With the Nessian Vex under her command, Maya embarks on her mission to find Chioma Esi within the Vex Network, and bestow upon Humanity a new Golden Age.<ref name="Shell">'''Bungie (2024/7/30)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Shell]]''</ref> The Guardian is dispatched to Nessus by Ikora to investigate the impact site. Failsafe, Osiris, and Saint-14 would be selected to assist the Guardian in their investigation.

|- | |||
| 11 June-25 June || A Familiar Voice || The Guardian continues their investigation on Nessus by uncovering data for Failsafe and using her B.R.A.I.N module to deposit [[Radiolite]] samples they find on the planet. While the investigation continues, the House of Salvation begins to follow the Vex into Failsafe's primary mainframe within the Exodus Black, led by [[Pykis, House Salvation]]. They were able to drive out the House Salvation forces before continuing their investigation.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/18)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Exodus Crash]]''</ref> Before they can continue their investigation further, Osiris summons them to the H.E.L.M. for an emergency concerning Saint-14. When Saint is unable to respond to his comms, the Guardian pursues him into the Well of Flame. After defeating the Vex Mind guarding the passage below, they discover what happened to him: he becomes brainwashed by the Conductor, but he is able to break out of its control. He, Osiris, and Ikora meet back at the H.E.L.M. to discuss recent events. Saint tells them that the Conductor convinced him that he is a copy, shaking his convictions.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/25)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Mesmerize]]''</ref> Ikora and Osiris comfort him, but he also reveals that he can still hear the Conductor whispering to him. They leave, and Failsafe informs the Guardian of her angry thoughts on the harm the Conductor inflicted on Saint. | |||
|- | |||
| 16 July-30 July || A Distant Reply || Realizing the danger that the Conductor poses with the power offered by the Echo of Command, the Guardian shifts their attention to delving deep into Nessus's tunnels. They arrive at the planet and find that the Echo arms race has begun as the Eliksni of the House of Dusk are being led by [[Kalliks, Baron of House Dusk]]. Even worse, the radiolaria across the surface is being diverted deep underground to fuel the Conductor's ambitions. After defeating the Baron and [[Hypolydron, Captive Mind]],<ref>'''Bungie (2024/7/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Battleground: Delve]]''</ref> Failsafe was able to grant them ingress into the Aqueducts, where they would track the flow of radiolaria into Nessus's planetary core. After defeating [[Kamarian, Radial Overseer]],<ref>'''Bungie (2024/7/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Battleground: Conduit]]''</ref> they were unable to enter the Planetary Depths until they were able to deploy Failsafe's nanobots. They do so and enter a Vex city being constructed underground and defeat [[Antioptes, Hypogean Sentinel]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/7/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Battleground: Core]]''</ref> After tracking the direction of radiolarian flow on the planet, Ikora and Failsafe formulate a plan: they would enter the Vex Network and find the body of Saint-14 there. They would enter the simulation through the archived area of Nessus despite Orisis's objection against it. Saint remembers his time and his love for Osiris. With renewed confidence, Saint asks Failsafe to track the Conductor's location, to which she obliges. The Guardian, Osiris, and Saint finally meet the Conductor, who reveals themself as Maya Sundaresh, who is using the imprint of Lakshmi-2 and controlling the flow of radiolaria. They narrowly escape as Maya threatens to convert the Sol System in the Vex's image. They check up on Saint, and he informs them that Failsafe will contact them once she is ready to share her plans to stop Maya's plans for the Sol System.<ref name="Shell"/> | |||
|- | |||
| 27 August-10 September || A Resounding Truth || Maya explains the motivation behind her actions on Nessus: she is simply seeking out her version of Chioma Esi. After the Guardian checks in Faisal’s regarding the Conductor’s message, she is able to gain the coordinates to Nessus's planetary, which also serves as the Conductor's lab. After they arrive at the Planetary Core, they learn that the Shadow Legion are also looking for Maya’s Echo. Using the Vex Module scattered around the core, the Guardian was able to learn that the Shadow Legion is being by Yirix and the forces loyal to her: [[Eexonios, Pledged to Yirix]] and [[Iziira, Pledged to Yirix]]. They are able to enter the Conductor’s personal laboratory after defeating the Pyramid Remnants wnd uncover the Conductor’s cruelty by forcing copies of Chioma Esi to a fidelity test. The Conductor responds by sending in Hydra frames including [[Parodos, Choral Mind]], [[Stasimon, Choral Mind]], and [[Exodos, Choral Mind]]. After defeating the final Hydra and learning about the relationship between Maya and Chioma, they confront her outside her lab. Maya escapes into the Vex Network with the Echo in her possession after Saint breaks free of the Echo's power. Though she escaped with the Echo, remnants of her memories spill across the planetary core and the Guardian finally learns the truth about Maya Sundaresh through the remnants after they interact with the anomalous objects housing the memories. | |||

