They begin to hunt down the answers by delving deeper into Nessus, beneath the Well of Flame. After defeating the new Baron of the House of Dusk and [[Hypolydron, Captive Mind]], they would begin to learn that the radiolaria is diverted and transported deep underground to fuel the Conductor's ambitions of locating the real version of [[Chioma Esi]]. They would uncover a Vex city upon defeating [[Kamarian, Radial Overseer]] and enhancing Failsafe's mainframe within the H.E.L.M. The Vex city is found on Nessus's [[Planetary Core]], where long ago, the Vex began to turn the planetoid into a Machine World and now serve as the Conductor's domain. They eventually meet the Conductor after defeating [[Antioptes, Hypogean Sentinel]] and recovering the memories of Saint-14 from the archived simulation of the [[Infinite Forest]]. The Conductor reveals herself as Maya Sundaresh, who is planning to use the radiolaria to enact a second Golden Age, but they narrowly escape as she threatens to turn them into Vex. Failsafe then instructs them to uncover the secrets contained within the planetary core. They soon learn of the Conductor's experiments when they discover data contained on the degaussed [[Exo]]minds within the Conductor’s lab. At one point, the Conductor also experimented with a pair of [[Batadactyl]]s in her attempts to locate the Chioma Esi she remembers. They then defeat the Hydra frames sent by the Conductor and enhance Failsafe's mainframe to its maximum potency. After arriving too late to save the real Chioma Esi from the Conductor's cruelty, they confront her outside her lab. She was able to escape with the Echo remaining in her possession, but the planet itself began to become dormant. | |||
