Hive: Difference between revisions

Line 359:

In time, the Vanguard had located a new area of Titan's depths that possessed untouched egregore coral but their movements were noticed by Xivu Arath's forces, leading them to move in and try to claim the coral themselves. Racing towards the depths, the Guardians encounter Taken under Xivu Arath and found they were corrupting the coral before the Guardians could reach them. However, using the Drifter's tech, the Guardians were able to purify the coral as they take out the Taken. During this, Sloane noticed she was being pursued by a Taken Knight which she briefly fought off before it disappeared. The Guardians themselves would confront this Taken Knight, revealed to be Kelgorath, who allowed himself to be Taken to continue his devoted service to the Hive God of War. Yet, despite Kelgorath's persistence and Taken powers, the Guardians prevailed, slaying Kelgorath and collecting the coral. With the coral, Sloane was able to better her connection with Ahsa, taking less of a toll on her, and interprets her next message. Said message spoke of "A promise of something more... Two halves of a whole... long divided."

Later on, The Drifter would inform the Guardian that he salvage they collected from Titan's depths have been put to good use but to complete it he needs a different piece of technology, Pyramid tech. He directs them to travel to Savathûn's Throne World and secure pieces of Pyramid tech that the Scorn have been acquiring from the Rhulk's [[Sunken Pyramid]]. With it, he can modify his extraction equipment to work in the deepest trenches of the [[Kraken Mare]]. Traveling to the Quagmire of the Witch Queen's realm, the Guardian succeeds in gathering [[Amorphous Alloy]]s from the Scorn. After another Deepdive Mission and gathering egregore coral, Sloane interprets the next part of Ahsa's message which spoke of "calamity" and "A wordless denial. A fleeing god. Betrayal... and escape. The pursuit... for the final shape...".

The Drifter would continue to tune his machine to strengthen Sloane's connection to Ahsa. However, to make it work better, he asks the Guardians to gain more Pyramid Salvage but most importantly, he has the Guardians hunt for something of the Light, specifically components of a Hive Ghost. Traveling to the Witch Queen's Throne world once more, pillaging the Sunken Pyramid and hunting for a Hive Lightbearer, the Guardians return to the Drifter who uses the new components to his device to enhance Sloane's connection. This time, Sloane and Ahsa's minds become one, allowing Ahsa to speak with Sloane's voice for only a few moments to speak of the most important segment of her message: The Witness's origins. In the very distant past, the first victims of The Witness were as Ahsa described, a people not unlike humanity, struggling on a hostile world that would ultimately find the Traveler, giving it the name of "the Gardener", turning their world into a paradise and begin a golden age that would last eons. However, the Traveler never spoke to them or offer guidance as the people began to crave meaning in their lives, a purpose. In time, as they studied the Light, they encountered an entity that was connected to the Traveler, the Veil, and their study on it led them to commune with the Darkness, the power of thought and consciousness, for the first time, concluding that the Light was a force of chaos. However, they believed that by using the Veil and the Traveler together, they could bring order to the chaos, a "perfect" reality that they would call the Final Shape. The Traveler however, refused to let this happen and thus fled but the people remained determined to enact their goal. Using the power of the Darkness, the people merged their entire civilization's consciousness into a single unfathomable being, The Witness. Said being would embark on its crusade to find the Traveler and the Veil to fulfill its ambitions in enacting the Final Shape and after billions of years, it is now close to reaching its goal.

Sloane is left reeling at not just the strain of the message but at the knowledge of The Witness's origins, the desire for a purpose, to find meaning in a meaningless universe. Nonetheless, Ahsa's message gives the Guardians the knowledge on their foe few possess and hope that Ahsa may also have some intel on how to follow the Witness through the portal, thus resolving to continue the mission on Titan.
