Editing Echo of Command

{{Image}}
The '''Echo of Command''' is one of several paracausal artifacts known as [[Echo (object)|Echoes]] that were released from within [[the Traveler]] following the destruction of the [[The Witness|Witness]]. It was created specifically from the memories of Warden [[Te'Qal]], the last commander of the [[Qugu]]'s Seht Armada who died in their final stand against the [[Hive]] and the [[Black Fleet]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Lore:Dynasty|Dynasty]]: [[Lore:Dynasty#Chapter 3 – The Cry that Echoes|Chapter 3 – The Cry that Echoes]]''</ref> It grants its user the ability to command and compel other beings, bending them to its will.<ref name="Cutscene"/>

It is currently in the possession of the original version of [[Maya Sundaresh]], whose consciousness survived her death on Neomuna within the Darkness of the Veil and was reincarnated on Nessus within an Exo body she crafted using the Echo's ability to compel the local [[Vex]]. Styling herself as "the Conductor," Maya used the Echo to introduce individuality to the Vex and bring them under her control, creating a new collective known as the [[Nessian Schism]].{{Citation needed}}

==Description==
The Echo appears to be a collar-like device with a horseshoe-like shape, with an extension seemingly infused with Prismatic energy. Its interior surface is studded with apertures which appear to emit beams capable of synthesizing matter; the introductory cutscene to Act II of ''Echoes'' depicts the Echo constructing the Conductor's Exo body out of thin air.<ref name="Cutscene">'''Bungie (2024/7/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [https://youtu.be/m_SOh3yFZuY?si=3JQ1PatANAWYZbAn Destiny 2: Echoes | The Echoes Cinematic]''</ref> However, the Lore entry ''VII. Mind-Body'' seems to suggest that Maya's body was actually constructed by Vex radiolaria, which she commanded using the power of the Echo.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Lore:Polyphony|Polyphony]]: [[Lore:Polyphony#VII.
