==Transcript==
'''{Cutscene}'''

''A cave floor is faintly illuminated in green, revealing Eris. She comes across a dark energy and glides her hand across it. The energy disappears and the cave around her begins to rumble, resulting in the wall ahead of her to collapse. Eris turns around and a hooded Phantom appears.''

''Shadowkeep title card fades in and out to black''

''Approaching from Earth, [[The Guardian|The Guardian's]] [[Jumpship|jumpship]] can be seen flying quickly to the surface of the [[Moon]].

*'''[[Zavala]]''': "Attention all [[Guardian|guardians]]. Last night we detected a seismic disturbance on the Moon. Within hours it was swarming with Hive. This plague must not be allowed to spread." 

''Fade to black.''

'''{Gameplay}'''
*'''Zavala''': "The Hive pour onto the surface of our Moon from the Keep. That is where our disturbance originated. We will investigate, but first we must regain a lunar foothold. For some of you, this is all too familiar. But do not let the atrocities of Crota haunt you. Whatever this is, we will not let the tragedies of our past repeat themselves."

''Guardian forces, with assistance from [[The Last City|City]] [[Frame|frames]], beat back the Hive.''

*'''Ghost''': "The Hive appear to be retreating. Commander, these Hive are erratic. Scattered."

*'''Zavala''': "They lack leadership. Crota's death left a void they have yet to fill. But the disturbance seems to have emboldened them. They must be stopped."

*'''Ghost''': "We're on it."

''City forces pursue the Hive deeper and toward the Keep's outer walls.''

*'''Ghost''': "Hive are coming from that portal up ahead. Let's shut it down."

''The Guardian begins to take down Hive sigils and eventually a shrieker defending the portal.''

*'''Ghost''': "The portal is down, Commander."

*'''Zavala''': "Good work, Guardians. Thanks to you, we'll have an LZ up and running soon. In the meantime, press on towards the Keep."

*'''[[Ikora Rey]]''': "Guardian. There's no time to lose."

*'''Ghost''': "Ikora?"

*'''Ikora''': "This 'disturbance' - I know what triggered it. Who triggered it. Eris Morn."

''If the Guardian is a new light.''

*'''Ghost''': "Eris? She disappeared before the "[[Red War]]. She's here?" (New Light)

''or''

*'''Ghost''': "Eris is back on the Moon?" (Veteran of [[Destiny]])

*'''Ikora''': "Last I heard from her, she was headed into the Keep. I don't even know if she's still -"

*'''Ghost''': "We'll find her. Alive"

''The Guardian and Ghost continue on toward the Keep''

*'''Zavala''': "Before we can gain access to the Keep, you'll need to clear the surrounding area. Assistance is on its way." 

*'''Ghost''': "Commander, was the Vanguard aware of the Hive's activity on the Moon before the disturbance?"

*'''Zavala''': "We've been closely monitoring their progress, but had not yet discovered the purpose of this Scarlet Keep."

''As the Guardian approaches the Keep, a flight [[Hawk|Hawks]] drop off several [[Drake Tank|Drake Tanks]] to support in the siege.'

*'''Ghost''': "The path is clear. Ready to head into the Scarlet Keep"

''With the area secured, the Guardian proceeds into the Keep to begin searching for Eris.''

*'''Ikora''': "Eris came to me. She'd found evidence of something very old on the Moon. A potential threat to [[Humanity|humanity]]. Eris insisted on going alone. Just a scouting mission, she said. And I let her. Eris is resilient. She's proven that again and again. Often to her own detriment"

*'''Ghost''': "If anybody can take care of themselves, it's Eris Morn. [static] Ikora? We've lost her signal. That's strange."

''As the Guardian continues to travel deeper into the caves, a distorted floating red figure appears.''

*'''Ghost''': "What was that?"

''Dropping down a ledge, the Guardian enters a cavern lit only by lanterns and filled with strange Hive.''

*'''Ghost''': These Hive… they're not actually Hive. Their energy signature is entirely unfamiliar."

''Heading towards Eris, the ceiling of the cave splits open with a perfect view of the Earth and even more of the distorted red figures.''

*'''Ghost''': "The source of our… disturbance… should be right around here…"

''The Guardian runs around a corner, revealing a massive [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid ship]] sitting in an incredibly abyssal hole.

*'''Ghost''': "What… is that? I've never seen anything like it. This must be what Eris was after." ([[Invitation of the Nine]] uncompleted)

''or''

*'''Ghost''': "That's… one of those Pyramids. It can't be. That should not be here. Eris must have gone inside." (Invitation of the Nine completed)

''Dropping down another ledge, the Guardian continues closer to the Pyramid.''

*'''Ghost''': "Something's wrong. I feel strange. Like someone - or something - is invading my [[Light]].

''The Guardian comes across an opening with a strange red aura in the middle.''

*'''Ghost''': "That… thing across the way. What is that?"

''Approaching the aura, the Guardian is pushed back by an unknown energy..''

*'''Ghost''': "There's some sort of massive energy spike here. It's too heavy for us to pass through."

''Just then, the aura transforms into Crota.''

*'''Ghost''': "Crota!? But he's dead!" (New Light)

''or''

*'''Ghost''': "Crota!? But we killed him!" (Veteran)

''After fighting off the [[Nightmare]] for some time, Crota's strength returns to him.''

*'''Ghost''': "He's regenerating?"

''At that moment, apparitions of Ghaul and Fikrul appear alongside Crota.''

*'''Ghost''': "We can't win. We have to go. Now"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Guardian! Come… with… me! [Incantations]"

'''{Level ends}'''

'''{Cutscene}'''

''The Guardian is teleported to a balcony overlooking the Pyramid and looks up to see Eris Morn watching it. With her, the apparition from earlier.''

*'''Guardian''': "Eris Morn."

''The Guardian approaches her, keeping an eye on the figure floating close by.''

*'''Guardian''': "What is that Pyramid?"

*'''Eris''': "You've heard the stories. Of the [[Traveler|Traveler's]] sacrifice. Of darkness descending upon humanity. Before us lies a dark remnant of their existence. Was it struck down by the Traveler? Left here on purpose? The truth is ours to discover."

*'''Guardian''': "Discover how?"

*'''Eris''': "We find a way inside."
