:::::The players move off from their starting point towards the pulses. Not far from their start they encounter 3 [[Pike]]s which they can commandeer and use against the enemies in the area. In Version 1 these will be Fallen, with several [[Vandal]] snipers positioned through the area as well as more Pikes being piloted by the Fallen. Web Mines are also present.

'''Ghost''': let's see... Okay, the Fallen went that-a-way!
*'''Ghost:''' This webbing on the floor looks like some kind of [[Arc]] conductor.

*'''Ghost:''' Ow. Ow! This really stings.

*'''Ghost:''' Thanks! I'm never leaving your backpack again. Probably best to keep keep Arc energy away.
::Lower the barrier blocking your progress by eliminating the Fallen warriors


:::::The players kill Khirin and the way clears
*'''Ghost:''' Barrier is down! My scan showed the Fallen used Arc energy from Exodus tech to control everything here - including the barriers.


'''Failsafe (Cheery)''': Captain. May I speak with you in private?
*'''Failsafe (Cheerful):''' Arc overloads Vex systems. They start leaking milk.


'''Cayde''': This sounds juicy. What's going on?
*'''Ghost:''' Lovely.

*'''Ghost:''' Failsafe, we haven't seen any signs of Fallen tinkering with your ship.

*'''Failsafe (Cheerful):''' they're still crawling around. They seem right at home.


:::::The player moves through the Vex structure, which in this version contains Vex units. The players clear the area and enter a larger courtyard the entrance of which is blocked by yet another barrier. At the rear is a large piece of Fallen equipment powering the device. The floor is covered by a conductive mesh.
*'''Ghost:''' I've located another set of Arc pules. Don't worry, we'll find them.


:Analyze the Fallen Device

::Protect Ghost while he tries to lower the barrier


:::::The player must stay near the device while Ghost hacks it to lower the barrier, in order for this to advance. If the player gets to distant they will receive a reminder saying:

*'''Failsafe (Cheery):''' Captain, Ghost. I want to thank you again for doing this. I'm sure the damage feels worse than it is.


:::::Enemies spawn in and attack the players. These enemies may be Fallen or they may be Vex. In the case of the Fallen, modified [[Shank]]s called "Overcharge Shanks" will spawn in. These Shanks are modifications of the [[Exploder Shank]] and behave in the same way, approaching the player to detonate themselves in an explosion, except that the Overcharge Shank also constantly emits Arc energy, which will electrocute players nearby, slowing their movement, damaging them and preventing them from jumping away to safety as the Shank closes in and explodes.  
*'''Ghost:''' Haha. Of course. Let's hurry. She's melting.


:::::In the event of Vex enemy waves, the Overcharge Shanks will be replaced by [[Fanatic]]s
*'''Ghost:''' Lights are out. Where did they divert all the power to?


:::::The webbing around the device will also shock the player and Ghost when either the Overcharge Shank or Fanatic is near, extending the range of these proximal electrocution effects as the enemies close in on Ghost
'''Thaviks, the Depraved is defeated.'''


'''Ghost''': Ow. Ow! This really stings.
*'''Ghost:''' Exodus Black is all clear. Failsafe, you feeling any better?

:::::The arena is a shaped like a large ring with a smaller disc in the center of it, connected to the exterior ring by four bridges, which the player must remain on lest they fall to their death. Jumping between these will be limited during the fight by the shock effect from Overcharge Shanks. At 3 of the 4 sections of the external ring, where it is connected via a bridge more conductive mesh will cover the floor and thanks to electrical emitters connected to this mesh periodically conduct a charge when enemies are spawning in and the emitters are activated, or the Overcharge Shanks are near. These same 3 sections, to the right and back of the are which is slightly elevated, and the front, which has the lowest elevation, will also be sites for Fallen reinforcements to spawn in, and will not contain any decent cover. The exception to this is located to the left of the arena as viewed from entry, as this area has no electrical emitter plugged into its electrical mesh covering the floor to electrocute the player, and does not serve as a spawn point for any Fallen, and provides cover which may be hidden behind, crouched and fired over, or stood on top of which will negate the shock effect of Overcharge Shanks. So the other sections front, back and right are crap, the middle is a deathtrap and only the left is a good location, free of electrically traps, spawning points and provides ample cover. So go left.

This pattern repeats until Thaviks' health is reduced to 33% and he will then switch to swords instead of the Shrapnel Launcher.

