF2]A rousing success. It's remarkable what we can accomplish together.
[6922A580][EDB92EF3]Most of the Fallen are monsters. Guardians have even seen them eat Humans. Is this not true, Saint-14?
[6922A580][DC6D65F6]I do not understand these Splicer techniques. But I confess, they seem to work.
[6922A580][C2111FF7]Eradication of the Vex. Entirely.
[6922A580][9DC5B4F8]Aren't they? And yet without the Light, the Eliksni have proven more than formidable adversaries in the past.
[6922A580][F89AD7F9]Pardon?
[6922A580][6D83EEF9]The Vex domain is both a palace and a prison. Free the Subjugated Mind confined here.
[6922A580][F4D9A4FA]These Splicer tricks never cease to amaze me. Breach the network and show the Vex what the House of Light can do!
[6922A580][1B1574FB]The Vanguard is my family. Zavala, the brother I never knew I needed, and Cayde…
[6922A580][E37FB1FC]I, too, have heard these stories, though Eliksni scribes prefer silence. It makes pain in my spirit to think on it.
[6922A580][7531A0FD]Of all I have trained in the ways of the Splicer, my greatest pupil is a Guardian. [chuckles] The Light creates humor in darkness.
[6922A580][1A6D27FE]And humanity wonders why the Vex are so hostile. Do you not wonder if this is a future the Vex predict?
[6922A580][6B191BFF]It's even more magnificent than in my visions! The data you secure here will fuel research for decades to come!
[6922A580][816C7DFF]The Vex are weakening. Your attacks are taking a toll.
[6A22A580][8E295A01]Save your false holiness for Ikora! Guardians did not go to Riis to attack Fallen. Fallen came to Earth to attack us! 
[6A22A580][797A6201]Another Vex node collapsed. Excellent. How does it feel, Mithrax? Working hand in hand with the enemy?
[6A22A580][90AF6301]Mithrax and I agree on little, except this: destroy these Vex, harvest their datas, and crush their network!
[6A22A580][F891C202]How?
[6A22A580][947F3003]The Vex disconnect the terminal. But they must retake it to end the incursion. Do not allow it.
[6A22A580][0E724304]Before Mithrax, the Vex network was a mystery. Now it's another hunting ground! Breach and destroy, Guardian!
[6A22A580][6CFD6504]The Vex network becomes more fragile with each incursion. 
[6A22A580][F58AFF04]The network attempts to reencrypt. Disrupt the passcode sequence and continue the splice.
[6A22A580][CFDC4606]Crush their last defense to complete the splice. We have other networks to collapse.
[6A22A580][7B884008]It's frightening that Savathun was strong enough to make pawns of the Vex. One wonders how else she might infiltrate our ranks…
[6A22A580][4F3E8B09]This network is a… place? Like another planet?
[6A22A580][6E01A609]The vortex gathers energy, moving from potential to material. Your splice nears completion. 
[6A22A580][AC8BD309]Do not let the machine-spawn divert your attention. Keep it fixed on the terminal.
[6A22A580][31FE370A]Not with weapons or words, but with silence.
[6A22A580][3CB5940A]Do not forget your Splicer training. Allow the Light to guide you, and the Vex network will bend to your will.
[6A22A580][A3B0060B]Spying on the people of the Last City? Look at you, acting as the devil you know.
[6A22A580][DAD9810B]The path to the Vex net is revealed. Into the vortex!
[6A22A580][9CE3D60B]You worship the Traveler, but condone the use of Darkness? How very convenient.
[6A22A580][AE71510C]We do what we must to survive.
[6A22A580][F5BAD70C]The Endless Night was Savathun's work all along. I can't believe we missed it.
[6A22A580][C3638A0E]Prepare for another assault. The Vex will endure as many casualties as necessary to keep the vortex closed.
[6A22A580][10039F0E]You're like Osiris. You make me feel like crazy one. 
[6A22A580][CF5EAB0E]The future of the City stretches out before me! Every incursion sharpens my visions. Keep pressing, Guardian!
[6A22A580][1984E70E]The data you recover here will empower all sides. Those who would establish order, and those who would unleash anarchy.
[6A22A580][9172AC13]It isn't as simple as giving them permission. Zavala expressly forbade it, and yet…
[6A22A580][5ECC3814]I'm happy to see this partnership working out, Guardian. It looks like the House of Light is pulling its weight.
[6A22A580][AB347115]I learned from the best.
[6A22A580][188B1317]The Guardian must make more incursions on the Vex network. I can guide, but cannot follow.
[6A22A580][89B42A17]Is it wrong to mistrust those who have hunted, raided, and murdered us for centuries? I think not.
[6A22A580][DA5C7118]To your credit, Mithrax. I was wrong to doubt you.
[6A22A580][D2069618]No. But… similar. A demon of our past, defeated.
[6A22A580][7D73FB18]I have seen Guardians torn to pieces by Fallen. I have seen unarmed people massacred by Fallen! 
[6A22A580][03EBA419]This place is strange. Like a machine Ascendant Plane! I do not like it. Destroy their leader and get out of there.
[6A22A580][F368D61A]The way of the Splicer grows within you, Guardian. Spread your Light throughout the Vex network.
[6A22A580][8E611E1B]Vex forces rally! If they regain the terminal, our incursion will fail. Repel their assault.
[6A22A580][CF36751B]But I hope now that our violent past will create a future peace. If not, the Darkness triumphs already.
[6A22A580][E7FA2F1C]Guardians continue to use the Darkness. Some without issue, others… There have been incidents.
[6A22A580][3EA9EE1C]Reflecting on our victories, I am reminded of an Eliksni legend. One told by the scribes of House Judgment.
[6A22A580][1B4D241E]Our fear and belief made Skira powerful. When we ceased being afraid, Skira ceased to be.
[6A22A580][8D1C161F]That is a… very serene way of seeing the world. Thank you for sharing it with me.
[6A22A580][374C631F]Sending others into danger from a position of safety. This is Fallen leadership.
[6A22A580][4B29841F]Your fancy Splicer glove worked, but next time, let's use explosives.
[6A22A580][81381620]Quria's presence proves that we can't trust anyone. Not even our own Vanguard. And especially not the Fallen invaders!
[6A22A580][8F32D120]The Vex network makes me wonder: if we can't tell the difference between reality and simulation, how do I know what's real? Oh, it hurts my head.
[6A22A580][BE16A421]Your combat is impressive, Guardian. The Light favors you.
[6A22A580][4E770522]Mithrax—the Guardian moves through the Vex network with ease. This is your doing. We owe you our thanks. 
[6A22A580][65C9FA23]If this is a simulation… why is it so ugly? The Vex have infinite power, and they use it like a child with crayons.
[6A22A580][FBCCFA23]The addition of splicing to the Guardian's arsenal makes them unstoppable! No machine can stand in our way now!
[6A22A580][B42E2E24]Save your doubt for the Witch Queen. It is one of her only weaknesses. 
[6A22A580][8D732625]You did well, Guardian. But I still do not trust these Fallen methods. We could do this on our own.
[6A22A580][E54E8425]No. They are yours.
[6A22A580][10609626]This network looks solid. But it's actually a… simulated super-position. Mithrax taught me that not everything is like it seems.
[6A22A580][36208F28]Are those your words? Or is that Eramis I hear?
[6A22A580][1DF5F228]Ah, yes. Well, forewarned is forearmed. But I don't need to tell you that, do I?
[6A22A580][A8098429]Shouldn't I? We could learn much from studying Savathun's manipulations; see a larger picture.
[6A22A580][2C869429]You have manipulated Vex data as you would the Light. This is the power of the Sacred Splicer.
[6A22A580][8F01EE29]More Eliksni Houses?
[6A22A580][2425882A]I couldn't agree more. As much as I want to be able to stop and savor this moment, the Vex won't afford us that time.
[6A22A580][C775922B]These missions have reminded me who our true enemies are. Collapse the Vex network and limit the Witch Queen's influence!
[6A22A580][E7C7602C]Yes. You often destroy what you do not understand. The Eliksni have seen this.
[6A22A580][FEE1892C]The Vex domain is complex, but it can be overwhelmed. Secure the back door, and overload the terminal with data.
[6A22A580][8787A72D]I can practically hear the Vex gears grinding. They cannot stop you. But they will still try.
[6A22A580][9B652D2E]Eradication of the Vex. Entirely.
[6A22A580][A420822E]You are the first Human to gaze into the Vex network. You show what humanity and Eliksni can accomplish… together.
[6A22A580][28489531]I don't know if I ever told you, Ikora… but I'm proud of the leader you've become. 
[6A22A580][E7101B32]The Saint finds use for Eliksni. Hmm. These are dark days indeed.
[6A22A580][96BC3133]A change in one branch of the Vex domain cascades into infinite others. 
[6A22A580][2E9F5834]This must be the Subjugated Mind! Crush these poor machines so we can leave this hideous place!
[6A22A580][78E27F35]A true Kell does not judge many by the few, but… once, a Guardian chose not to pull their trigger, and spared my life. Now… this.
[6A22A580][06FE8635]I, too, have heard these stories, though Eliksni scribes prefer silence. It makes pain in my spirit to think on it.
[6A22A580][3321A936]Manipulation. Infiltration. These are the only skills the Fallen have to share. No wonder so many are criminals.
[6A22A580][3F801937]They would observe a distant star through a telescope; wait for a planet to cross in front of its position.
[6A22A580][64013537]Your attack has been noticed. The Vex already reencrypt their network.
[6A22A580][8E1BC639]The Vanguard is my family. Zavala, the brother I never knew I needed, and Cayde…
[6A22A580][9D33F339]No, no. Fireteam is fireteam. Family is family. Very important to Eliksni. Large. "Ketch is Kin," [chuckles] as we say. 
[6A22A580][E2A2233B]You're wearing them down, Guardian. Their metal is no match for your Light!
[6A22A580][7614BE3B]Even those with gifted foresight can stumble into… unforeseen consequences.
[6A22A580][20D1BE3B]I could not have said it better, my four-armed friend.
[6A22A580][3BE7563D]Your shipwright, Miss Holliday, for instance. Do you think she'll forgive as easily as you?
[6A22A580][419E1E3F]The Saint speaks the truth. All hail the Great Machine.
[6A22A580][91D1B340]Best not linger here, Guardian. The interior of the Vex network can be disorienting. Stouter minds than ours have been driven to madness.
[6A22A580][1C9FBE40]To cauterize all contact with the Darkness, lest you risk infestation.
[6A22A580][D1AC6041]Good. I hope this is a start to finding common ground. A road to peace.
[6A22A580][44C75842]Aren't they? And yet without the Light, the Eliksni have proven more than formidable adversaries in the past.
[6A22A580][CECE8A42]It's true. I've seen the Fallen do this and more. But… many things were different back then. 
[6A22A580][6E1FD342]When I predicted the Red War, everyone laughed. Now I predict that Vex technology is the key to our salvation, and I hear no laughter.
[6A22A580][3E3A3943]Thus, creating a shadow. 
[6A22A580][1D774243]I do not understand these Splicer techniques. But I confess, they seem to work.
[6A22A580][EF1D5143]Just because you can't see the shears, Osiris, doesn't mean I'm not pruning dead  branches.
[6A22A580][A783BC43]Eliksni do not have lives to spare. We use wits to survive.
[6A22A580][A3F39C44]Mithrax? I was wondering, where do you see this alliance going now that you've had time to experience more of humanity?
[6A22A580][DC234246]These Splicer techniques are beginning to pay off. Keep hammering at the Vex network until it collapses!
[6A22A580][98854346]The Eliksni have much to give in service of the Great Machine.
[6A22A580][F8157D46]This is the most secure network in existence. Yet Savathun infiltrated it with ease. We must act quickly, or the Last City will be next.
[6A22A580][58979746]As you ascend, network defenses will grow stronger. Hone your will, and prepare to face the Subjugated Mind.
[6A22A580][99A01548]It's strange to hear sympathy from such an accomplished warrior.
[6A22A580][2C46A848]Judging by the Vex response, your fancy Splicer glove is working! Keep at it!
[6A22A580][5B281449]Does that erase a history of violence?
[6A22A580][31086449]The Vex network is revealed in layers. Override the passcode to gain deeper access.
[6A22A580][F4B2774A]The situation in the Last City is at a breaking point. The data we recover here could prove the key to solving the problem, once and for all.
[6A22A580][1425FA4A]Impressive work, Guardian. But beware the influence of Savathun.
[6A22A580][3314B74B]You're just like the Spider—making peace with one hand and stealing with the other three.
[6A22A580][19A1C94B]In your experience with humanity?
[6A22A580][12A0E94B]This is not the first time I have viewed humanity up close. As you say, "warts and all."
[6A22A580][399C284C]Following a Fallen into battle makes my trigger finger itch. Watch your back, Guardian.
[6A22A580][B8603F4C]Some of us bear that weight longer than others. If we're strong enough.
[6A22A580][EC2A194D]You almost sound like you admire her.
[6A22A580][412C504D]After all this time, our key into the Vex network is a Fallen traitor. Not even I could have predicted that.
[6A22A580][62FC384E]This victory is not without cost. How do you think the people of the Last City feel, hearing you praise their enemies?
[6A22A580][39CA474E]Mithrax's Splicer glove is impressive, I admit. But if Guardian had four arms, we could do the same thing in half the time!
[6A22A580][A13CCD4F]A rousing success. It's remarkable what we can accomplish together.
[6A22A580][7E63CE4F]Use the Light while you can, Guardian. It will not shine on you forever.
[6A22A580][6787DF4F]The Vex security cycles. Each circuit grows more desperate. 
[6A22A580][BC5F5250]Outstanding. Seeing the Vex networks collapse like this makes me wonder if we could apply these tactics on a larger scale. 
[6A22A580][8F854C51]Hopefully we can end this threat before Lakshmi whips the City into a violent frenzy. The latest reports…
[6A22A580][DD180C53]Primitive Human astronomy. 
[6A22A580][15EF7754]I have a daughter. She is very wise for her age… hm, sometimes too much. I fight for her.
[6A22A580][A4461555]Be vigilant. I should have felt the Witch Queen's presence in the network, but I did not. Her spies could be anywhere.
[6A22A580][AC6D1855]Enjoy your victory, but remain vigilant. The Vex are but a part of Savathun's final plan.
[6A22A580][BFB72E56]I was wrong to doubt you, Mithrax. We could not have succeeded without your help.
[6A22A580][4EFAF357]This is their last attempt to lock you out. The vortex is almost open!
[6A22A580][93582A5A]Remember, Guardian: just because a Fallen helped us access this network, that doesn't make them our allies.
[6A22A580][EC2F785A]If Savathun has infiltrated the Vex domain, she'll have calculated the potential futures that align with her goals. What those are, is anyone's guess.
[6A22A580][CF3AC95A]I can't believe that Light had the power to unlock the Vex network. It took an Eliksni to teach us this. Incredible.
[6A22A580][F42BEA5C]Vex defenses have been reset. But like circuits, they can be overloaded. Continue the assault!
[6A22A580][6CD4105E]Mithrax's machine glove is a powerful weapon. 
[6A22A580][5F831B5F]The Great Machine blesses all in different ways.
[6A22A580][456AD25F]The Vex domain still operates on rules like gravity and continuous flow of time. For all their advancements, the Vex still lack imagination.
[6A22A580][2AAF4960]I can help you exploit an entrance into the Vex network. Once inside, you must find your own way.
[6A22A580][E9556662]Ikorakel, how is it you have allowed your Guardians to wield the Darkness?
[6A22A580][980F3664]Mithrax has located many data caches. Like fuel for your Splicer hand!
[6A22A580][A413C064]This must be the vortex. Enter before it closes!
[6A22A580][C4C8F565]I suppose that it is.
[6A22A580][2DEB8366]A long life gives many opportunities to form opinions… and change them.
[6A22A580][6FD0C066]Accessing the Vex network is a longtime goal of the Future War Cult. Breach it for us, and for humanity!
[6A22A580][7550D467]That is… uncommon focus.
[6A22A580][9A208968]Mind your words carefully. Do not presume to speak for me or for Amanda.
[6A22A580][9ACD8F6C]The Splicer Gauntlet is not only a weapon. It is a tool for reforming reality. 
[6A22A580][602DA76C]This is the breakthrough Future War Cult has always dreamed of. It could give us an edge in the coming battle against the Darkness!
[6A22A580][F3A3AB6D]The Vex network cannot be spliced by… explosives. A Sacred Splicer is subtle. 
[6A22A580][EF30D66D]I don't know about the Vex network, but I know an attack coming when I see one! Hold your ground!
[6A22A580][A3BFE36D]Countermeasures incoming. Turn them back to scrap!
[6A22A580][8DF0D36E]Such as?
[6A22A580][C6660A70]The Guardian did the hard part, but I admit that your Splicer tricks are… useful.
[6A22A580][DEA8A470]The vortex resists manifestation. A final surge of data will force it into being.
[6A22A580][E26E2771]I speak for the people of the Last City. They've not forgotten all the misery the Fallen have caused us. Even if you have.
[6A22A580][F099D671]You call Spider thief, but your future-power was stolen from the Vex! Spider is criminal, but he is no hypocrite.
[6A22A580][648EEC71]So said many Eliksni before the Whirlwind.
[6A22A580][E209A872]With access to this network, I can finally unlock technology that's mystified us for centuries. 
[6A22A580][54C5B972]The Vex domain is both a palace and a prison. Free the Subjugated Mind confined here.
[6A22A580][4E6AE072]This mission has been a success, due in no small part to Mithrax. But never forget that he is the exception, not the rule.
[6A22A580][E59E7B73]Eliksni showing us new ways to combat the Vex. I could never have imagined!
[6A22A580][EA786274]Only Splicer skills and Guardian Light could breach the Vex network. The House of Light honors you.
[6A22A580][18C5C274]The Guardian's incursion was necessary, but I am sorry to see so many Vex destroyed.
[6A22A580][9F45C974]As the threats against humanity escalate, so too must our defensive capabilities. 
[6A22A580][BE501175]Your Guardians are efficient at death-making.
[6A22A580][1B7B5275]Yes. House Light and humanity, hands joined, become a wall of pikes. 
[6A22A580][420D5875]The Guardian learns to channel Vex data. This is the way of the Sacred Splicer.
[6A22A580][461A9E75]The Vex network opens before you! Beware: the path to its center has many countermeasures. Pacify them to reach your goal.
[6A22A580][1BF00876]So said Eramis. Misraaks will help, as long as help is wanted.
[6A22A580][B1502C76]Do not trust Misraaks. Trust the Great Machine. Its power flows through the Guardian. 
[6A22A580][96E56876]Vex are inbound on your position. Hold your ground and guard the connection.
[6A22A580][99273B77]Those who hunger for violence will find it. It is a circle that eats itself.
[6A22A580][67F08E77]I can feel the Vex mind stirring. It is aware of your presence. Prepare for its violence.
[6A22A580][CAA6FC78]The Fallen are faithless. The Traveler will never abandon us. 
[6A22A580][D4F39679]Those who wield the Darkness are no doubt more susceptible to her machinations.
[6A22A580][E89CA57B]I am joyful of our victory! Though it is difficult to watch Guardians deal violence with the Light, as many Eliksni have seen before.
[6A22A580][6DD9ED7B]The Vex won't give up so easily. They're recalibrating their defenses. Be ready for anything.
[6A22A580][1B2C0D7C]And humanity wonders why the Vex are so hostile. Do you not wonder if this is a future the Vex predict?
[6A22A580][C4A5007D]With Mithrax's help, the Vex network is open to you. They cannot stand against us, even on their own territory!
[6A22A580][0CDF107E]The vortex is almost manifest. The Subjugated Mind will soon be revealed!
[6A22A580][7FABD97F]I admire the Vex greatly. This network is a testament to their power. That said, I would still never invite them into our city.
[6A22A580][82D02681]This vortex could lead anywhere. Be careful, Guardian.
[6A22A580][526E2D83]Ikorakel. Do you have… family?
[6A22A580][2CF3BE83]Data did not slay the Vex. Data did not save you on Europa. Guardians do these things.
[6A22A580][6B9BB084]Still plotting, are we?
[6A22A580][54FF4D86]You are right to question sincerity. I have killed many Humans. Even some Guardians. And reveled in violence.
[6A22A580][226BDC86]Before the Great Machine, Eliksni were hounded by Skira, the Watcher. A shapechanger, manipulator.
[6A22A580][CA3E3D87]The Vex know you've hacked them. They're on their way to… anti-hack you. Defend the terminal!
[6A22A580][F5728688]The Witch Queen is dangerous, but she is no match for the Great Machine. 
[6A22A580][A63D1589]Nothing is ever as simple as it seems on the surface.
[6A22A580][B3710B8A]I'm sure the Guardian could have achieved their aim without help from the Fallen.
[6A22A580][3C3A6C8A]A good leader uses all available tools to stay one step ahead of any threat. You taught me that.
[6A22A580][3EDE8C8A]Now, imagine more hands. All joined against a common enemy.
[6A22A580][362D078B]Bah. Talking to Vex is boring. Better to destroy them! 
[6A22A580][670E3D8D]We're spotting shadows.
[6A22A580][6736558D]The Vex network is treacherous, but Guardians fear nothing. I have seen this. Unleash your Light on this machine domain!
[6A22A580][208D7B8D]You would join hands with Savathun?
[6A22A580][BBC1D38D]A Sacred Splicer must feel the Vex, as you feel the Light. I sense a hidden doorway nearby. Enter and secure the data.
[6A22A580][CD31FF8D]The Gauntlet is a tool only. The Guardian does the work.  
[6A22A580][B4AFA88E]The Vex are trying to lock you out. Show them that Guardians are not so easily outwitted!
[6A22A580][A88FBD8F]Now you see how data flows through the world, just as Light.
[6A22A580][35B82F91]Show these Vex that even their own network is not safe from your Light!
[6A22A580][38C71893]What is your opinion, then? Of us. Of humanity?
[6A22A580][43D6B498]Defenses crushed. Structure collapsed. Now, we look ahead to the next task.
[6A22A580][7987629A]The network entrance is vulnerable! Feed data into the terminal to overload the Vex defenses.
[6A22A580][1575C79A]Complete the final unlock sequence to manifest the vortex!
[6A22A580][0B5C049B]What of you? Is your fireteam your family?
[6A22A580][1DF6389B]We're starting to see so much of ourselves in each other, aren't we?
[6A22A580][FE70E89B]Ikorakel. I understand Eliksni are not the only species you work alongside. You found peace with Caiatl of the Cabal, yes?
[6A22A580][8E2A03A0]The Vex network is a sprawling digital metaconsciousness. And like a Human mind, it can be manipulated.
[6A22A580][51714BA0]Ah… hm, yes. Eliksni did this as well. Once upon a time.
[6A22A580][58D95FA0]Most of the Fallen are monsters. Guardians have even seen them eat Humans. Is this not true, Saint-14?
[6A22A580][6EC36AA2]Now that the true mastermind of the Endless Night is revealed, the data you pull from the Vex network is more crucial than ever!
[6A22A580][112589A2]The splice is complete! Enter quickly!
[6A22A580][B1757EA5]Excellent work. The Guardian's performance has provided me with a wealth of information.
[6A22A580][449D7FA5]I do not see Guardians as the enemy. We are all children of the Great Machine. Of the Light.
[6A22A580][436B40A7]I sense the Vex mind. It lashes out with something like desperation. They are coming for you!
[6A22A580][D92E9CA9]Now you see the Subjugated Mind—keeper of this domain. Destroy it to secure the data!
[6A22A580][7DED22AB]We must find a way into the Vex network. Crush these soulless machines, and harvest their wires for data!
[6A22A580][881B65AC]We need one more batch of data. Then you can jump into the Vex brain-space!
[6A22A580][C00AB6AC]Perhaps, but we do need all the help we can get. 
[6A22A580][39DEEEAC]This Splicer tech must work because the Vex are converging to shut it down!
[6A22A580][EBD816AD]You were always trying to look ten steps ahead. I suppose that's why you and the Speaker used to butt heads.
[6A22A580][D17B84AD]Pardon?
[6A22A580][0EC387AD]I suspect she's been watching for quite some time.
[6A22A580][F0E4A1AD]Very impressive, Guardian.
[6A22A580][C69B52AF]You're right, Splicer. The Light is the key to victory.
[6A22A580][EBB3ABAF]But those Eliksni were not of House Light. We cannot change what they did. We can only promise to be better.
[6A22A580][376812B2]With the Witch Queen in hiding, now is not the time to trust new acquaintances. 
[6A22A580][76AA3EB2]We defended ourselves from extinction, and now that we have the upper hand, you pretend to be victims. Pfah!
[6A22A580][889CD5B4]The Fallen are strange. They are advanced enough to Splice the Vex network, but their ships still look like heaps of garbage!
[6A22A580][CFE7D0B5]She best not watch me! I will spot her like Suraya's bird!
[6A22A580][FAE9E6B5]We are making progress against the Vex. But be careful—Savathun will be watching. 
[6A22A580][0811ADB6]The Vex are weakening. Your attacks are taking a toll.
[6A22A580][BE4831B7]You see what became of Eramis. But Misraaks also sees Guardians using the Darkness to defend Eliksni.
[6A22A580][0DAC7CB7]Mithrax has located a back door to the Vex domain. Get your foot in that door, and secure the data!
[6A22A580][C8700EB8]It allowed astronomers to infer a cosmic truth without being able to perceive it directly.
[6A22A580][56299AB8]Great Houses destroyed. Made refugees in a foreign land. Nothing is "convenient" for Eliksni.
[6A22A580][0F76FEB9]Mithrax says the vortex is almost ready. I don't know what that means, but the Vex want to stop you, so it must be good!
[6A22A580][5ABC0EBA]It's even more magnificent than in my visions! The data you secure here will fuel research for decades to come!
[6A22A580][2F240CBC]The Light provides. The Guardian does the rest.
[6A22A580][490B1BBC]Peace is too strong a word. We made a mutual decision to turn our attention elsewhere. 
[6A22A580][ADF8C6BC]You are beyond our reach now, Guardian. Stay alert to any trick or traps! This may yet be a ploy by the Fallen.
[6A22A580][397231BF]Guardian—you're realizing a dream that stretches back to Dr. Maya Sundaresh, founder of the Future War Cult. A truly amazing accomplishment.
[6A22A580][44CF72BF]Hm, a new layer of security. Escalate access by overriding the passcode.
[6A22A580][23A683BF]Eliksni. Cabal. Hive, too, perhaps. Imagine what we could all do, if we simply understood.
[6A22A580][24345CC0]The Witch Queen threatens all. Together is the only way forward.
[6A22A580][723D9EC0]Quria's presence in the network proves that Savathun's plan is deeper than we imagined. Her endgame is inconceivable, even to the Vex.
[6A22A580][BEBCD7C0]The corruption of the Vex network is deeper than I imagined. We must cleanse it for the good of all.
[6A22A580][B824CFC3]Of all I have trained in the ways of the Splicer, my greatest pupil is a Guardian. [chuckles] The Light creates humor in darkness.
[6A22A580][D81050C4]Within the Vex network lies the secret to their portal technology. We could do great things with such power.
[6A22A580][8F5988C5]Darkness in hand and Darkness in heart are not the same. True valor cannot be turned.
[6A22A580][CD556DC6]Has Saint-14 spoken to you yet, Mithrax?
[6A22A580][12D36DC6]Stellar work, Guardian. You and Mithrax make a good team.
[6A22A580][FBD3FCC7]The Endless Night gives cover to our enemies. You must breach the Vex network and find out what's behind it.
[6A22A580][D4A7C4C8]The Vex have a more robust view of time than Humans. They'll have seen this coming. Be careful, Guardian.
[6A22A580][8450A7C9]And some warriors, like Saladin-Commander, do not find joy in this. He finds no victory in peace.
[6A22A580][8D8E2BCA]Eliksni have feared Guardian ferocity for centuries. Turn your fury on the Vex!
[6A22A580][467080CA]Destroyed Vex yield a ripe source of data! Feed it into the terminal to crash the system.
[6A22A580][57BB13CB]You learn quickly, Guardian. Splicing Vex code is like discovering new language.
[6A22A580][6D0A04CD]What is this phrase?
[6A22A580][9EDA0CCE]We have exchanged heart-words.
[6A22A580][9EB94DCF]After many centuries, the Fallen are still full of surprises.
[6A22A580][3159B6CF]We do what is needed in order to survive.
[6A22A580][E53875D0]To what end, Osiris?
[6A22A580][E36E19D1]Now that we know Savathun is behind the attack on the City, our missions are even more important.
[6A22A580][3E462BD2]Imagine what we could do with Vex portal technology.
[6A22A580][D096CCD3]The Vex network trembles with your Light. With each incursion, you draw closer to the mind behind it.
[6A22A580][8FD374D4]The network repairs like a body healing a cut. Disrupt the passcode to keep the splice alive. 
[6A22A580][6A09FDD6]The Vex attempt to lock out the terminal. Destroy countermeasures to keep it operating!
[6A22A580][8E37ABD8]Your story about Saint—the way the Eliksni children tell it, especially—it's deeply affected him.
[6A22A580][5A73D7D8]So will they.
[6A22A580][F82D57D9]The Vex network rebuilds in infinite branches. Enter and let your Light halt its advance.
[6A22A580][0F12D5DA]In the end, humanity can rely only on itself.
[6A22A580][EC64EEDA]Guardians fighting alongside Eliksni to break Savathun's hold over the Vex. It's getting hard to keep track of whose side we're on!
[6A22A580][801CCFDC]You did well, but never forget: you're a Guardian first. Your power is a gift from the Traveler. Not the Fallen.
[6A22A580][54FDEADD]If we could collapse everything they've built across time…
[6A22A580][D9ACF3DE]The Fallen may help us gain access to the Vex network, but that doesn't make them our allies. You're a Human first, Guardian. Never forget it.
[6A22A580][04B94AE1]The Vex are not a destructive rabble, like the Fallen. They have much to teach. I'm here to guarantee that we learn what we can.
[6A22A580][8CE4B6E1]How better to understand your enemies, than to learn to think like them?
[6A22A580][D63D44E2]Guardian, we must splice an entrance to the Vex network. I can guide you, but I cannot follow.
[6A22A580][407DB6E3]The Vex manifest in spirals. Every revolution ascends into the future. Stay your course.
[6A22A580][3D22CEE4]The Vex think they can outsmart you. Crush their simple passcode!
[6A22A580][E86178E5]The Vex are staggered. I can sense their confusion. Only a few more incursions to go.
[6A22A580][C23E20E6]When Eliksni are hunted, survival becomes a crime. House of Light wishes only peace.
[6A22A580][5C97E8E6]Yes, it would seem the Witch Queen was rather careful in her manipulations… to fool the Vex.
[6A22A580][4DC97CE7]Were it only that simple, Mithrax.
[6A22A580][0E01FCE7]To what end, Osiris?
[6A22A580][92359FEA]Time is running short. My visions show that an invasion of the Last City is imminent. We must learn the secrets of this network before it arrives!
[6A22A580][0756EEEA]I am sure the Vex have prophesied this incursion. Proceed through the network with vigilance.
[6A22A580][F5E268EB]I never thought Savathun was strong enough to corrupt the Vex. We must shut down the network to limit her reach.
[6A22A580][674752EC]This place reminds me too much of the Infinite Forest. I'd prefer to forget my time there…
[6A22A580][3147F3EC]Many Humans and their kin are eager to…  shed the weight of their responsibility through revelry.
[6A22A580][001EF5ED]The data you're recovering from these missions is already yielding results. We hope to stabilize our first portal soon.
[6A22A580][310D4CEE]The Subjugated Minds that control this domain are but pawns in Savathun's larger game. But be careful: even pawns can kill the queen.
[6A22A580][E944C2EE]Vex portal technology could prove a powerful addition to our arsenal.
[6A22A580][5DF090EF]These Splicer tricks never cease to amaze me. Breach the network and show the Vex what the House of Light can do!
[6A22A580][6713CEEF]I look at humanity and I see a river. Ever flowing, ever changing. You have the power to both destroy and create. 
[6A22A580][1CDDEAEF]Tell me, Mithrax-kell, how many Humans have died in your hands? Dozens? Hundreds?
[6A22A580][EB3A2BF1]The information you glean here could be the key to victory over the Vex—and the Fallen. Humanity is behind you.
[6A22A580][450544F1]The network bends to your will. It cannot resist for much longer. 
[6A22A580][458FEAF1]Nothing can save these machines from your Light. Destroy them!
[6A22A580][A41A6DF3]Subtlety flies out windows once shooting starts. 
[6A22A580][3E3DF7F3]The Vex are captives to logic, incapable of subterfuge. This makes them corruptible. Who knows what else might lurk inside their network.
[6A22A580][2C42C2F4]The Vex network is potential reality. Mathematical superposition verging on existence.
[6A22A580][416B19F5]It will take some time for Saladin to adjust. He'll come around.
[6A22A580][860170F5]The Guardian learns to splice into the Vex mind. Learns to make data a weapon. 
[6A22A580][F46FFDF5]It's just a shame you failed to heed more conventional wisdom.
[6A22A580][9B000FF6]Splicing is more exciting than I thought! It uses a delightful number of grenades!
[6A22A580][26C3BCF6]They're trying to fix their broken code. Deal with the Vex, but keep one eye on the terminal.
[6A22A580][8719F3F6]The machine-spawn collect their forces. Gather your Light and prepare for battle!
[6A22A580][E19D2BF7]The data you recover here will be invaluable to the Future War Cult. But not even Lakshmi can foresee the consequences of such a boon. 
[6A22A580][043CE3F8]Another network collapsed. I'll begin analysis of the data we recovered.
[6A22A580][2F72F7F8]Continue your work, Guardian. Every breach of the Vex network enhances my ability to foresee potential threats. 
[6A22A580][8C369BF9]Crack open the Vex and bring back their datas! Do not worry yourself over the bodies. They feel no pain. 
[6A22A580][935D12FD]Leading with fear and mistrust. Eramis tried this on Europa. It was her unmaking. 
[6A22A580][B94ADAFF]Well played, Guardian! With Mithrax's Gauntlet, the Vex cannot stand against you. 
[6E22A580][D9164900]She's in need of constant repair, but we're used to it. Our House has fixed every part of her, from sensors to exhaust.
[6E22A580][2951B701]Many Eliksni spend their whole lives on ships. They become more than a home—they're like a member of the family.
[6E22A580][C2554105]As if Ghosts needed the Humans, and not the other way around.
[6E22A580][EA5CEA05]However, my personal observations have not supported that conclusion. 
[6E22A580][97D2E907]I understand the City used to have an official "Speaker." A sort of cleric who spoke to the Great Machine's will.
[6E22A580][DA3BB009]This is why scrap-working is so important to Eliksni culture. It's a way of sharing our spirit with the world, even when we have nothing.
[6E22A580][7FF3CB09]This "sharing of hatred," as my father would say, is disappointing but not unexpected. Some Eliksni believe that Guardians prey on us without reason. 
[6E22A580][EE87650A]During our Golden Age, the Eliksni civilization spanned many star systems. Farther than humanity could imagine.
[6E22A580][F583D30F]In a world of unlimited Ether, like Riis before the Whirlwind, all Eliksni look like Captains. That's our final form.
[6E22A580][60CDDC17]But now that we have seen the Guardians among their own people, taking orders and making awkward small talk…
[6E22A580][AFB56118]That's why shrines like these are made of many small pieces. Each bit was added by a different House. It's a tradition that lasted generations. 
[6E22A580][55D12120]They were driven not only by desperation, but by unspoken resentment at the Great Machine's abandonment.
[6E22A580][3C3BB827]Every Kell since the Whirlwind has tried to unify Eliksni in opposition to humanity. This war-like mentality has been a weakness.
[6E22A580][52AF3E2B]But as a Scribe, I know better. The accusations Lakshmi makes against us are mostly true. Eliksni have raided the Last City for centuries. 
[6E22A580][DA08932B]Having lost our grounding, Ketches evolved from modes of transportation into permanent homes.
[6E22A580][803B3D2C]Most Eliksni you see now are underdeveloped. 
[6E22A580][2E650F2F]Though the Scourge claimed to fight for Eliksni empowerment, in reality, they represented the final degradation of our culture. 
[6E22A580][3F7FD330]Hello! My name is Eido. My father is Misraaks, Kell of our House. I took my name from his first Awoken friend, Sjur Eido.
[6E22A580][C4AB3934]So when I look at her, I don't see an object. I see the members of my House. I see myself. To us, machines are vessels, not just tools. 
[6E22A580][180BC237]When Ikora Rey offered us refuge, we assumed she had the authority to do so.
[6E22A580][012A2039]This is a great moment for Eliksni and humanity alike.
[6E22A580][7BF8AA3C]I lived for many years among the Awoken, and understand that Humans do good things as well. Sometimes.
[6E22A580][0B5C543E]It's a story our hatchlings will hear for many centuries. But it does not end here. 
[6E22A580][8A33003F]Now, his messages of tolerance and forgiveness appear naïve. Perhaps this was the attackers' goal.
[6E22A580][5B0F673F]We know this is not true, of course, but it helps hatchlings to rest peacefully.
[6E22A580][7C465545]This Shank has been with us for many years. She's temperamental, but loyal.  
[6E22A580][1F3AB14E]When we arrived here, we were surprised to discover that many Guardians treat their Ghosts like equals, or worse, like servants. 
[6E22A580][AC176655]Now, after so much wandering, it's hard to believe that there's real ground beneath us, and a real sky above.
[6E22A580][EA1EBB57]However, Misraakskel also believes in peace and cooperation with humanity. This is less popular. 
[6E22A580][9743C55B]They're forever stunted by Ether rationing, which began as a necessity, and gradually evolved into a mechanism of social control.
[6E22A580][BB84E95B]Misraaks found me in the vent of a wrecked ship, you know. We joke that my father is a Splicer and my mother is a Ketch. [laughs]
[6E22A580][F2B6315E]Eliksni have had their blessings from the Great Machine, it's true, but we've never known the power that Ghosts grant humanity.
[6E22A580][9BBD8864]The Tower is the keeper of the Vanguard spirit, and you would defend it more fiercely than any other building. Is it not so?
[6E22A580][CD282A65]But the others in the House of Light have not been so lucky in their allies as I have. It will take time to earn their trust.
[6E22A580][24E83666]So when Siviks founded Kell's Scourge, promising to return Eliksni to power with ancient weaponry, many were drawn to his call. 
[6E22A580][37F89766]I don't think this tradition will continue in the House of Light. We no longer see Guardians as monsters. Just people: frightened and misguided.
[6E22A580][BC391E69]And in all of our exploration, we never found anything more wonderous than the Great Machine.
[6E22A580][2F42906B]Guardians throw their lives away for sport, in games like Crucible or Gambit, taking the miracle of resurrection for granted.  
[6E22A580][E4534C72]Eliksni Houses are more than tribes for sharing work and resources. They also represent living philosophies.
[6E22A580][C7491473]This instability puts Misraakskel in a difficult position. Many in our House were against coming here, but they trusted my father's judgment.
[6E22A580][75131A77]The first time that Guardians and House Light stood united, under the Great Machine, against a common enemy. 
[6E22A580][45A4557D]Most of those Houses are now extinct, and their members are scattered.
[6E22A580][A698E57E]After the fall of our homeworld, Riis, Eliksni scattered across the stars.
[6E22A580][DD1C667F]Many Eliksni believe that humanity takes the Great Machine's blessings for granted. Just as we once did. Perhaps they're right.
[6E22A580][42C66A83]Even after Eliksni began to resettle in places like the Reef, we never lost our reverence for the machines that kept us alive. 
[6E22A580][6EA31F86]He does not take more than his share of Ether, and he does not punish by docking limbs. These are radical, but popular, ideas in our House.
[6E22A580][EE9CAC87]I think that if Eliksni became Guardians, we would use the Light to serve the Great Machine, not our own amusement.
[6E22A580][2E6ACD87]It's one of the few things that all Eliksni Houses can agree on.
[6E22A580][533CDA8C]Humans think of Ether as food for Eliksni. A form of sustenance. That's only partially true. 
[6E22A580][36B3248F]As Scribe for the House of Light, it's my job to preserve our House's history, so that hatchlings may one day learn our stories. 
[6E22A580][62F77890]It's funny. I revered the Great Machine all my life, without ever having seen it. And now that it's right overhead, I still look to this shrine for comfort.
[6E22A580][2CB08393]However, Human records state that role was abandoned after Dominus Ghaul sacked the City.
[6E22A580][48EE8993]After that, the ward changes meanings. For grown Eliksni, it's a reminder that the Great Machine blesses life-givers and killers alike.
[6E22A580][299DA093]After the Whirlwind, many Eliksni were overcome by feelings of hopelessness. They were homeless, hungry, and hunted by Guardians and Hive alike. 
[6E22A580][137D94A3]But in other ways, we're different. My father, Misraaks, is Kell of our House. But he does not act as past Kells. 
[6E22A580][175E0FA4]Together, we may yet prevent a second Collapse. The Light provides.
[6E22A580][0C9632A4]Some Eliksni tell hatchlings that these wards keep Guardians from attacking us in our sleep. 
[6E22A580][30FCE6A6]In many ways, the House of Light is traditional: we worship the Great Machine, and we embrace ancestral roles like Splicers and Scribes.
[6E22A580][C4BF41AA]But the longer we stay here, the more we wonder if anyone is in charge of this city. Your leaders do not seem to have the loyalty of the people.
[6E22A580][C5E899B1]Now, ruthless leaders like Spider use the distribution of Ether to keep their followers dependent.
[6E22A580][F42725B3]Eliksni may not be blessed with eternal life like the Guardians, but Misraakskel has proven that we are valuable allies.
[6E22A580][DC2834B3]I'm sure that Guardians feel the same way about their Tower. It's more than a hollow form. More than the rubble it was built from.
[6E22A580][7B2DAFB3]Here lies the remnants of Kell's Scourge—a dark period in Eliksni history. 
[6E22A580][BAC493B4]I believe this is the war strategy Humans call "poisoning the town well."
[6E22A580][B9D899C0]With the Darkness approaching, we will need each other more than ever.
[6E22A580][D5B03CC6]Let ours be a cautionary tale: no matter how enlightened a culture, there are always those who prey on our worst impulses for their own gain.
[6E22A580][00810AC8]Soon enough, they must learn that the Guardians cannot be stopped by such things. That they cannot be stopped at all. Even by death.
[6E22A580][520822CF]Misraakskel requested that I leave some records for the Humans of the Last City so they might learn about Eliksni culture in their own time. 
[6E22A580][9E685ED9]My research with the Awoken suggested that Humans revered it as we do. 
[6E22A580][2B7F85DD]As he says, "Inside a Ketch, everyone breathes the same air."
[6E22A580][3AB75DDF]I discovered this Shell among Spider's supplies. Many Eliksni fear Guardians but delight at your Ghosts. 
[6E22A580][6D9E0FE1]I'm surprised Humans would destroy a representation of the Great Machine.
[6E22A580][B83A1FE1]But the Great Machine has chosen them, so I must give them the benefit of my faith. Hopefully this effort does not go wasted.
[6E22A580][44F61BE3]We think of them as extensions of the Great Machine's will. Deserving of reverence.
[6E22A580][8CD3AAE7]Though I have doubts that the Humans will care to hear our stories, the snipers who look down on us do not seem like the curious types.
[6E22A580][448303E8]The House of Light tries to unify Eliksni with humanity, not against them. And this is how we are received.
[6E22A580][1C48F8EF]If Eliksni are ever to live in peace, we must make Ether available to all, regardless of rank.
[6E22A580][B47DD4F0]Ether also catalyzes physical maturation and promotes molting. In that sense, it's like hormones in Human adolescents.  
[6E22A580][34D782F7]To leave the Great Machine without a representative among the people seems…heretical.
[6E22A580][7EB66BF8]A once-great interstellar civilization was reduced to an anarchist mob, led by a power-hungry coward. 
[6E22A580][298AA8FB]Everyone in our House has seen Eliksni killed by Guardians. Not just warriors, but innocents and hatchlings.
[6E22A580][B0ADEFFB]I will learn what I can from your Cryptarchs, just as I did with the Awoken Techeuns. Hopefully, our combined knowledge will be sufficient.
[6E22A580][0A8FE3FE]Luckily, we have enough Ether reserves to last until repairs are made, but this is a worrying sign.
[6F22A580][FB669A05]I believe this is the war strategy Humans call "poisoning the town well."
[6F22A580][E8861207]After the Whirlwind, many Eliksni were overcome by feelings of hopelessness. They were homeless, hungry, and hunted by Guardians and Hive alike. 
[6F22A580][CB915509]A once-great interstellar civilization was reduced to an anarchist mob, led by a power-hungry coward.

