{{Article quote|Enter the realm of the Nine and ask the question: "What is the nature of the Darkness?"}}
'''Prophecy''' is a [[Dungeon]] that was introduced with the ''[[Season of Arrivals]]'' and was released on the 9th of June 2020. It requires [[Guardian]]s to enter a realm not bound to causality, fight through a ferocious horde of simulated [[Taken]], and defeat the [[Kell Echo]] that commands them in the hopes of seeking an audience with and an answer to the question of the intent and nature of the [[Darkness]] from [[the Nine]].

==Walkthrough==
===Entrance===
[[file:Prophecy4.jpg|thumb|300px|Heaven/Hell]]
This encounter is the easiest encounter due to the lack of a [[Darkness Zone]], though the respawn timer is extremely long, so be sure to revive your teammates quickly. This encounter introduces the players to the central mechanic throughout the dungeon: '''Light Motes''' and '''Dark Motes'''. Players will begin to see a white pillar and a black pillar. These pillars are prominent throughout the dungeon.

In order to get the different types of motes, players must kill a [[Taken Knight]] called [[Knight Echo]] within a specific area. Killing the Knight Echo while standing in the light will cause them to drop '''Light Motes'''. Killing the Knight Echo while standing in the shadow will cause them to drop '''Dark Motes'''. Collecting a different type of mote will cause the opposing mote to be replaced with the ones you just picked up. The motes you pick up will last for 30 seconds. After collecting exactly 5 motes of a specific type, the camera will switch to a third person perspective and have the player carry a massive mote in their hands, losing the ability to use their weapons in the process. The players should take the specific mote they possess to their matching pillar (Light motes to the white pillar and Dark motes to the black pillar) within 30 seconds before it disappears and then press their "shoot" key to trigger a blast that will disperse the pillar. Once both pillars are dispersed, the door will open, revealing another set of pillars and another locked door, where players must repeat the process of positioning themselves in the light or the shadow to kill the Knight Echoes, pick up their motes, and disperse the pillars.

After disposing of the two pairs of pillars in the tunnels, the players should then find themselves an exit, as well as their temporary nemesis throughout the dungeon, the [[Kell Echo]]. After pursuing the spectral visage of the Fallen Kell through the shattered ruins of the realm's tunnels, the Echo will vanish, leaving players on a half-spherical platform with two pairs of pillars and a Taken probe in the center. Here, the Phalanx Echo encounter begins once the probe is approached.

===Phalanx Echo===
After approaching the probe, the Phalanx Echo will spawn along with its reinforcements: two squads of [[Taken Psion]]s and a pair of Knight Echoes. Like other [[Taken Phalanx]]es, the Phalanx Echo will lay into its opponents with its Taken Slug Rifle while approaching them for a powerful blast from its shield (unlike other boss Taken Phalanxes, however, it doesn't have the ability to cast the tether orb). Another thing to note is the immunity shield protecting it; players must dispose of it in order to get to a damage phase on the unit itself. 

Like the previous encounter, this one pivots on the use of Light and Dark motes. and their pillars. Players should eliminate any troublesome Taken Psions, evade the Phalanx Echo, and position themselves in the light or the shadow, and kill the Knight Echoes to secure their motes in order to disperse a pillar. Keep in mind that the positions of the shadow and the light will change after a pillar is dispersed. Once all 2 pairs of pillars are dispersed, players should be free to damage the Phalanx Echo itself for 50 seconds. During this, the Echo will spawn a pair of [[Ravenous Taken Goblin]]s to protect it during this phase, so they should be eliminated quickly when given the chance. After the 50 seconds are over, the Phalanx Echo's shield will return. Rinse and repeat as many times as needed until the Echo dies.

The encounter ends once the Echo is destroyed, opening the way to the next encounter, and providing the players their respective loot before moving on. After meeting up in the center triangle glowing pink, the players will then "sink" into the next encounter, where they will be dropped into the Wasteland.