| 8 October || Na-Veskirisk || The second Echo, containing the memories of the pre-Whirlwind Eliksni, would fall under the possession of Fikrul. He uses the Echo's power to convert living Eliksni into a new breed of Scorn. The Eliksni would call this new breed of Scorn "na-veskirisk" and thus the [[Revenant Scorn]] are born. Taking advantage of the Echo’s power, Fikrul is attempting to fulfill an ancient prophecy to become the Kell of Kells. After Crow takes over the mantle of the Hunter Vanguard, he tasks the Guardian with responding to a distress call from House Salvation on Europa. Upon entering Riis-Reborn Approach, they learn that the Revenant Scorn are capturing Eliksni civilians in cages and that Eramis is responding to the dire situation as well. They find her and Fikrul at the site where she gave a sermon to gift her followers Stasis, but Eramis escapes as Fikrul sends in a [[Revenant Baron]] to fight the Guardian. Similar to the Hive Lightbearers in how they resurrect through their Ghosts, the Guardian is forced to destroy the Revenant Totem to permanently defeat the Revenant Baron. They catch up to her after cleaning up the Revenant Scorn forces remaining. As they attempt to transport her back into the Last City via the H.E.L.M., Fikrul catches up to Crow and Eramis. After converting the House Salvation Eliksni aboard the Ketch into Revenant Scorn, he forces the Ketch to crash into the H.E.L.M., then makes an emergency landing at the Tower at Failsafe's direction. They arrive at the Market District of the Last City and meet Eido, who has set up a Tonic Shop in search of a cure for Mithrax, who is now suffering from a mysterious illness brought about from Nezarec's curse. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | | - || Eliksni Rescue || The Guardian checks up on Mithrax as he suffers from the symptoms of the illness. After Variks reassures him that Eido will find a solution to cure him, Mithrax tells the Guardian the origins of the Slayer Barons before bestowing them the title, then instructs them to defend the Eliksni people from Fikrul's ambitions. They would begin their task as Slayer Baron upon acquiring the [[Slayer Baron Apothecary Satchel]] and the [[Tonic Capsule]], a device of Eliksni origin that allows the Guardian to use tonics in the field and store collected tonic reagents. As they continue on their mission to rescue the Eliksni from the Revenant Scorn threat, Eido uncovers the knowledge of pre-Whirlwind Riis through Variks and Eramis. Eramis reveals that a Salvation outpost lies on the Reef. Crow accompanies them there and meets with Fikrul. Fikrul attempts to negotiate with Crow, but it fails once Fikrul learns that Crow is a Guardian and not the Father he remembers. They are forced to flee by escorting the explosive payload out of the Reef. They learn from Variks that the Revenant Scorn threat has evolved since the Guardian has become the Slayer Baron. | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | 19 November || Grave Robber || Mithrax realizes that Fikrul's attention has turned to the now-derelict Prison of Elders. Upon arrival in the derelict prison, the Warden challenges them to fight through Lucent Brood, Shadow Legion, Dread, and Revenant Scorn forces throughout the derelict prison. Variks attempt to disable the malfunctioned Servitor to no avail. They are able to enhance the Walker to allow the Guardian to discover new tonic formulae. They then return to the derelict prison at Eido's encouragement. They learn from Mithrax that Fikrul is seeking something within the derelict prison and that the Guardian must return there once more to uncover his latest ambition. They learn that Fikrul has used the Echo to bring back Skolas from death, but they learn from Variks that the Echo is a paracausal entitiy that contain memories. The Echo that Fikrul wields is singing a Whirlwind dirge and is discontent with Fikrul's ambition of becoming the Kell of Kells through its power. After defeating the reborn Skolas, Fikrul uses the Echo to revive him and the duo escape. After reporting to Eido, she suggests that Eramis be freed from her prison since Mithrax's deteriorating symptom is keeping him from challenging Fikrul for the Kell of Kells mantle. They were able to free her after delivering a Golden Age comic to Spider. They do so and Eramis informs them that she will contact them once she she reached the coordinates as given by Eido. | ||
