'''Osiris:''' Vex radiolaria has begun to seep beneath the planet's crust. We must follow it. | *'''Ikora:''' Maya is draining radiolaria down into the planet. Delve into Nessus to find out why. | ||

''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Osiris:''' Sundaresh's plans involve massive amounts of radiolaria. Find out what you can, Guardian. | |||

*'''Failsafe (Cheery):''' The Conductor has affected many geological changes within Nessus. Radiolaria drainage is one of them! | *'''Saint-14:''' Sundaresh thinks we cannot stop her plans for the radiolaria. Hah! Well, she is wrong! | ||
*'''Failsafe (Cheery):''' The Conductor has affected many geological changes within Nessus. Radiolaria drainage is one of them! | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Failsafe (Cheery):''' The Conductor continues to drain radiolaria from the planet's surface. And that's bad. Really bad. | |||

''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Osiris:''' We must confront the possibility that the Fallen will acquire the Echo. But it is troubling to imagine the Vex in their hands. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' Or the Fallen in the hands of the Conductor. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Ikora:''' The Conductor is fully integrated into the VexNet. This radiolaria is flowing under her command. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' Something is waking within Nessus, and it is her touch that is doing that. | |||
''Delving into the Well of Flame, the Guardian finds Kalliks and his forces guarding imprisoned Vex. As Vex units begin to advance into the fireteam's position, Kalliks would use this opportunity to transmat away.'' | ''Delving into the Well of Flame, the Guardian finds Kalliks and his forces guarding imprisoned Vex. As Vex units begin to advance into the fireteam's position, Kalliks would use this opportunity to transmat away.'' | ||

*'''Saint-14:''' This is how we find the Conductor. Be as relentless on the hunt, as a pigeon searching for millet. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' Which is to say, continue making your way deeper, Guardian. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Ikora:''' There's more to the Conductor than the Maya Sundaresh and Lakshmi that we know. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' We have no way yet of measuring the influence of the Vex and the Echo she holds. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' But I'd suggest, bracing for the worst. | |||
''Finally, the fireteam reach Kalliks in a large cavern, where it has imprisoned a large Vex Mind.'' | ''Finally, the fireteam reach Kalliks in a large cavern, where it has imprisoned a large Vex Mind.'' | ||
*'''Ikora:''' Looks like House Dusk managed to imprison a Vex Hydra. You'll need to take care of both. | |||

*'''Ikora:''' You saved his life. He knows that. Be patient, Osiris. He'll come back to you. | *'''Ikora:''' You saved his life. He knows that. Be patient, Osiris. He'll come back to you. | ||

*'''Ikora:''' Now we know why the flow of radiolaria was diverted. Maya is using it to search the Vex Simulation Network. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' Yes. Doing so requires a substrate. A medium in which the simulations may take root. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' And she's using it to peer into other timelines. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' When I constructed the Sundial, I did so at great personal risk. Using radiolaria in such quantities must reduce that risk. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' It wasn't just personal risk, Osiris. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' Well, no. But that is beside the point. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Ikora:''' We knew there would be a power vacuum after we took care of the Witness, but I wasn't expecting this. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' Xivu Arath, or Savathûn. Eramis and House Salvation. Even Fikrul and the Scorn. Instead, we have this new threat, all because of the Echo. | |||
'''Ikora:''' The Traveler and the Witness left so much in their wake. The Valence is proof of that. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' We have to keep pushing back, Guardian. One day we'll give Saint and Osiris the rest they've earned. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Osiris:''' Radiolaria is a fascinating substance. At the core of every Vex is a globule that gives its frame cognitive and motive power. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' This distinguishes each Vex from mere automata. It connects them to a larger mind, lets them communicate and consolidate data. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' That Sundaresh was able to reconstitute her individuality from that… The Echo's power is truly beyond anything we've seen. | |||
''Or alternatively'' | |||
*'''Osiris:''' I'm surprised the Kell of House Light has not taken an interest in our activities here. His knowledge as a Splicer would be welcome. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' Misraaks is... unwell. He tries to hide it, but I can see. I do not want him to put his life at risk for us. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' With you, me Ikora, Failsafe... We have all we need to stand against the Conductor and her Vex. | |||
