'''Fynch''': Good, you're here. I've got a feeling about this lead, Guardian. This could be big! Big enough to crack this case wide open.
 
:::The Guardian goes deep into a cave
 
'''Ikora''': Fynch. A hunch is not enough. We need evidence. Compelling evidence.
 
'''Fynch''': Okay, how about a secret, underground temple? 'Cause I found one, deep in the tunnels there.
 
'''Fynch''': And guess who it's dedicated to?
 
'''Ikora''': Savathûn
 
'''Fynch''': Yeah, well… kinda. It's dedicated to Sathona, Savathûn before she was a Hive God.
 
'''Fynch''': I mean, talk about compelling! Like, just imagine what's buried down there!
 
'''Ikora''': Imagine? So you haven't seen this object?
 
'''Fynch''': I didn't get eyes on it per se, but I know it's powerful, enough to attract a whole mass of Scorn.
 
'''Ikora''': If this object is what you promise, them it'll be worth it. Stay alert, Guardian. We can't miss this one.
 
:::Scorn appear
 
:::The Guardian defeats the Scorn
 
:::The Guardian enters the portal. Teleporting them close to the Temple of the Wrathful

:::Scorn appear

:::The gateway is opened
 
:::The Guardian enters the gateway and goes deeper into the cave
 
'''Ikora''': So, Fynch. Tell us more about this temple. How do you know it's dedicated to Sathona?
 
'''Fynch''': I only got a peak inside, but the statue in there looks just like her.
 
'''Ikora''': So Savathûn built a mausoleum for her younger self, than abandoned it. Why?
 
'''Fynch''': Mmm, I don't know. Embarrassment? Who isn't a little… ashamed of their past?
 
:::The Guardian reaches a room with a dead end
 
'''Ghost''': Dead end. But there's an illusion here-with Savathûn's signature. So… she didn't leave this area totally unprotected.
 
'''Ikora''': Why didn't she return to upgrade her defences with the Light? Why haven't the Lucent Hive come back to confront the Scorn?
 
'''Fynch''': Oh, maybe it's bait! Maybe she's luring the Scorn in so she can convert them, use 'em against the Witness.
 
'''Ikora''': I highly doubt Savathûn would gamble her throne world for the sake of a few Scorn brigades.
 
'''Ikora''': No, Savathûn and the Witness are fighting a turf war. You don't cede ground unless you're losing.

'''Fynch''': Now, I don't technically have any glimmer, but I do have a pretty solid theory based on what we've found so far-
 
'''Ghost''': Now's not a good time, Fynch.
 
'''Ikora''': Yes. Don't distract the Guardian.
 
'''Ikora''': We're already taking a gamble that this thing has the answers we need.

'''Fynch''': No, no, there's something there, I swear!
 
'''Fynch''': Wait! What if the object is the statue itself!
 
'''Ghost''': Or one part of the statue. That worm familiar looks like it's a separate peace.

'''Ghost''': We got it. Thanks for the concern, Fynch.
 
'''Fynch''': Phew! Well, I never doubted you for a second.
 
'''Fynch''': Ikora was worried, but I knew you two could handle that Ahamkara. Wasn't even a real one, heh!
 
'''Ikora''': The danger was real enough.
 
'''Ikora''': I never should have sent the Guardian in on such shaky intel. Even if it was our only lead.
 
'''Ghost''': Well, we made it out in one peace. And if this object shows us how Savathûn got the Light, the risks were worth it.
 
'''Ikora''': Yes. Let's hope.
 
'''Fynch''': Yeah! [chuckles hesitantly] Go, team?
