:::::Pan shot of The City showing Tower astride Wall, with The Traveler in the background. Camera moves to Cayde-6 walking into Hall of Guardians in Tower. A storm rages across the plain, music rises as lightning flashes ominously through the window. | |||
:::::Commander Zavala is hunched over the table reading reports while Ikora Rey stands to the side, scrutinising a data screen. The hall buzzes with frantic activity as the Vanguard assemble. | |||
'''[[Cayde-6]]''': Ikora, if you tell me this is a practical joke… Well, it kills me to say it, but I - I would be really impressed. | |||
'''[[Ikora Rey]]''': Impressing you, Cayde, is the easiest thing I'll do all day. | |||
'''[[Commander Zavala]]''': Let's get serious people. | |||
'''Cayde''': Zavala! | |||
'''Cayde''': This is my serious face. Can't you tell? | |||
'''Zavala''': Ikora, what have you got? | |||
'''Ikora''': Someone or something has sabotaged the Skyline Defense Systems. | |||
'''Cayde''': And comms have been spotty for the last few hours. | |||
'''Zavala''': Every sensor beyond the wall has gone dark. | |||
'''Zavala''': Maybe it's just the storm. | |||
'''Zavala''': Hmm… Maybe it’s just the storm. Maybe it’s… What are the sat feeds telling us? | |||
'''Ikora''': Nothing. | |||
'''Cayde''': Well, that's good, right? | |||
'''Ikora''': No! I mean, they’re not there. There are no satellites. | |||
'''Cayde''': And that's not good. | |||
:::::Zavala returns to the window, staring out as the clouds part to reveal an armada of Cabal | |||
'''Zavala''': Battle stations! | |||
:::::The Cabal open fire on the City defences, bombarding the tower | |||
'''Zavala''': Everyone with me! Now! | |||
:::::Zavala summons a Ward of Dawn, shielding those present in the hall from the attack, Cayde immediately summons a Golden Gun and attempts to singlehandedly shoot down every last heavy cruiser before Ikora, seeing this, jumps over the banister, grabs Cayde and teleports the two of them in to the safety of the Ward right as a slab of concrete debris smashes into the ground where Cayde would have been. Inside, Zavala struggles to maintain the barrier while more wounded reach safety and are treated. | |||
'''Ikora''': Hang on! | |||
:::::Outside, and the camera show the Cabal armada continuing on uninterrupted over the wall, to deploy the Traveler’s Cage, which latches onto The Traveler while more and more ships come into view and anti-air artillery and the signs of battle fill the air above the city. | |||

:::::Pan of environment, with Hawk jet flying over the fields towards the City. Camera follows the plane, changing direction to show the dark storm clouds clouds mixed with smoke rising into the sky, their undersides lit by the coals of a burning civilisation, obscured behind its encircling mountains. The view then moves to focus back in on the Hawk, and then inside the cockpit where The Guardian can be seen piloting the craft, with their Ghost over their shoulder. | |||
'''[[Ghost (Little Light)|Ghost]]''': Repeat, Tower Approach, this is City Hawk seven-two-three. Anyone home...? | |||
'''Ghost''': No response on any channels, even the emergency frequencies. | |||
''' | '''Ghost''': [Sigh] What is going on back there? | ||
'''Ghost''': Remember when I told you that you fly too fast? Forget I said that. Fly fast. | |||
