Description

Bungie presents the Destiny Grimoire Anthology, a must-have collectible lore compendium designed and assembled for Destiny’s devoted and enlightened scholars and lore lovers, as well as fans of fantasy and science fiction storytelling.

Until now, the myths, mysteries, and machinations of the Destiny universe were found hidden throughout the worlds – enticing threads that hinted at a greater tapestry. The Destiny Grimoire Anthology weaves tales from multiple sources together for the first time, casting new light on Destiny’s most legendary heroes, infamous villains, and their greatest moments of triumph and tragedy.

Each unique volume intends to illuminate a facet of the world, and the complete anthology will confirm and challenge players' thoughts and assumptions on what it means to be a Guardian, offering new and differing perspectives on the cosmic war that rages between the Traveler and its ancient enemies.

[C.B.] Are you there?

[IIIIII] I… I’m dreaming, but I’m… awake?

[C.B.] You see. I knew it would work. I knew it! Tell me, what is this dream? Describe it.

[IIIIII] There is a tower. A metal army. A fight

[C.B.] Please, do go on. Run the course in front of you.

[IIIIII] To the tower?

[C.B.] No. That’s a bug. <Third time it’s shown up. We’ve got to work on that.>

[W.A.] I don’t like this, Dr. Bray.

[IIIIII] I feel… alone. It’s dark. I want to go to the tower. Someone’s whispering

[C.B.] Ignore it; it’s nothing. Eliminate the hostiles.

[W.A.] We should wipe. Start over

[C.B.] Do you remember anything from before this moment?

[IIIIII] I… no. Nothing

[C.B.] Perfect. It seems isolating and detaching the memory bank from the cortex is vital in achieving full lucidity. Dr. Abram, take note of the accelerated reflex capabilities in the executive functions. What’s our hostile-per-second count?

[W.A.] Cognitive responses tracking well. 0.5 HPS. I still think…

[IIIIII] What is… Where am i?

[C.B.] Focus

[IIIIII] No skin. Should be cold. Not. Nothing. I am nothing

[W.A.] She’s in pain. We need to wipe and start again or else we risk losing her

[C.B.] We need to figure out a calmer method for awakening. Maybe we can circumvent the confusion of the transplant with some kind of preloaded code. Have these realizations while they’re asleep. Going to be annoying answering all these “Where’s my body; who am I?” questions again and again, ha ha.

[W.A.] She can hear you, Clovis.

[C.B.] Obviously. Raise the hostile count.

[W.A.] Dammit, Clovis. We wipe now, or I walk.

[C.B.] She’s our most successful launch.

[W.A.] And if we can’t replicate it without error, then we’ve failed.

[C.B.] Fine. Proceed with the wipe.

[W.A.] Wipe in progress.

[IIIIII] I killed you, Clovis.

[C.B.] Excuse me?

[IIIIII] In the dream. Just now. And you, Wesley. Every one of you

[W.A.] What the…

[C.B.] Delay the wipe.

[W.A.] I-I can’t. It’s already underway.

[C.B.] <Damn it> What did you mean? Why did you kill me?

[IIIIII] What am I?

[C.B.] Why did you kill me!

[IIIIII] Where are you? I can’t see… … …

[W.A.] ...Wipe complete.

[C.B.] Prep it. We go again, immediately.
