The Arms Dealer Transcript

(Mission Begins)

• Zavala: Time for me to step out. Cayde, I leave it to you.

• Cayde-6: OK, fireteam: there's a lot to cover as your official operative in the strike against Bracus Zahn, so we'd better get started. Item the first:

• Hawthorne: Strike's been started for a while.

• Cayde: ...Huh.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Usually for an operation like this, Zavala provides logistical support. But it sounds like it’s just us this time around.

• Cayde: Hawthorne, where’d you put my datapad? It had the notes about that thing I’m in charge of.

• Hawthorne: You mean the Bracus Zahn strike that’s already running? Off to a great start, Mr. Vanguard.

Or alternatively

• Zavala: Into the action right away. I’m not surprised. Cayde, you’re up.

• Cayde: Whoa, wait wait wait, I’m not ready! I had a whole thing for this Zahn guy — I had charts and pictures — you know what, the one time I get it all — geez, forget it. You know what, just forget it.

The Guardians head towards a console for Ghost to scan.

• Ghost: All the paths to the rest of the base are shut tight, but get me to a console and I’ll take care of that.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: No more enemies in here. There are plenty outside, though. Get me to a console, and we’ll get out there.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: We need to get further into the base. If I can access their network...

Ghost hacks into their network to bypass security and open up the doors to their base.

• Ghost: Door’s unlocked. But I couldn’t get through without tripping their master alarm.

• Hawthorne: Not a trade I would have made, but you’re the one on the ground.

• Cayde: Come on, how bad could one little alarm be?

• Ghost: Very bad.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Uh… turns out Zahn’s network is different from the Red Legion’s.

• Cayde: Good different or bad different?

• Hawthorne: Did I just see a FLARE shoot into the sky?

• Ghost: Look, let’s not get into what might have shot into the sky and which enemy just summoned a bunch of reinforcements.

• Hawthorne: He sounds like you.

• Cayde: Aww, thank you!

Or alternatively

• Cayde: Did you shoot up a flare? I though we weren’t allowed to have flares anymore after I… had nothing to do with why we’re not allowed to have flares.

• Ghost: It wasn’t us! They must have detected me in their network.

• Hawthorne: Then I’d get ready for reinforcements. A lot of reinforcements.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: We’re through. And I’ve made things more exciting.

• Cayde: Don't sound so down, little guy. Fireteams are built for excitement!

Ghost detects Solar energy

• Ghost: Wait a minute — there’s a high concentration of solar energy over there!

Or alternatively

• Hawthorne: Scanners show reinforcements coming.

• Ghost: That last harvester exposed an active fuel cell. Maybe we can use it!

• Cayde: Attaboy.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: That tank just exposed a solar fuel cell!

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Thanks for moving that tank out of the way. Head for that solar fuel cell!

Or alternatively

• Ghost: That last tank didn’t finish refueling before it got airlifted out.

• Cayde: Amanda told me Cabal fuel makes a pretty good accelerant.

The Guardians aquire the Solar fuel cell.

• Hawthorne: What’s that hissing noise?

• Cayde: That’s me! I must have… Oh, wait a minute. Nope not me.

• Ghost: It’s us! He’s carrying the fuel cell!

• Cayde: Nice!

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Why would you pick it up?!

• Cayde: So he can find where it’ll do the most damage. Smart.

• Ghost: Is it?!

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Great! Grab it, and… uh, what’s the plan, here?

• Cayde: Plan, schman. Take the radioactive thing, put in explode-y place. There! There's your plan.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: There’s an exhaust vent nearby, but I don’t know how long you want to hold onto that thing!

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Ok. I didn’t mean for you to pick it up! But we’ll work with this.

• Hawthorne: Is this what “be brave” means for you Guardians? Didn’t know it was a prayer.

• Cayde: A true Guardian grabs the danger and walks around with it.

Or alternatively

• Hawthorne: I can’t believe it. You were right. He grabbed it.

• Cayde: It’s what I would have done.

• Hawthorne: It’s not what ANYONE should have done!

The Guardians fight past the Red Legion and deposit the fuel cell to dismantle their barrier.

• Ghost: Nice work! That should take care of the barrier!

Or alternatively

• Ghost: We did it! And we didn’t blow up.

• Cayde: Yeah, not blowing up is as good as you can hope for sometimes.

• Hawthorne: Way to reach for the stars.

Or alternatively

• Cayde: Sounded like a nice dunk!

• Hawthorne: “Dunk”?

• Cayde: Yeah, it’s what we Guardians call it when we jam a radioactive fuel cell into an exhaust vent. You wouldn’t understand.

The Guardians battle more of Zahn's lieutenants and traverse deeper into the base of Legion's Anchor.

• Ghost: Still haven’t been able to track down Zahn. Cabal usually LIKE to be found.

• Cayde: This guy's no ordinary space rhino. His weapons ain't half bad, either.

• Hawthorne: Those weapons have snuffed out too many good people.

• Cayde: Oh, don't get me wrong. He'll still deserve whatever this fireteam gives him. They always do.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Zahn’s lieutenants aren’t messing around. Think we’ve seen the last of them?

• Hawthorne: He’s bound to have more. Insecure men tend to surround themselves with others like them.

• Ghost: Cayde? Anything to add?

• Cayde: Nope, she’s totally right. Which is why I work alone.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: The ship is still here!

• Cayde: Zahn moved in after you put Thumos down. Surprised he hasn’t painted the place chartreuse to match his armor.

• Hawthorne: I’m sorry, painted it what now?

• Cayde: Ah… nothing.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Well, THIS looks familiar.

• Cayde: Yeah, funny story about the Oh-roh? Oh-roh… Oh-roh-bahn… uh…

• Hawthorne: Cabal and their weird ship names. Think it was the “Orobas Vectura.”

• Cayde: Yeah, that one. Zahn moved in after you put Thumos out to pasture. He’s in there somewhere.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: A tank — for us? Hawthorne, you shouldn’t have!

• Cayde: Amanda would want me to remind you to call it the Drake.

• Hawthorne: I think you should call it “payback.”

The Guardians fight past the warring Cabal and Fallen and enter the base.

• Ghost: Back into the ship we go. We’re coming for you, Zahn.

• Hawthorne: He’s got a lot to answer for. Be thorough.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: We’re inside the ship again. But Zahn can’t be far now.

• Cayde: Could be some really weird defenses in there. Not just flame turrets - I'm talking REALLY weird.

• Hawthorne: Don't mess with them. They need to stay focused.

The Guardians encounter a Goliath Tank alongside Cabal reinforcements.

• Ghost: Well, it wouldn’t be a Red Legion base without another indoor tank.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: I liked this place better when there wasn't a Cabal TANK in it.

• Hawthorne: Why would they put a tank inside a ship?

• Cayde: Cause Zahn is running scared. Don’t let up, fireteam.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Remember that elevator? Looks like we have to bring it down again.

• Cayde: That sounds easy.

• Ghost: There's a tank here.

• Cayde: Ok. Well, there are many... levels of easy.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: No sign of Zahn. But that elevator’s the only way forward. Forward… and up.

• Cayde: The Cabal made an elevator that goes forward? Man, they ARE inefficient.

Or alternatively

• Ghost: Hey, Cayde. Ten glimmer says there’s a tank on that elevator.

• Hawthorne: Please don’t encourage him

• Cayde: [Whispers] You’re on.

The Guardians destroy the Goliath Tank. Ghost accesses the Cabal consoles to gain access to the bases elevator. Another Goliath Tank appears.