===Wasteland===
[[File:Prophecy3.jpg|thumb|300px|The Wastelands]]
This transition encounter requires players to peruse a desolate wasteland dotted with fragments of [[Io]], [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], [[Mercury]], and [[Mars]] to search for a trio of [[Blight]]s and destroy them. Although reasonably straightforward for a transition encounter, players should also keep their eyes out for patrolling [[Ultra]] [[Taken Minotaur]]s who can easily smash a player's Sparrow and kill them. Regardless, this encounter is relatively easy with the abundance of cover with the dunes. 

After dispersing one of the clusters of Blight, a Taken probe will appear and dash towards the next cluster. After following the probe and destroying the trio of Blights and the squads protecting them, the players should see a pop-up text saying "The Way is Open", telling the players that the next encounter is now accessible. After following the probe one last time, players will find themselves in a narrow violet pathway before finally finding themselves trapped in a strange structure and the next encounter, the Hexahedron.

===The Hexahedron===
[[File:Prophecy2.jpg|thumb|300px|Hexhedron]]
After approaching the probe, the encounter should begin, revealing a pop-up text saying "The Realm responds to your Actions", spawning a pillar on each side of the room, two squads of [[Taken Acolyte]]s, at least two [[Ravenous Taken Hobgoblin]]s, and two Knight Echoes. Like all previous encounters, this one pivots on the use of the pillars and the Knights' motes. To progress, players should look around the room and scan for the probe. The probe indicates the spot players should disperse their mote perpendicular to that specific circle the probe is floating on. 

After gathering enough Motes, the players must disperse a pillar on the wall the probe is floating on; if the probe is floating in the ceiling, they can disperse the mote on any pillar, but they must use that same side to reach that probe. The center of the room will glow once a pillar has been dispersed. After this, players are recommended to kill all units in the room and gather within the circle, where they will be lifted into the air and the cube in the middle of the structure should rotate them towards the direction of the dispersed pillar. Players must search for the probe and pursue it again. 

After pursuing the probe at least 6 times, the Guardians will find themselves in the portion of the wall with four platforms at each corner of the room, two from which two [[Centurion Echo]]es will emerge. After the both Centurion Echoes are killed, the encounter will end, revealing the exit and providing the players their rewards.

After exiting the Hexahedron, the Guardians will then find themselves in the Wasteland, once again, face-to-face with the Kell Echo, who will begin to retreat to the next area, a gateway housing a portal to an expansive void harboring numerous octahedrons, with a road leading to a larger one decorated with felt. Here is the Singularity, a massive expanse and race to the Kell Echo, as well as the next encounter.

===Singularity===
[[File:Prophecy1.jpg|thumb|300px|Singularity]]
The most straightforward encounter in the dungeon (perhaps quite literally), the Singularity encounter has Guardians racing down a fabric-like road to the massive octahedron structure at the end. 

However, due to the presence and abundance of [[Taken Vandal]]s and [[Ravenous Taken Knight]]s, the Singularity can be a bit of a challenge for those who aren't utilizing fast Sparrows or Skimmers and aren't utilizing their strafe ability frequently. Also present on this "racetrack" are a few hazards such as crossing (which shouldn't be a problem) and twisting roads, which will throw off players if they aren't vigilant enough or can't find another platform in time. Nevertheless, players shouldn't find a problem in this encounter and finally reach the massive octahedron, where they should be pulled into it. 

After disposing of the relatively easy squad of [[Taken Thrall]]s, the Guardians should find themselves within a tetrahedral room and, once again, facing a Taken Probe.

===Kell Echo===
[[File:KellEcho.jpg|thumb|300px|The [[Kell Echo]]]]
After a final approach with the Taken Probe, the Guardians' nemesis, the Kell Echo, reveals itself and begins to engage its assailants, along with two squads of [[Taken Psion]]s and two Knight Echoes. 

On all three sides of the room, a copy of the Kell Echo will stand in front of one of the paracausal pillars. Like all other previous encounters, players should, once again, neutralize any frustrating add, position themselves out of harm's way and kill a Knight Echo for their motes. After enough specific motes and dispersing the matching pillar of energy, the clone should attempt to escape to the center of the room, removing one threat from the room and giving the players a step closer to a damage phase. However, once the copy of the Echo flees, a [[Devoured Ogre]] will spawn and begin to rapidly assail the Guardians, so it should be quickly disposed of before it proves to be too much of a threat. 

