Destinypedia doesn't currently have a walkthrough for this level; could you write one?

The Crash is the first story mission in Shattered Past and takes place in the Desert on Earth. After crashing in the Desert under unknown circumstances, the player's unconscious body is hauled from the wreckage of their ship, and awakens to the sight of several Rangers who invite the amnesiac pilot to join them on their way to a remote colony to investigate why it has dropped out of contact with the Protectorate's array stations.

Objectives

• Follow the Rangers to the colony.

Transcript

{Video}

The screen fades into a view of a vast desert. The text "EARTH" and "25TH CENTURY" appear in the left hand corner of the screen. A team of Rangers are seen treking across the dunes. The Rangers pause at the peak of a sand dune to survey the terrain when a ship crashes in the distance. The Rangers see the crash and move towards it.

The screen cuts to black

• Narrator: What is the sum of human curiosity, but a yearning to venture into the unknown? To uncover some forbidden secret in the hopes that it will lead to something greater? For hundreds of years, humans had looked up into the sky, peering out at the stars, wondering what lay beyond. As technology progressed, these dreams of exploration grew ever closer. Great ships were built to take us into the stars, to carry us into the deep. We turned our sights then, to the dead worlds that lay before us. The promises of a new empire, a new age. Colonization efforts were undertaken on Mars and centuries passed as humanity terraformed its barren deserts. But buried within the red sands, lie the dormant husks of ancient machines called Praetorians.

{Cutscene}

The screen fades in and then to black again a few times to simulate the effect of eyes opening. Meanwhile, unintelligible voices can be heard.

• [Unknown]: Look, he's coming to.

• [Unknown]: Hey, hey you alright?

The pilot slowly sits himself up, looking towards the female Ranger kneeling beside him and groans.

• Pilot: What--what happened? Where am I?

• [Unknown]: Easy, we're in the Desert and from what we can gather so far, your ship was shot down, though it is hard to tell by whom. A band of those damned mercenaries may have been responsible, but then they would have already come to loot the wreckage by now.

• [Unknown]: Can you stand?

• Pilot: I think so.

A male Ranger approaches the pilot and offers a hand, helping him to his feet.

• [Unknown]: Do you remember anything prior to the crash?

• Pilot: Just fragments, but they're all scrambled. Who are you?

• [Unknown]: We're Rangers. We were en route to a nearby settlement when we saw your ship crash.

Just then, another Ranger approaches.

• [Unknown]: Sir, we should get moving. If the colony's communications systems have indeed malfunctioned, we need to restore them pronto.

• [Unknown]: It'll be fine. We'll get there soon enough.

The Ranger leader turns to the Pilot.

• [Unknown]: Why not come with us?

The Pilot looks at the burning wreckage of their ship and back at the Rangers.

• Pilot:Don't think I have a choice.

The Pilot then beckons with his hand in a forward motion.

• Pilot: Lead the way.

The screen fades to black.

{Gameplay}

• [Unknown]: Okay, the colony is situated just north of here. If we can cross this desert, we can get their fairly quickly.

The Pilot follows the Rangers.
