*'''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 suspect they will achieve full control over the world and complete machinoformation by the end of the year if nothing is done about them. Now, 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''' - Hmm... 4.25 Terawatts just passed through the Citadel. Should probably note that for la- Oh, hello! Thanks to you, the entire network is in perfect order. Because of that, I can now effectively track everything, living or not, in this quadrant. Well, almost. Despite everything, I don't have a good read on where the Vex are getting a good supply of reinforcements and data. I have a hunch, but we first need to prove it. Even then, if the hunch is true, we're going to HAVE to check this place out. That place being an old Ishtar research camp on the Academy outskirts.

Despite everything, I don't have a good read on where the Vex are getting a good supply of reinforcements and data. I have a hunch, but we first need to prove it. Even then, if the hunch is true, we're going to HAVE to check this place out. That place being an old Ishtar research camp on the Academy outskirts. It should have the equipment to tap into Vex systems and the data to corroborate it with. I would have investigated that place earlier, but... well, I got killed. That, and now, I'm in charge of coordinating operations on Venus. So, you're the next best bet to check it out! Besides, you've proven to be most effective against the Vex so far, so I have full confidence in you. So, do me a favor, and crush some Vex for me, will you? | ||

''"The Ishtar Academy has been studying the Vex ruins for years during the Golden Age. They may have dug too deep and invoked their wrath, but such is the price of knowledge, I guess. So, if there's any information on where these Vex are pouring out from, it should be somewhere over there. Just know that it is deep in Vex territory, and thus, they should have a bunch of surprises for anyone that happens to amble over there. Keep your head on a swivel and a hand on your gun, and you should be fine."'' - Alana Reyn | ''"The Ishtar Academy has been studying the Vex ruins for years during the Golden Age.

*'''Alana Reyn''' - Alright, let’s get this operation going! First, we're going to need a Vex Core for this site to scan. It'll sift through the data far better than I could and give us a good read on the situation in the Sink. | |||
*'''Ghost''' - A Vex Core? That should be easy to find! | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Oh, no. Not just any Vex Core. The Vex aren't going to trust a standard Goblin with the data we need. We need the core of an Axis Mind. | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Oh. Well, that won't be easy to find. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Fortunately, I'm pinging a sizable Vex signature on the cliffs. Should have the authorization we need. | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Talk about convenient. Let's get it, Guardian. | |||
''The Guardian reaches the [[Ishtar Cliffs]] and encounters a large contingent of Vex. They eliminate them wave by wave and finally encounter an [[Ultra]] [[Cyclops]], [[Forum:Palios, Corrective Sentinel|Palios, Corrective Sentinel]]'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - There the Vex Mind! Let's take it down! | |||
''The Guardian destroys Palios and claims it's Mind Core'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Whoa. I'm sensing a lot of data still being processed in this thing. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Perfect! Means we got a prime specimen for research at the site. Onwards! | |||
''The Guardian progresses further down the coast towards [[The Waking Ruins]]'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Incredible. To think that these machines aren't as lifeless as they seem. To think organisms like these could be capable of turning worlds into machines and even experiment with time. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Heh. Haha! | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Alana? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Oh, nothing. Just something I said myself. | |||
''The Guardian reaches the Waking Ruins'' | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - You're passing the [[Vault of Glass]], Guardian. A place older than humanity itself and home of the Vex' most safeguarded experiments. It's also zealously guarded by the Collective. So, don't stick around long, will you? | |||
''The Guardian reached a cave on the other side of the area and enters [[Campus 9]]. They progress further and a Darkness Zone falls.'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Looks like the Fallen have set up shop here. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - I highly doubt they'll let us work in peace. Clear them out! | |||
''The Guardian eliminates the Fallen crew one by one before Skiffs arrive and begin offloading reinforcements. After a few waves, the Guardian is assailed by a [[Forum:Dusk Pilferer Captain|Dusk Pilferer Captain]] and the [[Forum:Captain's Guard Servitor|Captain's Guard Servitor]]. The Guardian eliminates the attackers and the Darkness Zone falls.'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Whew! I think we drove them off. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Good! Now, let's start digging into the Vex Core, before it starts to atrophy. | |||
''The Guardian lets their Ghost interface with the terminal inside. Another Darkness Zone falls.'' | |||
*'''Vex Core''' - [Distressed Vex Sounds] | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Oh no. The Vex Mind is calling for help. You've got incoming! Dig in and get ready. | |||
''Waves of Vex begin to spawn around the Campus and begin marching on the Ghost. The Guardian defends the Ghost, staying in proximity to him as he works through the core.''<br><br> | |||
'''''If a Vex unit reaches the Campus''''' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - They're disrupting the connection! Guardian, get them out of here! | |||
''20% Completion is reached'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - I'm getting a lot of noise here. A lot of disorganized information on "Hezen" and "Aphix". | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Damn. Must be atrophying now. Forward me some of tha information. I'll try to help you. | |||
''33% is reached. A series of Oracles spawn around the and progress is halted.'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - [pained sound] Something is creating a lot of noise! It hurts if I try to keep reading into it. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - The Vex must have brought in some Oracles then. They won't be far. Break them, and you should be good. | |||
''The Guardian destroys the Oracles and brings Ghost back to the terminal. [[Harpy|Harpies]] and [[Elite]]s start to join the fray 50% is reached.'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - I'm getting a lot of queries from a lot of signals from all over the place. | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - I think I may have something. It's encrypted, but some more interrogation might get me what I need. | |||
''67% is reached. Another group of Oracles are spawned in and progress is halted.'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Ugh. It's happening again. More Oracles, Guardian. Take them out. | |||
''The Oracles are destroyed and Ghost is returned to the terminal. Major Minotaurs join in and an [[Ultra]] [[Hydra]], [[Forum:Eleftherotis, Unshackled Mind|Eleftherotis, Unshackled Mind]] arrives to destroy the assailants. 80% is reached.'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - I've got a lot of headers here. Some data on a Nexus, some on the Vault. Even some file on a missing… [[Infinite Forest|Forest]]? Anything on your end Alana? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - Nothing solid so far. But I don't like what I've got now either. Keep the heat on them Guardian! We're almost done here. | |||
''100% is reached'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - I think we have everything we need. Let's clear everything out. | |||
''The Vex are destroyed and the Darkness Zone falls'' | |||
*'''Ghost''' - Nicely done, [[Guardian]]. Now, I had no luck on my end, how about you, Alana? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - It's exactly as I suspected. The Vex have established a new Vex Mind as the master of the Nexus. | |||
*'''Ghost''' - The Nexus? Like what I combed through. What does that mean? | |||
*'''Alana Reyn''' - It means we only have weeks before they fully convert this world beyond repair, no matter what we do to counter it. I didn't think that they could have it fully repaired in such a short time. The only way we can stop this now is destroying the Mind controlling the Nexus. Meet back with me as soon as you can. We have to put a stop to this. | |||