[6F22A580][79D56E11]If Eliksni are ever to live in peace, we must make Ether available to all, regardless of rank.
[6F22A580][A29F1B14]That's why shrines like these are made of many small pieces. Each bit was added by a different House. It's a tradition that lasted generations. 
[6F22A580][E820A514]Many Eliksni spend their whole lives on ships. They become more than a home—they're like a member of the family.
[6F22A580][6B22201D]My research with the Awoken suggested that Humans revered it as we do. 
[6F22A580][069A691D]We know this is not true, of course, but it helps hatchlings to rest peacefully.
[6F22A580][2D266C24]But now that we have seen the Guardians among their own people, taking orders and making awkward small talk…
[6F22A580][65252529]So when I look at her, I don't see an object. I see the members of my House. I see myself. To us, machines are vessels, not just tools. 
[6F22A580][9E08D52D]As he says, "Inside a Ketch, everyone breathes the same air."
[6F22A580][C5F8F62E]Most Eliksni you see now are underdeveloped. 
[6F22A580][D21FBC2F]Misraaks found me in the vent of a wrecked ship, you know. We joke that my father is a Splicer and my mother is a Ketch. [laughs]
[6F22A580][E4ECBC30]She's in need of constant repair, but we're used to it. Our House has fixed every part of her, from sensors to exhaust.
[6F22A580][76A52C31]I understand the City used to have an official "Speaker." A sort of cleric who spoke to the Great Machine's will.
[6F22A580][037C6936]However, my personal observations have not supported that conclusion. 
[6F22A580][F9E34437]Some Eliksni tell hatchlings that these wards keep Guardians from attacking us in our sleep. 
[6F22A580][37AC6738]I discovered this Shell among Spider's supplies. Many Eliksni fear Guardians but delight at your Ghosts. 
[6F22A580][89F49339]I'm sure that Guardians feel the same way about their Tower. It's more than a hollow form. More than the rubble it was built from.
[6F22A580][BF9EBC3E]But as a Scribe, I know better. The accusations Lakshmi makes against us are mostly true. Eliksni have raided the Last City for centuries. 
[6F22A580][5E9BC23F]Guardians throw their lives away for sport, in games like Crucible or Gambit, taking the miracle of resurrection for granted.  
[6F22A580][ECA3E045]Now, ruthless leaders like Spider use the distribution of Ether to keep their followers dependent.
[6F22A580][A02FED45]Most of those Houses are now extinct, and their members are scattered.