Once all three copies are forced to retreat and all adds are killed (a recommendation before moving on), players should meet in the center triangle in the room, where they will be pulled into the floor and brought through a strange tube before finally finding themselves within a massive fragmented hallway from where the Kell Echo should be seen directly ahead. 

Here, the Kell Echo brings two new mechanics to the table. One is a protective field surrounding the Echo that prevents players from suffering the effects of a debuff called '''Dark Entropy''', which instantly kills a player once it stacks up to 10. The other feature is a modified Darkness Bolt ability that, instead of blinding normally, teleports players a few platforms back from the carnage while exposing them to the '''Dark Entropy''' debuff, so it should be avoided at all costs. Death here severely mitigates the damage done to the boss, so Guardians should always be on their toes, staying within the protective aura of the Echo and avoiding its Shrapnel Launcher and its [[Taken Hobgoblin]] sniper back-up. 

After a while, the Echo will begin to retreat to a platform or two behind it before finally teleporting to the end platform, where it will briefly stay before finally retreating to the tetrahedral arena, thus ending the damage phase. If it isn’t killed within the damage phase, the orientation of the tetrahedral room will change in the similar way to the Hexahedron encounter. The encounter ends once the Kell Echo itself is neutralized, where players will then be brought before the [[Orin|Emissary]], be given the answer on the nature of the Darkness, as well as rewards once the final encounter is complete.

'''{Mission begins}'''

'''[[The Haul]], [[The Derelict]], [[Unknown Space]]'''

[[The Guardian]] enters the IX Realms through the gateway on the haul to ask [[the Nine]] a question: "What is the nature of the [[Darkness]]?"

*'''[[Drifter]]''': "Heh, you ready to get paid, [[Guardian]]?"

*'''[[Eris Morn]]''': "Prepare to expand your mind, Guardian."

*'''Drifter''': "Hey, at least try to make it sound fun. Or they won't come back. You're killing me, Three Eyes."

*'''Eris Morn''': "I would love to kill you."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "The Nine can see the weft and weave of fate. Eyes up. There is much to learn from them."

*'''Drifter''': "Hey, we're just here to see what they have to say about [[Light]] and Dark. In and out, got it?"

'''Or'''

*'''[[The Emissary]]''': ""What is the Dark?" they ask. "What is its nature?" Why don't they ask the same of the Light?"

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "Light or Dark — nothing changes. Everything dies."

'''Or'''

'''If the Guardian is a [[Hunter]]'''

*'''The Emissary''': "A Hunter and a [[Shadows of Yor|Dredgen]] ask a question. You seek to understand the nature of the Dark. We forged an answer."

*'''Drifter''': "What? Where?"

*'''The Emissary''': "You're standing in it."

'''If the Guardian is a [[Warlock]]'''

*'''The Emissary''': "A Warlock and a Dredgen ask a question. You seek to understand the nature of the Dark. We forged an answer."

*'''Drifter''': "What? Where?"

*'''The Emissary''': "You're standing in it."

'''If the Guardian is a [[Titan (class)|Titan]]'''

*'''The Emissary''': "A Titan and a Dredgen ask a question."

*'''Drifter''': "What is the Darkness?"

*'''The Emissary''': "Our answer lies before you. Leave mercy behind."

'''[[Heaven/Hell]], IX Realms, Unknown Space'''

''The Guardian seeks the Nine.''

*'''The Emissary''': "Light and Dark have met in the [[Sol system]] before. Perhaps this time, you'll change the outcome."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "You asked a question. Welcome to the answer."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "You ask a question of pure potential. Death is intrinsic to the answer."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "Light and Dark. Heaven or hell. What's the difference?"

*'''Drifter''': "Well, that's our question, you lunatic!"

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "Guardian, do you read?"

*'''Drifter''': "Eris? I got this. Go back to yelling at that [[Tree of Silver Wings|tree]] on [[Io]]."

*'''Eris Morn''': "You need a handler, rat. And the Guardian needs support."

