Vanguard Transmissions to Zavala
First Message from Osiris
- Zavala. This is Osiris. I promised you updates, so... here we are.
- There's no much to tell. Mercury, Mars, Io, and Titan are gone.
- With that in mind, I wanted to give you the gift of perspective. I am sending you an artifact. Long kept in the care of my... followers.
- It is of Hive origin: a fang of Xivu Arath, sister to the Taken King, Oryx.
- The Traveler may have reformed, but until it acts, understanding the Darkness is our best chance of defeating it.
- Perhaps in this relic, there is a real, tangible hope. Not just empty promises.
Second Message from Osiris
- I needed to put some distance between myself and Earth. [sighs] So I headed to the Dreaming City.
- The city itself is still caught in its curse loop. I have doubts we'll ever be able to undo the damage the Taken caused here.
- Unsurprisingly, Petra remains useless. She doesn't know where her Queen is, and that leaves us with fewer allies.
- Oh, and, uh... let Saint know I found the letter he hid in my ship. Tell him – no, never mind. I'll tell him myself.
Third Message from Osiris
- I came back to the Tower, but you were in a meeting with Ikora, so I went to see how Ana's work with Rasputin is progressing.
- She's made several failed attempts at importing his consciousness into the body of a dead Exo.
- Ana has a brilliant mind, but she's squandering herself trying to salvage the remains of that Golden Age tyrant.
- She should put her talents towards something more... productive.
- Maybe I'm just bitter.
Fourth Message from Osiris
- Hmm. The orbital path of Nessus has changed. Likely due to the sudden disappearance of the Leviathan.
- I could not find any evidence of long-range scans. But remnants of the Cabal still linger.
- According to the intercepted transmissions, Calus's daughter, Caiatl, is trying to rally what's left of the Red Legion.
- As if we didn't have enough problems.
Fifth Message from Osiris
- I'd gone to the Reef, hoping to find insight into Caiatl's agenda among the Cabal there. Instead, I found something else.
- There's a... new strange presence here. It grows as an organic technology, like a small tower.
- There were Cabal gathered around it, enraptured by something I could not perceive. Perhaps their own desperation — or madness.
- A long-range scan of the structure was inconclusive, save for confirming it was of Hive origin.
- I need to determine whether it was just delusion attracting the Cabal... or something more.
Sixth Message from Osiris
- Every day, there is some new horror.
- I stayed in the Reef to further observe those Hive-enraptured Cabal. They did not rest – simply spent hours kneeling before the structure.
- Sometimes they screamed. Other times they cried, but mostly, they were just... silent.
- They left come morning, wandering out on the fringes of the Shore.
- I decided to examine the structure more closely, and, uh... I'm certain I... I heard something. Calling to me. Beckoning.
- Sagira convinced me not to perform any further investigation for the time being.
Seventh Message from Osiris
- It's dark out here. I sometimes forget how isolating deep space is. I'm on my way back to Earth, but it will be at least one more day.
- I wonder how Saint is doing in my absence. I worry about him. About how well he's adjusting. How he blames himself for all this.
- He has such a big heart... Perhaps if we hadn't meddled with history, non of this would have happened?
Eighth Message from Osiris
- Sagira initiated a long-range scan as we were entering Earth's orbit, looking for signs of that same Hive structure we discovered at the Reef.
- Call it intuition. There are more of them on the Moon.
- I went to speak with Eris, to seek her counsel as an expert on the Hive's witchcraft. But I could not find her.
- Perhaps you know where she is?
Ninth Message from Osiris
- I just had the most interesting conversation with our friend, Spider — back out in the Reef.
- Not only did he already know about these Hive structures, but he's found others on the Tangled Shore that my scanners missed.
- He claims some of his agents have gone missing, and there are rumors of disappearance among the houseless Fallen as well.
- Sagira patched into local Cabal communications. Caiatl's scouts noted unsettling discoveries among the Red Legion stranded in the system.
- Entire encampments abandoned. Evidence of internal conflict, mass graves. Whatever is going on with these Hive towers... we need an answer.
- I'm going to Saturn. I may have a way to find it within the derelict hulk of Oryx's Dreadnaught.
- Tell Saint he's missed.
Tenth Message from Osiris
- It was a success. I was able to reverse engineer the Hive's organic communications systems within the Dreadnaught.
- I directly interfaced with their... network of collective consciousness.
- The things I learned, Zavala. The things I learned. The Hive is fractured, shattered, turned on itself.
- The Black Fleet intends to punish Savathûn for interfering with its efforts to communicate with us.
- No one knows where the Witch Queen is, not even her own court. And now Xivu Arath is using this opportunity to consolidate her power.
- I will return to the Reef tomorrow to confer once more with Spider. He says he has news for me.
Eleventh Message from Osiris
- As distasteful as Spider may be, his information network is vast and... surprisingly well researched.
- According to his people, the Hive structures are called cryptoliths. They spread like the roots of a tree and bore into our dimension.
- No word yet on their point of origin. Spider claims to have his best man on it, but... Sagira and I have our own suspicions.
Twelfth Message from Osiris
- Zavala, I am presently en route to the Moon to search for more information on the cryptoliths.
- Sagira and I are going to touch down and investigate.
Thirteenth Message from Mara Sov
- To all corners of the system… I've emptied the armories on the fringe. Sent Corsair warship fleets. Deployed Harbingers.
- And yet… the Black Fleetpersists. I know what it's taken from you.
- Petra… I've been away too long, and for that, I apologize.
- Your compassion and leadership have been a boon to me — and our people. This all started with the Dreaming City. I shall return to finish it.
- [sighs] Savathûn will be waiting.
Fourteen Message from Osiris
- If anyone is listening, I... Sagira is... She sacrificed herself to save me. From them. From the Hive.
- I'm tracking the creature responsible for Sagira's death. I will find it. I will end it.
- Zavala... I need you to send the Young Wolf to the following coordinates. I won't wait!
