*'''Zavala:''' Did you hear that?
*'''Zavala:''' It spoke to us. It wants to help, just as I told you before.
*'''Ikora:''' Or it could be a trap! Listen to yourself, Zavala.
*'''Ikora:''' I've known you for hundreds of years, but right now… I don't even recognize you.
*'''Zavala:''' You just don't like it when people change.
*'''Ikora:''' I don't like change that can cost lives!
*'''Zavala:''' That isn't your decision to make! When we faced Savathûn, you took unimaginable risks-
*'''Cayde-6:''' That's enough.
*'''Cayde-6:''' Focus on the mission. Get your eyes off each other's throats and put 'em back on that Tormentor
'''The fireteam abandons the city and continues their pursuit of Kataxiia, eventually arriving in a cave with a large Ahamkara skull, where the Tormentor jumps down to confront them once more.'''
*'''Ghost:''' There's the Tormentor!
*'''Zavala:''' Rend it apart.
'''After wounding the Tormentor, Kataxiia becomes immune and teleports themselves into the large Ahamkara skull. Entering into Ahamkara mouths, the Guardians receive Taken Essence's from within and use it to activate two small Ahamkara skulls, causing Kataxiia to re-emerge. As the Guardians continue to damage Kataxiia, it would become immune and teleport onto the large Ahamkara skull once more. However the forces of the Witness were not the only threat, as the fireteam would be ambushed by Lucent Hive led by Sardul, Acting Expedition Commander'''
*'''Ghost:''' Looks like the Hive finally caught up to us.
'''Shortly after defeating the Lucent Hive, Kataxiia summons reinforcements led by Mhakt. Upon slaying Mhakt, the Guardians receive another Taken essence and use it to activate an Ahamkara skull. Breaking Kataxiia's shield once again, it jumps down to confront the fireteam one last time. Despite its power, the Guardians prevail, slaying Kataxiia in a ferocious battle.'''
*'''Ghost:''' We did it! The way is clear.
*'''Zavala:''' "Give yourself to Darkness. Only there will you find the answers you seek."
*'''Zavala:''' This is the first concrete, actionable lead we've had since we arrived.
*'''Ikora:''' What about Cayde's vision?
*'''Ikora:''' We should follow the path the Traveler has laid for us-
*'''Zavala:''' How are we supposed to do that, when all it gives us is more riddles? Devotion, bravery, sacrifice-what does that even mean?
*'''Ikora:''' I don't know, but the Traveler wants you alive!
*'''Zavala:''' No, you do! That's what you want, Ikora!
*'''Zavala:''' You once told me that "to do nothing is cowardice." And now, you'd rather lose everything than to risk making the wrong move. But you aren't even thinking about that!
*'''Zavala:''' You're just afraid to lose me like we lost Cayde.
*'''Cayde-6:''' Commander, you're out of line!
*'''Zavala:''' Stay out of this. You weren't there. You don't know what happened when you died on us.
*'''Ikora:''' You're right. I can't lose you, Zavala.
*'''Zavala:''' Someday you will. And you'll have to learn to live with that.

==Trivia==
*The word “liminality” is defined as the current state of a rite of passage that a subject is in the process of undertaking.
*According to Bungie, this strike is inspired by Pulp Novels and adventure media from the 1930s.
**This reference is best demonstrated throughout the encounter mechanic in the strike. As players must transfer taken essences, references to Indiana Jones and Star Wars become more apparent as surfaces start to contract and close in on players.
*This strike is the first time hostile Hive and Taken are seen fighting each other.
