*'''???''' - Ah, so you're the one Shaw told me about. I see you still got some teeth to cut. Alright, here's a little crash course for you: 1, aim for the chest of the Vex, that's where the unit is controlled itself. 2, always expect some sort of Vex response for anything, and I mean anything. 3, watch yourself out there, watch the cliffs, your corners, the ruins, everywhere, despite what you may think... | *'''???''' - Ah, so you're the one Shaw told me about.

*'''Alana Reyn''' - Again, sorry about earlier, not exactly a people person. Never have. Just not in my blood. Anyways, as you've no doubt encountered back there, the Vex are a bit more active now, even after we've torn them a proverbial new one over and over again in the past. Even the [[Cabal]] got a piece of the action way back when during the [[Red War]]. Granted, we should have expected the Vex to just, simply, come back up and continue their work, no matter the sheer losses they take. But here, it seems they've really kicked their operations into overdrive. Once, the Vex were divided into different subsects meant for specific goals but now... Now we have a consolidated force of them jumpstarting machinoformation across the world, intruding into the former Ishtar Collective and even waging outright war against some of the other inhabitants. I would love to crush them here and now, but, unfortunately, we can't do that without properly establishing a good enough foothold around the Sink. So, you will head out and make sure our patrol beacons are in working order and, if not, make the bastards that broke them pay before setting them back up. Maybe not in that order, but one could hope. Well, let's get cracking, Guardian! | *'''Alana Reyn''' - Again, sorry about earlier, not exactly a people person. Never have. Just not in my blood.

Now we have a consolidated force of them jumpstarting machinoformation across the world, intruding into the former Ishtar Collective and even waging outright war against some of the other inhabitants. I suspect they will achieve full control over the world and complete machinoformation by the end of the month if nothing is done about them.

*''Help Alana Reyn reestablish a Patrol Zone in the Ishtar Sink and make sure the beacons are in working order'' | |||
''"We had a pretty good Patrol Network on Venus way back when we had a solid foothold on this planet, but, unfortunately, we don't have that anymore. Disgraceful, really. Good thing we can get it all set back up! One can imagine the good we could do with it all back in working order! Well, what are you waiting for? Get going! I'm itching for some data!"'' - Alana Reyn | |||

''The Guardian starts in the [[Headlands]] facing the direction of [[Ember Caves]]'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Alright! Alright! Let's get this operation going! So, we have operatives taking the eastern and northern portions of the Sink, so that leaves the western quadrant. Should be easy! | |||
''The Guardian reaches the Ember Caves'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Uh, Alana, we got some Fallen over here. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Ah, don't worry about it. We got an... "understanding" of sorts. They don't touch my stuff and I don't reduce them to ash. Talk about a perfect relationship, eh? Anyways, one of the beacons is acting up over there, go check it out will ya? | |||
''The Guardian inspects the Patrol Beacon'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Oh, of course it's the faulty one. Just whack it. | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Hit this? A patrol beacon? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Did I stutter? | |||
''The Guardian melees the Patrol Beacon'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - There we are! Getting information as we speak. Alright... looks like we got some forces massing nearby. I guess our understanding isn't clear enough. Go teach them a lesson, will ya? | |||
''The Guardian is given a Kill Patrol mission, and begins eliminating the Fallen in the area. The Guardian kills 20 Fallen.'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Nicely done. Looks like we got them in full retreat! | |||
''If the Guardian is a Titan'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - I didn't expect anything less, Titan. Well fought. | |||
''If the Guardian is a Hunter'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Nicely done, Hunter! Just be sure to be cleaner next time. | |||
''If the Guardian is a Warlock'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Hope you learned something, Warlock, even if it is just fighting. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Anyways, I think we are all set here. I got an irregularity around [[The Citadel]], go check it out, will you? | |||
''The Guardian reaches the Citadel and finds a dilapidated Patrol Beacon'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Uh, looks like the beacon is fine. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Well, that's odd. Hmm... it's probably skewed, try to adjust it, will you? | |||
''The Guardian interacts with the beacon, slightly moving it'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Is it clear? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Nope. Still a little fuzzy, try worming it a little. | |||
''The Guardian interacts with the beacon again, slightly moving it'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - How about now? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - No, it got worse. Try pushing it some more. | |||
''The Guardian interacts with the beacon one last time, planting it down further'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Well? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Hmm. It is a bit fuzzy... | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Please no... | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Oh, no no no. It's fine. I can accommodate for the skew. [...] Aaaaand we're good! | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Oh thank the Light. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Alright, let's see what we got here. Hmm. Ah! Looks like some data was moved to a couple of Vex units. Don't know what, it seems to be heavily encrypted. Try and pluck their cores and transmat them my way. | |||
''The Guardian is given an Item Patrol, and begins collecting the Inert Reception Cores from eliminated Vex. The Guardian collects 7.'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Many thanks, Guardian! I can't wait to start digging into these Cores and seeing what juicy secrets lie within! Hehehe. Alright, I think we're good here. So, if you are able you ca- Wait, the hell? | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Alana? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - One of my beacons just stopped working. That shouldn't happen, not under my watch. Go check it out. | |||
''The Guardian investigates the spot, only to find where the beacon would be to be missing'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Uh, there's nothing here. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Wha- what do you mean nothing is there? | |||
*'''Ghost''' - I mean, there is nothing here, Alana. The beacon is gone. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - The beacon is go- [distantly] ugh, I spent an hour meticulously setting that one up. Graaaagh! Some Vex unit must have snatched it so it could investigate it. Alright, new objective! Find that dead piece of scrap and blow it to smithereens! | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Woah. Okay, then. Will do Alana. Let's get going, Guardian. | |||
''The Guardian follows the marker deep into [[The Juncture]], eliminating the scattered Vex within. The Guardian sees a beacon atop a pile of Vex scrap and approaches it. Vex teleporters activate all around the room.'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Huh? Guardian, watch out! The Vex are sending a Wyvern! Be careful! | |||
''A [[Major]] [[Wyvern]], called [[Forum:Pikros, Vicious Mind|Pikros, Vicious Mind]], enters the fray with a light detachment of Goblins and engages the Guardian. After a hectic battle, the Guardian eliminates Pikros.'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Woah. That was... I'm sorry. I... should have expected that from the Vex. And I shouldn't have sent you in there alone. | |||
*'''Ghost''' - ...it's alright Alana. We're fine, that's all that matters. And one wouldn't usually suspect the Vex to do this, right? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Maybe, but I knew they could do this. *Sigh* Well, it's past now. Get that beacon and get out of there, will you? We don't want the Vex to try that again, right? | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Of course. | |||
''The Guardian picks up the beacon and heads back outside and plants it back into place'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Beacon set. Any wiggling we have to do? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Nope, you're all good. I'm getting a good signal from it and getting good data too! Nicely done! Looks like we're getting greens across the board. And here come all the requests! Well, I'd call that a job well done. Return to me when you can, Guardian! | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Will do. Let's go, Guardian. | |||
