Transcript
{Cutscene}
A metal floor fades into view. The Hunter Vanguard, Cayde-6 is seen struggling on the floor, unarmed and badly wounded. The camera turns to reveal a cloaked Awoken man brandishing a Hand Cannon standing in front of him.
- Cayde-6: Well, this- this is awkward. I- Y-You got a gun I can borrow?
- Awoken man: No. But I do have a bullet. With your name on it.
- Cayde-6: Any second now, my partner is gonna roll in here and kill... Every. Last. One of you.
The Awoken man approaches Cayde.
- Cayde-6: And you, my man-
Cayde begins a coughing fit.
- Awoken man: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh... This is going to hurt... A lot...
The Awoken man points his gun at Cayde, revealing it to be Cayde's own gun, the Ace of Spades. It is quite worn.
- Awoken man: Any last words?
Cayde coughs as he sits up to look the man in the eyes.
- Cayde-6: How's your sister?
The Awoken man closes his eyes as the screen fades to black. There is a gunshot. The Destiny 2: Forsaken title card appears.

PRISON OF ELDERS
SOMETIME EARLIER...
The purple atmosphere of the Reef comes into view. The Guardian's and Cayde-6's Jumpships swoop over a catwalk as their respective owners transmat down. They approach Petra Venj, who is waiting at the other end of the catwalk.
- Cayde-6: Petra Venj. Thanks for the invite. Whatcha packing for this party?
- Petra Venj: Meh. The usual.
Petra draws her knife from its sheath. Cayde is visibly excited.
- Cayde-6: Ooh! Do the thing!
He leans back toward the Guardian.
- Cayde-6: Seriously, watch this.
Petra levitates her knife in the air, spinning it multiple times before catching it. Cayde shudders.
- Cayde-6: That'll never not freak me out. Do it again!
- Petra Venj: Later. Maybe. Right now, gen-pop is running wild. Fortunately, the main arena and lower levels remain on lockdown. But if the core security systems fail...
She briefly turns to face the massive gate behind her, then back to the Guardians.
- Petra Venj: ...containment is going to be... a problem.
- Cayde-6: Just another day at the office.
Petra smiles in acknowledgement and jogs to the gate. Cayde draws the Ace of Spades and loads it as he moves to the other side of the catwalk.
- Cayde-6: All right, partner, this is a Cayde riff in 6, watch me for the changes, and, uh, try to keep up.
Cayde squats down and puts his hands in the air.
- Cayde-6: Now let's go to prison!
Cayde jumps backwards off the catwalk, and the Guardian cocks their gun and begins jogging to the gate themselves. Cayde can still be heard in the distance, occasionally firing his weapon.
- Cayde-6: WOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Got you! Got you! Got you!
{Gameplay}
The Guardian finds themselves on a bridge to the Cellblocks. To both of their sides are other bridges where Corsairs are fighting off escaping inmates.
- Cayde-6: Oho, these guys REALLY wanna dance.
- Petra Venj: This riot HAS to end here. If these killers get out, the Reef will be overrun.
- Cayde-6: So we split up and take 'em out. And a one, a two, three!
The Guardian makes their way into a control room rocked by an explosion. A Legionary slams into the window in front of them, falling off to reveal a cellblock skirmish between a group of Cabal led by Baurg, Blood Infernal against an onslaught of Fallen. The Guardian begins suppressing both parties.
- Cayde-6: How did these guys even GET guns?
- Cayde-6: Deck 45's clear! How's everybody doing? Having fun? Anybody need to pee?
After a few moments, another explosion blows a hole into the wall of the cellblock.
- Cayde-6: Woah! Who's blowing stuff up without me?
- Petra Venj: I'm gonna get eyes on that explosion. You two join me when you can!
- Ghost: On our way, Petra.
- Petra Venj: The faster the better. That blast knocked a few more cellblocks open.
The Guardian heads through the hole in the wall into a tunnel. There are more explosions, with a prison transport and Shanks moving overhead. They make their way over a ruined catwalk into a small room where Petra can be seen, surrounded by the bodies of Fallen. She removes her knife from a Vandal.
