Glykon Volatus: Difference between revisions

The ship was stolen and boarded by a lone [[Guardian]], [[Katabasis]] and his [[Ghost]], [[Gilgamesh]], assisted by a [[Psion]] officer under the command of [[Emperor Calus]] in a [[Red Legion]] shipyard on [[Nessus]]. The ship was used for experiments on the [[Scorn]] in hopes that Calus would be able to understand more about the [[Darkness]]. Katabasis piloted the ship to the [[Reef]] where he rendezvous with Calus in a Loyalist vessel. It is here where [[Loyalists]] bring the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. The experimenting with the scorn continued, now utilizing the Crown as a means of observing how the Darkness interfered with the Scorn's corrupted consciousness. Many test subjects perished from "continuous neuron death" except for one who "spoke with many dead voices". This scorn would become the [[Locus of Communion]].

Soon after, the [[Black Fleet]] would arrive and seemingly wipe out many planets and moons following the events of [[Season of Arrivals]]. The Glykon Volatus would be caught in the very edges of this sweep of Darkness and become abandoned. Katabasis and his Ghost, still trapped aboard the vessel, begin to feel the effects of pure Darkness corruption. While finding a way to escape the locked ship, Katabasis and Gilgamesh begin to talk less and less to each other, growing distant, their personal connection from the light slowly fading. Strange [[Egregore|fauna/flora]] began to grow and develop aboard the ship and the corruption strengthened, Gilgamesh eventually craving suicide, or as he called it, "salvation". Katabasis was firm minded, and refused to let his Ghost kill himself. Eventually, Katabasis gives in, and destroys his ghost with a shot from the [[Dead Man's Tale]].  

It is here when Katabasis makes his way to the bridge of the ship and sends a distress signal, the Glykon Volatus being a Red-Legion vessel, sends the signal that is intercepted by [[The Guardian]] on the shipyard in the [[EDZ]]. The Guardian is then cleared for engagement and the rescue of the distressed Katabasis, referred to as "guardian friend". Aboard the vessel, the Guardian defeats the Locus, and finds a decomposing Katabasis in the bridge, strung up with Egregore tendrils, being sucked of light by the Darkness. The Guardian returns week after week, uncovering the secrets of the Glykon Volatus and Calus's ritual with assistance from both [[Osiris]] and [[Caiatl]].