[6F22A580][59A4C451]Soon enough, they must learn that the Guardians cannot be stopped by such things. That they cannot be stopped at all. Even by death.
[6F22A580][EF54D955]During our Golden Age, the Eliksni civilization spanned many star systems. Farther than humanity could imagine.
[6F22A580][7B1C2F57]After the fall of our homeworld, Riis, Eliksni scattered across the stars.
[6F22A580][7E76C357]Hello! My name is Eido. My father is Misraaks, Kell of our House. I took my name from his first Awoken friend, Sjur Eido.
[6F22A580][97A98F5E]It's funny. I revered the Great Machine all my life, without ever having seen it. And now that it's right overhead, I still look to this shrine for comfort.
[6F22A580][83E9A65E]This is why scrap-working is so important to Eliksni culture. It's a way of sharing our spirit with the world, even when we have nothing.
[6F22A580][2F2FD963]It's one of the few things that all Eliksni Houses can agree on.
[6F22A580][518B7A67]To leave the Great Machine without a representative among the people seems…heretical.
[6F22A580][10519C69]But the others in the House of Light have not been so lucky in their allies as I have. It will take time to earn their trust.
[6F22A580][DE7E206A]This "sharing of hatred," as my father would say, is disappointing but not unexpected. Some Eliksni believe that Guardians prey on us without reason. 
[6F22A580][8DD87670]So when Siviks founded Kell's Scourge, promising to return Eliksni to power with ancient weaponry, many were drawn to his call. 
[6F22A580][81C6E77A]We think of them as extensions of the Great Machine's will. Deserving of reverence.

[6F22A580][CCC6FAAB]In a world of unlimited Ether, like Riis before the Whirlwind, all Eliksni look like Captains. That's our final form.

[6F22A580][980B8DC4]They were driven not only by desperation, but by unspoken resentment at the Great Machine's abandonment.
[6F22A580][94909DC5]This is a great moment for Eliksni and humanity alike.

[6F22A580][054AFAD1]Every Kell since the Whirlwind has tried to unify Eliksni in opposition to humanity. This war-like mentality has been a weakness.
[6F22A580][2DBEFAD1]The House of Light tries to unify Eliksni with humanity, not against them. And this is how we are received.

