*'''Failsafe''': Greetings, Captain. I have been analyzing the Vex data you collected earlier; and... It's weird. Yes! It is super weird. If I were to posit an explanation... I would say that Nessus itself is undergoing rapid change on a molecular and geological level. I have been observing the Nessus Vex for centuries, and their current behavior is utterly unfamiliar to me. I mean, the Vex are a techno-organic mesh of networked consciousness... unbound by time, inevitable and patient, and cruelly ambivalent, et cetera. What I'm saying is they're decisive. And this feels different. Like they're... figuring things out. Something's happening on Nessus, and I'm not sure the Vex are behind it... and that terrifies me. Nothing you can't handle, right, Captain? It's an exciting mystery, and I can't wait to figure it out together! | *'''Failsafe''': Greetings, Captain.

*'''Ikora Rey''': Failsafe briefed me about your progress on Nessus. She seems pleased that things are going so well. I'm concerned they're about to get worse. My Hidden have been studying the Valence, the aurora that spread from the Traveler after the Witness' defeat. I don't have all the answers yet, but we know the object that fell from the Valence emitted an unusual power signature... unlike anything we've ever seen. We're operating under the assumption that the Nessus Vex took control of it. Their new behavior could be a result of interfacing with an unknown variable. I believe they're unpredictable, because they don't yet know how to command this power... but I think they're learning. Give Failsafe all the support she needs. She may be a bit unpredictable herself, but she's our best source of intel on the Vex. We can't afford to be reactive.
