'''Utopia''' is the seventh [[story]] mission of Destiny 2. Completing this mission unlocks the planet [[Nessus]] and the mission ''[[Looped]]'', as well as the [[Adventure]]s ''[[Siren Song]]'' and [[Deathless]]''.
'''Utopia''' is the seventh [[story]] mission of Destiny 2.


During the course of ''Utopia'', [[The Guardian]] descends into the [[New Pacific Arcology]] to search for a Golden Age CPU to crack intercepted Cabal communications. The communications reveal that the [[Cabal|Cabal's]] star killing superweapon, [[The Almighty]] to be in orbit around our Sun, prompting requiring an urgent reunification of the [[Vanguard]] and an assault on the Almighty before it destroys the entire Solar System.

'''{Gameplay}'''
''The Guardian moves towards the [[New Pacific Arcology]]''
*'''[[Zavala]]: [[Amanda Holliday|Holliday]] has detected an unusual amount of electricity being re-directed into the Arcology
*'''Amanda Holliday''': Yep. Juice like that can only mean one thing: a network of CPU's - powerful ones. Maybe powerful enough to decrypt that Cabal signal we intercepted.
*'''Zavala''': Unfortunately we don't know where the network might be located.
*'''Holliday''': So you're gonna have to snoop around, not draw too much attention.
*'''Zavala''': Guardian, securing this asset could turn the tide of this "war" with the [[Red Legion]]. Without it... I don't know what comes next.
''The player enters [[Solarium]], fighting a small band of [[Fallen]] outside it which includes a [[Servitor]]. The player defeats these and enters the Solarium proper.''
*'''Arcology Operating System''': Welcome to [[New Pacific Arcology]], the bright future of space colonization in the shadow of [[Saturn]].


*'''Ghost''': Sound's like the Arcology's operating is back online.

*'''Holliday''': I knew it! Keep an eye out for an OS access terminal. You can use it to pinpoint the CPU network.
:Complete mission "Utopia" on Titan
::Venture deeep into the heart of the Hive to retrieve a powerful Golden Age CPU - and make it out alive


''While in the Solarium the Operating System will continue on the loudspeakers, saying:''

:Secure a Golden Age CPU to decrypt Red Legion intel
::Find a way into the Arcology and locate the Central Processing Unit network


*'''Arcology Operating System''': Thirty four percent of Titan's citizen's hope that the [[Traveler]] will terraform the ocean-moon soon.
:::::The player moves towards the [[New Pacific Arcology]]


*'''Arcology Operating System''': The [[Traveler]]'s sudden departure from [[Io]] was a surprise to many. But experts insist should trust in the Traveler's choices.
'''[[Zavala]]: [[Amanda Holliday|Holliday]] has detected an unusual amount of electricity being re-directed into the Arcology


*'''Arcology Operating System''': Local officials will neither confirm nor deny the existence of any so-called deep-space-anomaly.
'''[[Amanda Holliday]]''': Yep. Juice like that can only mean one thing: a network of CPU's - powerful ones. Maybe powerful enough to decrypt that Cabal signal we intercepted.


''A [[Ghost Scans|Ghost Scan]] is located in the vicinity

*'''Ghost''': "Screen's dead, but the feed's still running. Ooh, kind of a catchy jingle. '[[New Pacific Arcology]]! The next frontier is you.'"


''The player continues into the Arcology.''
'''Holliday''': So you're gonna have to snoop around, not draw too much attention.


*'''Ghost''': Over there. One of the access terminals we're looking for.
'''Zavala''': Guardian, securing this asset could turn the tide of this "war" with the [[Red Legion]]. Without it... I don't know what comes next.


*'''Ghost''': The CPU network is deep in the maintenance levels. Amanda, is this what we're looking for?
:'''Solarium'''


*'''Holliday''': Bingo! That's the place!
:::::The player enters [[Solarium]], fighting a small band of [[Fallen]] outside it which includes a [[Servitor]]. The player defeats these and enters the Solarium proper.


*'''Ghost''': OK, I've got the location. Let's find a way down.


''The terminal display has now changed from its earlier screen reading "Welcome to New Pacific Arcology" in English, Chinese and Russian, to showing a schematic map of the Arcology's "Network Layout" identifying the CPU's location and describing the CPU as a "Quantum Core" in all three languages.

'''Arcology Operating System''': Welcome to [[New Pacific Arcology]], the bright future of space colonisation in the shadow of [[Saturn]].


''The player enters the [[Festering Halls]] and is ambushed by the [[Hive]], among them is a yellow bar "Revenant Acolyte". The player kills the Hive. To the right of the area is a defunct monitor [https://www.destinypedia.com/File:Tm_Festering_Halls_3.PNG TM-FH-3]:''
'''Ghost''': Sound's like the Arcology's operating is back online.
*'''Ghost''': "The [[New Pacific Arcology|Arcology's]] operating system isn't very smart. Nothing even close to an AI. Lots of entries here, different names. It may not have had a personality, but it made living here better for a lot of people."