[6F22A580][978DC0F7]Having lost our grounding, Ketches evolved from modes of transportation into permanent homes.
[6F22A580][FDD5B4FD]I will learn what I can from your Cryptarchs, just as I did with the Awoken Techeuns. Hopefully, our combined knowledge will be sufficient.
[8422A580][9EA4F40D]The splice is complete! Enter quickly!
[8422A580][7032EB11]Right now, loyalists to the Future War Cult and New Monarchy have rounded up the Fallen in our city.
[8422A580][5EE15613]We haven't forgotten that it was the Fallen who ravaged our world and stripped it for parts. They would take the Traveler from us if they could.
[8422A580][CAADF314]I will send the Eliksni back to their people, back to Europa, and may they never cast a shadow on our city again!
[8422A580][74EF1C16]Force us to celebrate our lost heroes alongside those who murdered them. 
[8422A580][43998A17]Complete the final unlock sequence to manifest the vortex!
[8422A580][A417781E]Mithrax? Saint? What's your status?
[8422A580][50E34834]Osiris, what's your position?
[8422A580][13A13635]Osiris, respond!
[8422A580][083E7B38]The network entrance is vulnerable! Feed data into the terminal to overload the Vex defenses.
[8422A580][9BBBA63D]How could Lakshmi do this?
[8422A580][526AB341]I sense the Vex mind. It lashes out with something like desperation. They are coming for you!
[8422A580][5A3C4E42]Do not let the machine-spawn divert your attention. Keep it fixed on the terminal.
[8422A580][F527864E]Yes, the Endless Night is over. But now, Mithrax and his House will use this opportunity to do what the Fallen have always done.
[8422A580][BF608851]We need this incursion ended. Now. Before any more lives are lost.
[8422A580][E444AF56]With the aid of Osiris, I have learned how to safely command the power of the Vex. I will use it to do what the Vanguard will not.
[8422A580][FD752658]Ikora, Zavala, any Guardian who can hear us! We are in need of aid!
[8422A580][9DFDC85B]The network attempts to reencrypt. Disrupt the passcode sequence and continue the splice.
[8422A580][DEB2DE62]We are overrun! Please, we cannot hold them off for much longer!
[8422A580][62FE386A]Eliksni have feared the Guardian ferocity for centuries. Turn your fury on the Vex!
[8422A580][C343026B]Can anyone read me?!
[8422A580][A283FD71]Guardian! There are too many Vex! We need that portal closed!
[8422A580][7C36B972]Lakshmi-2 has opened a Vex portal in the Eliksni quarter! 
[8422A580][57F36D77]They embrace the Darkness. Welcome Eramis's followers into our midst with open arms. 
[8422A580][AA1F3782]The Traveler chose us. It abandoned the Fallen because they are unfit, unworthy of the Light. They would take it from us if they could.
[8422A580][73DBC487]No! You must protect your people!
[8422A580][B5CFCC90]He was right behind me! I—I have lost him!
[8422A580][8CD5C7A0]We are alone. Then… we must fight as if this is our last!
[8422A580][C7160AA2]This is Ikora Rey broadcasting on all open channels. Can anyone hear me?
[8422A580][D501D4AD]I have seen the future with my own eyes, and it has not changed. Doom still builds on our horizon like a terrible storm.
[8422A580][B8AC0DB3]You are my people!
[8422A580][430350C6]No. NO! [agonized screams]
[8422A580][E59185C9]The Vanguard have lost their way.
[8422A580][6A88FECD]We alone will save humanity. I have seen the darkest of futures, and with this act, I will—
[8422A580][3A4B6ECF]Vex. Inside the walls of the Last City. How could this happen?
[8422A580][8AD9E8D5]This isn't what you told me would happen!
[8422A580][23A1A9D8]People of the Last City: we have endured many great tragedies thanks to our strength and a steadfast commitment to humanity.
[8422A580][B29B6BDA]Is anyone near our position?
[8422A580][FAC22FDC]Vex defenses have been reset. But like circuits, they can be overloaded. Continue the assault!
[8422A580][897750DC]Do not worry, Mithrax, I am on my way!
[8422A580][B55912E6]All fireteams! Find and close that incursion point! Mithrax, what's your status?
[8422A580][E78A04EA]I will tear open a rift; banish the Fallen to the depths of space from where they came.
[8422A580][E792A5F2]The vortex resists manifestation. A final surge of data will force it into being!
[8422A580][6B702FF9]The Vex attempt to lock out the terminal. Destroy countermeasures to keep it operating!
[8422A580][CF93DAFA]Covet. Cheat. Steal. Kill. 
[8422A580][98DFC0FD]But there is hope.
[8522A580][A0F05200]I have seen the future with my own eyes, and it has not changed. Doom still builds on our horizon like a terrible storm.
[8522A580][9EF9250A]People of the Last City: we have endured many great tragedies thanks to our strength and a steadfast commitment to humanity.
[8522A580][9B0C831B]Vex defenses have been reset. But like circuits, they can be overloaded. Continue the assault!
[8522A580][8E346023]They embrace the Darkness. Welcome Eramis's followers into our midst with open arms. 
[8522A580][DE119F27]We need this incursion ended. Now. Before any more lives are lost.
[8522A580][C33AA82C]We haven't forgotten that it was the Fallen who ravaged our world and stripped it for parts. They would take the Traveler from us if they could.
[8522A580][442DB33B]All fireteams! Find and close that incursion point! Mithrax, what's your status?
[8522A580][99BA7944]Right now, loyalists to the Future War Cult and New Monarchy have rounded up the Fallen in our city.
[8522A580][F03E1548]Ikora, Zavala, any Guardian who can hear us! We are in need of aid!
[8522A580][D6156451]No! You must protect your people!
[8522A580][A9D94453]Osiris, what's your position?
[8522A580][63B2E253]We alone will save humanity. I have seen the darkest of futures, and with this act, I will—
[8522A580][8F6F1B54]This isn't what you told me would happen!
[8522A580][F1203257]We are alone. Then… we must fight as if this is our last!
[8522A580][D093F05A]Yes, the Endless Night is over. But now, Mithrax and his House will use this opportunity to do what the Fallen have always done.
[8522A580][83287E5B]Eliksni have feared the Guardian ferocity for centuries. Turn your fury on the Vex!
[8522A580][4EBF3C5C]No. NO! [agonized screams]
[8522A580][A54B5A60]The network entrance is vulnerable! Feed data into the terminal to overload the Vex defenses.
[8522A580][FF3A9B60]We are overrun! Please, we cannot hold them off for much longer!
[8522A580][D98F4E6B]With the aid of Osiris, I have learned how to safely command the power of the Vex. I will use it to do what the Vanguard will not.
[8522A580][3A9A136C]Covet. Cheat. Steal. Kill. 
[8522A580][85009C70]Force us to celebrate our lost heroes alongside those who murdered them. 
[8522A580][434BC770]Do not let the machine-spawn divert your attention. Keep it fixed on the terminal.
[8522A580][24F77177]He was right behind me! I—I have lost him!
[8522A580][4DBE5A7C]Mithrax? Saint? What's your status?
[8522A580][D7555983]Is anyone near our position?
[8522A580][6BD6B885]Vex. Inside the walls of the Last City. How could this happen?
[8522A580][51BC9789]Lakshmi-2 has opened a Vex portal in the Eliksni quarter! 
[8522A580][1C24FC94]Do not worry, Mithrax, I am on my way!
[8522A580][F750FDA4]The Traveler chose us. It abandoned the Fallen because they are unfit, unworthy of the Light. They would take it from us if they could.
[8522A580][F6BCDEBE]How could Lakshmi do this?
[8522A580][5C4C31C0]The Vanguard have lost their way.
[8522A580][FAA8C2C4]Can anyone read me?!
[8522A580][A642F1CA]The vortex resists manifestation. A final surge of data will force it into being!
[8522A580][4D984DCB]You are my people!
[8522A580][8CDD4BCC]The network attempts to reencrypt. Disrupt the passcode sequence and continue the splice.
[8522A580][53BBF2CC]I sense the Vex mind. It lashes out with something like desperation. They are coming for you!
[8522A580][9D4D81CE]But there is hope.
[8522A580][E67ADED2]The Vex attempt to lock out the terminal. Destroy countermeasures to keep it operating!
[8522A580][838740D3]The splice is complete! Enter quickly!
[8522A580][DE3A50D3]I will tear open a rift; banish the Fallen to the depths of space from where they came.
[8522A580][E35521D6]I will send the Eliksni back to their people, back to Europa, and may they never cast a shadow on our city again!
[8522A580][022D03DE]This is Ikora Rey broadcasting on all open channels. Can anyone hear me?
[8522A580][7FA497E4]Guardian! There are too many Vex! We need that portal closed!
[8522A580][AAF423E6]Complete the final unlock sequence to manifest the vortex!
[8522A580][E23064E6]Osiris, respond!
[9522A580][06CD5F02]What… is this?
[9522A580][46CA0603]We've detected Taken inside the domain. This isn't my first encounter with their infiltration of Vex networks.
[9522A580][05B5E703]This must be where the Vex design their architecture before bringing it to reality.
[9522A580][1ADBFC04]You will need to find a defense against the forces of eradication and entropy at work here.
[9522A580][87A94A05]I hope that as you change this place… it is not also changing you.
[9522A580][FF837706]Any time we give is time for Savathûn to scheme! No scheming; we shoot!
[9522A580][13142A08]I have found the Vex at the source of the Endless Night. Quria, the Dreaming Mind. Its code has been… corrupted by Taken magic.
[9522A580][31A64A09]But the Vex mind at the source of the Endless Night remains elusive.
[9522A580][1BF3D40C]A novel but ultimately pointless defensive strategy. 
[9522A580][4378E50D]An Eliksni Splicer would not have been able to endure this confrontation.
[9522A580][16D9820E]Quria has been commanding the other Vex, poisoning their minds, directing them at Savathûn's will… 
[9522A580][57E60910]When raised, the shield will ward you and nearby allies against harm. Use it to bypass the domain's destructive barriers.
[9522A580][88C52614]Lakshmi will manage. I'm confident.
[9522A580][47517214]Haha! I knew it! I knew we could do this! Congratulations, Guardian! This victory, it is monumental!
[9522A580][061DE514]Can you feel that? The threads of night unraveling, as if a veil is being lifted? The network is laid bare, its threads converging on—
[9522A580][EAFCF115]Then we strike now! Mithrax and I will lead force; we bring the fight to Quria and crush it!
[9522A580][8BA5B217]Bring down the Oppressive Mind's defenses with fragments of their own security.
[9522A580][73A44119]Focus on the task at hand; do not be distracted by your senses.
[9522A580][15C4B219]Each trespass into this domain is easier for you than the last.
[9522A580][66483F1B]They are proof of what can be accomplished when separate components become a single machine. 
[9522A580][677C5D1B]We succeed for a third time, and yet nothing has changed with the Endless Night. Why is that, Mithrax?
[9522A580][ADBDFE1C]Each time the Guardian destroys a Vex mind in control of a domain, the remaining Vex carry the leftover burden. 
[9522A580][2F6FF31D]If that is your wish.
[9522A580][51EDA21E]It would seem the Witch Queen has outmaneuvered us. But perhaps, she did not count on us seeing her hand so soon?
[9522A580][B709241F]If you overload that thought-conduit with an attack, you may be able to capture Vex data.
[9522A580][0ADEEE20]But you have shown me there is only the destiny we make for ourselves, nothing more. 
[9522A580][4C38CF22]Ever watchful, ever seeking. We trespass in dimensions not meant for either of us.
[9522A580][BAB4EC25]The Oppressive Mind has ensconced itself behind a series of data barriers. Remove the barriers and destroy it.
[9522A580][88CD0227]To think the Vex are able to divide themselves between the material world and this place to engineer their plans.
[9522A580][CB330728]We will fight, and soon. But it will be on our terms. Not hers.
[9522A580][94513428]Lakshmi is certain that our continued efforts, combined with Future War Cult's technology, can locate the source of the Endless Night.
[9522A580][33995B30]The Oppressive Mind has shielded itself from intrusion.
[9522A580][C922E934]With your Light, you are unweaving a reality the Vex have forced upon us. The tapestry of their design continues to fray. 
[9522A580][76198B37]Savathûn's eye is upon us now. I can feel her. It is as if this moment was unavoidable… fated.
[9522A580][FC4DB838]The challenges you face here are the very ones you faced as you honed your Splicer powers. 
[9522A580][49F4B839]But now we have a target.
[9522A580][C2B5A53C]Ikora has taught how Guardians cornered the Undying Mind not long ago. With her wisdom, and Eliksni Splicers, we have plan-devised.
[9522A580][91E7F644]A great evil, vanquished. A deed of legends.
[9522A580][FE5FC945]A decompiling analysis field? Interesting. Stay ahead of it.
[9522A580][BA12F745]You are breaching the space between reality and possibility. Where matter meets will and bends in a prism of Light. 
[9522A580][EFDE4349]We will work harder. We will find a way. The Light provides.
[9522A580][F8F9CE4C]Together.
[9522A580][31154150]This is how we save our people. By tearing apart the veil of night that the Vex have laid over the City. 
[9522A580][8BA19650]Try splicing a Vex consciousness into their network to break its defenses.
[9522A580][4FA41A51]Unbelievable. Quria is… gone. 
[9522A580][6A6A1554]Light guide you.
[9522A580][22A14754]Venture deeper, Guardian. The Vex are on alert, but their defenses have not fully come online.
[9522A580][807A2357]We can do this.
[9522A580][3275EF57]Go, Guardian. Walk in the Light.
[9522A580][304E0358]We must find a way through this labyrinth to the Oppressive Mind within.
[9522A580][35BDC058]If only our eyes were open enough to see them.
[9522A580][47BAB459]This is not unlike the Ascendant Plane… which raises many questions.
[9522A580][A789135A]A layer of barriers defends this realm, a mighty fortress that resists brute force. Cunning is the key here, Guardian.
[9522A580][EC89745A]An infestation.
[9522A580][FF2A695C]The guts of this dimension churn, digesting all within. This entire place seeks your end.
[9522A580][97D8855C]I do wonder if the Vex security here is so lacking because they never imagined you could reach this place. Because they can't simulate… 
[9522A580][A31EAE62]Quria, Blade Transform. The Dreaming Mind.
[9522A580][4C3A1863]As Zavalakel says: Stronger. Together.
[9522A580][82B20E69]But this is far from over.
[9522A580][C06B9A6B]This is a Vex disintegration domain, eradicating unneeded simulation data and abandoned terraforming projects.
[9522A580][7BF8F86D]I am aware of the device Lakshmi uses. Does it not worry you?
[9522A580][AB360F70]Then, punch through the network like a white-hot sword of Praxic fire.
[9522A580][36C22B71]It is taxing on its user. To have one's consciousness fractured into countless splinters and rejoined again can be… harrowing. 
[9522A580][C4B65776]The barrier has destabilized. You will need to continue to chip away at the defenses to destroy it entirely.
[9522A580][CDD21A78]A labyrinth of Vex consciousness, made manifest. 
[9522A580][87C88178]I have helped as much as I can. You tread uncharted paths… solving this enigma is up to you, and the skills you have been given.
[9522A580][75F0C778]The Guardian is a union-being. A conduit between two houses.
[9522A580][77AC3279]The end is here. The path to Quria opens. A night-end is in sight.
[9522A580][C4E3197A]The Endless Night is of Savathûn's design.
[9522A580][E7A98B7A]Guardian! This is it! Fight with everything you have!
[9522A580][22BEE57D]Yet, here you are… embodiment of the impossible. 
[9522A580][6638FE82]Fascinating.
[9522A580][F9108D84]Agreed. We must strike carefully, mitigate Quria's ability to rally defenses. 
[9522A580][AB600885]In what way?
[9522A580][A1AB5485]Another Oppressive Mind. Show it the fate of its predecessors.
[9522A580][1AAD8686]At last. Real progress.
[9522A580][5C1F3387]Besides, the less interaction Lakshmi has with your people at the moment… the better.
[9522A580][17C35E87]The fabric of reality is beginning to return to its prior state.
[9522A580][3F3DC08B]Our enemy hides behind others and uses them as pawns! Does their cowardice know no end?!
[9522A580][F666368E]What? No. Guardian, the Vex have sensed your presence in the network and are attempting a purge. You must hurry into the domain!
[9522A580][C5E54E93]Then we should focus our efforts on finding the central Vex mind guiding them. Osiris, how is that coming along?
[9522A580][65191194]A small one. Respectful. Very classy. I will wear suit.
[9522A580][37ABBE97]You are no longer an invader; you are a part of the system.
[9522A580][2D6D0D98]Not much longer now, Guardian! We are all here; we believe in you!
[9522A580][CBEC3298]Destroy Quria, and the Witch Queen will be forced into retreat. The Vex lose guidance; this network becomes unmanaged.
[9522A580][57305E99]Do you feel that?
[9522A580][DC336F9D]Once more, the Vex fall into our trap. Destroy them all. Bring this domain crumbling down.
[9522A580][6BB9BE9F]No, no. The Black Armory has already provided necessary enhancements for us. 
[9522A580][C619D69F]Quria has retreated within layers of security mirroring domains you have previously collapsed.
[9522A580][EA8FBFA0]Osiris is right. This is a monumental victory for humanity… and Eliksni. But it's a battle, not the war.
[9522A580][84586FA1]Quria rages against your presence. I can feel the sickening rot of the Taken's power shuddering through this domain.
[9522A580][2C3C9EA1]This sort of technology is taboo among the Eliksni. But perhaps House Light can still offer some assistance. 
[9522A580][FF00A5A4]That shield appears to be a hybridization of Vex data and the Light, born of your Splicer powers. 
[9522A580][3DAE9DA6]The impossible made possible. You truly are a thing of legends, Guardian.
[9522A580][99FA66A7]The Oppressive Mind emerges. Sever it from this domain!
[9522A580][37EBCAAB]I feel you moving through the Vex network as they do, as they are. 
[9522A580][347DF1AB]We cannot rush into this; we must find a safe route through the Vex domain where Quria's hiding.
[9522A580][889986AC]And a Lightbearer without a Splicer Gauntlet would never have been able to enter this domain at all. 
[9522A580][1D2F89AE]Quria is close. The Taken corruption in this Vex domain is deep. 
[9522A580][C7C5B7AE]You should be able to splice an essence of their consciousness from a destroyed Vex.
[9522A580][D90A1CB0]But what you see here is made manifest by your mind, turning Vex consciousness to something tangible.
[9522A580][2FBC32B0]We have woken the Oppressive Mind! Destroy it!
[9522A580][19F12CB4]This infinite realm beyond material space is but one of many. The universe holds so many dark and fascinating secrets.
[9522A580][C00B0EB6]Beware those barriers; they will destroy all matter they touch.
[9522A580][A3D05BB7]That… is unclear.
[9522A580][6C418EB7]Lakshmi is up to the task.
[9522A580][C7364AB8]And how many of these minds do you think are left to share that burden?
[9522A580][952E2BB9]It appears the Vex would prefer you not to learn anything further at all. You'd better get moving.
[9522A580][2FC5DBB9]My engineers could improve on the design… make it easier for Lakshmi…
[9522A580][929213BE]This is no mere simulation. Death in this domain is as real for the Vex as it is for you.
[9522A580][24F636BE]Something we can hit!
[9522A580][D64D1EBF][sighs] We've been played.
[9522A580][8D7CFBC2]I have found a route to Quria's hiding place. It is concealed behind numerous layers of defenses compiled by the Vex.
[9522A580][08D47FC3]Quria has shielded itself in multiple layers of the domain. It hides, a festering rot deep within the core of this network. 
[9522A580][97EC59C4]That structure ahead is a knot of Vex consciousness. If destroyed, it may reveal a path forward.
[9522A580][ED3673C4]Well done, Mithrax. Thank you.
[9522A580][660367C5]When you first stole into this realm, I did not believe you could achieve what you have. Invading a domain of Vex consciousness like this.
[9522A580][82FDC6C5]I won't stand by and watch our Lightless civilians continue to suffer.
[9522A580][57F029C6]The Vex have enacted a purge sweep of the domain. We should stay ahead of it.
[9522A580][8EBB4FC6]Mithrax, what's wrong? What do you see?
[9522A580][EF0A1AC7]Once more, the Vex fall into our snare. The domain's master is yours. Destroy it!
[9522A580][ADB655C8]Slowly. Lakshmi and Mithrax's Splicers are diligently working with data the Guardian has recovered.
[9522A580][1E56AAC9]Let's not uncork every bottle of champagne in the City just yet. 
[9522A580][6FE572CB]The more you explore the Vex domain, the more I feel an all-seeing eye upon us.
[9522A580][3D010ECC]The Vex, too, struggle against the yoke of oppression laid on them by Quria.
[9522A580][117245CC]This is it, Guardian. Payback for the Dreaming City. For our city. For everyone.
[9522A580][501B9ACC]In order to circumvent the remaining defenses, you must deceive the Vex domain consciousness into thinking you are one of them.
[9522A580][CF69C7CD]Another purge sweeps through the network; be cautious.
[9522A580][A5A75FD0]I've opted to take over for Mithrax, given my experience.
[9522A580][BF3BFED1]Somehow, in spite of everything you've accomplished, I managed to underestimate you.
[9522A580][6D4EE5D2]Together.
[9522A580][D3FC61D3]I can feel its infection through their systems: fingers of darkness grasping. Searching. Be careful, Guardian.
[9522A580][CB1E81D5]You are ready for this. Our hopes rest on you.
[9522A580][234CCED7]It seems the Vex are content to keep throwing the same defenses at you. Get into the domain, Guardian.
[9522A580][D0A192DB]Drag Quria from hiding. May its last thought be of fear. Of you.
[9522A580][A5DEBBDD]The Oppressive Mind rises to face us. Show it the power of a Splicer.
[9522A580][B36C17DF]Yes! Mithrax is correct. We will have a party. A celebration!
[9522A580][1E4CB3DF]With this victory, the threads of night are further unraveled, and the weaver of this dark tapestry can no longer elude us.
[9522A580][CD13A4E0]A reality where none but the Vex have ever been.
[9522A580][E2EB69E6]Even so… victories should be cherished.
[9522A580][704283E9]I know, Saint. But we have to be careful. Mithrax, will you report your findings to the Guardian back at the H.E.L.M.?
[9522A580][ABF7C4EA]Yes, perhaps… perhaps you are right.
[9522A580][3F43AAED]I won't make that mistake again.
[9522A580][41E2A6F1]Your goal here remains the same, Guardian. Breach the Vex labyrinth and gain access to the Oppressive Mind's central node.
[9522A580][9F0A08F4]I would caution you against underestimating Quria.
[9522A580][63B469F6]Proceed through the temporal breachway and infiltrate the Vex's subnetwork. 
[9522A580][B693B3F6]That fragment of Vex data can be used to splice a bypass in their security, granting us access to the Oppressive Mind at this domain's core.
[9522A580][A26898F8]That power…
[9522A580][D472BCF8]The Oppressive Mind that commanded this domain is no more, and now this region of the Vex network must collapse.
[9522A580][284666FB]Excellent. Now, raise your shield and bypass the defensive barriers.
[9522A580][4E3569FF]Ikora. I don't intend to let that happen.
[9522A580][0CDBBAFF]We need to move quickly. The simulation is draining the City's energy. 
[9622A580][AC536A01]A reality where none but the Vex have ever been.
[9622A580][03C09C05]I won't stand by and watch our Lightless civilians continue to suffer.
[9622A580][82E1AC07]The Vex have enacted a purge sweep of the domain. We should stay ahead of it.
[9622A580][E5493808]This is a Vex disintegration domain, eradicating unneeded simulation data and abandoned terraforming projects.
[9622A580][29E0750B]Something we can hit!
[9622A580][6AA3090C]We succeed for a third time, and yet nothing has changed with the Endless Night. Why is that, Mithrax?
[9622A580][D283460D]In what way?
[9622A580][AA2A580D]An Eliksni Splicer would not have been able to endure this confrontation.
[9622A580][3EA7160E]Bring down the Oppressive Mind's defenses with fragments of their own security.
[9622A580][0680130F]I do wonder if the Vex security here is so lacking because they never imagined you could reach this place. Because they can't simulate… 
[9622A580][82BDBC0F]My engineers could improve on the design… make it easier for Lakshmi…
[9622A580][F09BEF0F]Quria is close. The Taken corruption in this Vex domain is deep. 
[9622A580][AE6DB910]If you overload that thought-conduit with an attack, you may be able to capture Vex data.
[9622A580][0CE85A11]But the Vex mind at the source of the Endless Night remains elusive.
[9622A580][37E26B11]But this is far from over.
[9622A580][DEE9D511]Guardian! This is it! Fight with everything you have!
[9622A580][97047712]The Oppressive Mind has ensconced itself behind a series of data barriers. Remove the barriers and destroy it.
[9622A580][85C78C12]Lakshmi is up to the task.
[9622A580][6AD6AC12]The more you explore the Vex domain, the more I feel an all-seeing eye upon us.
[9622A580][EC67C814]A great evil, vanquished. A deed of legends.
[9622A580][C3EBBF16]Ikora. I don't intend to let that happen.
[9622A580][72BE7E17]You are ready for this. Our hopes rest on you.
[9622A580][A1D1001C]Excellent. Now, raise your shield and bypass the defensive barriers.
[9622A580][999F391C]Quria rages against your presence. I can feel the sickening rot of the Taken's power shuddering through this domain.
[9622A580][6741FD1C]Yet, here you are… embodiment of the impossible. 
[9622A580][7C45DB21]The Oppressive Mind rises to face us. Show it the power of a Splicer.
[9622A580][7633AE26]If that is your wish.
[9622A580][07FEE927]Venture deeper, Guardian. The Vex are on alert, but their defenses have not fully come online.
[9622A580][0222DD28]Yes! Mithrax is correct. We will have a party. A celebration!
[9622A580][5A79E828]A novel but ultimately pointless defensive strategy. 
[9622A580][5963282C]Beware those barriers; they will destroy all matter they touch.
[9622A580][0D073B2D]To think the Vex are able to divide themselves between the material world and this place to engineer their plans.
[9622A580][2331132F][sighs] We've been played.
[9622A580][EE87F22F]The fabric of reality is beginning to return to its prior state.
[9622A580][96828D31]Focus on the task at hand; do not be distracted by your senses.
[9622A580][3A0F7332]Try splicing a Vex consciousness into their network to break its defenses.
[9622A580][51D07136]As Zavalakel says: Stronger. Together.
[9622A580][5FD13A37]But you have shown me there is only the destiny we make for ourselves, nothing more. 
[9622A580][325F2D38]Our enemy hides behind others and uses them as pawns! Does their cowardice know no end?!
[9622A580][FDCAAD38]We must find a way through this labyrinth to the Oppressive Mind within.
[9622A580][EBF16C39]Ikora has taught how Guardians cornered the Undying Mind not long ago. With her wisdom, and Eliksni Splicers, we have plan-devised.
[9622A580][C7607F39]Fascinating.
[9622A580][FCB6033B]Not much longer now, Guardian! We are all here; we believe in you!
[9622A580][9220B43D]I am aware of the device Lakshmi uses. Does it not worry you?
[9622A580][14D5DC42]But now we have a target.
[9622A580][5E453046]Any time we give is time for Savathun to scheme! No scheming; we shoot!
[9622A580][25755F46]I know, Saint. But we have to be careful. Mithrax, will you report your findings to the Guardian back at the H.E.L.M.?
[9622A580][B7176246]Even so… victories should be cherished.
[9622A580][DB4EAA49]Then we strike now! Mithrax and I will lead force; we bring the fight to Quria and crush it!
[9622A580][3263354A]You should be able to splice an essence of their consciousness from a destroyed Vex.
[9622A580][759ED44D]We need to move quickly. The simulation is draining the City's energy. 
[9622A580][DAA0E64D]Unbelievable. Quria is… gone. 
[9622A580][5B463050]When you first stole into this realm, I did not believe you could achieve what you have. Invading a domain of Vex consciousness like this.
[9622A580][D8A19151]Each trespass into this domain is easier for you than the last.
[9622A580][FFEAD851]You are breaching the space between reality and possibility. Where matter meets will and bends in a prism of Light. 
[9622A580][CCAF1753]If only our eyes were open enough to see them.
[9622A580][92815655]Destroy Quria, and the Witch Queen will be forced into retreat. The Vex lose guidance; this network becomes unmanaged.
[9622A580][3A358E56]I would caution you against underestimating Quria.
[9622A580][32E70459]We will work harder. We will find a way. The Light provides.
[9622A580][06F3A55A]I have helped as much as I can. You tread uncharted paths… solving this enigma is up to you, and the skills you have been given.
[9622A580][F83BDD5A]The Guardian is a union-being. A conduit between two houses.
[9622A580][B9BA7B5B]The Endless Night is of Savathun's design.
[9622A580][98C5AB5F]It appears the Vex would prefer you not to learn anything further at all. You'd better get moving.
[9622A580][0D3D5062]Besides, the less interaction Lakshmi has with your people at the moment… the better.
[9622A580][964B1C63]The Oppressive Mind has shielded itself from intrusion.
[9622A580][D09A2465]I have found a route to Quria's hiding place. It is concealed behind numerous layers of defenses compiled by the Vex.
[9622A580][6F765065]It is taxing on its user. To have one's consciousness fractured into countless splinters and rejoined again can be… harrowing. 
[9622A580][3AAD0569]The end is here. The path to Quria opens. A night-end is in sight.
[9622A580][2DF85B73]Lakshmi is certain that our continued efforts, combined with Future War Cult's technology, can locate the source of the Endless Night.
[9622A580][DC955474]This is it, Guardian. Payback for the Dreaming City. For our city. For everyone.
[9622A580][226E7F74]I won't make that mistake again.
[9622A580][9D6A0979]Once more, the Vex fall into our trap. Destroy them all. Bring this domain crumbling down.
[9622A580][C396007A]Can you feel that? The threads of night unraveling, as if a veil is being lifted? The network is laid bare, its threads converging on—
[9622A580][AF95267C]That power…
[9622A580][D57A7B7C]The barrier has destabilized. You will need to continue to chip away at the defenses to destroy it entirely.
[9622A580][EFE9D47C]They are proof of what can be accomplished when separate components become a single machine. 
[9622A580][CE9BD17D]Yes, perhaps… perhaps you are right.
[9622A580][7CD9117E]This infinite realm beyond material space is but one of many. The universe holds so many dark and fascinating secrets.
[9622A580][BC4FA07E]Well done, Mithrax. Thank you.
[9622A580][64B7E883]Then we should focus our efforts on finding the central Vex mind guiding them. Osiris, how is that coming along?
[9622A580][FF712784]That fragment of Vex data can be used to splice a bypass in their security, granting us access to the Oppressive Mind at this domain's core.
[9622A580][B651EB84]The guts of this dimension churn, digesting all within. This entire place seeks your end.
[9622A580][993B258A]The Oppressive Mind that commanded this domain is no more, and now this region of the Vex network must collapse.
[9622A580][9F2F2A8A]We've detected Taken inside the domain. This isn't my first encounter with their infiltration of Vex networks.
[9622A580][6D433C8E]Drag Quria from hiding. May its last thought be of fear. Of you.
[9622A580][F701B38E]This is no mere simulation. Death in this domain is as real for the Vex as it is for you.
[9622A580][10CF6890]A labyrinth of Vex consciousness, made manifest. 
[9622A580][BC459F90]Agreed. We must strike carefully, mitigate Quria's ability to rally defenses. 
[9622A580][7B9CA393]Quria has retreated within layers of security mirroring domains you have previously collapsed.
[9622A580][E7ABE497]A decompiling analysis field? Interesting. Stay ahead of it.
[9622A580][601E5D98]A small one. Respectful. Very classy. I will wear suit.
[9622A580][B37FEE98]Savathun's eye is upon us now. I can feel her. It is as if this moment was unavoidable… fated.
[9622A580][93C44A99]With this victory, the threads of night are further unraveled, and the weaver of this dark tapestry can no longer elude us.
[9622A580][5A4A4D9D]Once more, the Vex fall into our snare. The domain's master is yours. Destroy it!
[9622A580][9A58889D]I have found the Vex at the source of the Endless Night. Quria, the Dreaming Mind. Its code has been… corrupted by Taken magic.
[9622A580][9C54139F]It would seem the Witch Queen has outmaneuvered us. But perhaps, she did not count on us seeing her hand so soon?
[9622A580][2B8E6CA0]At last. Real progress.
[9622A580][3D7F5CA2]An infestation.
[9622A580][F5336BA3]Together.
[9622A580][8AF444A4]Proceed through the temporal breachway and infiltrate the Vex's subnetwork. 
[9622A580][06061AA8]Haha! I knew it! I knew we could do this! Congratulations, Guardian! This victory, it is monumental!
[9622A580][403A2BA9]Each time the Guardian destroys a Vex mind in control of a domain, the remaining Vex carry the leftover burden. 
[9622A580][FF2EC0A9]Let's not uncork every bottle of champagne in the City just yet. 
[9622A580][9B1EE9AB]Go, Guardian. Walk in the Light.
[9622A580][EE6204AD]I feel you moving through the Vex network as they do, as they are. 
[9622A580][8A1115AE]We will fight, and soon. But it will be on our terms. Not hers.
[9622A580][38AD30AE]Another Oppressive Mind. Show it the fate of its predecessors.
[9622A580][3ACF9CAF]You are no longer an invader; you are a part of the system.
[9622A580][2AED82B2]This is not unlike the Ascendant Plane… which raises many questions.
[9622A580][452F1AB4]This sort of technology is taboo among the Eliksni. But perhaps House Light can still offer some assistance. 
[9622A580][E339CCB5]Quria has been commanding the other Vex, poisoning their minds, directing them at Savathun's will… 
[9622A580][C9AFCFB5]Ever watchful, ever seeking. We trespass in dimensions not meant for either of us.
[9622A580][D676CEB6]And how many of these minds do you think are left to share that burden?
[9622A580][BB3E68B7]What? No. Guardian, the Vex have sensed your presence in the network and are attempting a purge. You must hurry into the domain!
[9622A580][901835BA]The impossible made possible. You truly are a thing of legends, Guardian.
[9622A580][52F25DBB]Quria, Blade Transform. The Dreaming Mind.
[9622A580][3DB798BB]Lakshmi will manage. I'm confident.
[9622A580][0B610CBC]Light guide you.
[9622A580][9B3D84BD]Osiris is right. This is a monumental victory for humanity… and Eliksni. But it's a battle, not the war.
[9622A580][62322FBE]I can feel its infection through their systems: fingers of darkness grasping. Searching. Be careful, Guardian.
[9622A580][468434BE]Somehow, in spite of everything you've accomplished, I managed to underestimate you.
[9622A580][67E9C8BF]You will need to find a defense against the forces of eradication and entropy at work here.
[9622A580][EEA312C0]Then, punch through the network like a white-hot sword of Praxic fire.
[9622A580][6D3A14C2]We cannot rush into this; we must find a safe route through the Vex domain where Quria's hiding.
[9622A580][7EB1C8C2]That structure ahead is a knot of Vex consciousness. If destroyed, it may reveal a path forward.
[9622A580][7EFF52C4]I hope that as you change this place… it is not also changing you.
[9622A580][489A2AC5]I've opted to take over for Mithrax, given my experience.
[9622A580][19036CC7]Quria has shielded itself in multiple layers of the domain. It hides, a festering rot deep within the core of this network. 
[9622A580][3802F3C7]Your goal here remains the same, Guardian. Breach the Vex labyrinth and gain access to the Oppressive Mind's central node.
[9622A580][47E5E0CB]What… is this?
[9622A580][60678CCD]This is how we save our people. By tearing apart the veil of night that the Vex have laid over the City. 
[9622A580][5283B2CF]That… is unclear.
[9622A580][75CB56D3]In order to circumvent the remaining defenses, you must deceive the Vex domain consciousness into thinking you are one of them.
[9622A580][F019DAD5]Together.
[9622A580][464B5AD7]We have woken the Oppressive Mind! Destroy it!
[9622A580][DE74B4D8]That shield appears to be a hybridization of Vex data and the Light, born of your Splicer powers. 
[9622A580][248EB9DA]This must be where the Vex design their architecture before bringing it to reality.
[9622A580][B5540CDB]The challenges you face here are the very ones you faced as you honed your Splicer powers. 
[9622A580][AEF550DD]When raised, the shield will ward you and nearby allies against harm. Use it to bypass the domain's destructive barriers.
[9622A580][3A3051DE]Do you feel that?
[9622A580][60165BE4]But what you see here is made manifest by your mind, turning Vex consciousness to something tangible.
[9622A580][C0D72EE6]The Oppressive Mind emerges. Sever it from this domain!
[9622A580][AF30F0E8]Mithrax, what's wrong? What do you see?
[9622A580][364529EB]It seems the Vex are content to keep throwing the same defenses at you. Get into the domain, Guardian.
[9622A580][F6494EEB]No, no. The Black Armory has already provided necessary enhancements for us. 
[9622A580][88B716EC]Slowly. Lakshmi and Mithrax's Splicers are diligently working with data the Guardian has recovered.
[9622A580][25B642ED]And a Lightbearer without a Splicer Gauntlet would never have been able to enter this domain at all. 
[9622A580][C62788EE]A layer of barriers defends this realm, a mighty fortress that resists brute force. Cunning is the key here, Guardian.
[9622A580][E4A426F0]The Vex, too, struggle against the yoke of oppression laid on them by Quria.
[9622A580][A14331F5]We can do this.
[9622A580][F8D441FC]With your Light, you are unweaving a reality the Vex have forced upon us. The tapestry of their design continues to fray. 
[9622A580][0274C7FF]Another purge sweeps through the network; be cautious.

