| '''{Loading Screen}'''
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Petra Venj|PETRA]]''': [[Guardian]], new orders from the [[Mara Sov|Queen]]. She wants [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]] captured alive. I live to serve, of course. Just makes things a little harder, that's all. You'll be the tip of the spear. Get down there, find him and pin him. I'll be nearby with a capture team of [[Prince Uldren]]'s [[Crow|Crows]].
| |
| | |
| '''{Gameplay}'''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': The team and I just set down in a canyon a few kilometers from the Citadel. When you find him, we'll be ready.
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam sets off along the path towards the [[Citadel]].''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': So, he tried to conquer the other [[:Category:Fallen houses|Fallen Houses]] and failed. Maybe now it's about the weapons? Outfitting the [[House of Wolves|Wolves]] with [[Vex]] instruments of war?
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Variks, the Loyal|VARIKS]]''': If Skolas thinks he is [[Kell of Kells|Kell]] of prophecy, then weapons could turn the tale.
| |
| | |
| ''The [[fireteam]] reaches the Citadel.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': Whatever he's up to, I've got a bearing on that signal. Top of the tower. Better start climbing, Guardian.
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam fights through some hallways and up a flight of stairs. They enter a large room open to the sky, with a tall lift protected by a shield. Vex and Fallen are fighting intensely.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': Hmm. Strong gravity distortion at your location.
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam dispatches all enemy forces and overrides the lift's shields. They enter the lift.''
| |
| | |
| *'''VARIKS''': I was [[House of Judgment|House Judgment]] scribe. I stood with Skolas for much of [[Reef Wars]]. Now, I stand with you in Judgment of Wolf Kell. That feels...right somehow.
| |
| | |
| ''The lift deposits the fireteam at the top of the Citadel. There is a massive chasm between them and the next area. Small platforms flicker in and out of view across the void. [[Skolas' Ketch]] can be seen in the distance.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': Skolas's Ketch! This is it, Guardian.
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam begins to cross the chasm using the warping platforms.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': The Vex tech here matches a signature from the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]]. These machines fade in and out of our timeline. Watch your step.
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam continues the unstable platform hopping.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': You're getting close. The Crows and I are inbound.
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam reaches the final area. Suddenly, numerous transfer gates open, and hordes of Fallen teleport in as if they were Vex.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': What? Guardian, there are dozens of new Wolf signatures, and the number keeps growing. It's the Vex tech!
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': Skolas! He's pulling the entire House of Wolves through time!
| |
| | |
| ''The fireteam fights their way to a clearing with a large gate guarded by two [[Wolf High Servitor]]s. Skolas, Kell of Kells appears through it and roars something in Fallen speech.''
| |
| | |
| *'''VARIKS''': He just said, "I stole the gift of Freedom. Secrets of time and space. House of Wolves will stand forever."
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': He has no where left to run! Take him down!
| |
| | |
| ''The Guardian defeats Skolas, who collapses to the ground, alive but weak. A [[Vestian Outpost|Vestian]] ship arrives and surrounds him in a containment field.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': The House of Wolves is broken! Stand by for a transmission.
| |
| | |
| *'''QUEEN''': This is Mara Sov, Queen of the [[Awoken]]. Guardian, when you first came in search of the [[Black Garden]], I thought of you as just another [[Mote of Light]], too far from its [[Traveler]]. I see now that I was wrong. Accept my thanks, and the promise of a fitting reward. Petra, bring Skolas to me!
| |
| | |
| *'''PETRA''': Capture confirmed. I almost feel sorry for Skolas here. Conversations with the Queen can be...harsh. Anyway, I'll meet you back at the [[Reef]] with your reward.
