*'''[[Cayde-6|CAYDE-6]]''': So [[Zavala]] was here a while ago...gave this big speech about how proud he is, how well the 'Dreadnaught Campaign' went, and... you know how he gets. Anyway, he gave me a list here. Set up locations for patrol beacons. We need them planted and tested if we're going to get that tub under control. You plant them, you test them. I'll keep you company! 

'''{Gameplay}'''

*'''CAYDE''': Right—first on the list is an Intel Beacon. Helps us get the lay of the land, gives us updates on troop movements, skirmishes and the like. You've got the marker, go do your thing. 

''The Guardian moves toward the far right side of the [[Hull Breach]], near the entrance to the [[Hall of Souls]], and plants a Beacon into the ground. It starts beeping rhythmically as it powers on.''

*'''CAYDE''': Okay, beacon signal's coming in loud and clear! Ah! In fact, I've already got a ping. Marking a hot zone for you. Go get a look at the fighting, see what you can see. 

''A waypoint appears for the Guardian, on a ledge very high above the floor. The Guardian makes the climb and surveys the impressive view of the battle between three species: [[Cabal]] versus the [[Hive]] and the [[Taken]]. Enough information is soon collected.''

*'''CAYDE''': Data's good! Second marker should've been downloaded to your Ghost. Intel beacons are [[Ikora]]'s favorite, by the way. Never met a woman who appreciated ambient temperature and energy readings as much as she does. 

''The Guardian heads to the [[Mausoleum]], and plants a beacon underneath the bridge leading to the Rupture. As before, the signal starts to broadcast to the Guardian.''

*'''CAYDE''': Ah, the marker's up and running. The eggheads love these scoot-n'-scan missions. I just like 'em as an excuse to stretch the old legs. I'm feeding you data for a new nearby energy spikes. Get movin'! 

''The Guardian starts running as several blue markers appear on their HUD. The energy reading steadily depletes in between bursts of concentrated energy, but as they run through enough spikes, their findings come to a head.''

*'''CAYDE''': I was gonna send you off with a pithy joke, but [[Eris]] started droning on about the pathways into Darkness or some damn thing, got distracted... anyway, one more beacon to go, if you'd be so kind. 

''The Guardian continues onto the next area, the Hall of Souls. Finding a suitable place for the beacon, they plant it into the floor.''

*'''CAYDE''': Beacon is hot. Yeah, that's a good signal. I'm getting some data on Taken patrols around the ship. We've already got a hot spot on the board. Go clear out that blight, Guardian. 

''The Guardian makes their way through, eventually finding themselves back in the [[Trenchway]] where they first crash-landed. Several Taken [[blight]]s appear, spawning numerous forces. The Guardian eliminates them all, but the objective updates as a Taken [[Ultra]] arrives in their place. The Guardian continues fighting [[Balvog, Shield of Oryx]], until it eventually falls dead.''

*'''CAYDE''': And that's a Taken pack all cleaned out. Good work. (chuckles) You know, Zavala gets all cranky if you "have more important things to do" than plant beacons. Not a problem today! Come on back.
