'''Expunge: Styx''' is a story mission introduced in the ''[[Season of the Lost]]''. Players are tasked to breach into the [[Vex Network|Vex Nexus]] and to collapse the [[Styx (Location)|domain]] by eliminating the [[Dikast, Oppressive Mind|Oppressive Mind]]. 

The mission later returns as '''Expunge: Corrupted Styx''' as it is discovered that a [[Taken]] incursion of the domain prevented its collapse. Players are once again tasked with venturing into the domain and to eliminate the reborn Oppressive Mind.

==Styx Transcript==
'''(Mission Begins)'''

'''The Guardians enter the [[Distributed Cognition Domain]] and traverse deeper.'''

*'''[[Mithrax]]:''' Do you feel that? The more you explore the Vex domain, the more I feel an all-seeing eye upon us. Ever watchful, ever seeking. We trespass in dimensions not meant for either of us. 

'''The Vex detect the Guardians and begin a purge throughout the Domain.'''

*'''Mithrax:''' The Vex have enacted a purge sweep of the domain. We should stay ahead of it. 

'''The Guardians enter the [[Styx (Location)|Styx]] Domain.'''

*'''Mithrax:''' A layer of barriers defends this realm, a mighty fortress that resists brute force. Cunning is the key here, Guardian. If you overload that thought-conduit with an attack, you may be able to capture Vex data. 

'''The Guardians collect a Vex Authentication Key.'''

*'''Mithrax:''' That fragment of Vex data can be used to splice a bypass in their security, granting us access to the Oppressive Mind at this domain's core. I have helped as much as I can. You tread uncharted paths.. solving this enigma is up to you, and the skills you have been given. 

'''The Guardians use an Authentication Key to destabilise the first security layer.'''

*'''Mithrax:''' The barrier has destabilized. You will need to continue to chip away at the defenses to destroy it entirely. 

'''The Guardians destabilise the Vex firewall and challenge Dikast, Oppressive Mind.'''

*'''Mithrax:''' The Oppressive Mind rises to face us. Show it the power of a Splicer. 

'''Dikast, Oppressive Mind is defeated'''

*'''Mithrax:''' With your Light, you are unweaving a reality the Vex have forced upon us. The tapestry of their design continues to fray. But this way far from over. 

*'''[[Osiris]]:''' Lakshmi is certain that our continued efforts, combined with Future War Cult's technology, can locate the source of the Endless Night. 

*'''Mithrax:''' I am aware of the device Lakshmi uses. Does it not worry you? 

*'''Osiris:''' In what way? 

*'''Mithrax:''' It is taxing on its user. To have one's consciousness fractured into countless splinters and rejoined again can be... harrowing. 

*'''Osiris:''' Lakshmi is up to the task. 

*'''Mithrax:''' This sort of technology is taboo among the Eliksni. But perhaps House Light can still offer some assistance. My engineers could improve on the design... make it easier for Lakshmi... 

*'''Osiris:''' No, no. The Black Armory has already provided the necessary enhancements for us. Lakshmi will manage. I'm confident. Besides, the less interaction Lakshmi has with your people at the moment... the better. 

*'''Mithrax:''' Yes, perhaps... perhaps you are right.