[3B21A480][E1E1264F]Once, in a city grander even than yours, we prospered.

[B7FFA580][56663100]An open council in the City to speak with the citizens… ha! I have imagined a new Vanguard, led by us!
[B7FFA580][88388006]Submit a proposal to Ikora. She seems willing to get you anything you need.
[B7FFA580][2FCC7B0C]You see what was done! Our Ether tanks, smashed! Our supplies, stolen! Our home, defaced!
[B7FFA580][7A759812]I understand. Later, we will speak more of this. 
[B7FFA580][1B014913]I shall. There are several modifications we will need for stable Ether production.
[B7FFA580][330CDA18]We ask for no more than you can give.
[B7FFA580][A222751D]I do not seek authority. Zavala may have a beautiful desk, but he is chained to it. 
[B7FFA580][D7FD4B22]Lakshmi was right. You are too political an animal, Osiris.
[B7FFA580][265FF526]The House of Light… we wish to destroy the Vex. To aid the Guardian. Same as you, yes?
[B7FFA580][28C70627]My people shelter beneath the Great Machine… This is beyond simple generosity. I must thank Ikora for her gift.
[B7FFA580][54BE7028]This Endless Night, it drains us. Our resources are spread too thin. What you give to them, you take from the mouths of our citizens!
[B7FFA580][E4F72B2B]With the Endless Night and the Eliksni here, our city has become a powder keg.
[B7FFA580][30B82A31]I see. Hmph. You are fighting for your people as I would fight for mine, yes? It is true. 
[B7FFA580][FDCFE236]Interesting.
[B7FFA580][2D0E623C]Yes, and on their behalf, let me extend a welcome.
[B7FFA580][4F408C3E]I am Osiris, and this is Lakshmi-2, Future War Cult leader and City representative.
[B7FFA580][94D98740]As do I.
[B7FFA580][EF46D34A]Lakshmi has radical ideas, but they are only words. No cause for alarm.
[B7FFA580][E65E7E4C]You cannot ask people to live alongside their monsters.
[B7FFA580][9FC9954E]Your people destroyed what little we possessed. Now we have nothing, nowhere to go.
[B7FFA580][2A8BD657]If you require further help from us, you must only ask.
[B7FFA580][4FA11F58]If you refuse, I imagine she might approach Lord Saladin next. And after what happened with Caiatl… 
[B7FFA580][49E72D59]And in truth, you would make an excellent leader.
[B7FFA580][2891255B]I must return to the people in the City. Future War Cult has foreseen great misery for them in the days ahead, and they will need an advocate.
[B7FFA580][8BFA4061]And you've had it! We allowed your brood to squat and chitter here in our city, but still the Vex simulation persists! 
[B7FFA580][D40F6361]I cannot find any witnesses. 
[B7FFA580][41708464]All right. That's enough. Ikora was firm: I am to provide for the Eliksni as if they were our own people.
[B7FFA580][738B9F65]You taking over as Titan Vanguard? She discussed it with me as well. 
[B7FFA580][78FF6C6A]One errant spark and it could be the end of the Vanguard.
[B7FFA580][2F05A36C]The air is thin there. Best not to breathe too much of it.
[B7FFA580][A47B6D71]House Light has never raised arms against humanity!
[B7FFA580][5F0D2772]The truth is that your kind has preyed upon us for as long as we can remember.
[B7FFA580][372F8272]This destruction helps no one but the Vex. Please, instead of teaching your people to fear us, tell them the truth.
[B7FFA580][A1A09574]Split the supplies as Ikora says. Anything to make this false night pass more quickly.
[B7FFA580][A3DC3579]You are lucky it was not worse.
[B7FFA580][FAAA6079]Your House can best show gratitude by keeping to itself. 
[B7FFA580][AB6F2A7C]You must understand, this situation is tense for us all. This encampment perches on the edge of decree and democracy.
[B7FFA580][24715A7E]This sanctuary is not granted by Ikora alone, but by all who live in the Last City.
[B7FFA580][0AF4667E]This is not surprising. The locals have been under enormous pressure.
[B7FFA580][1A8FAE81]Good, good. Only words, of course.
[B7FFA580][32D48883]Led by you. I would stay back and advise. I lack the… temperament for leadership.
[B7FFA580][3C30EB84]We would give you anything you asked for.
[B7FFA580][F0A1B590]There is nothing I can say that will make them forget.
[B7FFA580][CB484794]Osiris… there is something I must discuss with you. Lakshmi. She came to me with a… proposal.
[B7FFA580][CC24A49D]Because we would wish to live.
[B7FFA580][24C62A9E]You promised us your protection.
[B7FFA580][41F49E9E]My greatest appreciations to you both. The House of Light thanks you.
[B7FFA580][9C24439F]If you are displeased with how you have been treated for your failure, then I suggest you camp elsewhere.
[B7FFA580][1D0058A3]It appears Lakshmi is speaking a bit too freely. I will report her behavior to Ikora, though I imagine she already knows. 
[B7FFA580][FAEE83A3]We could use less bureaucracy, maybe. And more proactive strategies, where we reclaim ground taken from humanity.
[B7FFA580][0A1086AF]Let her believe you are considering it. 
[B7FFA580][C729C2AF]I hope your stay with us will be… uneventful.
[B7FFA580][2D68C1B1]I often forget how highly those in the Tower have placed themselves. 
[B7FFA580][9F29AABA]Ah, a fantasy only. I told Lakshmi I would think about it so she would go away. The words, ugh, tasted like treason in my mouth.
[B7FFA580][BA2026C3]You should continue working with Lakshmi. Don't mention what you've heard. We must keep this as quiet as we can. 
[B7FFA580][F47FA0C6]I know your assistance with the Vex will benefit us all, but not everyone in the City is so open-minded.
[B7FFA580][0B82FED3]You appear to be settling in. I will leave you to it. 
[B7FFA580][1F20D2D6]Because you are so generous?
[B7FFA580][967344D9]Pff, our own people!
[B7FFA580][1C1BC2DD]Humanity faced a challenge like that once.
[B7FFA580][6929DAE1]We banded together and built a city with walls to keep our enemies outside… where they belong.
[B7FFA580][403244E2]We have already surrendered too much! Now they want more. Meat, cloth, medicine… people in the City need these things!
[B7FFA580][7BA8B5EC]Your Houses and titles are layers of politics. You are still Fallen.
[B7FFA580][A4093FF0]We hear her broadcasts, but more than that—we feel the energy of her words in the air. Sharp as blades pointed at an enemy. At us.
[B7FFA580][DFF33EF3]Do not start with this. Tell me, Mithrax: were I in one of your cities, would you bow to all of my demands?
[B7FFA580][52B0C3FE]Listen to me now, Saint. Let me tell you something about monsters.
[B7FFA580][0AFA2AFF]She wants what is best for the people of the City. 
[B8FFA580][1ADA4C02]If you refuse, I imagine she might approach Lord Saladin next. And after what happened with Caiatl… 
[B8FFA580][166CCA02]And you've had it! We allowed your brood to squat and chitter here in our city, but still the Vex simulation persists! 
[B8FFA580][FF1B9B03]If you require further help from us, you must only ask.

[B8FFA580][7B1E57FD]Good, good. Only words, of course.
[6043A680][1723AB01]Tell it that the Future War Cult will personally replenish their supplies when they are ready to move on. I do not wish them to think badly of us.
[6043A680][01EF9A08]This time, I will not whisper my warnings. I will not be polite.
[6043A680][445ED90C]I have glimpsed our future, Guardian. And what I saw was chilling. 
[6043A680][AECF120D]Ikora listened to my report, but she chose not to hear it—the Vanguard would rather protect its image than its people!
[6043A680][16A68E1D]I won't bore you with an explanation of mind-forking. 
[6043A680][57BF901E]You and I… we will speak more when this ugliness is behind us, after the Fallen have returned to space and this Endless Night is a memory.
[6043A680][E75DE62E]And if you were wondering… this was not the conflict I have foreseen. No. That will come later… unless I can stop it.
[6043A680][DD72E030]I will speak to the Fallen leader. 
[6043A680][C6923D3B]Our city could use more heroes.
[6043A680][5FD75441]If they begin to act against us, well…
[6043A680][71847F45]Pride is a dangerous affliction—it is clear Ikora suffers from it. And yes, I know… I do as well.
[6043A680][1D908045]A group of Fallen. The same Fallen I saw earlier. 
[6043A680][9CD0C94E]The City deserves someone who acts. Someone who does what is right, even if it is unpopular.
[6043A680][87E28951]Do you see? I can admit when I am wrong—which is more than I can say for some of our current leaders.
[6043A680][A1EE5455]You understand, though. The City is a living thing, and it is rejecting the Fallen like a fever burning out an infection.
[6043A680][C725DC5D]When I foresaw the Red War, they laughed… until Ghaul bound the Traveler. 
[6043A680][E6E19D65]You did what had to be done to protect your city. You acted bravely. I admire you for that.
[6043A680][26507A7F]We can change this future; stop it from happening. 
[6043A680][5350F586]I am not a diplomat, and sometimes, I can be… terse. 
[6043A680][20638389]While I monitor your progress against the Vex and assist where I am able, I will observe these Fallen. 
[6043A680][5B8E8B92]And so, I will handle things myself. 
[6043A680][2CC82C9C]Your victory today has lifted a great weight from my chest. I feel like I can breathe again.
[6043A680][8309409C]Hmm… when I requisitioned this transmitter, I was told the H.E.L.M. would be a secure location. I suppose this will have to do.
[6043A680][907B2C9F]Hmm. The words of people reaching for dawn in this Endless Night. People who have still not given up hope. Neither have I.
[6043A680][23C8D3AB]I hope you are not too proud to accept my praise, even though we may not see eye to eye. 
[6043A680][6D33D5AC]The Future War Cult has long used Vex-derived technology to see into the future. 
[6043A680][837FF1AC]Guardian. I regret you had to witness my outburst earlier, with the Fallen leader. 
[6043A680][ED9BDEBB]Greetings, Guardian. I am Lakshmi-2, of the Future War Cult. And I am here to offer my assistance… because you need it quite badly. 
[6043A680][8D2090C9]Skies dark with smoke. Shouting. Gunfire. And in the center of it all, standing in our City… 
[6043A680][184327CA]"Rise up as one, march toward the sun…"
[6043A680][B01BCFCD]Have you heard the song of the people echoing through the City?
[6043A680][62B9E1CD]Ah, Guardian! I wanted to be among the first to send my regards. 
[6043A680][F76E17CE]Suffice to say, we understand its dangers and use the device responsibly.
[6043A680][417BDDE0]I look forward to working with you, Guardian. Together, we can protect our City from all who would wish it harm.
[6043A680][ED8616E8]After all, you destroyed Quria against the wishes of countless Vex. 
[6043A680][C6C9BAF3]I know they are your associates. What a City we would have if everyone's heart was as big as yours!
[6043A680][0C29DDFB]I know terrible things have been done in the name of the City. In the name of the Future War Cult. In my name.
[6143A680][503BAD07]This time, I will not whisper my warnings. I will not be polite.
[6143A680][7ADD6108]Do you see? I can admit when I am wrong—which is more than I can say for some of our current leaders.
[6143A680][60F50D0C]Greetings, Guardian. I am Lakshmi-2, of the Future War Cult. And I am here to offer my assistance… because you need it quite badly. 
[6143A680][C4C4CF0C]After all, you destroyed Quria against the wishes of countless Vex. 
[6143A680][4CC36410]You understand, though. The City is a living thing, and it is rejecting the Fallen like a fever burning out an infection.
[6143A680][15F02E13]Your victory today has lifted a great weight from my chest. I feel like I can breathe again.
[6143A680][7EE2A62B]I am not a diplomat, and sometimes, I can be… terse. 
[6143A680][10B7B52B]Pride is a dangerous affliction—it is clear Ikora suffers from it. And yes, I know… I do as well.
[6143A680][45BEC532]I know terrible things have been done in the name of the City. In the name of the Future War Cult. In my name.
[6143A680][38A9EC39]Skies dark with smoke. Shouting. Gunfire. And in the center of it all, standing in our City… 
[6143A680][79CCC545]I have glimpsed our future, Guardian. And what I saw was chilling. 
[6143A680][16CC0A47]I hope you are not too proud to accept my praise, even though we may not see eye to eye. 
[6143A680][18A9ED57]I will speak to the Fallen leader. 
[6143A680][52195963]Guardian. I regret you had to witness my outburst earlier, with the Fallen leader. 
[6143A680][A3873067]I won't bore you with an explanation of mind-forking. 
[6143A680][B30C2182]You did what had to be done to protect your city. You acted bravely. I admire you for that.
[6143A680][71FE168A]While I monitor your progress against the Vex and assist where I am able, I will observe these Fallen. 
[6143A680][B1201390]Have you heard the song of the people echoing through the City?
[6143A680][5FF54990]Ikora listened to my report, but she chose not to hear it—the Vanguard would rather protect its image than its people!
[6143A680][42708899]If they begin to act against us, well…
[6143A680][461D309B]You and I… we will speak more when this ugliness is behind us, after the Fallen have returned to space and this Endless Night is a memory.
[6143A680][E4A5AB9B]I look forward to working with you, Guardian. Together, we can protect our City from all who would wish it harm.
[6143A680][0371A8A4]I know they are your associates. What a City we would have if everyone's heart was as big as yours!
[6143A680][D06508AF]The Future War Cult has long used Vex-derived technology to see into the future. 
[6143A680][666F49B1]Suffice to say, we understand its dangers and use the device responsibly.
[6143A680][B59286B8]Hmm. The words of people reaching for dawn in this Endless Night. People who have still not given up hope. Neither have I.
[6143A680][C28D51C5]Tell it that the Future War Cult will personally replenish their supplies when they are ready to move on. I do not wish them to think badly of us.
[6143A680][A12BABC7]The City deserves someone who acts. Someone who does what is right, even if it is unpopular.
[6143A680][FADD39CC]And if you were wondering… this was not the conflict I have foreseen. No. That will come later… unless I can stop it.
[6143A680][BE2659CF]Hmm… when I requisitioned this transmitter, I was told the H.E.L.M. would be a secure location. I suppose this will have to do.
[6143A680][655964D1]"Rise up as one, march toward the sun…"
[6143A680][B6A411D7]When I foresaw the Red War, they laughed… until Ghaul bound the Traveler. 
[6143A680][FA5099DF]And so, I will handle things myself. 
[6143A680][8FE5D0E4]Ah, Guardian! I wanted to be among the first to send my regards. 
[6143A680][903EBDE7]A group of Fallen. The same Fallen I saw earlier. 
[6143A680][933119EC]We can change this future; stop it from happening. 
[6143A680][EF9D3FF1]Our city could use more heroes.
[8741A680][43E1E001]We’ve since discovered that Lakshmi-2, former leader of the Future War Cult, was responsible for the security breach.
[8741A680][58EAB804]Asher, Sloane, Cayde, Sagira… even Brother Vance.
[8741A680][3235D905]Future War Cult has learned, from Guardian sources, that the Endless Night is the work of the Hive God of Deceit… 
[8741A680][8A04AC06]Unfortunately, the current Vanguard will stop at nothing to protect their place in their ivory tower.
[8741A680][7E280D08]And for the first time, we'll share Solstice traditions with our Eliksni allies, who risked their lives to free us from the Endless Night.
[8741A680][C6FF9E0C]Commander Zavala and I have been touched by the generosity and kindness you've shown toward our new Eliksni neighbors. 
[8741A680][13CAFF0D]What we do know is that the Vanguard owes the people an honest and transparent explanation.
[8741A680][303E1C11]We will prove it by bringing those responsible to justice.
[8741A680][DCDE6813]But I propose something much stronger: faith. Faith that bravery is not just a Human quality. Faith that we are stronger together. 
[8741A680][B040ED13]This is not the first time. I warned you all of Ghaul before the Red Legion took our city during the Red War.
[8741A680][21582415]So it is with the Eliksni. 
[8741A680][B2F8B215]Ikora Rey claimed that the Fallen could stop the Endless Night. But on the contrary, they have only made things worse.
[8741A680][C9FB5B18]But only if we stand united for the betterment of all.
[8741A680][22589D18]People of the Last City: The Vanguard protects us from enemies outside our walls.
[8741A680][B41A2B19]House of Light is forever in your debt. You stood by us when we had no one. 
[8741A680][51748F19]This is a grave development, but we cannot give in to despair. Instead, let it propel us to action!
[8741A680][139B7C1B]One that Vanguard leadership wishes to keep from you.
[8741A680][EA2B0C1D]Walk the path of hardship with joy in your hearts. Be brave.
[8741A680][F4CA191F]Together with Mithrax and his Sacred Splicers, we can end the Endless Night.
[8741A680][931C701F]For the first time in our shared history, we need the Eliksni, and they need us. 
[8741A680][5D542923]Can't say I'm enjoying lying low, Commander. Reminds me of the old days.
[8741A680][C8884F29]People of the Last City: I come to you with an emergency announcement. 
[8741A680][0EECBE29]It is true that some have attacked our new home. It is true that some try to share their hate with us. It is always so.
[8741A680][6CA91A2A]Yet she continues to support these false alliances over her own people!
[8741A680][247A302A]But did you know they also protect us from information? 
[8741A680][A7BCC22C]Regrettably, Lakshmi was killed by Vex during the assault.
[8741A680][BB649E2E]But did you agree to shelter a mob of dangerous Fallen? 
[8741A680][1B7D9E2F]You have seen death at the hands of the Guardians—it was right to expect death in their house. 
[8741A680][7619A833]Did you know that the Fallen unleashed the Vex on Europa?
[8741A680][6D1F0337]If the Vanguard won't protect you, then we will.
[8741A680][EF2A5B38]But I said, and say again, that if we help them, they will help us. And here we are, alive.
[8741A680][4544CB38]The Light provides.
[8741A680][2BA6C83D]Misraaks likes this tradition. Eliksni too have many heroes.
[8741A680][DE7C0E43]People of the Last City: 
[8741A680][D7CFB34A]But hey, I'm nothing if not good at following orders.
[8741A680][6F8DB94A]In their absence, we are now one people—stronger—thanks to our alliance with the House Light.
[8741A680][5934174C]And here under the Great Machine is a new custom, called Solstice of Heroes. 
[8741A680][44DEF950]People of the Last City: I have some troubling news to share.
[8741A680][0DDF0F52]To those who mistrust our arrangement, let me remind you that this very city was founded by refugees.
[8741A680][A2FD2758]Now is the time for all to join in the Solstice, so past heroes can bring peace to the living.
[8741A680][DBA04758]These are not the actions of a democratic leader.
[8741A680][FDC68D59]It seems that the other faction leaders were culpable, if not responsible.
[8741A680][422D5A64]Make no mistake: an invasion is coming. And if we are to triumph, we must first take back our city.
[8741A680][0767E065]And finally, they tried to cover up Savathûn's involvement in it all!
[8741A680][D2E28066]These same Fallen are now inside our city, at the invitation of the Vanguard.
[8741A680][50DF8B66]Can we really spare the energy and resources to shelter our enemies while we are under Vex attack?
[8741A680][06358C67]Whether her lies are born of malice or incompetence matters not.
[8741A680][1A709667]The Light provides.
[8741A680][38059E67]Future War Cult and New Monarchy say: enough! We intend to return this city to its people.
[8741A680][B3BBDE68]I understand it's hard to put the violence of the past behind us, but the Vanguard's responsibility is to preserve a just peace.
[8741A680][2B014E69]You need not take my word for it. Simply look at their actions. 
[8741A680][CE2D976A]Ikora Rey knows all this and more. Her Hidden spies report as much. 
[8741A680][9662D56B]If it was my choice, I'd be there helping you get the Eliksni settled in the City.
[8741A680][03062375]Executor Hideo and Arach Jalaal have fled, taking the remainder of their factions with them.
[8741A680][608CE676]People of the Last City: the last time I spoke to you, I was silenced. 
[8741A680][B0E04E7E]Now, it seems that includes Fallen. Once they sieged our walls, and now, Ikora Rey throws open the gates. 
[8741A680][50302B80]Faith that the Vanguard and our Eliksni allies will break the Vex hold on our city. And we'll do it united, as one, for the good of all.
[8741A680][2CE6FA80]They force you to shelter a horde of Fallen, led by a fugitive with ties to the Vex. 
[8741A680][649FBC83]Savathûn! 
[8741A680][403D6284]No. Ikora Rey decided, without the people's consent, to allow House Light inside our walls. 
[8741A680][C5A90A85]This is Ikora Rey. I will NOT stand by while this hateful rhetoric goes unchallenged.
[8741A680][069D1D88]"Velask." That's how they say hello. Just so you know.
[8741A680][0CA42F88]People of the Last City: we are governed by a consensus. 
[8741A680][7245E58B]Without them, House of Light would die on Europa, far from the Great Machine.
[8741A680][53E5668C]Perhaps because he has no such power. Or perhaps because he's simply biding his time…
[8741A680][650BBD8D]It's even possible that the Witch Queen walks among them!
[8741A680][F286C88F]As some of you know, a portal was opened in the Eliksni quarter of the City, allowing Vex to breach our walls for the first time. 
[8741A680][12990D90]Might be hard to believe, but they're more like us than you think.
[8741A680][5FB9B190]A charitable act from a compassionate leader. But is it the right thing to do?  
[8741A680][E85C0291]Just… give them a chance. Like you did for me.
[8741A680][C67CFA91]The Vanguard have turned their backs on the Light, and now openly wield the Darkness.
[8741A680][BAE9DC92]Or so we thought.
[8741A680][236B1093]What matters is that I have gazed into the future and foreseen bodies in our streets.
[8741A680][B802A794]Can we afford to extend a peaceful hand to those who might bite it?
[8741A680][D6433A99]Enough! 
[8741A680][B3C27599]Clearly, Ikora Rey fears the ugly truth: the Vanguard have betrayed you.
[8741A680][BB7E8E9B]That they corrupt our Guardians with the poisoned gift of Stasis, tempting them to wield the Darkness?
[8741A680][3DEBC39B]Eliksni of the House Light, hear Misraaks now. I know many of you feared this place. 
[8741A680][932E919D]But if Eliksni feel Darkness inside, only look up to see the Great Machine, and know that House of Light is blessed. 
[8741A680][FC4241A0]We hang new banners. We follow new Kells. We weave new traditions.
[8741A680][C72A4DA0]The Solstice is a reminder that our victories belong not only to us, but to those who gave their lives along the way. 
[8741A680][E05585A1]The Last City has always been a place of refuge. 
[8741A680][EB4902A3]We sought shelter not only from alien aggressors, but from other Humans. 
[8741A680][F50D54A3]The same Fallen that spent a century stealing from us, besieging our city, and destroying our families?
[8741A680][4BB41DAC]May our heroes unite us, and lead us toward a brighter future… together.
[8741A680][F55A9AAE]Did you agree to suddenly forgive and forget?
[8741A680][3C913AB1]Thankfully, Guardians working together with Eliksni Splicers were able to repel the assault. 
[8741A680][F62D1ABB]Lakshmi would have you live in fear. Fear of the Eliksni. Fear of the future.
[8741A680][923D24BD]As leader of the Future War Cult, I have foreseen violence and strife within our walls.
[8741A680][2641EAC3]The bandits and warlords that profited from our suffering. 
[8741A680][45ED82C6]We cannot allow Zavala and Ikora Rey to sell our city to the Fallen while—
[8741A680][1D4F81CD]A democracy where the people have a say over what happens in their city.
[8741A680][F8A793CD]I am warning you again now. Are these newcomers the cause of our visions? That, we do not yet know.
[8741A680][D8052DD1]We're all blessed to have such friends in dark times. Humanity will not allow these hateful and ignorant acts to define us. 
[8741A680][F6FBD7D4]We also understand the reluctance some have shown toward their resettlement.
[8741A680][D3F212D5]She claims that this "Mithrax" can end the Vex curse. Then why has he not done so?
[8741A680][F52CA5D5]We must demand accountability from Vanguard leadership!
[8741A680][2CFC6FD6]Not for some, but for all. 
[8741A680][6B7F15E0]Eliksni of House Light: after the fall of Riis, we have had many homes. And in every new home, culture evolves. 
[8741A680][8DF4A2E2]Now we stand by the people of the Last City, in the grace of the Traveler, come what may.
[8741A680][D7E1ACE4]For centuries, the vulnerable have found shelter and security under the watchful eye of the Traveler. 
[8741A680][2F5B6FE6]They don't understand the people of the Last City. And their actions prove it.
[8741A680][7CCA26EF]I have gazed into the future using Vex technology and have seen only strife and conflict with the Fallen.
[8741A680][16BB0FF8][static]
[8741A680][3CDAFEFD]Unless we change course immediately, bloodshed is inevitable.
[8841A680][E7C73001]Lakshmi would have you live in fear. Fear of the Eliksni. Fear of the future.
[8841A680][FE567101]For centuries, the vulnerable have found shelter and security under the watchful eye of the Traveler. 
[8841A680][C8B5B901]The Light provides.
[8841A680][47374704]The Vanguard have turned their backs on the Light, and now openly wield the Darkness.
[8841A680][9E9DDC0A]May our heroes unite us, and lead us toward a brighter future… together.

