Gameplay

Complete mission "Utopia" on Titan
Venture deeep into the heart of the Hive to retrieve a powerful Golden Age CPU - and make it out alive
Start mission
The Rig
Titan
Secure a Golden Age CPU to decrypt Red Legion intel
Find a way into the Arcology and locate the Central Processing Unit network
The player moves towards the New Pacific Arcology

Zavala: Holliday has detected an unusual amount of electricity being re-directed into the Arcology

Amanda Holliday: Yep. Juice like that can only mean one thing: a network of CPU's - powerful ones. Maybe powerful enough to decrypt that Cabal signal we intercepted.

Zavala: Unfortunately we don't know where the network might be located.

Holliday: So you're gonna have to snoop around, not draw too much attention.

Zavala: Guardian, securing this asset could turn the tide of this "war" with the Red Legion. Without it... I don't know what comes next.

Solarium
The player enters Solarium, fighting a small band of Fallen outside it which includes a Servitor. The player defeats these and enters the Solarium proper.


Arcology Operating System: Welcome to New Pacific Arcology, the bright future of space colonisation in the shadow of Saturn.

Ghost: Sound's like the Arcology's operating is back online.

Holliday: I knew it! Keep an eye out for an OS access terminal. You can use it to pinpoint the CPU network.

Locate the CPU network
Find a New Pacific Arcology OS access terminal
While in the Solarium the Operating System will continue on the loudspeakers, saying:

Arcology Operating System: Local officials will neither confirm nor deny the existence of any so-called deep-space-anomaly.

Arcology Operating System: The New Pacific Academy is proud to offer degrees in Methane-Oceanography and Tidal Engineering

Arcology Operating System: Thirty four percent of Titan's citizen's hope that the Traveler will terraform the ocean-moon soon.

Arcology Operating System: Attention science lovers! The Collective's lecture on the terraforming of Io begins in five minutes in the Cassini Library.

A Ghost Scan is located in the vicinity, TM-SOL-1 reading:
Ghost: "Screen's dead, but the feed's still running. Ooh, kind of a catchy jingle. 'New Pacific Arcology! The next frontier is you.'"
The player continues into the Arcology.
Festering Halls

Ghost: Over there. One of the access terminals we're looking for.

Locate the CPU network
Deploy Ghost to interface with the New Pacific Arcology OS
Access Arcology Systems

Ghost: The CPU network is deep in the maintenance levels. Amanda, is this what we're looking for?

Holliday: Bingo! That's the place!

Ghost: OK, I've got the location. Let's find a way down.

The terminal display has now changed from its earlier screen reading "Welcome to New Pacific Arcology" in English, Chinese and Russian, to showing a schematic map of the Arcology's "Network Layout" identifying the CPU's location and describing the CPU as a "Quantum Core" in all three languages. In the bottom right of the screen the display identifies the Operating System version as OS 118.16
Secure a Golden Age CPU to decrypt Red Legion intel
Make your way down to the CPU network chamber
The player enters the Festering Halls and is ambushed by the Hive, among them is a yellow bar "Revenant Acolyte". The player kills the Hive. To the right of the area is a defunct monitor TM-FH-3:
Ghost: "The Arcology's operating system isn't 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."
TM-FH-2 is also nearby, next to the doorway to head further into the Arcology.
Ghost: "We saw this rune before, on the Dreadnaught. It means either 'doorway' or 'treasure' or 'chamber.' Perhaps the Hive use this rune to tap into their Throne-world dimensions."
The player continues through the door into the hallway beyond where they encounter a Wizard and more Hive exiting a now permanently locked door besides a giant hole in the floor, and Ghost Scan TM-FH-1:
Ghost: "These Hive spawn pods are different from the ones we saw before. Maybe a different brood. Or a different generation. Gross and confusing."
The player kills the Wizard and its compatriots.

Ghost: Look's like the Hive dug a shortcut for us. Let's head down that hole in the ground.

The player enters the hole and proceeds through the dark nest below

Ghost: We're definitely in Hive territory now.

Zavala: Indeed. Keep radio chatter to a minimum. We don't want to draw any... unnecessary attention.

The Hive have already heard the player's approach and attack them, led by a regular Knight equipped with a Cleaver. The player defeats the Hive, continuing on to where they encounter a Shrieker. The Shrieker is defeated and the player continues on into another room, where they fight more Hive.
The player encounters their first Ogre, Garmurg. The player defeats Garmurg, dropping down the hole he came from, and continues deeper into the Arcology towards the CPU.
The player continues on, jumping through some elevator shafts, and access shafts, with Hive membranes or destructible metal grates blocking their path on occasion. As they continue, the environment becomes darker and more claustrophobic. Thralls ambush the player at several locations throughout the tunnels.
Ultimately the player reaches the CPU room, which they drop down into from an air vent in the ceiling.
Secure a Golden Age CPU t decrypt Red Legion intel
Remove a CPU from the New Pacific Arcology network.
The player approaches the CPU's Quantum Core
Pick up CPU

Arcology Operating System: Warning. CPU network disrupted.

Ghost: Well there's no way the Hive didn't hear that alarm.

Zavala: Move it, Guardian!

Escape the Arcology with the CPU
Find a way outside
The player is ambushed by several dozen Hive on either side shooting at them, forcing them to flee with the CPU. Once picked up the CPU cannot be put down, leaving the player in a third person mode where they cannot shoot back or even melee with the fragile CPU. The player escapes the CPU room.

Ghost: We got the CPU, but we stirred up the entire Hive colony, and it's a long walk to the surface.

Holliday: They're not gonna make it out of there, Commander

Zavala: Guardian. Can you make it to the Center of the Arcology? We should be able to send someone to pick you up from there. Holliday?

Holliday: Yeah... yeah, I'm on it.

In the next room is a vehicle that the player can enter with the CPU and drive. The vehicle is basically a Drake tank without its armaments, and serves to train the player in steering this class of vehicle.
Enter Driver's Seat
The player then escapes through the Hive colony in the not-a-Drake-tank tank by ramming it through the numerous Hive secretions, materials and troops in their way as they drive to the center of the Arcology.

Ghost: This road leads to the center of the Arcology. We'll need a way out once we get there.

Holliday: I'm strapping in and about to take off. I'll be there ASAP.

Zavala: Amanda!

Holliday: Sir?

Zavala: Fly fast. Fly safe.

Holliday: Yes, sir!

The player reaches the center and proceeds along a long bridge to the landing platform where Holliday's Hawk jumpjet is waiting for them

Holliday: Got eyes on ya, pal! Meet you at the end of the road!

Zavala: Good work - both of you. Let's get that CPU back to Control and decrypt these transmissions.

Holliday: Things may finally be looking up for us.

The player reaches Holliday

Trivia

  • In the room with the golden age CPU, a giant sea monster will appear in the window if you wait instead of grabbing the CPU.
  • Ghost Scan TM-SOL-1, available in the Solarium after player's first visit it during this mission is likely a homage to former Bungie employee and Composer, Marty O'Donnell and his earlier career as a jingle writer.
