Editing Cerberus Vae III (strike)

==Transcript==
'''{Intro}'''

*'''[[Zavala]]''': Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defences, take this beast out, and break their grip of Freehold.

''Fireteam lands in the [[Rubicon Wastes]].''

*'''[[Ghost]]''': Let's find access to their system, see if we can track down Valus Ta'aurc.

''Ghost scans system in [[Cabal]] bunker.''

''Fireteam infiltrates [[Iron Line]], Cabal stronghold.''

''Fireteam ambush Cabal lieutenants: [[Val Bou'urc]], [[Val Zu'uarc]], [[Val Ma'aurg]], [[Val Ca'aul]] ([[Goliath Tank]]).''

''Fireteam infiltrates Siege Dancer's Imperial Land Tank, [[Valley of the Kings]].''

''Valus Ta'aruc defeated.''

*'''Ghost''': We got him. I'll let Commander Zavala know there's one less problem on Mars.

*'''Zavala''': Valus Ta'aurc has finally been defeated and the Cabal command dealt a great blow. But in the Darkness rising, more fleets will come and new leaders will rise. We must be ready to face them all.

==Enemies==

==Trivia==
*The quote that Zavala says right before landing on Mars to begin the strike has become a meme as this strike is infamous for seeming to be much more commonly played than any other strike during [[Destiny]].