[8841A680][7BF9BA93]"Velask." That's how they say hello. Just so you know.
[8841A680][C66C4E94]They don't understand the people of the Last City. And their actions prove it.
[8841A680][8D51B695]Together with Mithrax and his Sacred Splicers, we can end the Endless Night.
[8841A680][021D0B9A]I understand it's hard to put the violence of the past behind us, but the Vanguard's responsibility is to preserve a just peace.
[8841A680][CFA7119A]And for the first time, we'll share Solstice traditions with our Eliksni allies, who risked their lives to free us from the Endless Night.
[8841A680][6F24C79B]If it was my choice, I'd be there helping you get the Eliksni settled in the City.
[8841A680][0035D3A0]We cannot allow Zavala and Ikora Rey to sell our city to the Fallen while—
[8841A680][017ABAA1]Faith that the Vanguard and our Eliksni allies will break the Vex hold on our city. And we'll do it united, as one, for the good of all.
[8841A680][F7A009A5]Unfortunately, the current Vanguard will stop at nothing to protect their place in their ivory tower.
[8841A680][5193B8A5]The Last City has always been a place of refuge. 
[8841A680][DA230FA9]Perhaps because he has no such power. Or perhaps because he's simply biding his time…
[8841A680][48E9B7AA]Now we stand by the people of the Last City, in the grace of the Traveler, come what may.
[8841A680][96C7CCAE]For the first time in our shared history, we need the Eliksni, and they need us. 
[8841A680][23C6D8B0]We also understand the reluctance some have shown toward their resettlement.
[8841A680][EC64D4B2]It's even possible that the Witch Queen walks among them!
[8841A680][367593BA]But I said, and say again, that if we help them, they will help us. And here we are, alive.
[8841A680][8ABF66BC]But hey, I'm nothing if not good at following orders.
[8841A680][3AA35FBE]A charitable act from a compassionate leader. But is it the right thing to do?  
[8841A680][BD8324C0]People of the Last City: we are governed by a consensus. 
[8841A680][97EE82C1]Make no mistake: an invasion is coming. And if we are to triumph, we must first take back our city.
[8841A680][2B6A01C3]The bandits and warlords that profited from our suffering. 
[8841A680][771C02C3]Ikora Rey claimed that the Fallen could stop the Endless Night. But on the contrary, they have only made things worse.
[8841A680][A31F24CC]These same Fallen are now inside our city, at the invitation of the Vanguard.
[8841A680][A4CA12CD]This is a grave development, but we cannot give in to despair. Instead, let it propel us to action!
[8841A680][71BC9FCD]Just… give them a chance. Like you did for me.
[8841A680][17513ECE]Whether her lies are born of malice or incompetence matters not.
[8841A680][7BBB3FD3]Without them, House of Light would die on Europa, far from the Great Machine.
[8841A680][F5B0B5D6]We will prove it by bringing those responsible to justice.
[8841A680][6F8958D7]Might be hard to believe, but they're more like us than you think.
[8841A680][5DC7D2D7]Unless we change course immediately, bloodshed is inevitable.
[8841A680][6E210DDB]Executor Hideo and Arach Jalaal have fled, taking the remainder of their factions with them.
[8841A680][306159DE]The same Fallen that spent a century stealing from us, besieging our city, and destroying our families?
[8841A680][722E02E8]What we do know is that the Vanguard owes the people an honest and transparent explanation.
[8841A680][B406DEEA]We must demand accountability from Vanguard leadership!
[8841A680][AAA1B3EC]You need not take my word for it. Simply look at their actions. 
[8841A680][C6763CEE]But if Eliksni feel Darkness inside, only look up to see the Great Machine, and know that House of Light is blessed. 
[8841A680][7A35B5F8]In their absence, we are now one people—stronger—thanks to our alliance with the House Light.
[8841A680][7EB74CF9]You have seen death at the hands of the Guardians—it was right to expect death in their house. 
[8841A680][A0B684FA]So it is with the Eliksni. 
[8841A680][E9AF69FF]We hang new banners. We follow new Kells. We weave new traditions.
[5B42A680][C79E5200]This was meant for you.
[5B42A680][E46CA400]Mind the residue left behind after operation. I expect you Guardians to clean up after yourselves.
[5B42A680][238DDF03]Now where did I put that omni-tool…
[5B42A680][B06A4208]Forge statuses are unclear. They could have been stripped for parts, or could be operational in enemy hands—either way, we're out of leads.
[5B42A680][9043630A]Au revoir.
[5B42A680][CEE53C16]This should work.
[5B42A680][6B7FEB16]What is it you all say? Merry festival?
[5B42A680][EF23F118]Begin log—initial experiments in polyphasic recombination are discouraging. Perhaps another route is wiser…
[5B42A680][9E9E251B]I never imagined life without the Forges… but I suppose they're still here—the foundation for the Loom's technology.
[5B42A680][C5A5621B]See you next time, perhaps.
[5B42A680][9BA9F11D]The Armory was more than just the Forges. It was courage and action in the face of Darkness. That spirit must live on.
[5B42A680][EB66D728]The Spider… how well do you know our mutual friend? Not well enough, I'm sure.
[5B42A680][2B9E9A2A]Mother, if you're watching, I hope you know I'm doing everything I can.
[5B42A680][B923DF2A]It's just another new beginning. I've handled those well so far.
[5B42A680][3D484E2E]I am continuously fascinated by the choices you Guardians make when molding your Synthweave. Such… garishness.
[5B42A680][EBA70631]So am I supposed to give cookies out or… do I receive—I'm sorry, I don't have time for this.
[5B42A680][D8241B31]Every usage of the Loom is another batch of data for my research, and I need all I can get.
[5B42A680][EFA87031]I forget, are costumes part of this festival? Is that why you're here?
[5B42A680][F8FE4133]Excellent.
[5B42A680][875AB535]Welcome in, Warlock.
[5B42A680][93A2B543]It will take time to adjust to the sight of Fallen in the Last City, but their presence has its benefits—their scribes have shared some fascinating information.
[5B42A680][D8D7DA44]Nice to see you, Warlock.
[5B42A680][93AC2F45]When the darkness sought destruction of all things, the Black Armory persevered. Remember this Guardian.
[5B42A680][C761A745]How many of these Fallen lost a friend to a Black Armory weapon? A loved one? If I were them, I wouldn't easily let that go.
[5B42A680][88351C48]Hello again.
[5B42A680][AADB6148][sighs] I'm never going to have a chance to clean up in here, am I?
[5B42A680][5245A74F]You were a brilliant woman, Henriette. Being your daughter means the world to me.
[5B42A680][95E7AD53]I am the Black Armory. They can steal all the Forges they want, but they cannot have my hands or my mind.
[5B42A680][572E4859]You'll forgive me if I find these games… unnerving. The power you Guardians wield is a responsibility, not something to flaunt.
[5B42A680][B384035A]Anything you need, Titan.
[5B42A680][98CF0D5F]You know where to find me.
[5B42A680][A7242065]Thanks for coming back, Hunter.
[5B42A680][20BD7D66]Just breathe, Ada, just breathe… whatever that does for this body.
[5B42A680][E7B12C6A]I once believed the Forges could be our future, but I was wrong. They were just a step on the path. And now, we walk on.
[5B42A680][0BF5F46B]The Loom was your creation as well as mine, Guardian. Thank you for your aid.
[5B42A680][F526E36F]No, I will not be predicting which variety of superpowered warrior is the most proficient.
[5B42A680][CA80A575]You get Synthweave, I get research data. It's… how would you say it, a win-win?
[5B42A680][AE92AE78]Is this a mistake? Without the Forges—no, I cannot despair. There is no going back.
[5B42A680][5645C378]I am afraid this will all fail. It gnaws at the corners of my mind. But that is how I know it is important work.
[5B42A680][AF29E07A]When the Traveler acts, the world changes. For some, it gets better. For others, worse. What will its reformation bring?
[5B42A680][7DB6587B]Don't go without taking this.
[5B42A680][FAE51E7C]Adopting this new technology feels overwhelming. I barely understand it, but it's nice to have a clear challenge in front of me.
[5B42A680][14A5877E]Commander, I'd be forging you weapons if I could, but it's not an option anymore. I'm sorry.
[5B42A680][5EAB5F7F]You mean to tell me people enjoy these fake cobwebs? This brings them joy?
[5B42A680][B1A8F77F]So the strands get sequenced and… then what? [sighs] What I'd give to be working with stocks and barrels.
[5B42A680][AC19A280]Guardian… it's so nice to see you again.
[5B42A680][66E4ED80]Hm?
[5B42A680][3C9F0A83]Ah, my partner returns.
[5B42A680][6D25F783]Take this, please. I'm not a storage locker.
[5B42A680][1B2BCB84]I'm here next time you need me.
[5B42A680][F3FD568D]The Black Armory awaits your return.
[5B42A680][A130128E]Please keep your hands clear of the apparatus. Your Ghost might put you back together, but I'll have to fix your mess by hand.
[5B42A680][BCE81990]The Pyramids' approach fills me with dread, despite being surrounded by Guardians. I can't imagine what the Armory founders felt like during the Collapse.
[5B42A680][AB2D1E90]Have some strands to make use of?
[5B42A680][BB7B9994]Good of you to come by, Titan.
[5B42A680][C6C1529C]Approach. I have no time for shyness.
[5B42A680][7351959D]Remain vigilant, Ada. The Black Armory is depending on you.
[5B42A680][3E266F9E]I believe this belongs to you.
[5B42A680][604D9A9E]The Armory will not fade as long as I have anything to say about it.
[5B42A680][D55C95A2]I still don't understand a holiday devoted to those we've lost… as if they aren't with us every other day as well.
[5B42A680][6E47A5A2]Pardon the exposed machinery. And watch where you walk.
[5B42A680][033BB5A2]Hunter.
[5B42A680][C71496A4][sings] Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises, et gai rossignol, et merle moqueur. Seront tous en fête! 
[5B42A680][CC348CB0]I know what it's like to feel threatened by Lightbearers. Whatever unease you feel towards our Fallen guests, know that they feel the same.
[5B42A680][125932BD]I have never put faith in the Traveler, but I am starting to trust in its Guardians.
[5B42A680][C9636FBE]Plumbing through BrayTech schematics is like learning a new language. I feel… lost sometimes.
[5B42A680][4AEA9FC3][deep breath] So many Guardians. Still gets to me sometimes.
[5B42A680][0057D5C3]Welcome. In need of a new threader?
[5B42A680][47E455C7]I believe this is where I wish you a happy Dawning, Guardian.
[5B42A680][23A09CC9]Then this one connects over—what? How could the couplings be different sizes?! That doesn't make any—ugh!
[5B42A680][74FCAECA]I've never much cared for the Dawning. But that Eva makes the whole thing quite… charming.
[5B42A680][E28094CB]The Loom has quite a different aesthetic from the old Armory tech, doesn't it? It's… growing on me.
[5B42A680][E20DB4D2]The founders of the Black Armory were visionaries. Inventors. If the Armory is going to survive, I must be the same.
[5B42A680][4AB762D3]Warlock.
[5B42A680][F298D0DA]Ah, there you are. I have something for you.
[5B42A680][FDF9A2DC]I'm an armorer, not a physicist. How am I supposed to— [sighs] Let's try it again.
[5B42A680][27F362DF]What can I do for you today, Hunter?
[5B42A680][D1C416E3]The Black Armory thanks you.
[5B42A680][071814E7]I'll be here.
[5B42A680][76ECB4EC]Come visit again soon.
[5B42A680][0F963DED]Please take this off my hands.
[5B42A680][12DEBFED]The Loom awaits, Guardian.
[5B42A680][B4DCABF0]I've been waiting for you. 
[5B42A680][98D902F1]Proceed.
[5B42A680][9969AEF4]Maybe this can fabricate parts to remake Volundr… no, that's not the way. We need new solutions.
[5B42A680][2F5F1DF5]A triangular splice improves rigidity, but reduces tensile strength. Interesting…
[5B42A680][0A75E0F6]Such wondrous science… to think Clovis left this in the garbage in favor of his vain pursuits. Pure arrogance.
[5B42A680][8011D5F9]Please watch your step—this is a lab, not a lounge.
[5B42A680][445C91FA]I've been able to watch our Fallen guests repairing their armaments. The methods are unorthodox, but the craftsmanship is admirable.
[5B42A680][A684FEFA]Maybe if the threading algorithm was layered… no, that still won't work.
[5B42A680][464220FC]I'm sorry, was I supposed to get you a gift?
[5B42A680][DE0C0AFD]Be swift.
[5B42A680][52DCF3FD]Why should I fear Stasis? I've seen the Light used by Warlords and Guardians alike, for evil and good. A new tool doesn't change the wielder.
[5C42A680][31230002]Mind the residue left behind after operation. I expect you Guardians to clean up after yourselves.
[5C42A680][8E81FF03][sings] Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises, et gai rossignol, et merle moqueur. Seront tous en fête! 
[5C42A680][778BFF09][deep breath] So many Guardians. Still gets to me sometimes.