*'''Drifter''': "Hmph. Suit yourself, Three Eyes."

''The Guardian distributes motes of Light and Dark to unlock the way. [[Kell Echo]] appears. The Guardian pursues the Kell Echo until it disappears.''

''[[Phalanx Echo]], a part of the Nine's answer to the Guardian's question, appears. The Guardian distributes motes of Light and Dark. The Guardian defeats the Phalanx Echo.''

''The Guardian descends to the wasteland. The Guardian clears the wasteland of Taken blights and opens the way. The Guardian escapes the wasteland.''

'''Hexahedron, IX Realms, Unknown Space'''

''The Guardian enters a room with a black cube. The Guardian distributes motes of Light and Dark and is teleported throughout the room while symbols of the Nine are engraved on the black cube. Two [[Centurion Echo]]s appear. The Guardian defeats both Centurion Echos and escapes the room.''

'''Heaven/Hell, IX Realms, Unknown Space'''

''The Guardian returns to the wasteland. Kell Echo appears. The Guardian pursues the Kell Echo until it disappears and the way opens.''

''The Guardian approaches the Emissary of the Nine at [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]''

*'''Drifter''': "With [[Black Fleet|black fleet]] in town, all of my [[Hive]] knickknacks have been making… a ruckus."

*'''Eris Morn''': "The [[Pyramid]]s call, and so relics of the Dark shall respond."

*'''Drifter''': "Really creeps me out."

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[The Tower]] is on edge. Distracted. For once, I can work unabated."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, it's a… it's a real good time."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "Guardian? Where are you? That looks like a slice of Titan."

*'''Drifter''': "The only things that's missing is the Pyramid that's parked over the [[New Pacific Arcology|arcology]]. I got eyes on it."

*'''Eris Morn''': "No. It has eyes on you. It knows what you did on Titan. But… What are the Nine trying to say?"

*'''Drifter''': "Hell if I know. Hey!"

*'''Eris Morn''': "What?"

*'''Drifter''': "What do you mean it knows what I did on Titan? I do a lot of things. Everywhere. Hello?"

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "I always meant to go back to Titan. [[Gambit]] makes a killing out there."

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[Sloane]] claims she lets you roam free at the [[Deep Six]] refineries."

*'''Drifter''': "Roam free? I pay her for access to that rig. And I have to sweep Hive just to get in. When I asked to lower said fee, she shoved me into a locker."

*'''Eris Morn''': "The [[Vanguard]] trusts you in ways I will never understand."

*'''Drifter''': "Hey. Pot, kettle, black."

*'''Eris Morn''': "It's a trust we can use."

*'''Drifter''': "Now that we agree on."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "Hey. Three Eyes. [[Shaxx]] says you sang him a lil' ditty."

*'''Eris Morn''': "What?"

*'''Drifter''': "Shaxx. Chunky Titan. One horn. Did you sing him a song on the [[Moon]]?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "What a senseless question."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah. I didn't think so."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Stay off this channel. Should I need you, I'll call — wait."

*'''Drifter''': "Uh, I didn't hang up."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Does that oaf still keep that skull with him?"

*'''Drifter''': "In the Tower? Yeah. Hangs it over his spot. I wouldn't have tangoed with that thing."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Desperate times. This… 'lil ditty. Did it go… ? [hums]"

*'''Drifter''': "That would be the one. Heh. What is it?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[Savathûn, the Witch Queen#Savathûn's Song|Savathûn's Song]]. It's a viral chant. It can never be unheard. Now that [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] has announced herself, relics of the Dark across the system have begun to awaken… Tell Shaxx to remove that Skull immediately."

*'''Drifter''': "Sister, I already tried."

*'''Eris Morn''': "What did that oaf say?"

*'''Drifter''': "No."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "This looks like the New Pacific Arcology."

*'''Drifter''': "On Titan? What's that got to do with the Darkness? Sloane has that neighborhood on lockdown."

*'''Eris Morn''': "The Hive nest there, in the ruins of the [[Golden Age]]. And a [[Ahsa|leviathan]] of untold strength has made it her home."

