Transcript

• Zavala: Guardian. You got a tough road ahead. So I'm sending in Holliday with something ...special.

• Cayde-6: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa -- how special are we talking here?

• Zavala: Just keep moving. Storm the facility and board that Cabal Carrier. No matter the cost -- we MUST get to the Almighty.

• Cayde-6: So, Zavala, I gotta ask you something. When you told our Guardian friend here, and I quote, "I need Cayde," did you by any chance happen to maybe... cry?

• Zavala: Ahem. Holliday, What's your status?

• Cayde-6: Let the record show: no denial.

• Holliday: Still a couple clicks out, Commander. This girl's heavy!

• Holliday: Say hello to the "Drake". *Guardian recieves a Tank*

• Ghost: You got us a TANK?!"

• Cayde-6: You got them a TANK? How come I never got a tank?

• Holliday: You know you'd just break it.

• Holliday: Guardian: holler my way if you need another one of these armored beauties. Plenty more where that came from.

• Cayde-6: Oh so I get nothing, and they get as many as they want. I see how it is.

• Ghost: Don't think we're going to be able to shoot our way through that door. The override must be nearby.

• Holliday: Head's up! That carrier's spinning up its engines. You might want to pick up the pace!

• Zavala: Thumos is on that carrier. He has what you need to infiltrate the Almighty. MOVE!

• Ghost: Of course the Red Legion have tanks too.

• Ghost: Well. They've retracted the bridge. We're not going to be able to cross that gap.

• Cayde-6: Oh, your super tank can't fly? Oh...

• Ghost: That should give us a way across.

• Cayde-6: So, if it wasn't to give me a tank -- why did you send our favorite Guardian to find me?

• Zavala: I... find your high-risk, high-reward combat maneuvers to be effective and ...inspirational.

• Cayde-6: Well yeah, but with a tank they could be a million times MORE inspirational!

• We're almost out of the tunnels and coming up on the carrier

• Zavala: Good. The only thing standing between you and the Almighty is Thumos, the Unbroken. He's a Blood Guard. One of Ghaul's "chosen." The Red Legion will die for him. Why don't you help them with that?

• Ghost: They're shielding the carrier! Wait -- see those generators? We need to take them out if we're going to board that carrier.

• • Upon destroying a generator* Ghost: One generator down.

• • Upon destroying both generators* Ghost: Shield's down, but the ship's about toaunch without us!

• Zavala: Keep that carrier on the ground!

• Cayde-6: Couple missiles up its taillpipe ought to do the job.

• • Upon shooting the ship* Ghost: The carrier is grounded. Now let's find Thumos.

• Zavala: Good work, Guardian. And Cayde... after this is over, I'll talk to Holliday about your tank.

• Cayde-6: Aw... I missed you too, buddy.

• Mission Ends
