| In order to summon Agon, two vex cubes forming an immunity shield over a [[Cyclops]] must be destroyed. Dismantling these two cubes will also stop the platforms from vanishing. Once the player has destroyed the Cyclops, Agon and multiple [[Harpy|Harpies]] will spawn out of the exit portal. The [[Hydra]]'s battle tactics are highly aggressive and can overwhelm and easily kill the player if they are not careful. Once Agon is defeated, the player can open the chest and leave via a portal back into the arcade. | | In order to summon Agon, two vex cubes forming an immunity shield over a [[Cyclops]] must be destroyed.

| ''The Guardian enters the Thrilladrome''
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[The Ghost]]''': I'm detecting a major Vex force inside, Guardian, and lots of utility access. We should find out if this building is critical infrastructure. [[Sam Moleyn|Sam]], are you on comms?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': Yeah, what's up, little bud?
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': We have Vex fortifying in a large structure on the waterfront.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': Lemme just find you on the security feeds and– whoa! Are you in the Thrilladrome?! Aw, I miss that place! It was THE premiere destination for extreme e-sports.
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': It's what? Like... video games?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': Extreme. E-sports.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardian progresses through the Thrilladrome and comes across a portal accessing the [[Vex Network]]''
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': Sam, there's a Vex portal accessing the building's mainframe!
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': Oh, that's super-bad. The 'Drome's got [[CloudArk]] root access to help it crunch cycles.
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': It WHAT?! We've got to get in there and stop it, Guardian!
| |
|
| |
| ''Only before [[Root of Nightmares]]' release''
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]''': Heh. Line after line of circuitry... beckoning corruption. <br> <br> ''and/or'' <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''Nezarec''': Vex. Hmph. Disappointing. The [[Sol Divisive]] are truly the best of you.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''Nezarec''': I will extend my power into these spaces.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''Nezarec''': Beings become perfectly malleable after so many hours of mind-numbing... "fun".<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''Nezarec''': [inhales] Breathe deep. Be thankful I can do no more than this.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardian eliminates Agon and completes the Lost Sector''
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': An entire building dedicated to fun in a district meant for entertainment! It boggles my mind. I can't even imagine something like this in the [[Last City]]. The best we have are bars... and that weird playhouse where everyone sings.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': An "arcade." What a concept! What do you think it's like to have free time and spend it playing video games, Guardian?<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': A virtual arena to test every skill you can imagine against your friends? [[Shaxx]] would love this place.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': Can we come back once things calm down, Guardian? Sam says they have a thing called "Skee-Ball." If I get enough points, I can win prizes!<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': An entertainment building with a backdoor into the city network. Makes me wonder what blind spots we have in the Last City's defenses.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': Vex assaults against this site keep ending at the firewall. It's a testament to Neomuna's encryption. I wonder if they'd share with the Tower?<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': Hey, Sam, why do the Vex need to invade the Thrilladrome anyway? Can't they access the CloudArk anywhere in the city?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': Yeah... they go over this stuff in primary school. Basically, the Vex use cascading quantum entanglement, but... yeah, the CloudArk's a psychoreactive Nth-dimensional fold.
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': Of... course...
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': It's like... neither one's a computer network, exactly, and the ways they're not is... different? I don't know; that class was boring.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': Seeing these gutted machines just takes me back to the Traveler and watching the [[The Witness|Witness]] just... dissect it. I can't shut it out.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': I worry, Guardian, that I'm nothing more than another machine, like these games. I haven't just switched off, like during the [[Red War]]. Is that because I'm a person? Or am I just plugged into something else now? But I suppose a game machine can't feel the absence of its creator...<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': The arcade again. Once the Vex get an idea in their heads, they don't let it go.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Sam Moleyn''': So, we got a saying in Neomuna: "Vex-locked." It means banging your head against the same problem, no matter how much it hurts. It's, uh... not a super-flattering saying.<br> or <br> <br>
| |
|
| |
| *'''The Ghost''': It's interesting how the Neomuni value recreation. Even in the Last City, with our struggle to survive, we have games and stories, and even the Crucible. Maybe "fun" is one of those things that makes you human.
