'''Sekrion, Nexus Mind''' | '''Sekrion, Nexus Mind''' is a massive [[Vex]] [[Hydra]] that lives deep within [[Venus]]. It is the [[Axis Mind]] in charge of converting Venus into a [[Machine World]]. In ''[[The Dawning]]'' Sekrion returns as [[Sekrion, Subverted Mind]]. | ||

Sekrion oversees the [[Hezen Protective]] in the expansion of the Vex [[Nexus]] network through the crust of Venus using its impressive computational capacity to coordinate between [[Minotaur]]s operating in the construction role. However, a fireteam of [[Guardians]] was dispatched by [[Ikora Rey]] to end the Axis Mind and hamper the Vex effort to incorporate the entire planet into their network. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', [[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Strike]]: [[The Nexus]]</ref> | |||
The loss of Sekrion brought a setback to the Vex as a significant node of the Vex network is lost, prompting [[Theosyion, the Restorative Mind]] to bridge time and bringing the Vex Mind back from the past to resume its duties. Its efforts were however uncovered by Ikora and the Guardians sent to destroy Theosyion, preventing any alternate outcome that would replace Sekrion's destruction. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQD1lLYizek '''Youtube''': Destiny The Taken King Infosplosion: Level 40, New Quest System - Game Informer Reveal]</ref><ref>[http://www.twitch.tv/playstation/v/15251482 '''Twitch''': ''PlayStation - Destiny: The Taken King Exclusive Content Reveal'']</ref> | |||

To counter the Guardians and restart the process of converting Venus into a machine world, the Vex uses its ontological technology found in the [[Vault of Glass]] to repair the Nexus Mind.

After being guided by Ikora and Cayde-6, the Guardians reach the restored Nexus Mind, which was corrupted by the [[Taken]] as [[Sekrion, Subverted Mind]]. Despite its restored chassis and newly upgraded abilities, the Taken Vex Mind is destroyed once again. | ||

In the Revisited version of the strike, Sekrion makes a return as the final boss. Once again, it stays in the center of the arena, pounding [[Guardian]]s from afar with its [[Aeon Maul]]. It has gained a special mechanic: like the [[Oracle]]s, if you get Marked by the Void then every Guardian must step in a pool of Light to remove the debuff, or else die after your screen goes completely black.

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The Taken version of the Nexus Mind bares a striking resemblance to the [[Seditious Mind]]. | |||
*Sekrion is the only Strike boss to both be [[Taken]] in one variant of the mission, and to be normal in another. | |||