[5C42A680][2481F2DE]Please keep your hands clear of the apparatus. Your Ghost might put you back together, but I'll have to fix your mess by hand.
[5C42A680][887B6DE5]See you next time, perhaps.
[5C42A680][7139CFE5]You know where to find me.
[5C42A680][B26122E8]The Armory was more than just the Forges. It was courage and action in the face of Darkness. That spirit must live on.
[5C42A680][B79E78EA]The Loom has quite a different aesthetic from the old Armory tech, doesn't it? It's… growing on me.
[5C42A680][33436AEC]I believe this belongs to you.
[5C42A680][AC0333FD]The Black Armory thanks you.
[5C42A680][6642C5FE]Hunter.
[E544A680][6D88AF03]Please, Guardian. Seize more data from the Vex, and let us shatter this foul night.
[E544A680][23923208]We—everything—can begin to heal.
[E544A680][628A230C]They cannot be manipulated… and yet something is doing just that. 
[E544A680][8CB9570C]It has been draining the energy from this city… we do not yet know why.
[E544A680][2B81AF0E]In the same way it went unseen by the mighty Osiris.
[E544A680][70AD150F]For the Light is all: the wind through the grass and the motion of galaxies.
[E544A680][1318270F]I have heard the transmissions she records for the City's people, and I know she is… skeptical of the Eliksni.
[E544A680][AE250E10]I wish my news was not so grave…
[E544A680][096D1E10]The Light always shines through in the end. But for now, the work must begin again. Go.
[E544A680][12392410]The Splicers feel Quria's spirit. Hollow. Calculating. Taken. 
[E544A680][9B357611]The Light passes through us all… we focus it through the prism of our will. 
[E544A680][608AF11B]That is what we will remember tonight as fear and hunger gnaw at us. As our hatchlings sleep in ashes. 
[E544A680][823C5F1E]Quria serves the Witch Queen Savathûn. It is she who is responsible for the Endless Night. 
[E544A680][3B1DA81E]We are settling into your City. You may have seen the work of the House of Light Scribe, Eido, my daughter. 
[E544A680][34AB7820]Just as we must act with purpose now. To find a way to reach Quria and end it.
[E544A680][EC19B221]Bring me data from within, and together, we will discover its secrets.
[E544A680][1C16F821]Dangerous. Ambitious. Assume capture is successful, captivity would prove difficult.
[E544A680][67613626]It is as though a fog pushes in from cold water… it could be the soft voice of my doubt, here in this false night.
[E544A680][38AC1D27]We now must focus on the Vex. The machines do not stop to consider our situation, and neither should you. 
[E544A680][41493328]Safer to eradicate. 
[E544A680][9C0E5028]Those who attacked us were blinded by fear, poisoned by venomous words—
[E544A680][3344DF29]We know the name of the sickness in the heart of the network. Quria strangles the Light. 
[E544A680][BCB2082A]I will aid if I can. I will not be proud, but let the citizens see that we are suffering with them. 
[E544A680][596D2130]Guardian, I greet you in the Light. It is I, Misraaks… or "Mithrax," as your people say. 
[E544A680][E5D14C30]I think of my Light as a torch, a beacon. Yours, though… I see as a weapon. I say this with respect. 
[E544A680][DBBE1B34]No Splicer could stand before a being of such power… but then, you Guardians are like no Splicers before you. 
[E544A680][7FE90C35]The Ether it pulls from defeated foes will let you override the Vex signals. Push back and enter the machine domain, as you did on Europa.
[E544A680][DC231436]When you are ready, I will guide you to where the Vex are most vulnerable.
[E544A680][49735D36]I saw one of our young run across his path. The Saint raised a hand in greeting, and the hatchling recoiled and fled. 
[E544A680][B4C7E536]Guardian, I greet you in the Light, even if darkness hangs overhead.
[E544A680][9851AE3A]Ikora and Osiris have thoughts, but the details do not change the truth: Quria must be stopped.
[E544A680][073A703C]I do not know how many must fall to end this simulation they have created, but the data they guard hides the answer. 
[E544A680][7A58933F]Their focus is unpredictable. This frustrates me… 
[E544A680][6BC43640]I was given a message about Lakshmi-2, she of the Future War Cult.
[E544A680][2C040A41]We will have a beautiful sunrise.
[E544A680][2A805641]Hmm. If my experience and wisdom can aid you in Quria's capture, you may have it.
[E544A680][B16DD946]Supplies spoil more quickly—the air leeches life from all we have. I have never seen corruption like this. It is… unknown to me. 
[E544A680][D7135F4C]I greet you in the Light, my friend.
[E544A680][0E74F74C]Though this journey may be over, I hope we can still walk together.
[E544A680][995B5C4E]We will study it together—this is my word in the Light.
[E544A680][FA93B350]It is forcing its terrors upon us… and if it succeeds, there will be nothing left. 
[E544A680][82087452]You must continue to enter their network; destroy what you find inside. 
[E544A680][EFE31653]I am a Sacred Splicer, one who can touch the Light rippling through the Vex networks… 
[E544A680][E0DBE255]Consecrate their network—purify it.
[E544A680][2C990556]It fuels our camp now, turning raw matter into the Ether we need to survive.
[E544A680][A448DB57]Guardian. I greet you in the Light.
[E544A680][0F4FEE57]There have been no more attacks from inside the walls. 
[E544A680][CAE68F5B]Do not waste your energies on us. My Eliksni have been through much, but cruel words and thoughtless deeds will not break us. 
[E544A680][816C685C]The people hear of your triumphs against the Vex, but they see only dark skies above. 
[E544A680][B81AB25C]Quria lurks at the center of this false night. All threads leading to it are dark and thick, covered in black oil. 
[E544A680][03F7F65D]Of course, Misraaks observes the City's guidance. You and the Guardian speak with Ikora.
[E544A680][D7A3655F]I felt this when you first walked through the network.
[E544A680][10459B60]If we are to survive this long night, we must be able to see one another as what we truly are.
[E544A680][9672E060]But fear stopped my words.
[E544A680][FD8AFD60]The Vex gather their forces, but we can break through their security. Enter their realm, then… use your Light.
[E544A680][C1B20E61]Be cautious now, Guardian. Darkness is coming for you. Shine your Light on the truth.
[E544A680][80A37462]She should know the image of the Saint we use to chase evil is only a story.
[E544A680][31F77462]They were focused badly. Bent badly. But they are not truly our enemies. 
[E544A680][DD51A866]The Sacred Splicer must know the Vex—must understand what can and cannot be bent, yes? 
[E544A680][4AD49968]The dark brings sickness now. Few can find sleep. 
[E544A680][E7AC196B]The Vex will send powerful foes against you, but be not swayed. Keep to the path.
[E544A680][1EC0B76D]Death surrounds this place—the true death—which always starts from within.
[E544A680][C1BE5F6F]You pushed into their system, and something malevolent pushed back.
[E544A680][4BF61070]Let us continue our work.
[E544A680][8D9D1D72]There is comfort in that, yes. But I fear this Endless Night will grow even more terrible before we see the sun again.
[E544A680][03D85E74]We will not be led to violence, no matter how wide the path. 
[E544A680][C5128875]I see you have overcome the Vex again. We are both doing what we must.
[E544A680][F73ECD78]From what I know of the Great Machine, it would not create a weapon without needing to use it.
[E544A680][ACAE417A]The network connection cannot be broken without destroying your city. Both are bound now, and one must fall for the other to survive.
[E544A680][9594C27B]The things we could learn were we to capture it. Think, Mithrax.
[E544A680][83C4AA7D]You, Guardian. Strike the Vex now, with great force, so that I may see Quria through your ripples.
[E544A680][60D4847E]Your powers grow to fight the Vex, but still their offense increases. 
[E544A680][7454977E]I greet you in the Light, Guardian.  
[E544A680][CBA1D281]The path leads you to me once more, Guardian.
[E544A680][CB1B9784]For the sake of all.
[E544A680][73B19C85]Know this: I will not stop fighting for those in this city—even those who did this. 
[E544A680][9C2F6687]I speak to you through a Servitor we liberated from the House of Salvation. 
[E544A680][6037BF89]Fitting, as the distrust between my people and yours will not vanish in a single act, but slowly, over time.
[E544A680][0DB1878A]When we last spoke, I saw your potential. Now that you have returned, I see your resilience.
[E544A680][CC32888A]This has gone on too long, Guardian. None can spend so long in the night. 
[E544A680][43208D8B]They are like the seasons, or the great seas: they surge and flow like a primal force. 
[E544A680][176F428D]You have united us in your Light, Guardian. It was my honor to watch you grow into a Sacred Splicer. 
[E544A680][6816BA8D]We should learn from your example. We struggle to make a home under this Endless Night. 
[E544A680][9531FC8D]I will use it to study the Paradrome Cube you recovered from the Vex. In this way, it will provide for us both.
[E544A680][059AE18F]We Sacred Splicers study the Vex. We learn to move through them like tall grass. But these, they are strange to me. 
[E544A680][B4E64992]I can see the data streams as you walk through their space, but I cannot see from where they flow. 
[E544A680][83035292]But it could be something greater, something no Splicer has encountered before.
[E544A680][6BBE2293]I feel a strong hand pull against the threads tied to everyone living in this city. 
[E544A680][C2A06D93]There are rumors she uses Vex technology to look upon tomorrow. This is dangerous, forbidden by my people. 
[E544A680][69ECBD94]I have not spoken with the Saint, but I believe hearing my story softened him somehow.
[E544A680][6D94C494]But I see the Great Machine hanging above, and I worry. This Endless Night has greater purpose.
[E544A680][110C4397]Charge your Gauntlet, focus your mind, and walk further into the Light than ever before.
[E544A680][72C88E97]I have heard your people say, "It is darkest before the dawn."
[E544A680][9A3EE997]They are being bent… and some may break.
[E544A680][4DE89F99]They are difficult to predict—they do not behave as they should. 
[E544A680][5D670B9B]The Light is fading, Guardian.
[E544A680][2F4401A0]They seek to use their simulation to drain the Light from this place—bend it to their will. Just as you seek to disrupt their network. 
[E544A680][609134A1]After studying the data you brought, I have found a new path for you to walk. 
[E544A680][B27B2DA4]It does not bend it as we Splicers do, but twists it, shatters it, and pushes the shards through the skin of reality.
[E544A680][C6156EA6]It may seek the destruction of your city, or of your Vanguard… or something even greater may be at stake.
[E544A680][BE1186A6]I believe I am close, but I must focus. 
[E544A680][7B57B1A7]I hope to make trust with her.
[E544A680][5F8DC5A7]But first, we must find it. I have reached into its domain, but the Vex forces break my sight.
[E544A680][4C17DEAE]But there is hope. Every Vex you destroy sends ripples across this false-dark sky.
[E544A680][9CF87FB0]We will not seek vengeance—we are not the monsters some believe us to be. 
[E544A680][DAE704B2]I can still improve your Gauntlet, and your Splicer training must continue. 
[E544A680][5BB64EB4]I will reach out to this child. She acted out of fear and was unkind.
[E544A680][FCEDC8B4]Quria will be your target. Be ready… for there is no doubt it is.
[E544A680][F55337B8]I do not know what it is, or why it has targeted your city. 
[E544A680][5DDD37BF]It lurks between realities as a blade between carapace plates.
[E544A680][E59D5BBF]We were correct that an unseen hand was guiding the Vex. Quria, the Dreaming Mind, brought this Endless Night with it.
[E544A680][E7D125C0]Each victory cuts one of the threads that hold this Endless Night in place.
[E544A680][9D6490C0]Fight bravely. Free your people from this Endless Night.
[E544A680][1A1F8AC7]I feel Quria's vile presence pulsing in the heart of their network.
[E544A680][704490C7]Yes, my Eliksni are here, warm, safe inside high walls. But this Endless Night, it is like a weapon. It attacks the heart. 
[E544A680][56E5B8C7]I have no words left to speak. Lakshmi-2, the Saint… I do not know if I reached them.
[E544A680][EE5BB9C7] Osiris wishes that she gains full access to the Vex data you gather. 
[E544A680][F2F847C8]Walking the path of the Light takes strength. 
[E544A680][C7D445C9]Eliksni will continue to refine a strategy.
[E544A680][CBB1DAC9]This city holds great scholars and warriors. Ikora, Osiris, Lakshmi-2, even… the Saint.
[E544A680][D31AC7CE]Your Splicer mastery has been growing. The Great Machine is unknowable, but I believe it acts with purpose…
[E544A680][1288B8CF]I think they guard powerful secrets. Tighten your Gauntlet, and let us take them.
[E544A680][945FFBCF]I wanted to shout, "Have you been beneath the Great Machine so long that you cannot survive without its bounty?" 
[E544A680][0D8870D2]This Endless Night presses down on us all. I hear the City groan with the strain.
[E544A680][D26DB2D4]Sacred Splicers must see the invisible machinery at work around us, to understand its beauty and flaws… and our place within it.
[E544A680][A674D9D5]I thought its defeat would have driven the Endless Night from our skies. We must trust it will fade, instead.
[E544A680][31EC77D6]For us all. For everything. Please.
[E544A680][06D348D9]She has been creating a chronicle of our journey… but there will be time for that later.
[E544A680][FDD35FD9]An invisible foe sieges your people, so they look desperately for an enemy.
[E544A680][CA5F68DA]I have prepared something for you: a Splicer Gauntlet, the first made for a non-Eliksni.
[E544A680][AD2DC8DC]I spoke my heart-words to all who would hear: we have no anger within us.
[E544A680][462F6FE0]Quria is no more. The threads of its influence lay limp across the weft of this reality.  
[E544A680][A74346E1]I will confer with Ikora to find us the best course of action.
[E544A680][8AEBD0E1]This area is a crossroads—many threads connect this city to the Vex. 
[E544A680][7E412AE2]In this way, I can see into the Vex domain. But you… [sighs] Your abilities might grow beyond mine.
[E544A680][2D3E8EE2]In truth, I do not know if I even reach you… Hm. Ah, the darkness of this night weighs on me more than any other.
[E544A680][FD50B1E2]But I can confirm that it is the Taken Vex mind, Quria, at the center of the simulation that plagues this city.
[E544A680][7B80A5E3]But while you fight for survival, their motives are… unclear.
[E544A680][A94B1BE4]I wished to confer with you and the Guardian privately.
[E544A680][88DB18E5]I agreed. I hope my cooperation will show her we are not like the old Houses.
[E544A680][33F182E6]I have faith they will see us for who we are. 
[E544A680][7677C9E6]Capture? Quria is discordant and must be exorcised if the Great Machine's sky is to shine again—
[E544A680][D20DDDE6]The Saint watched it run—the reaction seemed to wound him. 
[E544A680][38D860E9] And after so long with nothing, my people finally have something to lose.
[E544A680][2A73F0E9]But if it will show her we walk together in peace, I will give her all that she asks. 
[E544A680][CC9AC0EA]The Vex will try to stop you, but you are not one who can be stopped.
[E544A680][001779EE]Guardian. Light guides your path… though I believe darkness lies ahead for you. 
[E544A680][DCA10BF0]There is no mistake.
[E544A680][88AB5AF3]They have agreed to aid in your fight against the machines. And I will be your guide.
[E544A680][7ECE95F5]Osiris? I did not know you had access to this channel.
[E544A680][8DD1F0F8]I expected your assaults to weaken the Vex, but I reach into the network now and it pulls—hungry, greedy—like slogging through mud.
[E544A680][D15C54F9]Are you certain of your data? After all, Savathûn is known for her deceptions.
[E544A680][18E0A2F9]Guardian. Earlier, I could not speak openly to Osiris. To… the Saint. 
[E544A680][93BE14FB]How did you miss this? 
[E544A680][DB6277FE]I have felt your conflicts with the Vex from here, and your victories. 
[E644A680][89A41301]Consecrate their network—purify it.
[E644A680][967A4502]The path leads you to me once more, Guardian.
[E644A680][98A9D602]We were correct that an unseen hand was guiding the Vex. Quria, the Dreaming Mind, brought this Endless Night with it.
[E644A680][F0E60104]We Sacred Splicers study the Vex. We learn to move through them like tall grass. But these, they are strange to me.

[E644A680][1BB14406]I thought its defeat would have driven the Endless Night from our skies. We must trust it will fade, instead.
[E644A680][1B219707]Death surrounds this place—the true death—which always starts from within.

[E644A680][DF46F111]But if it will show her we walk together in peace, I will give her all that she asks. 
[E644A680][EA0E5617]You have united us in your Light, Guardian. It was my honor to watch you grow into a Sacred Splicer. 
[E644A680][C2415D19]Let us continue our work.
[E644A680][5A5DDC1A]The Ether it pulls from defeated foes will let you override the Vex signals. Push back and enter the machine domain, as you did on Europa.
[E644A680][435E991C]In this way, I can see into the Vex domain. But you… [sighs] Your abilities might grow beyond mine.
[E644A680][138CCF1C]Hmm. If my experience and wisdom can aid you in Quria's capture, you may have it.
[E644A680][E3EFCE20]You must continue to enter their network; destroy what you find inside. 
[E644A680][8188D126]Fitting, as the distrust between my people and yours will not vanish in a single act, but slowly, over time.
[E644A680][22A20C2E]There have been no more attacks from inside the walls. 
[E644A680][14DA4D33]This Endless Night presses down on us all. I hear the City groan with the strain.

[E644A680][66ACD234]I felt this when you first walked through the network.
[E644A680][4FE22B35]It does not bend it as we Splicers do, but twists it, shatters it, and pushes the shards through the skin of reality.
[E644A680][4BB91D37]Osiris? I did not know you had access to this channel.
[E644A680][107D1D38]I think of my Light as a torch, a beacon. Yours, though… I see as a weapon. I say this with respect.