''[https://www.destinypedia.com/File:TM_Festering_Halls_2.PNG TM-FH-2] is also nearby, next to the doorway to head further into the Arcology.''
'''Holliday''': I knew it! Keep an eye out for an OS access terminal. You can use it to pinpoint the CPU network.
*'''Ghost''': "We saw this rune before, on the [[Dreadnaught]]. It means either 'doorway' or 'treasure' or 'chamber.' Perhaps the [[Hive]] use this rune to tap into their Throne-world dimensions."''


''The player continues through the door into the hallway beyond where they encounter a Wizard and more Hive exiting a now permanently locked door besides a giant hole in the floor, and Ghost Scan ''[https://www.destinypedia.com/File:TM_Festering_Halls_1.PNG TM-FH-1]:
:Locate the CPU network
*'''Ghost''': "These [[Hive]] spawn pods are different from the ones we saw before. Maybe a different brood. Or a different generation. Gross and confusing."
::Find a New Pacific Arcology OS access terminal


''The player kills the Wizard and its compatriots.''
:::::While in the Solarium the Operating System will continue on the loudspeakers, saying:


*'''Ghost''': Look's like the Hive dug a shortcut for us. Let's head down that hole in the ground.
'''Arcology Operating System''': Local officials will neither confirm nor deny the existence of any so-called deep-space-anomaly.


''The player enters the hole and proceeds through the dark nest below''
'''Arcology Operating System''': The New Pacific Academy is proud to offer degrees in Methane-Oceanography and Tidal Engineering


*'''Ghost''': We're definitely in Hive territory now.
'''Arcology Operating System''': Thirty four percent of Titan's citizen's hope that the [[Traveler]] will terraform the ocean-moon soon.


*'''Zavala''': Indeed. Keep radio chatter to a minimum. We don't want to draw any... unnecessary attention.
'''Arcology Operating System''': Attention science lovers! The [[Ishtar Collective|Collective's]] lecture on the terraforming of Io begins in five minutes in the Cassini Library.


''The Hive have already heard the player's approach and attack them, led by a regular [[Knight]] equipped with a [[Cleaver]]. The player defeats the Hive, continuing on to where they encounter a [[Shrieker]]. The Shrieker is defeated and the player continues on into another room, where they fight more Hive.''

''The player encounters the [[Ogre]], [[Garmurg]]. The player defeats Garmurg, dropping down the hole he came from, and continues deeper into the Arcology towards the CPU.''
:::::The player continues into the Arcology.


''The player continues on, jumping through some elevator shafts, and access shafts, with Hive membranes or destructible metal grates blocking their path on occasion. As they continue, the environment becomes darker and more claustrophobic. [[Thrall]]s ambush the player at several locations throughout the tunnels.''
:'''Festering Halls'''


''Ultimately the player reaches the CPU room, which they drop down into from an air vent in the ceiling.''
'''Ghost''': Over there. One of the access terminals we're looking for.


''The Guardian picks up the CPU''
:Locate the CPU network
::Deploy Ghost to interface with the New Pacific Arcology OS


*'''Arcology Operating System''': Warning. CPU network disrupted.
::Access Arcology Systems


*'''Ghost''': Well there's no way the Hive didn't hear that alarm.
'''Ghost''': The CPU network is deep in the maintenance levels. Amanda, is this what we're looking for?


*'''Zavala''': Move it, Guardian!
'''Holliday''': Bingo! That's the place!


''The player is ambushed by several dozen Hive on either side shooting at them, forcing them to flee with the CPU. Once picked up the CPU cannot be put down, leaving the player in a third person mode where they cannot shoot back or even melee with the fragile CPU. The player escapes the CPU room.''
'''Ghost''': OK, I've got the location. Let's find a way down.


*'''Ghost''': We got the CPU, but we stirred up the entire Hive colony, and it's a long walk to the surface.

''The player then escapes through the Hive colony in the tank, ramming through the numerous Hive secretions, materials and troops in their way as they drive to the center of the Arcology.''
:::::The player kills the Wizard and its compatriots.


*'''Ghost''': This road leads to the center of the Arcology. We'll need a way out once we get there.

::Remove a CPU from the New Pacific Arcology network.


*'''Holliday''': Things may finally be looking up for us.
:::::The player approaches the CPU's Quantum Core


''The player reaches Holliday''
::Pick up CPU


'''{Mission Ends}'''
'''Arcology Operating System''': Warning. CPU network disrupted.


'''[https://youtu.be/lyLpDSJ7IIg {Cutscene}]'''
'''Ghost''': Well there's no way the Hive didn't hear that alarm.


''A planet before a sun. The camera zooms in and comes around slowly while the music's drums beat with dramatically in the background. As the camera draws closer we can see the planet is wrecked, cracked open by gigantic continent spanning fissures through which the planet's molten core can be seen.''  
'''Zavala''': Move it, Guardian!