Transcript[edit]

Original[edit]

(Mission Begins)

  • Zavala: The Fallen have tracked us to Nessus. They have the Exodus Black on lockdown, and damaged Failsafe's systems in their raid. Both are key assets to our endeavors here. Operation Piccolo has begun.
  • Ghost: Piccolo? Really?
  • Cayde-6: We don't have to call it that. We'll give it a better name. Later.
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): I'm sorry to inconvenience you, Captain. Thank you. I have marked a trail of Arc pulses the Fallen have left behind.

Track the Fallen through Arc Pulses

  • Ghost: One more set of coordinates! Those Fallen can't be far.

Pass through Arc Pulses so Ghost can use them to track the Fallen

  • Ghost: let's see... Okay, the Fallen went that-a-way!
  • Failsafe (Cheery): Captain. May I speak with you in private?
  • Cayde: This sounds juicy. What's going on?
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): Boop!
  • Failsafe (Depressed): Sorry Cap, I cut the line. There's a buzzing in my brain. I think the Fallen are ripping up my ship.
  • Ghost: I'll be right back!
  • Ghost: This webbing on the floor looks like some kind of Arc conductor.
  • Ghost: Ow. Ow! This really stings.
  • Ghost: Thanks! I'm never leaving your backpack again. Probably best to keep keep Arc energy away.
  • Ghost: Barrier is down! My scan showed the Fallen used Arc energy from Exodus tech to control everything here - including the barriers.
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): Arc overloads Vex systems. They start leaking milk.
  • Ghost: Lovely.
  • Ghost: Failsafe, we haven't seen any signs of Fallen tinkering with your ship.
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): they're still crawling around. They seem right at home.
  • Ghost: I've located another set of Arc pules. Don't worry, we'll find them.
  • Cayde: Hello? Everything okay?
  • Ghost: We're fine! Failsafe was just being fidgety.
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): Cayde unit? Ghost? Kindly delete yourselves.
  • Cayde: Failsafe, how you holding up, buddy?
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): I hid from the Vex for centuries! You blew my cover. Now the Fallen are inside my ship, tearing it apart! (Depressed): How do you think I'm doing?
  • Cayde: Uhhh, Ghost! How are you holding up buddy?
  • Failsafe (Cheery): Captain, Ghost. I want to thank you again for doing this. I'm sure the damage feels worse than it is.
  • Ghost: Haha. Of course. Let's hurry. She's melting.

Rework[edit]

(Mission Begins)

  • Failsafe (Depressed): Captain! You're finally here.
  • Saint-14: Failsafe knew you would answer her distress call.
  • Failsafe (Cheerful): The Captain enjoys dismantling Vex almost as much as you do, Saint-unit.
  • Saint-14: Hah! Are we rubbing you off on you, Failsafe?
  • Failsafe (Depressed): Not really. I've got plenty of motivation to destroy Vex.

The Guardians ride Heavy Pikes towards the Crash Site. Upon arriving, they defeat forces of the House of Salvation led by a Brig before being ambushed by Compelled Vex. Receiving an Arc Charge from destroying a Elite Hydra, they deposit it into a machine to lower the barrier leading into the maze.

  • Ghost: Be careful when I'm gone!

Arriving at the center of the maze, the Guardians destroys the Overcharge Shanks and summon their Ghost to hack into the Fallen's machine maintaining the barrier.

  • Ghost: This machine-it's some kind of Arc energy siphon.

As the Ghost hacks into the machine's systems, the Guardians defend it from hordes of incoming Fallen, including a Warrior's Enforcer. With the system successfully hacked, the fireteam slay a Disciple of Kridis before continuing their journey into the maze. Eventually they arrive at the wreckage of the Exodus Black.

  • Failsafe (Cheerful): I detect barriers nearby. These Arc charges may serve a related function.

Defeating Elite Compelled Minotaurs, the fireteam retrieve Arc charges from their remains and deposit them into a generator to lower the Fallen shield around a Scorch Cannon. They shoot the cannon at another generator to disable the barriers, thus allowing them to advance forward to the Glade of Echoes. Destroying a Walker standing in their way, the Guardians delve into a dark cave towards the Exodus Black's Aft.

  • Ghost: Brrr… cold and dark in here.
  • Saint-14: Perfect for an ambush. Stay on your guard.

Traversing up the platforms, the Guardians eventually arrive into the Exodus Black's Aft. Shortly after destroying the Shanks within the room, they are ambushed by Fallen forces led by Pykis, House Salvation.

  • Ghost: What was that?

As Pykis becomes severely wounded by the fireteam, it retreats and teleports way from the battle.

  • Ghost: This steal field is vulnerable to Arc energy! Guardian, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
