Steps

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

This section needs expansion. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

Step 1

Failsafe, fully updated and integrated into Vanguard systems, requires your help to investigate the strange behaviour of the Vex.

Secure high priority date to discover the connection between the Vex and the mysterious object that fell to Nessus.

---

Failsafe delivered a Standard Radiolite Sampler and asked you to investigate strange silica formations within the Well of Flame on Nessus.

• Begin your research with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

---

Failsafe has sent you a Standard Radiolite Sampler. It displays a series of radiation detection bands. There is also a note.

"Captain! This is the beginning of our research partnership. The Sampler I have sent you can extract unique radiolaria formations from new silica structures erupting on the surface of Nessus."

Failsafe has designated a central point for a large number of nodes within the Well of Flame.

Step 2

Failsafe requests you use the Standard Radiolite Sampler to extract samples from the Well of Flame on Nessus.

• Investigate the locations Failsafe marked on Nessus, where she anticipates you may find silica formations that emit a signal similar to that of radiolaria.
  • First sample taken
  • Second sample taken
  • Third sample talen

Step 3

• While extracting a sample, a minor quake occurred and revealed a unique object. Collect this object from within The Well of Flame.
  • Specimen collected

---

• Failsafe: Perfect, that's one sample isolated! At your convenience, Captain, bring it to me for processing!

Step 4

Deliver the research specimen to Failsafe's remote uplink in the H.E.L.M. for processing and analysis.

• Take the research specimen to Failsafe in the H.E.L.M. for analysis.
  • Specimen analyzed

---

You place the specimen into one of Failsafe's research bays.

Failsafe's pleasantly toned voice chimes in.

"Captain, I am so glad that you and I are able to embark on this journey of exploration and research together, in the metaphorical sense. I will be with you in spirit, and through radio transmissions, and satellite telemetry data, but not physically."

A scan passes over the specimen. "Time to put my new "body" to use."

"I'll begin my analysis right away. These new structures of radiolaria may reveal something about why Nessus, and the Vex, are changing. In the meantime, the radiolite's methodology for reformatting data has given me an idea for fabricating new fireteam equipment. More updates in the future."

Her tone flattens.

"For now, we should figure this radiolite stuff out. The Vex have always been focused on changing what's around them to suit them, not the other way around."

Research Instrument Fabricated: Radiolite Research Bay

Step 5

• Discuss your research findings with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Step 6

• Failsafe is analyzing the data you have claimed from the aberrant Vex on Nessus. She will contact you when her processes have finished.

Step 7

• Continue your Nessus research by speaking to Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Step 8

• Deploy Failsafe's proximity sensor in the Exodus Black area of Nessus. Keep an eye on your helmet's readout for proximity readings.

Step 9

• Deploy Failsafe's proximity sensor in the Glade of Echoes area of Nessus.

Step 10

• Despite incomplete scan data, Failsafe is confident she can triangulate the optimal location to scan from within the Hallows. Use Failsafe's highly advanced proximity sensor to find the optimal location to deploy her scanners and uncover the object.

Step 11

• Collect the research specimen within the Hallows.

Step 12

• Deliver the newly collected specimen to the terminal in the mainframe room of the "Exodus Crash" strike on Nessus.

Step 13

• Failsafe has detected an energy signature on Nessus matching that of NES002. She has dubbed it NES002-C and requests your on-the-ground assistance with hunting it down. She's excited to try out her new proximity sensor. Complete a run of Breach Executable and locate NES002-C.

Step 14

• Check Failsafe's initial analysis of the specimen.

Step 15

• Deliver your research to Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Step 16

• Failsafe is analyzing the data you have claimed from the aberrant Vex on Nessus. She will contact you when her processes have finished.

Step 17

• Receive a mission briefing from Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Step 18

• Locate sites from which to extract radiolaria samples.

Step 19

• Locate the next site from which to extract radiolaria samples.

Step 20

• Locate the next site to extract radiolaria samples.

Step 21

• Answer Osiris's call for assistance and meet him in the H.E.L.M.

Step 22

• Track down Saint-14 beneath the crust of Nessus.

Step 23

• Meet with the rescued Saint-14 in the H.E.L.M.

Step 24

• Discuss Saint-14's ordeal with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Step 25

• Episode: Echoes Act I complete. Ikora will contact you when Act II begins.
