Tartarus Transcript

(Mission Begins)

The Guardians enter the Distributed Cognitive Domain and traverse deeper.

  • Mithrax: Each trespass into this domain is easier for you than the last. I feel you moving through the Vex network as they do, as they are. You are no longer an invader; you are a part of the system. I hope that as you change this place... it is also not changing you.

The Vex initiate a purge.

  • Mithrax: Another purge sweeps through the network; be cautious.

The Guardians enter the Tartarus domain.

  • Mithrax: The guts of this dimension churn, digesting all within. This entire place seeks your end. You will need to find a defense against the forces of eradication and entropy at work here.

The Guardians dismantle the Vex firewall and summon Dimio, Oppressive Mind.

  • Mithrax: We have awoken the Oppressive Mind! Destroy it!

Dimio, Opressive Mind is defeated.

  • Ikora: We succeed for a third time, and yet nothing has changed with the Endless Night. Why is that, Mithrax?
  • Mithrax: Each time the Guardian destroys a Vex mind in control of a domain, the remaining Vex carry the leftover burden.
  • Ikora: And how many of these minds do you think are left to share that burden?
  • Mithrax: That... is unclear.
  • Ikora: Then we should focus our efforts on finding the central Vex mind guiding them. Osiris, how is that coming along?
  • Osiris: Slowly. Lakshmi and Mithrax's Splicers are diligently working with data the Guardian has recovered. But the Vex mind at the source of the Endless Night remains elusive.
  • Ikora: We need to move quickly. The simulation is draining the City's energy. I won't stand by and watch our Lightless civilians continue to suffer.
  • Osiris: Ikora. I don't intend to let that happen.
  • Mithrax: We will work harder. We will find a way. The Light provides.

(Mission Begins)

The Guardians enter the Distributed Cognition Domain and traverse deeper.

  • Osiris: When you first stole into this realm, I did not believe you could achieve what you have. Invading a domain of Vex consciousness like this. Yet, here you are... embodiment of the impossible. Somehow, in spite of everything you've accomplished, I managed to underestimate you. I won't make that mistake again.
  • Osiris: It seems the Vex are content to keep throwing the same defenses at you. Get into the domain, Guardian.

The Guardians enters the Corrupted Tartarus domain.

  • Osiris: This is a Vex disintegration domain, eradicating unneeded simulation data and abandoned terraforming projects. Beware those barriers; they will destroy all matter they touch.

The Guardians breach the Vex security and destroys the final firewall.

  • Osiris: Venture deeper, Guardian. The Vex are on alert, but their defenses have not fully come online.

The Vex detect an incursion and summon Dimio, Oppressive Mind Reborn.

  • Osiris: Once more, the Vex fall into our snare. The domain's master is yours. Destroy it!

Dimio, Oppressive Mind Reborn is defeated.

  • Mithrax: The end is here. The path to Quria opens. A night-end is in sight. Destroy Quria, and the Witch Queen will be forced into retreat. The Vex lose guidance; this network becomes unimagined. Ikora has taught how Guardians cornered the Undying Mind not long ago. With her wisdom, and Eliksni Splicers, we have plan-devised. Drag Quria from hiding. May its last thoughts be of fear. Of you.
