Transcript
Ghost: The Traveler!
Ghost: Ikora, the Traveler is already here. I think we're too late.
Ikora: We are in the domain of the god of cunning. Things are never what they seem.
Ikora: It's not too late. I can feel it.
- The Guardian storms through the Queen's Bailey.
Ghost: Now that the Traveler sees what Savathûn is doing, why won't it take the Light away from her?
Ghost: Why is it just letting this happen?
Ikora: I don't know why. We may never know. But we know what we need to do to protect the Last City.
Ikora: Stop the ritual. Protect our connection to the Light. Humanity needs you. Both of you.
- The Guardian enters the Florescent Canal
Ikora: Scorn are flocking to the entrance because of the ritual. The Hive are summoning heavy reinforcements from the portal.
Ghost: That will block our route into the fortress.
Ikora: Hold off the Hive and the Scorn as long as you can, and leave the portal to me. I'm on my way.

Ikora: Hold your fire, Guardian! I've got this.

- The Guardian enters the Court of Thorns

Savathûn: You're back! What a surprise.

Savathûn: Don't you ever get tired of it? Don't you want to escape?
- The Bridge to the island where the ritual is taking place is revealed
Savathûn: Little Ghost… you were asked to accept the Darkness. Asked to turn against your cousins. Asked to defy the will of the Traveler.
Savathûn: My Ghosts make no concessions. We serve the Traveler's true interests.
Ghost: No concessions? How stupid do you think I am? You and your siblings, you killed my friends!
Ghost: I remember Crota, and the Great Disaster!
Ghost: I remember Oryx and the Taken!
Ghost: I remember what you did to the Awoken and the Dreaming City!

Ghost: The portal's open!

- The Guardian enters the portals to the different towers. Killing Wizards to break the threads

The Witness: [whispers]
The Witness: These frail siblings will soon be claimed by the Light… unless we claim them first.
Savathûn What is this! How did you-
The Witness: We will tell the most cunning sibling of a cataclysm. A prophecy of great loss.
Savathûn: No… no, that's not what happened. The Traveler never came to us. We were forced to choose the Deep.
Savathûn: How could I have missed this?
Savathûn: So now you want to play games? Then let's play.

Savathûn: But the Witness is coming. The game is yours to play now. Yours to win… or loss
Savathûn: Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Ikora: Good work, Guardian. You did the right thing.
Ghost: Now what?
Guardian: Now… we prepare for the Witness and stop the next collapse.
