'''The Insight Terminus''' is a [[Strike]] that was released under the ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]]'' expansion. It was a PS4-exclusive strike until the release of ''[[Forsaken]]''. [[Guardian]]s must travel deep into the [[Vex]] machine world of [[Nessus]] to intercept a [[Cabal]] expedition led by [[Kargen, the Technocrat]], a powerful [[Psion Flayer]]. Kargen is attempting to utilize a Vex replica of the [[OXA Machine]] and must be stopped by the guardians.

Zavala: Guardian, I'm making the elimination of Kargen your priority on this operation. His crew has been active all over the system. From our intel, he's mostly targeting Vex installations. However, removing him can only strengthen our position. Put him down.