*'''Drifter''': "I danced with the Dark. The Hive are NOT the Dark."

*'''Eris Morn''': "The Hive are the children of Darkness. As we are of the Light. I'll speak to Sloane. Maybe she's seen something."

''The Guardian approaches the Emissary of the Nine at [[Mercury]]''

*'''Drifter''': "[[Brother Vance]]. So sad."

*'''Eris Morn''': "What?"

*'''Drifter''': "Seeing Mercury makes me think of the [[Cult of Osiris|cultist]]s who ran around chasing [[Osiris]]' coattails. They used to run the [[Trials of Osiris|Trial]]s. They used to mean something. Be somebodies. No one talks to Vance anymore. I mean, I do. I still don't have some of those guns."

*'''Eris Morn''': "I have no idea who you're talking about."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah. Never mind."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "It's like they carved a sector of Mercury onto this plane. [[Saint-14|Saint]] and Osiris need to hear about this."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, well, make sure you tell 'em both. News travels slow between those two."

*'''Eris Morn''': "I don't fathom."

*'''Drifter''': "I told you don't cuss at me."

*'''Eris Morn''': "What do you mean news travels slow between Saint and Osiris?"

*'''Drifter''': "Well, call me old-fashioned, but if I broke time to save my knight in shining armor, I'd want 'em to stop foolin' around and climb my tower. But, uh, word on the wind is, no one's seen 'em meet in person."

*'''Eris Morn''': "That doesn't mean they don't."

*'''Drifter''': "You saying you heard different."

*'''Eris Morn''': "I know it. What would you do if your loved ones returned?"

*'''Drifter''': "I don't have those. But, if I did… Wouldn't be sittin' here flappin' gums with you."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Exactly. The pigeon and the phoenix exalt in their own way. Leave them be."

*'''Drifter''': "Heh. Yeah. Maybe. What would you do if you could get 'em back?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Who?"

*'''Drifter''': "[[First Crota Fireteam|Your fireteam]]."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Wouldn't be sittin' here flappin' gums with you."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah. That's fair."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "This looks like Mercury. But no traces of Osiris's Light. Or Saint's. It's a counterfeit."

*'''Drifter''': "This is Nine space. They control reality here. And they did this for a reason."

*'''Eris Morn''': "It must be part of their answer to the question. How insufferable."

*'''Drifter''': "I'm launching spectral analysis off the Guardian's position… It's not exactly our Mercury. No [[Tree of Probabilities]]… no [[Infinite Forest]]."

*'''Eris Morn''': "What do you seek? A means to walk the [[Corridors of Time|corridors of time]]? Haven't you learned from Osiris' mistake?"

*'''Drifter''': "Osiris took [[the Sundial]] with him… wherever it is he went. I always wanted to take that thing for a spin."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "Let's see. Power on switch here. Signal jammer here. Choose frequency, and… Hey, Orin. You there? Orin!"

*'''The Emissary''': "The Dredgen speaks."

*'''Drifter''': "I noticed you all stopped tryin' to… boil my brain lately. And I know you love tryin' to spook me. So, what's the deal? You scared, now that Savathûn's rode into town?"

*'''The Emissary''': "The Witch Queen is yet another piece on the board. She has agency. But the board has not changed."

*'''Drifter''': "So, the Nine still need you out there?"

*'''The Emissary''': "The Nine are inextricable from each other, and their Emissary."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, that's what I thought."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Were you saying something, rat? My channel cut out."

*'''Drifter''': "Just yellin' at the wind, Three Eyes."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "Dredgen."

*'''Drifter''': "That's a first. What's up, you lunatic?"

*'''The Emissary''': "The Forgotten Blade. She has been asking about our benefactor. Orin."

*'''Drifter''': "You mean Eris? Yeah, I guess she did know Orin back in the day. What'd you say?"

*'''The Emissary''': "Do you trust this Blade?"

*'''Drifter''': "I trust no one, you psychopath."

*'''The Emissary''': "What does "Orin" mean to the Blade?"

*'''Drifter''': "Well, hell if I know. I don't understand people like them."

