Sacrilege: Difference between revisions

|place= [[Lost Oasis]], [[Io]]

'''Sacrilege''' is the tenth [[story]] mission of Destiny 2, taking place between ''[[Six]]'' and ''[[Fury]]''. It is the first mission on [[Io]] and completion of this mission will unlock the Io [[Adventure]]s [[Unexpected Guests]] and [[Road Rage]].

During the course of ''Sacrilege'' the player locates [[Ikora Rey]] and is tasked with stopping Red Legion activities on Io. These activities are quickly discovered to be the theft of the [[Traveler]]'s energy still remaining in Io since it was incompletely terraformed by the Traveler at the end of the [[Golden Age]] and onset of the [[Collapse]]. [[Ghaul]], Ikora believes, intends to use this raw [[Light]] based energy to perform the equivalent to [[Grimoire:Enemies/The_Taken#The_Taken|Taking]] on the Cabal and make himself immortal in the absence of the Traveler's wilfully blessing the Cabal with the Light. During the course of this discovery being made the player is ambushed by the [[Taken]], who, though apparently leaderless, have been drawn like moths to the fire to the gigantic pillar of Light which shot into the air when the Cabal mining operations struck Light, or more accurately the residual energy on Io, which they attempt to steal, and the Taken attempt to invade and consume. The player manages to stop this Taken invasion for the moment, after they kill [[Irausk, Herald of Savathûn|Irausk, the Herald of Savathûn]], which, together with [[Ghost Scans]] throughout this mission suggest the Taken are not as leaderless as Ikora thinks.

:::::[[The Guardian]]'s ship, the ''[[Wanderwing]]'', passes over head, into the gently lit panoramic background of the Ionian evening as the camera lowers slowly, bringing the remains of [[Echo Mesa]] into view. As the camera lowers further still, and the wandering begins to turn, while a cliff overlooking the Mesa comes into view, along with the person standing on it. [[Ikora Rey]]. The ''Wanderwing'' zooms overhead and the Guardian transmats into the scene, and approaches Ikora's side.

:::::The player heads towards the source of the Cabal activity, witnessing a formation of [[Thresher]]s escorting a [[Cabal warship|Cruiser]], appearing over the horizon

::::::'''Ghost''': "This is sending out some kind of resonant signal. The same syllables, over and over: [[Savathûn|Sa... Va... Thun...]]"

:::::The player commences battle with the Taken. The first wave is composed of [[Taken Psion]]s, allowing the player to learn their troublesome combat behaviour. The area is full of several [[Ghost Scans]]:
