Ghost scans

Working Title (unofficial)	Patrol Accessible	Location	Principle entities	Transcript	Picture of Scannable
EDZ-SJC-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, Sojourner's Camp.	Fallen	Ghost: "I wonder if these supplies fell out of a Fallen skiff. Or a ketch. Fallen names are so ugly. Dreg. Wretch. There are other things besides short vowels and plosives, you know. "	[
EDZ-SJC-2	Yes	European Dead Zone, Sojourner's Camp	Fallen	Ghost: "More Fallen Transmission data. I'm... well this is weird. I'm seeing some file headers with Awoken symbology? What was that about?"
EDZ-SJC-3	Yes	European Dead Zone, Sojourner's Camp	Fallen	Ghost: "The Fallen used to worship the Servitors like gods. I wonder what they think of their machines now that they're down and out in the EDZ?"	[
EDZ-MS-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, Maevic Square	Fallen	Ghost: "An arc spear. We thought the House Fallen were bad, but it's hard to imagine a haughty House of Kings guy rushing at us with one of these."	[
EDZ-MS-2	Yes	European Dead Zone, Maevic Square	Fallen	Ghost: "An empty Fallen cache, hmm. They must be bringing in supplies from all their old hidey holes in order to survive out here. "	[
EDZ-TG-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, The Gulch	Traveler	Ghost: "The power in this tiny piece... its amazing. And to think its been out here this whole time. Just waiting. "	[picture]
EDZ-TG-2	Yes	European Dead Zone, The Gulch	Fallen	Ghost: "A prototype, or the runt of the litter? Or are the Archon priests trying out new shell design. "	[picture]
[EDZ-TG-3	Yes	European Dead Zone, The Gulch	Cabal	Ghost: "I can see some of the data going through this thing. The Red Legion at the base are talking to soldiers on Mars, Venus, Nessus...they're everywhere."	[picture]
EDZ-TL	Yes	European Dead Zone, Trostland	Fallen	Ghost: "The Fallen hid this one pretty well. I guess after we beat them up during the SIVA crisis they'd want to give us as wide a berth as possible."	[picture]
EDZ-TL	Yes	European Dead Zone, Trostland	Fallen	Ghost: "Some intersting data in these things... hmm. I think they came all the way from Venus with the old House of Winter "	[picture]
EDZ-SM-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, Salt Mine	Fallen	Ghost: "These House banners are rare on the ground these days. Between the Guardians and the Cabal they've buried a lot of the old grudges. All four hands on deck."	[picture]
EDZ-TS-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, The Sludge		Ghost: "A power box for an underground security system. I guess it wasn't enough to protect against the Collapse. And the Fallen. And the Hive. And the Taken. And the Red Legion. But i bet it worked pretty well against bears."
EDZ-TS-2	Yes	European Dead Zone, The Sludge		Ghost: ""There's still some kind of energy in this Shard, but... different from what we use. I still don't understand how the corruption AND the Traveler's power can coexist so strongly. But I guess there's a lot we don't understand." "
EDZ-TS-3	Yes	European Dead Zone, The Sludge	Indeterminate	Ghost: "The emergency light is still working, but the rest of this tech fizzled out a long time ago. I wonder how many people escaped after the Collapse."
EDZ-LA-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, Legion's Anchor	Cabal	Ghost: The Cabal used to be those cranky jerks out on Mars. Now their warmachine is all over Earth. Someday we'll get them out of the system. Right?"
EDZ-SI-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, Sunken Isles	Cabal	Ghost: "Hmm, intersting. Some of the trace signatures here match readings from the [[|Psions|Psions]]. Maybe these supplies originated on the Psion homeworld.
EDZ-FH-1	Yes	European Dead Zone, Firebase Hades	Multiple	Ghost: "Looks like an improvised explosive device set up by the Fallen. They hate the Cabal as much as we do."
EDZ-FH-2	Yes	European Dead Zone, Firebase Hades	Cabal	Ghost: "Scanning...hmm. I'm picking up trace elements from a half dozen planets on this thing. The Cabal sure do get to travel, don't they?"

	Nessus, Pools of Luminance	Vex	Ghost: "There's nothing special about this crystal chard. Well, other than it being buried in a radiolarian vapor cloud that carries the energy readings of six stars. I guess that's pretty special."	[picture]

Why is the Shard in Europe?	The Farm	Traveler	Ghost: "A Shard of the Traveler. I can't find any of why it's here, or how it got here. We're a long way from the City, you know I want to believe it's here for a reason. For us."	[picture]
Devrim Kay defended the Wall	The Farm	Devrim Kay	Ghost: "Devrim spent years defending the City from places just like this along the Wall. I can see why he found this spot comforting."	[picture]
Hawthorne to the rescue.	The Farm	Hawthorne	Ghost: "If Hawthorne hand't been out there in the wilds, on the lookout for people escaping the City... well I'm glad we met her. Who knows where we'd be now?"	[picture]
Farm, sweet farm.	The Farm	-	Ghost: "Look at this. I've heard some of the civilians talk about settling down out here once the fighting stops. I'm not sure that's such a good idea but... you can't argue with the view"	[picture]

