 *'''Riven''': It was your City that called for the extinction of the Ahamkara. They believed the risks too great, the cost too high. But you understand the true value of power, O murderer mine.
+''Post-Synchysis''
+*'''The Crow''': Taranis and Riven… Quite the love story. What do you think he saw in her?
+*'''Petra Venj''': I think… even wish dragons could make poor decisions.
+''Or''
+*'''The Crow''': It was strange having Taranis’ voice in my head. Not much like Riven’s.
+*'''Mara Sov''': How did it feel?
+*'''The Crow''': Like I… was waking up to a beautiful surprise.
+*'''Riven''': Old fool.
+*'''The Crow''': I see why you miss him.
+''Or''
+*'''Mara Sov''': I was… unaware of Taranis during the Great Hunt. Had I known then as I do now…
+*'''Riven''': Would you have played the game any differently?
+*'''Mara Sov''': I will never regret what was necessary.
+*'''Riven''': As I expected… O majesty mine.
+''Or''
+*'''Riven''': I imagine the Hunt was a great convenience, Queen Mara. A pretense to lock your Ahamkara away at last.
+*'''Mara Sov''': What player moves her pieces for a single reason? You were safe, as were my people. That you didn't care to be so was not my concern.
+*'''Riven''': The stakes always feel higher when one's family is involved, don't you find?
+''Or''
+*'''The Crow''': I think at some point, I started thinking of the eggs as… objects. Not seven new lives.
+*'''Osiris''': Until Taranis?
+*'''The Crow''': Not just him. Whatever else she is, Riven cares about her children.
+*'''Osiris''': Yes, I think it would be a shame for the, ah, whims to be judged for the actions of either parent.
+*'''The Crow''': You think we can teach them how to behave themselves?
+*'''Osiris''': They are young. What better time to try?
+''Or''
+*'''Petra Venj''': Do you feel any kinship with the Witness? It also seeks to reshape reality to match its desires.
+*'''Riven''': What a tantalizingly direct question. What lies beneath it, I wonder?
+*'''Petra Venj''': Just wondering how we can trust you.
+*'''Riven''': Don't presume to know me, child. If there were bargains left to make, you can be sure I've already made them.
+''Or''
+*'''Petra Venj''': I've told Zavala that every foe the Vanguard face goes through the Awoken to get to them. But you've dealt with Oryx as well, haven't you?
+*'''Riven''': For a time, I WAS Oryx, in all his terrible glory.
+*'''Petra Venj''': How do you feel about the prospect of your clutch born into a universe at the mercy of the Witness?
+*'''Riven''': Perhaps they shall hatch in time to meet the final shape. Perhaps not. If they had it all, I will have done all I can for tomorrow. The rest is up to them.
+''Or''
+*'''Mara Sov''': The Taken are indeed fractured, my friends. Our strikes have found purchase.
+*'''Osiris''': Most still rally around Xivu’s Celebrants, extensions of her will.
+*'''Mara Sov''': But a great many wander aimless. That incremental separation of their masters
+making them lost, drawn by beings of focused intent. I am one such being.
+*'''Osiris''': Interesting. We should speak in person.
+*'''Mara Sov''': If you can contain yourself…
+''Or''
+*'''The Crow''': Still no word on Fikrul’s whereabouts? Gotta wonder what he's up to with the Witness pulling the Scorn’s strings.
+*'''Petra Venj''': My Corsairs have been combing the Shore, but they haven't seen any trace of him.
+*'''The Crow''': You know… he used to call me “father”. As Uldren, it amused me. I found it useful. But now…
+*'''Petra Venj''': Now you think he's your responsibility.
+*'''The Crow''': Fikrul is still out there. The question is when I find him, do I try to offer help… or do I put him out of his misery?
+''Or''
+*'''Osiris''': I've noticed your penchant for assertiveness recently, Crow. Your willingness to step forward is admirable. A mark of true leadership.
+*'''The Crow''': [sighs] That's enough, Riven.
+*'''Osiris''': What?
+*'''The Crow''': Oh. Oh! I, uh—Thanks, Osiris.
+''Or''
+*'''Riven''': Your desires have so often come second to your duty, Guardian. What would you wish for? Wealth? Freedom? An escape from your troubles? What would you sacrifice to have it?