*'''The Emissary''': "[[Lightbearer]]s?"

*'''Drifter''': "Friends."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "Dredgen. Let's play a game. Your kind reveals so much in the choices you make."

*'''Drifter''': "What the hell does that mean? You know what - okay, I'll bite."

*'''The Emissary''': "Your feet find purchase in shifting sands."

*'''Drifter''': "Okay, why is it getting hot? Do you feel that, Guardian? I can't… I can't see anything."

*'''The Emissary''': "The night has enveloped you. This is a world full of Dark. No sparks."

*'''Drifter''': "What's that smell?"

*'''The Emissary''': "The stench of the dead."

*'''Drifter''': "Am I dead? I hope so, because what I'm smelling, I don't want to be touching."

*'''The Emissary''': "You stand atop a dead world. A [[The Collapse|collapse]]."

*'''Drifter''': "Get me outta here."

*'''The Emissary''': "Very well. Your feet find purchase in shifting sands."

*'''Drifter''': "Holy hell, what're you doing now? It's too bright!"

*'''The Emissary''': "The sun is blinding. This is a world is full of Light. No shadows. A creature runs into you in its blindness; it nearly bowls you over."

*'''Drifter''': [grunts] "Hey, watch it! What was that? That's not funny."

*'''The Emissary''': "It has lived here all its life. Too long. It is very old. But if you could see, you would see it appears young."

*'''Drifter''': "Okay, when I said "get me outta here," I meant I'm done with your bull-"

*'''The Emissary''': "It grabs your hand."

*'''Drifter''': "Don't touch me."

*'''The Emissary''': "It begs. It begs you for help."

*'''Drifter''': "You call this a game?"

*'''The Emissary''': "It begs you for death. On this world, ruled by full Light, it cannot die. It has companions that are as long-lived. It hates them, and they hate it. It will never end. It will never die."

*'''Drifter''': "Get me outta here, Orin! It won't let go. I can smell it rotting!"

*'''The Emissary''': "And it smells you! You won't help it?"

*'''Drifter''': "I said I'm done!"

*'''The Emissary''': "Very well."

*'''Drifter''': "What the hell is wrong with you, you lunatic?"

*'''The Emissary''': "You asked about Light and Dark. Come find us again any time, Dredgen. Guardian."

''The Guardian approaches the Emissary of the Nine at Io''

*'''Eris Morn''': "Rat."

*'''Drifter''': "What's up, Three Eyes?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "What do you seek here, in this oubliette of the Nine?"

*'''Drifter''': "For the last time, I'm just helping the Vanguard out on a consultation basis."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Does [[Zavala]] know you're here?"

*'''Drifter''': "What Zavala doesn't know he won't have to worry about."

*'''The Emissary''': "The Dredgen never changes."

*'''Drifter''': "You stay outta this, lunatic!"

*'''Eris Morn''': "You watch the Emissary. And vice versa. What do the Nine want with you?"

*'''Drifter''': "Nothin'. Drifter's just… passin' through."

*'''Eris Morn''': "With a slice of the Nine Realms attached to your cargo bay."

*'''Drifter''': "Well."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "This reminds me of the Quarry near [[Asher Mir|Asher]]'s lab."

*'''Drifter''': "On Io? That's where that Pyramid parked. Right over the Tree of Silver Wings."

*'''Eris Morn''': "This is the last place the [[Traveler]] touched in our solar system. Perhaps the Darkness wishes to undo the work of the Traveler. What are the Nine trying to say with this? Is this their answer to the question?"

*'''Drifter''': "Must be. Too bad I don't speak lunatic."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "Hey, Three Eyes. You spending all your time on Io now?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Or the Moon. Depending on the weather."

*'''Drifter''': "What do you think of all this?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "All of what?"

*'''Drifter''': "The black fleet. The end of the line. End of the Light."

*'''Eris Morn''': "It hasn't come to that. Not yet."

*'''Drifter''': "How do you know?"

*'''Eris''': "It hasn't been dark enough."

*'''Drifter''': "Look at the sky. Nightfall's comin'."

