Transcript

"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.

• Ikora: Guardian. The Conductor has diverted the flow of radiolaria to the planet’s core.

• Osiris: We know her goal. We must uncover her method.

Returning to the Planetory Core, the Guardian spots three Shadow Legion Threshers and a Harvester flying into the distance.

• Osiris: It seems a contingent of Shadow Legion has taken interest in Sundaresh’s plans. To what end, and under whose command, we do not know. Outpace them.

Delving deeper into the Conductor's domain, the Guardian traverse across Vex obstacles to eventually arrive at a large cavern occupied by Shadow Legion forces.

//MSUND12 CONNECTING…

//CONNECTED

I know you're here

• Osiris: I can only speculate as to the Shadow Legion’s motivations. We have seen allies… sublimated into the Vex network. It takes great strength of will to maintain a distinct identity within it.

• Osiris: The Echo grants that strength of will. We have seen it firsthand in the Conductor’s presence.

• Ikora: And we’ve stopped Psion incursions into the Nessus Vex Collective before. The Shadow Legion wants the same thing we do.

Retrieving Vex Modules and utilizing them to manifest platforms or dispel barriers, the Guardian gains access to the Confluxes, interacting with them to open the way forward to the Adytum.

What are you looking for?

A way to stop me?

To destroy my Collective?

To halt the future?

Discovering another Vex Module within a room, the Guardian retrieves it, causing the Deletion Walls to activate as they slowly closes in on the Guardian

Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted.

Fleeing down the hallway, the Guardian arrives at a new room as the Deletion Wall halts upon reaching the entrance. The Guardian exits the room to arrive at a new cavern, bringing forth a connection pathway with a Module.

• Osiris: Sundaresh is creating pluralities within the Vex minds, instigating individuality within her Collective.

• Ikora: Until now, each Vex Collective was guided by one mind, acting in unison. Maya has turned a collective into a community.

• Osiris: It makes them unpredictable. Our tactics must change accordingly.

Arriving into a new cavern with large Vex structures, the Guardian uses a tractor beam to arrive at a new room inhabited by Shadow Legion forces. Upon engaging with the enemy forces, the Subjugator leading the Cabal detachment retreats while Parados, Choral Mind appears.

• Osiris: This Vex Mind is acting as a caretaker for the planet’s core. An immune response to the Shadow Legion. Intriguing.

With the Guardian's arrival, Parados, Choral Mind retreats. Meanwhile the Guardian defeats the Vex and Cabal converging on them and uses a Vex Module to open the way forward.

I survived the Collapse

I will survive you

The Guardian arrives at a lab and installs a Vex Module to open a portal taking them into the neighbouring room. Defeating the Vex forces, including the Root Module Restriction, the Guardian utilizing the Modules eventually creates a portal taking them to the Vex Jungle Construct. When the Guardian attempts to retrieve another module, a barrier appears around it as forces of the Shadow Legion led by the Subjugator, Iziira, Pledged to Yirix appears.

Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted.

As the Guardian gravely damages Iziira, the Subjugator teleports away. Utilizing the Module, the Guardian arrives at another room Iziira retreats once more as the Tormentor, Eexonies, Pledged to Yirix appears. Pursuing the two Dread commmanders across different rooms, the Guardian eventually returns to the Vex Jungle Construct where they defeat Iziira, and Eexonios, Pyramid Remnants. Traversing across the jungle, the Guardian uncovers a cavern containing Ishtar Collective buildings.

• Ikora: Ishtar buildings. Here?

• Ikora: Are the Vex establishing facilities as reconstructions of Sundaresh's memories?

• Ikora: Taking comfort in the familiar, and forcing the Vex to give her what she needs. Sounds like Maya.

Defeating the Vex forces, the Guardian continues their journey through the jungle.

You come from a false future

You are nothing

An enemy of progress

Swaddled in ignorance

Raging against my command

Uncovering further Ishtar buildings, the Guardian destroys a Root Module Restriction.

I am Maya Sundaresh

I will recreate the past

I will create futures

Entering into another Vex portal, the Guardian appears at a Ishtar Research Facility, littered with dead Exo bodies. Accessing a degaussed Exomind, the Guardian listens to a recording.

• Maya Sundaresh: Fidelity test. What did we name our daughter?

• Chioma Esi: W-What? Maya?

• Maya Sundaresh: What did we name our daughter?

• Chioma Esi: Where are you? What’s going on? Please… Maya

• Maya Sundaresh: What did we name our daughter?

• Chioma Esi: …Nisa.

• Maya Sundaresh: Elaborate.

• Chioma Esi: We… debated names for weeks. Parthenogenetic incubation was moving along fine in the lab.

• Chioma Esi: [takes sobbing breath] Then the Collapse. Everything happened so fast; we had to leave! We—

• Maya Sundaresh: Answer latency beyond acceptable bounds. Degaussing Exomind.

• Chioma Esi: NO!

• Ikora: Osiris, I read your reports from Neptune. That was Chioma Esi… What did Maya do?

• Osiris: She’s searching for something. Using Chioma as a baseline to find our Golden Age among the simulations.

• Ikora: This is horrific.

• Osiris: I’m afraid this is just the beginning.

The Guardian reaches the Nessus's Core, where Parodos, Choral Mind is contained within a Vex shield.

• Osiris: Sundaresh has amassed a formidable Vex force. We can only delay her plans.

• Ikora: Guardian. Take this opportunity to strike.

The Collapse was inevitable

But so am I

//DISCONNECTED

Defeating Independent Variables, the Guardian receives Vex Modules and brings forth platforms with Vex plates. With the Guardian accessing the Vex plates, Failsafe successfully exposes a Vex Node maintaining Parodos's shield.

Vex security exploit detected! Happy to help, Captain!

Destroying the Vex Node, the Guardian disables Parados's shield

Vex security disrupted! Have fun, Captain!

As the Guardian heavily damages Parodos, the Vex Mind would respond by activating wall protocols. Despite its powerful weaponry, the Guardian succeeds in defeating Parodos.

• Osiris: Sundaresh is doing more than commanding the Vex. She’s taking control of an entire collective, and using radiolaria to search the Vex Simulation Network. Our Golden Age, in her understanding, must exist within it.

• Ikora: And Chioma?

• Osiris: A means to an end. A way to measure reality. A heart... weighed against a feather.

• Ikora: Could Maya find what she’s looking for?

• Osiris: I don’t know. That is not the question at the front of my mind. That question is only: What will happen if she does? Return to the H.E.L.M., Guardian. I need time to think about what we’ve found here.