''The camera passes by the planet and its debris, as [[the Almighty]] comes into sight along with a flotilla of [[Cabal Warship]]s. The Almighty is siphoning planetary material from the one end, and injecting a bright blue stream of ionized plasma into the sun out the other end. The camera focuses in on the beam, tracking it as it burns through the star's photosphere, generating a massive magnetic disturbance visible in the rapidly spreading [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot sunpot].''
:Escape the Arcology with the CPU
::Find a way outside


''The star destabilizes, the Almighty stops firing its weapon, and teleports out of the way of what comes next.''
:::::The player is ambushed by several dozen Hive on either side shooting at them, forcing them to flee with the CPU. Once picked up the CPU cannot be put down, leaving the player in a third person mode where they cannot shoot back or even melee with the fragile CPU. The player escapes the CPU room.


*'''[[Sloane]]''': They call it..."[[The Almighty]]." The crown jewel of the [[Red Legion]] and life's work of their leader...[[Ghaul|Dominus Ghaul]].  
'''Ghost''': We got the CPU, but we stirred up the entire Hive colony, and it's a long walk to the surface.


''The Almighty vanishes, leaving nothing but a giant black sunspot from the destabilization of the star's magnetic fields. The camera starts moving backwards, back through the planetary debris
'''Holliday''': They're not gonna make it out of there, Commander


*'''Sloane''': Ghaul has subjugated hundreds of worlds
'''Zavala''': Guardian. Can you make it to the Center of the Arcology? We should be able to send someone to pick you up from there. Holliday?


''The planet is gone, harvested by the Almighty before its departure, with only a few planetismal sized rocks left where it once was.''
'''Holliday''': Yeah... yeah, I'm on it.


*'''Sloane''': Those that resisted... no longer exist
:::::In the next room is a vehicle that the player can enter with the CPU and drive. The vehicle is basically a [[Drake]] tank without its armaments, and serves to train the player in steering this class of vehicle.


''The star implodes -
::Enter Driver's Seat


*'''Sloane''': You see the Almighty...
:::::The player then escapes through the Hive colony in the not-a-Drake-tank tank by ramming it through the numerous Hive secretions, materials and troops in their way as they drive to the center of the Arcology.


''- and explodes in a supernova.''
'''Ghost''': This road leads to the center of the Arcology. We'll need a way out once we get there.


*'''Sloane''': ... annihilates stars.
'''Holliday''': I'm strapping in and about to take off. I'll be there ASAP.


''The supernova explosion spreads, wiping out the first planet, as well as all other planets in the system.''
'''Zavala''': Amanda!


''The camera zooms out from the distant explosion while a Cabal march picks up in the background. The camera zooms out and begins to shift towards our own Solar System''
'''Holliday''': Sir?


*'''Sloane''': Nothing - and no one - survives Ghaul's ambition.
'''Zavala''': Fly fast. Fly safe.


''[[The Moon]], [[Earth]] behind it, and there, floating above the Earth, above the [[City]], the [[Traveler]], as seen through a Red Legion scan''
'''Holliday''': Yes, sir!


*'''Sloane''': What he wants... is the [[Traveler]]
:::::The player reaches the center and proceeds along a long bridge to the landing platform where Holliday's [[Hawk]] jumpjet is waiting for them


''The scan focuses in on the Traveler.''
'''Holliday''': Got eyes on ya, pal! Meet you at the end of the road!


*'''Sloane''': And its Light.
'''Zavala''': Good work - both of you. Let's get that CPU back to Control and decrypt these transmissions.


''The camera passes by Earth to look at the Sun in the distance''
'''Holliday''': Things may finally be looking up for us.


*'''Sloane''': As for the Almighty... it's now pointed at our sun.
:::::The player reaches Holliday


*'''Sloane''': In short, sir...the war's over. And we've lost.

'''{Cutscene}'''


''Zavala, Sloane, and the Guardian are gathered around table in the Control Center at Siren's Watch, Titan. A close up of Zavala hunched over the table, struggling to come to terms with his failure.''


*'''[[Zavala]]''': We built our home under the protection of the [[Traveler]]. When our enemies attacked, we built a wall that stood for centuries. But now walls mean nothing.


''Zavala stands up straight.''


*'''Zavala''': This enemy has taken our home. Taken our [[Light]]. And now they threaten our very existence!


''Anger and determination building as Zavala looks at both Sloane and the Guardian''


*'''Zavala''': We're going all in on this... "[[the Almighty|Almighty]]". How long before the fleet's combat ready?


*'''Sloane''': Zavala, wait -
'''''{End Cutscene}'''''


''Zavala punches the table.''
'''''{End Mission}'''''
 
*'''Zavala''': If we wait, we die. But if we attack together, we can take back our home, our Light... our hope. Or we die trying.
 
*'''Zavala''': "Now. I need my fireteam. I need [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] and [[Cayde-6|Cayde]]."
