Transcript

(Cutscene)

Zavala: Life is a delicate thing, Guardian. Hope… faith… love… In an instant they're gone. Everything you've sworn to protect is lost. And all you're left with is silence and shadow… and the knowledge that you should've done more.

Zavala: Could we have defeated Ghaul if the Traveler hadn't awakened? And what of the next threat? Or the next? What then? The Traveler is awake… and the Age of Legends is upon us.

Zavala: In the shadow of the light, our universe is a beautiful, terrible place. Where I once saw miracles… now I see monsters. Someone has to. We have to. That's what a Guardian does.

(Cutscene ends)

(Second cutscene)

Ana Bray is shown, on a cliff.

Ana Bray: Guardians aren't supposed to investigate their past. That's the rule. But I'm not good with rules. Not when there's this much at stake.

Ana Bray: The Clovis Bray tech in that building allowed us to colonize the system during the Golden Age. We – they sought to create peace for all Humanity. Which is ironic, because they also built Rasputin… the single most powerful weapon in the solar system.

Ana Bray: Either way, it's all been entombed on Mars since the collapse… along with something far more terrifying.

Ana Bray jumps off the cliff, fighting through frozen thralls. She climbs up a large piece of ice and reaches the top. The shadow of a massive creature can be seen.

While at lightspeed, traveling to mars, Ghost says:

Ghost: Mars – the first place where humanity encountered the Traveler. Home to the Clovis Bray Research Facility, and lost wonders of the Golden Age. The icecaps have kept those wonders hidden for hundreds of years. But the return of the Traveler's Light has sounded an alarm heard throughout the system…and perhaps beyond.

(Third cutscene)

The Guardian's ship heads to mars.

Ghost: The Red War is over, but Ghaul's forces, what remains of them, have been scavenging during their retreat. And now that Warsats are falling out of orbit near Mars, the Cabal are headed there too. I'll plot a landing course.

An alarm sounds.

Ghost: That's the private Vanguard channel!

Ana Bray: Mayday! Mayday! Do you copy! Vanguard access code 0306… GET AWAY FROM MY GHOST, YOU FROZEN – Guardian, requesting backup! I repeat! I need backup down here!

Ghost: This frequency is reserved for official Vanguard business. So, look, whoever this is…

Ana Bray: That's cute! You've got one of the uptight ghosts.

Ghost: Uptight?

Ana Bray: I'm uploading coordinates to a safe landing zone. Please hurry.

Ghost: All right, but you're going to owe us for this one.

Ana Bray: I wouldn't have called you down here unless it was absolutely critical. The most dangerous weapon in the system is on this planet, and an entire army of Hive is trying to destroy it. I need your help.

The Guardian arrives at the Olympus Descent.
