==Transcript==
'''[[Ishtar Sink]], [[Venus]]'''

*'''[[Cayde-6]]''': Those [[Fallen]] in the Ishtar Sink on Venus… story is they raided the [[Prison of Elders]] in the [[Reef]]. Got an [[Archon Priest]]. The [[Queen of the Reef|Queen]]'s bounty is high so we know it's powerful. We need to hunt this thing down before they fully restore it's soul.

''The [[Fireteam]] lands in [[Headlands]].''

*'''[[The Ghost|Ghost]]''': It won't take them long to restore the Archon Priest's soul. We'd better head for the caves.

''The [[Guardian]]s head for [[Ember Caves]].''

*'''Ghost''': [[Vex]]!? What are they doing in here?

''The Fireteam attacks Fallen and Vex.''

*'''Ghost''': If the Fallen are already fighting off Vex, they'll be ready for us. The Archon Priest will be well-protected.

''The Fireteam arrives in the [[Cinders]], Fallen and Vex are fighting. The Guardians clear the threat.''

*'''Ghost''': We'll need to get through! I'll check it out

''Ghost scans the system.''

*'''Ghost''': It's locked down tight. Just give me some time.

''Ghost hacks the locked door. The fireteam is ambushed by Fallen and Vex. The Guardians clear the threat.''

*'''Ghost''': Ok! It's open!

''Ghost taps into fallen comms.''

*'''Ghost''': Picking up Fallen comms. They're restoring the Archon Priest! We'd better move. Think they'd if we take their [[Pike]]s?

The Guardians battle through Ash Coves, and arrive in [[Winter's Run]].

*'''Ghost''': A cell. From the Prison of Elders. The Archon Priest is still inside.

''The fireteam clears the area of Fallen and Vex.''

*'''Ghost''': You sure this is a good idea?

''The Guardians rlease [[Aksor, Archon Priest]]. The fireteam is ambushed by heavy Fallen reinforcements. The fireteam kills Aksor, Archon Priest.''

*'''Ghost''': It was better off in the Prison of Elders. I'll contact the [[Vanguard]]. Let them know the Archon Priest is dead.

*'''Cayde-6''': One more Fallen Archon gone to dust. Good. But if the Fallen found the Prison of Elders, I'm sure we'll be hearing about more heists like this. Today, we celebrate.