[E644A680][BC8C2A3D]I see you have overcome the Vex again. We are both doing what we must.
[E644A680][4FC70A3E]But fear stopped my words.
[E644A680][FE6D4140]I will confer with Ikora to find us the best course of action.
[E644A680][F1AB3342]We will not seek vengeance—we are not the monsters some believe us to be. 
[E644A680][9EE65E42]Each victory cuts one of the threads that hold this Endless Night in place.
[E644A680][89CA9843]I greet you in the Light, Guardian.  
[E644A680][22DFF743]It is as though a fog pushes in from cold water… it could be the soft voice of my doubt, here in this false night.
[E644A680][9253A245]The Light passes through us all… we focus it through the prism of our will. 
[E644A680][6DC07A46]Guardian, I greet you in the Light, even if darkness hangs overhead.
[E644A680][10730247]The Light always shines through in the end. But for now, the work must begin again. Go.
[E644A680][F676C447]I will reach out to this child. She acted out of fear and was unkind.
[E644A680][AD748B48]Dangerous. Ambitious. Assume capture is successful, captivity would prove difficult.
[E644A680][A9225849]This has gone on too long, Guardian. None can spend so long in the night. 
[E644A680][4EB89E4B]This city holds great scholars and warriors. Ikora, Osiris, Lakshmi-2, even… the Saint.
[E644A680][8991434C]Quria will be your target. Be ready… for there is no doubt it is.
[E644A680][30A8CC4E]I expected your assaults to weaken the Vex, but I reach into the network now and it pulls—hungry, greedy—like slogging through mud.
[E644A680][3A4F434F]I feel a strong hand pull against the threads tied to everyone living in this city. 
[E644A680][688CF04F]But I see the Great Machine hanging above, and I worry. This Endless Night has greater purpose.
[E644A680][B5325C53]The network connection cannot be broken without destroying your city. Both are bound now, and one must fall for the other to survive.
[E644A680][A185EE53]I wanted to shout, "Have you been beneath the Great Machine so long that you cannot survive without its bounty?" 
[E644A680][F6A25E58]Eliksni will continue to refine a strategy.
[E644A680][07A2EE58]Do not waste your energies on us. My Eliksni have been through much, but cruel words and thoughtless deeds will not break us. 
[E644A680][0DAEFA58]The Vex will try to stop you, but you are not one who can be stopped.
[E644A680][D2A8C559]I hope to make trust with her.
[E644A680][97F1F159]The dark brings sickness now. Few can find sleep. 
[E644A680][3A4A605B]The Vex will send powerful foes against you, but be not swayed. Keep to the path.
[E644A680][87DC895B]She has been creating a chronicle of our journey… but there will be time for that later.
[E644A680][04D9BD5B]They are difficult to predict—they do not behave as they should. 
[E644A680][57A9885C]There are rumors she uses Vex technology to look upon tomorrow. This is dangerous, forbidden by my people. 
[E644A680][F8B3085D]Safer to eradicate. 
[E644A680][6DC40461]Ikora and Osiris have thoughts, but the details do not change the truth: Quria must be stopped.
[E644A680][7915D361]Yes, my Eliksni are here, warm, safe inside high walls. But this Endless Night, it is like a weapon. It attacks the heart. 
[E644A680][6C482E63]In truth, I do not know if I even reach you… Hm. Ah, the darkness of this night weighs on me more than any other.
[E644A680][4BE32B65]Quria is no more. The threads of its influence lay limp across the weft of this reality.  
[E644A680][39845E69]It fuels our camp now, turning raw matter into the Ether we need to survive.
[E644A680][DC569A6B]The Light is fading, Guardian.
[E644A680][291BED71]We should learn from your example. We struggle to make a home under this Endless Night. 
[E644A680][16A9FD71]In the same way it went unseen by the mighty Osiris.
[E644A680][6F87CE74]I wish my news was not so grave…
[E644A680][F19A3576]For the Light is all: the wind through the grass and the motion of galaxies.
[E644A680][0B964A76]I think they guard powerful secrets. Tighten your Gauntlet, and let us take them.
[E644A680][4278D676]We will not be led to violence, no matter how wide the path. 
[E644A680][C9448F77]When you are ready, I will guide you to where the Vex are most vulnerable.
[E644A680][C5C14978]Guardian. I greet you in the Light.
[E644A680][469F1679]Your Splicer mastery has been growing. The Great Machine is unknowable, but I believe it acts with purpose…
[E644A680][369D7779]Know this: I will not stop fighting for those in this city—even those who did this. 
[E644A680][FAE9227C]I do not know how many must fall to end this simulation they have created, but the data they guard hides the answer. 
[E644A680][289E7B7C]The things we could learn were we to capture it. Think, Mithrax.
[E644A680][55052881]Bring me data from within, and together, we will discover its secrets.
[E644A680][215EC981]That is what we will remember tonight as fear and hunger gnaw at us. As our hatchlings sleep in ashes. 
[E644A680][801E5B82]We will study it together—this is my word in the Light.
[E644A680][E3132683]Though this journey may be over, I hope we can still walk together.
[E644A680][CE30A184]I greet you in the Light, my friend.
[E644A680][9DA52188]I can see the data streams as you walk through their space, but I cannot see from where they flow. 
[E644A680][181F3388]I have not spoken with the Saint, but I believe hearing my story softened him somehow.
[E644A680][ACF43289]I will use it to study the Paradrome Cube you recovered from the Vex. In this way, it will provide for us both.
[E644A680][26436A89]You, Guardian. Strike the Vex now, with great force, so that I may see Quria through your ripples.
[E644A680][FA437889]We—everything—can begin to heal.
[E644A680][C767D589]Walking the path of the Light takes strength. 
[E644A680][C6EC1D8B]They seek to use their simulation to drain the Light from this place—bend it to their will. Just as you seek to disrupt their network. 
[E644A680][1F03A38E] Osiris wishes that she gains full access to the Vex data you gather. 
[E644A680][EC01DC94]When we last spoke, I saw your potential. Now that you have returned, I see your resilience.
[E644A680][112B0095]We will have a beautiful sunrise.
[E644A680][FF899597]I have heard your people say, "It is darkest before the dawn."
[E644A680][69569D97]Just as we must act with purpose now. To find a way to reach Quria and end it.
[E644A680][56B8349A]From what I know of the Great Machine, it would not create a weapon without needing to use it.
[E644A680][FE61AE9A]But while you fight for survival, their motives are… unclear.
[E644A680][ED650C9B]Your powers grow to fight the Vex, but still their offense increases. 
[E644A680][5950C09D]After studying the data you brought, I have found a new path for you to walk. 
[E644A680][1FB71F9F]The Saint watched it run—the reaction seemed to wound him. 
[E644A680][B74C9D9F]I feel Quria's vile presence pulsing in the heart of their network.
[E644A680][E67B30A0]But it could be something greater, something no Splicer has encountered before.
[E644A680][7FE75CA0]I believe I am close, but I must focus. 
[E644A680][6FFAD2A2]They cannot be manipulated… and yet something is doing just that. 
[E644A680][6C003FA3]You pushed into their system, and something malevolent pushed back.
[E644A680][A9B738A5] And after so long with nothing, my people finally have something to lose.
[E644A680][529AD7A6]I have felt your conflicts with the Vex from here, and your victories. 
[E644A680][E8A62DA8]But I can confirm that it is the Taken Vex mind, Quria, at the center of the simulation that plagues this city.
[E644A680][408F8BA9]Fight bravely. Free your people from this Endless Night.
[E644A680][608706AB]I do not know what it is, or why it has targeted your city. 
[E644A680][CAFBC1AE]I am a Sacred Splicer, one who can touch the Light rippling through the Vex networks… 
[E644A680][E29F17AF]But first, we must find it. I have reached into its domain, but the Vex forces break my sight.
[E644A680][18E3ACB0]The Sacred Splicer must know the Vex—must understand what can and cannot be bent, yes? 
[E644A680][E302E4B1]They are being bent… and some may break.
[E644A680][3E05E5B1]Of course, Misraaks observes the City's guidance. You and the Guardian speak with Ikora.
[E644A680][42AD51B6]I have faith they will see us for who we are. 
[E644A680][55DB14B7]I speak to you through a Servitor we liberated from the House of Salvation. 
[E644A680][66FC7CB7]We are settling into your City. You may have seen the work of the House of Light Scribe, Eido, my daughter. 
[E644A680][387B8CBB]Please, Guardian. Seize more data from the Vex, and let us shatter this foul night.
[E644A680][6D36D3BC]She should know the image of the Saint we use to chase evil is only a story.
[E644A680][C03201BF]Supplies spoil more quickly—the air leeches life from all we have. I have never seen corruption like this. It is… unknown to me. 
[E644A680][57BC03C2]Capture? Quria is discordant and must be exorcised if the Great Machine's sky is to shine again—
[E644A680][3F6225C3]I have prepared something for you: a Splicer Gauntlet, the first made for a non-Eliksni.
[E644A680][D180E1C3]If we are to survive this long night, we must be able to see one another as what we truly are.
[E644A680][FBEDD0C5]It is forcing its terrors upon us… and if it succeeds, there will be nothing left. 
[E644A680][8ED7D2C8]They are like the seasons, or the great seas: they surge and flow like a primal force. 
[E644A680][15864FC9]I will aid if I can. I will not be proud, but let the citizens see that we are suffering with them. 
[E644A680][B1214FCA]Quria lurks at the center of this false night. All threads leading to it are dark and thick, covered in black oil. 
[E644A680][B12EA0CC]Those who attacked us were blinded by fear, poisoned by venomous words—
[E644A680][C078CDCD]Guardian, I greet you in the Light. It is I, Misraaks… or "Mithrax," as your people say. 
[E644A680][1266D3D0]No Splicer could stand before a being of such power… but then, you Guardians are like no Splicers before you. 
[E644A680][68D3A3D1]For us all. For everything. Please.
[E644A680][2F92AFD1]This area is a crossroads—many threads connect this city to the Vex. 
[E644A680][428B67D2]How did you miss this? 
[E644A680][31D2BED5]I agreed. I hope my cooperation will show her we are not like the old Houses.
[E644A680][6F4CD7D5]I can still improve your Gauntlet, and your Splicer training must continue. 
[E644A680][73B9A7DA]It may seek the destruction of your city, or of your Vanguard… or something even greater may be at stake.
[E644A680][82F8EDDA]We know the name of the sickness in the heart of the network. Quria strangles the Light. 
[E644A680][044FB3DF]Charge your Gauntlet, focus your mind, and walk further into the Light than ever before.
[E644A680][810DF7DF]Guardian. Light guides your path… though I believe darkness lies ahead for you. 
[E644A680][4C8029E0]It lurks between realities as a blade between carapace plates.
[E644A680][E98D3BE1]There is no mistake.
[E644A680][B6147BE4]I have heard the transmissions she records for the City's people, and I know she is… skeptical of the Eliksni.
[E644A680][A2D384E7]I was given a message about Lakshmi-2, she of the Future War Cult.
[E644A680][F5A410E9]They have agreed to aid in your fight against the machines. And I will be your guide.
[E644A680][A1A72DEB]We now must focus on the Vex. The machines do not stop to consider our situation, and neither should you. 
[E644A680][B1B472EF]It has been draining the energy from this city… we do not yet know why.
[E644A680][FC991AF0]They were focused badly. Bent badly. But they are not truly our enemies. 
[E644A680][137CC5F0]Quria serves the Witch Queen Savathun. It is she who is responsible for the Endless Night. 
[E644A680][6C8593F1]An invisible foe sieges your people, so they look desperately for an enemy.
[E644A680][F4FD90F2]I spoke my heart-words to all who would hear: we have no anger within us.
[E644A680][9237F0F3]For the sake of all.
[E644A680][D035DFF9]I wished to confer with you and the Guardian privately.
[E644A680][C868B4FA]Be cautious now, Guardian. Darkness is coming for you. Shine your Light on the truth.
[E644A680][407552FB]The Vex gather their forces, but we can break through their security. Enter their realm, then… use your Light.

[5A34CF80][6BD6CB3D]The hurricane battered me with a ferocity beyond any foe I had met, battered harder than the roiling chaos in my mind that drove me here, to the ends of the system, in search of— 

"Calm," whispered the Voidwalker. "Burn!" roared the Dawnblade. All I could hear was the impassive voices of my teachers, encouraging me (ordering me?) to find my path, find it soon, no matter the risk, because we can never know when it will all be taken away again, when the storm will overtake us. Words, buffeting me like the hail that pelted my face as I pushed through the howling winds, forced my way through to the eye of— 

Peace. 

The stillness of the hurricane's eye prickled my skin and brought with it realization. We don't have to choose between the calm and the storm. In fact, to have either, we must have both. 

That was the day I first called the storm.

[020DA880][F3F139FD]Your legend precedes you. I've heard how you walked worlds and rained down fury. In the briefest span of time, you have made the Tower whisper of Warlocks again.

[C82DA880][805EE80A]Where the Darkness seeks to divide us, we need only offer out a hand.
[C82DA880][19D68E16]For now, I'm overturning all Hidden records and full archival access to Osiris… but no one else.
[C82DA880][E35EEB16]Saint-14 is already en route to investigate. I trust him, but he is torn between duty and doubt. And Lakshmi… 
[C82DA880][98E12618]Perhaps she means to sow fear and suspicion among us.
[C82DA880][242BA118]Continue your Splicer training with Mithrax. Use it to root Savathûn's minions out. 
[C82DA880][2D22F619]Now Dead Orbit has finally made good on its promise to leave the City, and taken New Monarchy with it. 
[C82DA880][1969B82A]He understands her perspective, but I can only give him so much time.
[C82DA880][8D881E2D]Some of our records on Savathûn are fabricated truths, I'm sure. But in those lies are the strategies she used to topple the Dreaming City. 
[C82DA880][18718A38]Zavala and I have every confidence that this was the right decision.
[C82DA880][8E9C7A3A]When the time comes, I'll put a spear of Light through the Witch Queen's heart myself. 
[C82DA880][1B157C3E]Some of her own people warned me she was becoming unstable, and I feel I let her slip away.
[C82DA880][6F37853F]Get down there. Be the calm the City needs. Hear out grievances and keep tensions low while I root out the perpetrators.
[C82DA880][2F669C4B]I haven't told Saint yet, but I've… been unable to locate Osiris. 
[C82DA880][3D05AD4C]I won't allow her to drive us apart.
[C82DA880][C8026E50]It was the arm Savathûn used to strangle our city.
[C82DA880][F99ABE59]Eris once said we will only know our enemy's next move if we are wise enough to recognize it.
[C82DA880][0FAE545B]History won't be repeating itself here.
[C82DA880][6EBC7A5F]Finding Quria at the center of the Endless Night confirms our worst suspicions:
[C82DA880][2714FD5F]We can't allow anyone to jeopardize our alliance with the House of Light, no matter their motives.
[C82DA880][FBE6426C]Everything she does is for a reason, even if it seems beyond our comprehension. I want to know what she hoped to gain. 
[C82DA880][0BAA4E6D]We'll reassess the situation when we've located our target.
[C82DA880][6D561A70]Future War Cult has scattered to the wind, but we recovered Lakshmi's body from the site of the attack.
[C82DA880][31480571]In the meantime, Osiris is focused on collecting all the data we have on Savathûn…
[C82DA880][E0A73274]Years of Hidden operations coming to fruition in our time of need. 
[C82DA880][AC249574]Even though Lakshmi implicated him in the attack, I don't believe he'd…
[C82DA880][5CF18977]It's time that Lakshmi and I had a little talk.
[C82DA880][8927F97C]In the end, she was right about the tragedy looming on our horizon—if only she could have foreseen that it was of her own making.
[C82DA880][A0004F88]Osiris is a good man. Saint and I will both vouch for him. All he has to do is return to the City to clear his name. 
[C82DA880][2D6BCF8D]If she had access to our records, she'd cherry pick whatever details were necessary to ground her prophecies.
[C82DA880][F09F7090]Even now, she believes the Eliksni will be the cause of some great catastrophe.
[C82DA880][B8459D9B]The Vanguard has tolerated her broadcasts, as Zavala doesn’t believe it’s our place to interfere in civilian politics.
[C82DA880][17630FAA]While you’re in the field, I’ve asked Saint-14 to oversee the Eliksni settlement.
[C82DA880][BC56F0AD]I only hope we stopped her in time.
[C82DA880][FE6D64B0]I thought I might ask Lakshmi for her assistance, but that device she uses… 
[C82DA880][71154DB2]If we can turn the Kell-breaker into an advocate for House Light, then others will follow. I hope he's feeling generous.
[C82DA880][27AF2CB3]Here in the City, every new life can begin in peace. Without fear. Without loss. We need only set aside the past.
[C82DA880][B2D6C7B8]Guardian, be vigilant… we must consider our discovery of Savathûn to be part of her plan.
[C82DA880][EB949CB9]This wasn't just an attack on their Ether stores; someone wanted to send a message.
[C82DA880][4CD31AC2]Guardian, we are all made to believe that loss is how we grow. It took me decades to see that it is not the pain we learn from, but the risk. 
[C82DA880][B052F3C3]It's easy to mistake change as the frontline of a battlefield, but this is a time for level heads and compassion.
[C82DA880][C77594C5]The chances we take, and the strength to see them through. 
[C82DA880][BC136BC6]Our citizens forget who they were before they found the safety of the City's walls. 
[C82DA880][8B7D74C6]By Osiris's description, it's used to align one's consciousness with other temporal realities, and has driven many War Cultists insane. 
[C82DA880][9BE48DCA]Lakshmi claims the Vanguard suffers from a lack of transparency.
[C82DA880][0928F0D1]The visions it shows her… they cloud her judgment.
[C82DA880][8B8FF8D1]The skies are slowly clearing, but the streets are filled with dead Vex, dead Eliksni… and our people.
[C82DA880][FB1EB4D4]The factions are no more. 
[C82DA880][7F17CED5]Separating small truths from the many layer of lies.
[C82DA880][C2FA62D9]With it… docked—to borrow an Eliksni term—we purged Savathûn from the Vex domain. 
[C82DA880][F16B6CDA]I need people I can trust to be objective.
[C82DA880][DF0774DA]I saw the blight that was forming in our own citizens, but I never thought it would lead us here.
[C82DA880][1472FFDD]Our citizens must see that the Eliksni are people, just like them.
[C82DA880][3371CBDE]I see now that was a mistake.  
[C82DA880][612BADE0]Look at the City. 
[C82DA880][E34741E1]It has been some time since you and I have worked together. That's going to change. 
[C82DA880][1E49CBE3]The Dreaming Mind's defeat, as with so many things Vex, is a process.
[C82DA880][5178F4E3]The Eliksni would say, "The Great Machine provides."
[C82DA880][6D4B7AE6]Mithrax has kept his promise. His Splicers work tirelessly to decode the data you pulled from the Vex network. 
[C82DA880][857F5FED]It will take time for Mithrax and his Splicers to finish untangling our reality from the Vex network. 
[C82DA880][FA335EEE]As internal affairs falls under my purview, you'll be reporting to me for this operation. 
[C82DA880][4B93F0F0]But if Osiris hadn't suggested we contact Mithrax directly, all our outreach could have been wasted. 
[C82DA880][94FAE7F3]There's been a disturbance: sabotage in the Eliksni camp. 
[C82DA880][E6BCC4FC]Osiris seems to think he can get through to her. He understands the technology. 
[C82DA880][E11BC5FC]Honestly, I will miss their presence here. After all, Lakshmi did not speak for the Future War Cult. 
[C82DA880][3D7088FD]My eyes are wide open now. Stay ready.

[653FA880][55C90402]This is a bond that cannot break. Their lost will be buried beside our own.
[653FA880][E5DB2808]This is not the Saint-14 I know.
[653FA880][F021570F]If his House of Light can forgive… perhaps we must try to see the Fallen—Eliksni—as they see themselves… 
[653FA880][18B5EA1D]…or none of us will ever be anything but monsters.
[653FA880][50F5CB1E]The House of Light is part of the City now, under the protection of Saint-14.
[653FA880][D8BA9326]We do monstrous things to fight monsters. It seemed simple then.
[653FA880][5F281A2F]Guardian. The City remains. 
[653FA880][3B9E944B]Ikora was wise to look to our future instead of the past. 
[653FA880][0119865F]To know children tremble in fear at my name, and mourn what I have taken from them. 
[653FA880][B6E2E45F]I can never forgive what the old Houses did to us, but these are not the old Houses.
[653FA880][C406177E]We thought only of protecting our people. Survival until the next day, no matter how.
[653FA880][BC1A0C81]I have thought much on Mithrax's story.
[653FA880][DAD72E86]We must be more than the enemies of our enemies.
[653FA880][5F287292]These are not the fiends Lakshmi made them out to be. That bravery demands respect and deserves recognition.
[653FA880][E9DE169B]In time, the memories of our past demons will fade, and our peoples will share laughter and stories.
[653FA880][EF7AFBA9]We have wrestled another day from those who would take it… but not without loss, and not alone.
[653FA880][E9833EBF]To be seen as… as a terror. A destroyer. 
[653FA880][10DA09C0]This… lashing out against defenseless people. It is the act of a coward. 
[653FA880][6264A8DE]When the City first formed, Titans were the walls. We did not think of our enemies when we fought. 
[653FA880][AEECABE4]We must remember that it is the Eliksni who came to us. Laid down arms for a chance at peace.
[653FA880][9A0D0DEE]Our victory today will be one of them. More famous than Twilight Gap. I will make sure of it. 
[653FA880][951388F3]Eliksni. Mithrax. They stood with us, brothers and sisters in battle.
[653FA880][E2A90BFC]They are dead. What do we gain from more death?

[A743A880][4B023B00]Our victory today will be one of them. More famous than Twilight Gap. I will make sure of it. 
[A743A880][B34B210B]We must be more than the enemies of our enemies.
[A743A880][6AEF2715]Ikora was wise to look to our future instead of the past. 
[A743A880][E5BF293D]I have thought much on Mithrax's story.
[A743A880][C5F16246]…or none of us will ever be anything but monsters.
[A743A880][EBF75C4D]They are dead. What do we gain from more death?
[A743A880][CC294B4F]Eliksni. Mithrax. They stood with us, brothers and sisters in battle.
[A743A880][D5411B50]The House of Light is part of the City now, under the protection of Saint-14.
[A743A880][847D915F]In time, the memories of our past demons will fade, and our peoples will share laughter and stories.
[A743A880][8D50147F]If his House of Light can forgive… perhaps we must try to see the Fallen—Eliksni—as they see themselves… 
[A743A880][08B33C8A]This is not the Saint-14 I know.
[A743A880][746FA28F]This is a bond that cannot break. Their lost will be buried beside our own.
[A743A880][ABB59A9B]I can never forgive what the old Houses did to us, but these are not the old Houses.
[A743A880][21B0F0A2]We do monstrous things to fight monsters. It seemed simple then.
[A743A880][828804A3]These are not the fiends Lakshmi made them out to be. That bravery demands respect and deserves recognition.
[A743A880][72CC37A6]Mithrax risked much to trust us. 
[A743A880][3387EADA]We must remember that it is the Eliksni who came to us. Laid down arms for a chance at peace.
[A743A880][32CF39DC]We have wrestled another day from those who would take it… but not without loss, and not alone.
[A743A880][16B02DDF]Guardian. The City remains. 
[A743A880][C18CB2E2]This… lashing out against defenseless people. It is the act of a coward. 
[A743A880][E314C2E8]When the City first formed, Titans were the walls. We did not think of our enemies when we fought. 
[A743A880][F4F586EA]To know children tremble in fear at my name, and mourn what I have taken from them. 
[A743A880][8D8A38EF]We thought only of protecting our people. Survival until the next day, no matter how.
[A743A880][38B4CFF0]To be seen as… as a terror. A destroyer.
