Transcript[edit]
"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.
Two Lies, and Two Truths
- Savathûn: We should play a game. Two lies, two truths. The Traveler will leave. The Traveler will fall. The Traveler is not the only one of its kind. The Hive are not the last to be chosen by the Light. Such an enigmatic creature, our Traveler. And so fickle! What do you think?
Sword Logic
Savathûn: I didn't want to die, you know. I have always wanted to live. To sail endless seas, visit infinite skies. When I first learned the logic, this was my deepest confusion. The sword values life over everything else... but it is a life defined by constant death. A near-eternal winnowing. I began to wonder... when you've destroyed everything but yourself, what of life is left to live?Traveler's Choices
Savathûn: I can practically hear the question on the tip of your tongue. Why did the Traveler choose the Hive? It violates everything you thought the Light stood for. It puts power into the hands of your oldest enemies. And for what? Our god is always silent. It gives no answers.Hive Ghosts
Savathûn: I asked you before — why did the Traveler choose the Hive? This is the truth... It didn't. The Traveler chose me. I used the Light it gave me to draw in other Ghosts. They flocked to me like moths, and I welcomed them to my coven. As for why it chose me? The same reason it chose you, o honored guest.Lucent Brood
Savathûn: I asked you before — why did the Traveler choose the Hive? This is the truth... it needed protection. You were the first. An army created in a moment of panic, a desperate grab for survival. But when you drifted toward the Darkness, it saw its mistake. It realized humanity could not serve it any longer. And so, the Traveler made a choice.Calculations
Savathûn: I asked you before — why did the Traveler choose the Hive? This is the truth... It didn't. The Traveler doesn’t “choose.” It acts on pure mathematical calculation. A different logic than the sword, but logic all the same. Does that disappoint you? I understand. We want to be important. Special. I’m sorry.Grace
Savathûn: I asked you before — why did the Traveler choose the Hive? This is the truth… in a moment of grace, the ultimate act of grace… the Traveler placed its own heart in the hand of its enemy and said, “Change your ways.” We who have fought all our lives — chased and warred and killed — how could we comprehend that? How could we accept such a complete denial of self-preservation? It defies understanding.Enemies[edit]