*'''Eris Morn''': "We'll live in the night if we have to. I've been there before. So have you. So has the Guardian."

*'''Drifter''': "It ain't pleasant."

*'''Eris Morn''': "No. But necessary. For what follows."

*'''Drifter''': "And what's that?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Dawn."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "Hey, Three Eyes. Check this out."

*'''Eris Morn''': "What is it now?"

*'''Drifter''': "I finally opened my [[The Dawning|Dawning]] gift from [[Eva Levante]]. She got me this bulldozer of a book from the Golden Age. It's full of definitions of words! Never seen anything like it. Heh, must've had a lotta time back then."

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[The Last City|The City]] scholars publish a new dictionary every couple of years…"

*'''Drifter''': "So, uh, I went and looked up one of those nicknames you gave me: "meretricious rogue.""

*'''Eris Morn''': "Uh huh."

*'''Drifter''': "Listen, Moondust. Hand to my heart, I am flattered. But Drifter ain't got time for all that! Let's keep this businesslike."

*'''Eris Morn''': "I'm surprised you can read."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah. I'm better at math, though."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "Hey, Moondust. You're no Vanguard. Why do you hang with them?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] and Zavala are dear friends. Even if we don't always see eye to eye… to eye."

*'''Drifter''': "You should take it easy. Learn to relax. You're [[Ghost]]less now. Go live your life. Vanguard business won't end well for you."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Ghostless or not, my objectives would not change."

*'''Drifter''': "I've known Ghostless all my lives. Trust me. Live it while you can. No one gets a happy ending."

*'''Eris Morn''': "And you think those with Ghosts do?"

*'''Drifter''': "Actually, no. Guess I don't."

''The Guardian approaches the Emissary of the Nine at [[Mars]]''

*'''Drifter''': "This is Mars… one of the old man's many homes. I always wondered if his bite was as bad as his bark. But he went down like a punk. Heh."

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[Rasputin]]?"

*'''Drifter''': "That's his name. Osiris was bankin' on him. Kicked down that old Russian's door and threatened him with a gun to get him to help. He didn't know I was watching. And laughing. Heh."

*'''Eris Morn''': "There's no humor in that. Rasputin murdered the [[Iron Lord]]s. Stayed in the shadows to save himself as [[human]]kind burned."

*'''Drifter''': "Well, yeah. When you put it that way, it doesn't sound funny at all, Three Eyes!"

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "Darkness has encroached Mars."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, so what? We knew THAT the second the Pyramids jumped into the system and punched Rasputin in the head."

*'''Eris Morn''': "[[Ana Bray|Ana]]'s working on bringing the [[Warmind]] back online. Have faith."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, well, the old man went down like a sack full'a Ghosts. Maybe Ana can find a sturdier case to put him in. Like a… vending machine or something."

*'''Eris Morn''': "The two of you think alike. [[Exo|Her plan]] might surprise you."

*'''Drifter''': "If she wants to impress me, she should get a job — Hunter Vanguard, for instance."

*'''Eris Morn''': "She doesn't want to impress you. No one does."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "Mars. Home of the oldest [[earth]]ling in the system. Now, what're y'all trying to say with this?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Perhaps it's Ana Bray they're watching."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, they're not the only ones — I been waiting on her to take that seat. Why haven't you numbskulls filled it?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "What seat?"

*'''Drifter''': "[[Cayde-6]]'s personal toilet. Hunter Vanguard seat."

*'''Eris Morn''': [laughs] "Look at the Hunters, rat. Your question answers itself."

*'''Drifter''': "Yeah, guess I wouldn't want to be stuck herding cats and doing paperwork either. Shaxx would do it just to spite y'all."

*'''Eris Morn''': "He is welcome to try."

'''Or'''

*'''Eris Morn''': "Rat!"

*'''Drifter''': "Hey. How you living, Moondust?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Rasputin prevented an extinction-level event when he smashed [[the Almighty]] above the City."

*'''Drifter''': "Why does everybody say it like that? "Extinction-level event." We're down to one city! I could cause an extinction-level event."

