Adieu: Difference between revisions

{{Article quote|The Red Legion has overrun the Last City. The Light is gone. You are powerless. Live to fight another day.}}

'''Adieu''', also known as '''Exodus''', is the second [[story]] mission of Destiny 2. After the [[Red Legion]] invaded the [[Last City]], and cut off the light from the rest of the [[Guardian]]s by the order of [[Dominus Ghaul]], the [[Guardian]] evacuates the devastated city and leaves with a group of survivors lead by [[Suraya Hawthorne]]. They then are relocated to [[The Farm]], located deep within the [[European Dead Zone]].

==Objectives==

''The spirit of a bird flying through clouds. The clouds part, showing the Traveler over Echo Mesa, Io, the last place the Traveler touched before the Collapse.''

''Suddenly they fall into the abyss, vanquished, as the scene shifts yet again to a brief vision of The Leviathan, crowned with a  pair of suns, devouring a planetoid, possibly [[Nessus]].''

*'''Ghost''': This is awful – awful!

''The exertion has been too much and the Guardian collapses, unable to continue.''

''Ghost notices the Guardian, rushing up to them and healing them.''

''Able to walk again the player gets moving, trying to evacuate the ruined city. The player makes their way over the rubble and through a gap in the Wall towards the world beyond.''

''The player starts walking.''

''Four days after the attack. A falcon sits on a rock, watching the player as they make their way slowly through the mountains. It flies off as they approach. In the distance a group of seven [[Thresher]]s roar through the skies, their engines booming down the mountain passes. A banner flutters in the breeze. A sign. A beacon. Hope. Other Guardians! Dead... Their camp still smouldering from the attack. Bodies strewn everywhere.''

''The player searches the camp for anything useful. A radio antenna plays the following message on repeat:''

''The player finds the [[Sorrow MG2]] and ammunition for their [[Traveler's Chosen]] sidearm. Outside the camp the Guardian is ambushed by Cabal [[War Beast]]s, introducing the player to this enemy type. Follow your vision. Track the falcon through the mountains. The War Beasts defeated, the player heads off again.''

'''''{Twilight Gap}'''''

''One week after the attack''

''The player makes their way through the mountain passes. As they move along a precarious ledge, the [[City]] comes into view, and as the music hammers home the sadness of this destruction a Cabal warship passes low overhead. The player continues on, gaining a brief view of the lands outside the City's encircling mountains before being confronted by more Cabal and War Beasts. The player defeats these and continues on along more narrow paths, jumping from cliff face to cliff face as they procede until finally seeing the falcon again, sitting on a ledge opposite the player. The Guardian jumps, reaching out, their grip slipping as they fall short and plummet off the cliff, landing unconscious with a thud as the scene fades to black.''

*'''[[Hawthorne]]''': Oh look, somebody left a perfectly good Guardian lying around. Things must be worse than I thought.

''A loud explosive noise is heard, possibly a flare or a warning shot.''

*'''Ghost''': Ah, but… Wait! Where… where are you all going?

*'''Hawthorne''': As far away from here as possible.

*'''Ghost''': That falcon… it belongs to you?

''The Guardian nods a yes''

*'''Hawthorne''': Probably gonna need one of these, too.

*'''Hawthorne''': Time to make yourself useful. "Guardian."

''Hawthorne turns to the group behind her, gesturing to leave.''

''The camera turns and zooms out, showing Hawthorne and the Guardian running after her, moving towards a fleet of ships preparing to take off.''

*'''Consul''': Ghaul.

''Ghaul looks at his mentor, listening.''

''The Consul finishes triumphantly''

*'''Consul''': What more would the [[Dominus]] have?

*'''Ghaul''': I would have words with my guest.

''Ghaul turns away from the window as an X shaped torture rack, with the [[Speaker]] strapped to it, descends from the ceiling. Ghaul approaches the Speaker, face to face, staring at him.''

'''''{End Cutscene}'''''

''The squadron of spacecraft seen earlier is in center view as they fly in to The Farm, the Shard of the Traveler and the European Dead Zone is visible in the background as the camera shifts to follow them.''

*'''Hawthorne''': Coming up on the [[European Dead Zone]]. Gonna be our new home for a while.

''The Guardian transmats into the Farm as the camera swings around slowly panning out to show the new location, before focusing with the distant Shard fixed in the center of the scene.''

==Trivia==

[[File:Martirio_de_San_Andrés,_por_Juan_Correa_de_Vivar.jpg|thumb|left|<div style="text-align: center;border:none">A painting by Juan Correa de Vivar (1510-1566) depicting the death of St. Andrew on a diagonal X shaped cross.</div>]]

* During the cutscene where [[Ghaul]] is shown to begin interrogation of the [[Speaker]], the rack on which he descends from the ceiling is reminiscent of the St. Andrews Cross, which takes it's name from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_the_Apostle St. Andrew's] death via crucifixion on an X shaped cross rather than a + shaped cross. This imagery conveys the sense of martyrdom related to the Speaker, a theme present throughout the campaign.
