'''Terminal Overload''' is a [[Guardian]]-initiated activity that can be triggered as a [[Public Event]] on [[Neomuna]], similar to [[Escalation Protocol]], [[Court of Oryx]] and the [[Blind Well]], where a team of [[Guardian]]s engage both [[Shadow Legion]] and [[Sol Collective]] forces in an attempt to protect the CloudArk from hacks.

==Gameplay==
In the area designated for Terminal Overload, [[Sizmic, the Net-Desecrator]] will appear alongside the [[Disruptor Array]] and start channeling from within it into the ground. [[Nimbus]] will announce its arrival via comms, and a Heavy Ammo Crate will be present near the [[Psion]]. To begin the activity, one should destroy the three [[Pyramid Spike]]s of the Array, which will cause Sizmic to stop channeling and disappear.

===Phase 1===
;Stage 1
After the Array disappears, the Shadow Legion will arrive to repel the Guardians. More and more powerful troops will arrive, including [[Interceptor Pilot]]s and a [[Thresher]], until the 100% completion is achieved. At this point, all remaining Shadow troops will disappear.
;Stage 2
The [[Vex]] will steal away the array, forcing Guardians to chase after them in a different spot. They will have to stand in a [[Sync Plate]], withstanding the attack of Vex ground troops, until it is fully synchronized. This will make the three cubic Oracles vulnerable, and cause [[Arc Cranium Bearer]] [[Minotaur]]s to spawn, whose [[Vex Cranium]]s can be used to destroy the oracles.
;Stage 3
After the Oracles are down, the Vex will send in [[Minotaur Accompli]] to further delay the Guardians, which has to be slain to conclude the stage. Remaining Vex will teleport away and the [[Cabal]] will reclaim their weapon.
;Stage 4
The Shadow Legion will return under the leadership of [[Ludus, Array Foreguard]], who will fire upon Guardians and call even more reinforcements. Once Ludus reaches half health, they will activate an Immunity Shield, and three [[Portable Cabal Shield]]s will appear in the area. Destroying the generators will drop Ludus's shield, which will make the [[Colossus]] vulnerable.

Defeating the Foreguard will complete Phase 1, and Sizmic will return in another spot with the array. Phase 2 can be started as explained above.

===Phase 2===
;Stage 1
After the Array disappears, the Shadow Legion will arrive to repel the Guardians. More and more powerful troops will arrive, including [[Interceptor Pilot]]s and a [[Thresher]], until the 100% completion is achieved. At this point, all remaining Shadow troops will disappear.
;Stage 2
The [[Vex]] will steal away the array, forcing Guardians to chase after them in a different spot. They will have to stand in a [[Sync Plate]], withstanding the attack of Vex aerial units, until it is fully synchronized. This will make the three cubic Oracles vulnerable, and cause [[Arc Cranium Bearer]] [[Minotaur]]s to spawn, whose [[Vex Cranium]]s can be used to destroy the oracles.
;Stage 3
After the Oracles are down, the Vex will send in [[Minotaur Harpax]] to further delay the Guardians, which has to be slain to conclude the stage. Remaining Vex will teleport away and the [[Cabal]] will reclaim their weapon.
;Stage 4
As soon as Harpax falls, orbital strikes will start raining down on nearby Guardians. They will have to seek out three nearby [[Psion Spotter]]s, who are hiding behind their fellows. Killing the Psions will cause [[Testu'udo, Array Bulwark]] to [[Transmat]] in and start raining ordnance on the Guardians. Once the tank reaches half health, it will become immune and three more Spotters will appear via [[Drop Pod]], causing the bombardment to resume. Slaying these Spotters ends the bombardment and leaves Testu'udo vulnerable.

Defeating the Bulwark will complete Phase 2, and Sizmic will return in another spot with the array. Phase 3 can be started as explained above.

===Phase 3===
;Stage 1
After the Array disappears, Sizmic will return, this time at the head of more troops to personally rout the Guardians. They will initially be invulnerable, but after a few seconds [[Phalanx]]es called [[Net-Desecrator's Exploited]] will appear. Killing the Exploited will drop a well of resonant energy, which will give anyone standing in it the Shield Breaker buff. Using this buff allows one to damage Sizmic's shield, eventually making the Psion vulnerable. Sizmic will reactivate its shield if not constantly damaged, but when they are slain, the stage will be complete, and remaining Shadow Legion troops will leave.
;Stage 2
The Vex send forth their last resort, [[Protometon, Nexial Hijacker]]. The Minotaur will summon hordes of troops and launch blinding [[Grenade]]s. Once it loses a third of health, Protometon will become invulnerable and invoke three Oracles, which must be destroyed to continue the fight, as well as place several [[Seeker]] traps. It will repeat this tactic once more for the last third of its health, but it will then be vulnerable, and its death will complete the event.