*'''Eris Morn''': "And for now the Warmind is gone. What will we do the next time the clock strikes midnight? The Witch Queen waits to strike. The [[Calus|emperor of the Cabal]] has yet to act in the face of the paracausal fleet. The end could come at any time."

*'''Drifter''': "Sister, I've had a bug-out bag since the [[Dark Age]]. I'll be all right."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "You've changed since the last time I saw you, Three Eyes. I mean, since you were Two Eyes way back when. Not that we called you that." [laughs]

*'''Eris Morn''': "That Eris perished in the tunnels under the Moon, along with [[Brya|her Ghost]] and her friends. She died not knowing whether anything in this universe could bring hope against the likes of [[Crota]] and the Hive. She had the Light. And it was not enough."

*'''Drifter''': "Nope. It still ain't."

*'''Eris Morn''': "She died with hope in her grasp. With that hope came one last life."

*'''Drifter''': "Some people might envy just one last life."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Some people are fools."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "If this were authentic Mars, Ana Bray's setup would be a short walk from away. That sister needs to get her head out of the past. She could be so much more."

*'''Eris Morn''': "She should learn from you?"

*'''Drifter''': "Shouldn't everyone?"

''[[Singularity]], Nine Realms, Unknown Space''

''The Guardian traverses the "Sea". The Guardian eventually enters a room with a structure that appears similar to the one in the [[Queen's Court]], where the Guardian previously met with [[Mara Sov]].''

''Three iterations of the Kell Echo, a part of the Nine's answer to the Guardian's question, appear. The Guardian distributes motes of Light and Dark. The Guardian casts away the iterations of the Kell Echo. [[Devoured Ogre]]s appear. The Guardian defeats the Devoured Ogres and descends into another room with dark entropy. The Kell Echo appears. The Guardian battles the Kell Echo as dark entropy grows.''

''If the Guardian does not defeat the Kell Echo before it flees the room with dark entropy the Kell Echo flees the room. The Guardian sinks back into the arena. Three iterations of the Kell Echo appears. The Guardian distributes Motes of Light and Dark. The Guardian casts away the iterations of the Kell Echo. Devoured Ogre appears. The Guardian defeats Devoured Ogre and descends to another room filled with dark entropy. The Kell Echo appears.''

''The Guardian defeats the Kell Echo and is teleported into a room with the Emissary of the Nine and nine floating lights.''

*'''The Emissary''': "The Nine have spoken! Their answer is complete."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Then we learned nothing."

*'''Drifter''': "I wouldn't say that. Clearly, the Nine pass no judgment on Dark or Light. And they love passing judgment. Trust. That means in their eyes, the two are the same."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Zavala will disagree."

'''Or'''

*'''Drifter''': "That's some bloodlust, Hero. It hit me when you were tearing that last pack of Taken apart. What the Nine are trying to say: Light. Dark. It don't matter."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Light and Dark are not the same."

*'''Drifter''': "Didn't say the same. Just - the difference don't matter."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "And so the Nine have spoken."

*'''Eris Morn''': "That's your answer? That's incomprehensible."

*'''Drifter''': "I mean, that's just your opinion, man. Nah, I think this made sense."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Which part?"

*'''Drifter''': "Well… we got paid, didn't we?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "We have research to conduct, rat. You drag the Guardian into another mess like this, and I'll push you through an airlock."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "The Nine have given you their answer. We hope it sates your curiosity. You've certainly taught us much."

*'''Drifter''': "Uh… you're welcome. Let us know if there's anything else we can do."

*'''Eris Morn''': "Rat. You're useless."

*'''Drifter''': "Relax, Moondust. We got what we came for. Let's leave the giant head alone."

'''Or'''

*'''The Emissary''': "The answer is complete. You survived. Well done."

*'''Eris Morn''': "So you do understand the stakes of this reality. And you allowed the rat to lead the Guardian into dire straits. The person you were would never have allowed this to come to pass."

*'''The Emissary''': ""Orin" is longer here."

*'''Eris Morn''': "If that's true, I would have you pass a word to the Nine."

*'''The Emissary''': "And what word is that?"

*'''Eris Morn''': "Run."