New Pacific Arcology recycling systems	Titan (moon), The Rig	New Pacific Arcology	Ghost: "the idea was that the facility produced zero waste. Everything organic ended up fertilizer, and everything else got used in manufacturing. Grand plans... that didn't pan out. "	[picture]
The Fallen are united.	Titan (moon), The Rig	Fallen	Ghost: "Skolas tried to unite the Fallen Houses but failed. Who would have thought that sheer desperation would succeed where he failed."	[picture]
The Hive acellerate evolution.	Titan (moon), The Rig	Hive	Ghost: "Yet another strain of Hive. They're doing an awful lot of testing out here. Trying new things with magic and - ugh - breeding."	[picture]
New Pacific Arcology Artificial Intelligence	Titan (moon), Festering Halls	New Pacific Arcology	Ghost: "The Arcology's operating system isnt very smart. Nothing even close to an AI. Lots of entries here, different names. It may not have had a personality, but it made living here better for a lot of people."	[picture]
Hive breeding generations	Titan (moon), Festering Hall	Hive	Ghost: "These Hive spawn pods are different from the ones we saw before. Maybe a different brood. Or a different generation. Gross and confusing."	[picture]

City reconstruction plans.	Tower, Courtyard.	-	Ghost: "Blueprints for a bunch of modular housing, bridges, some simple shopfronts... I think these are reconstruction plans for City blocks. As bad as the Tower had it, some parts of the City are just...gone."
Dead Orbit's myspace terminal.	Tower, Hangar	Dead Orbit	Ghost: "This terminal looks like it's in use as a forum for Dead Orbit folks. About what you'd expect: lots of pictures of people wearing black, and nihilistic poetry."
Mysterious Frame modifications	Tower, Hangar	-	Ghost: "Someone's been trying to modify one of Shaxx's Redjacks! But all the interface history shows is access by other frames. 'Arctie and Dahlia', it says. Over and over. 'Arcite and Dahlia'."
Speaker's quarters reconstruction	Tower, Courtyard	Speaker	Ghost: "They rebuilt the Speaker's private quarters even after the reconstruction. I still can't believe that he's gone. He wasn't the first Speaker, and...he can't be the last, right? We still need a Speaker. Don't we?"
Banshee terminal logins.	Tower, Courtyard|	Banshee-44	Ghost: "The last login of this terminal was by Banshee-44, but... he tried and failed so many logins as Banshee-41 that it locked him out. All those reboots must have finally gotten to him."
Banshee-44's old storefront	Tower, Bazaar	Banshee-44	Ghost: "I think this is where Banshee used to set up. You know that number after his name isn't for show right? Amanda told me he really has been rebooted 44 times. How can he remember anything at this point?
The Traveler is awake	Tower, Bazaar	Traveler	Ghost: "Things seem like they're back to normal around here. It's like nothing's changed. But with the Traveler AWAKE now, that can't be true. Things are going to get better... right?"
Market activity resumes.	Tower, Bazaar.	-	Ghost: "Look at all these inventory notes. Looks like everyone is trying to get the Tower's market back on track. Tess, Banshee, Rahool, Eva Levante ... they're all working together on this stuff."
Where is Eris Morn?	Tower	Eris Morn	Ghost: "I think this used to be a terminal used by Eris Morn. Lots of notes in here about the Hive, their Prince Crota. The Taken King, Oryx. (sigh) I wonder where she went off to?"	[picture]
Heavy casualties as a result of Red War	Tower	Cabal	Ghost: "Maintenance logs from a systems engineer. She talks about having to do tasks for two people now that her mechanic buddy is gone. Everybody lost someone when the Cabal attacked us."	[picture]
Amanda's holiday retreat	Tower	Amanda Holliday	Ghost: "All this stuff belongs to Amanda Holliday. I think I heard her mention this place once: her 'secret hideaway to get away from all that nonsense in the Hangar'. Let's not tell anyone about it."	[picture]
Hawthorne studies history and lore	Tower	Hawthorne	Ghost: "Hawthorne told me she comes up here to read sometimes. She's studying up. Vanguard history, the consensus, faction wars, even books about the founding of the City! Huh. I wonder where Louis goes while she's here."	[picture]
Ikora Rey invites civilians to Tower	Tower	Ikora Rey	Ghost: "If I'm reading this right, Ikora is pushing hard for civilians to have easier access to the Tower. It's nice to see... you know. People up and around here."	[picture]
New Monarchy recruiting problems	Tower	New Monarchy	Ghost: "Hmm. With everyone embracing Hawthorne's 'power to the people' message, maybe they don't have as much patience for factions like New Monarchy"	[picture]
Commander Zavala tracks suspicious chaacters	Tower	Zavala	Ghost: "Huh. Communications between Amanda Holliday and Commander Zavala. Back and forth and back and forth for weeks, keeping track on shady characters in the Hangar. Nothing gets past Zavala."	[picture]
Journal of Ana Bray	Tower, Hangar	Ana Bray	Ghost: "Looks like a journal: Ana Bray. But I cant tell who - Pretty much the entire thing is redacted. And there are whole pages missing. Something about all this seems... wrong. Am I worrying too much?"
Spying on Dead Orbit representative Arach Jalaal	Tower	Dead Orbit	Ghost: "This is weird. Was someone... spying on Arach Jalaal? Some of the papers are signed 'Arach' but it's not Jalaal's handwriting. I don't think i'll ever understand faction politics."	[picture]
Stealing from the King	Tower	New Monarchy	Ghost: "I think someone stole these supplies from New Monarchy! Reference in the logs to 'following Hawthorne's lead'. I wonder what that means."	[picture]
No Eva Levante? No shaders.	Tower	Eva Levante	Ghost: "I keep expecting to show up in the Bazaar and see Eva Levante here. This spot's right around where she used to set up shop. I haven't heard much about her since we reclaimed out home, other than that she survived. No one's heard from her in a while, though."	[picture]
