*'''[[Eris Morn]]:''' Long ago, Oryx sought the [[Worm|worm]] [[Akka, the Worm of Secrets|Akka]] in the [[Ascendant Realm|Ascendant Plane]], but was denied the secrets of the [[Darkness|Deep]]. And so, Oryx slew the worm and communed with the Deep himself. In this communion, he learned the power to Take. And from Akka's body, he carved this foul Dreadnaught. But even a dead worm dreams, Guardian.

*'''Sloane:''' [[Eris Morn|Eris]]'s [[The Resonant Knife, First of the Reshaped|killer]] in somewhere on the Dreadnaught. A Taken [[Subjugator|subjugator]]… I don't know who's doing the Taking now, but that's a problem for another mission. Let's hit this first. We left this place to rot, like a bad memory tarnishing [[Saturn|Saturn]]'s rings. Not a smart call, and it cost us too much.

*'''Sloane:''' When [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] heard what happened… Rage. It was rage. But she couldn't just abandon the Tower. So Ikora sent us as her rage, Guardian. Let's do her justice.

*'''Drifter:''' Whenever you dust a Taken, they get sent back to the [[Ascendant Realm|Ascendant Plane]]; then they come right back to fight again. Only good thing is, they couldn't Take anymore. Now they can, and no one here knows why.

*'''Drifter:''' Here's something big about the Taken: they need someone to tell them what to do. Oryx, the Witness… bet [[Mara Sov|Mara]] could grab 'em, too, if she wanted. Hell, even I can get ahold of 'em for [[Gambit]]. So, I got a question for you, killer: Who told them to murder Eris?

*'''Echo of Navigation:''' What other heresies did I entertain as the years unfolded? What else, besides my death? Xivu Arath fails to test her strength out of fear of her own mortality. She wants me to turn away from our logic out of liar's love. In my resurrection, I only see her failure. Hers, and mine. In you, I see the strength I had that can endure forever.

===Secret Chest===
====First Chest====
*'''Sloane:''' Guardian. I mentioned that there's a new influence on the Taken. Like feedback over a comms channel. It's been getting stronger, and gaining clarity. Like a radio signal gradually tuning in. I didn't want to mention this until I was sure but… it has a familiar rhythm to it. A cadence. I'm not sure how, but I'm afraid a Dread commander gained access to the Taken. Keep this between us for now. I don't want to raise alarm unnecessarily. Just… keep
====Second Chest====
*'''Eris Morn:''' Oryx's return instigated a grand schism in the Hive. They are shaken. They entertain the first doubt, the oldest doubt. They call it the "Entaoxuanna."The doubt that will destroy them. The doubt that will undermine their core philosophy. Whatever happens must be so, but what must be so, is poison. Their king was slain, but his mantle went unassumed. Now he returns as a sword: wormless, resurrected, and without the strength of his brood. There is no greater heresy than this. His sisters know it. He knows it. And so, in this, Oryx wishes to begin again.