- Petra Venj: I love fieldwork!
She stands up.
- Petra Venj: That explosion took out security on the lower decks. I'll check the high-value prisoners down there.
She runs back through a partially open door, then turns to address the Guardian again.
- Petra Venj: You and Cayde head to the security hub. Get security back online.
The door closes, and another opens to let the Guardian into another cellblock. There is a gang of Fallen charging a pair of Phalanxes.
- Cayde-6: OK, pal, this crowd isn't gonna just let us stroll into the security hub. I'll go high, you go low.
In this area, Cayde will make random comments on the Guardian's kills and actions, such as the following.
- Cayde-6: Put 'em up, put 'em up!
- Cayde-6: Slow down, where's the fire? Other than the... actual... You know what? Never mind.
- Cayde-6: Aim like that, you're gonna be a legend for sure.
The Guardian proceeds to a catwalk over a lower cellblock floor. Cayde can be seen on a bridge just ahead disintegrating a Knight with a Golden Gun. He stops in the middle of the bridge to toss a grenade down behind him while addressing the Guardian.
- Cayde-6: Can I just say, I'm having the time of my life right now.
He runs back across the bridge as the grenade explodes, killing some Cabal hidden behind cover. The Guardian finds themselves behind another pair of Phalanxes guarding against Hive enemies. Fighting through the cellblock, Cayde can be seen overhead on another bridge being chased by Gladiators.
- Cayde-6: NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE!
The Guardian continues through the onslaught of Hive and Fallen, on the way encountering Ir Yun, Cult of Megor. Cayde can be heard some floors up, shooting Dregs.
- Cayde-6: I'm at... 16... 17... 18...
The Guardian heads through another hole in the wall into another tunnel. There are more explosions.
- Ghost: We're approaching the security hub now, Petra.
- Petra Venj: Copy that. Everything's gone dark down here, so I'm stuck taking the long way to supermax.
The Guardian finds a door that opens into a large cellblock, where the security hub can be seen in the center. Cayde can also be seen jumping onto a Legionary.
- Cayde-6: LOOK OUT BELOW!
Cayde successfully stabs the Legionary, who begins stumbling dangerously close to a drop.
- Cayde-6: Woah, woah, woah, woah, THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAAAAAN!
The Legionary falls, with Cayde on its back.
- Ghost: CAYDE!!
Suddenly, Cayde reappears holding onto the bottom of a Shank.
- Cayde-6: Scratch that. It's definitely the plan. Meet ya at the security hub!
The Guardian heads down a cellblock corridor as Cayde attempts to ride the Shank to the security hub.
- Cayde-6: Go left! Left! Your other left!
The Guardian finds themselves overlooking a team of Cabal led by Saarut, Blood Infernal fighting the Ogre Megor, Spawn of Xivu. They are in the way of the catwalk that leads up to the security hub.
- Ghost: This is the security hub. Better clear the area before going in.
After clearing the enemies, Ghost is let out to open the door into the security hub.
- Ghost: This says we need warden-level clearance to open the door. Cayde?
- Cayde-6: I gotcha. Stand by for promotion.
The Guardian enters the security hub. Cayde can be seen in an enclosed observation room with a large switch and a bank of yellow buttons.
- Cayde-6: Oh, you missed a truly masterful performance. All that's left is the coop-de-gracie.
He flips the switch, which immediately goes back into its original position. The bank of buttons is now all red, and an alarm sounds, followed by the screams of Hive. Parts of the floor in the rest of the hub rise to reveal Hive debris and enemies covering systems.
- Cayde-6: Uh, what's happening to the floor? Ahh, these Hive are gunking up the works! Get 'em out of here, will you?
The Guardian eliminates Hive enemies and clears the debris, letting the systems return to the floor. They return to Cayde.
- Cayde-6: Hive gunk scrubbed! NOW it should turn on.
- Ghost: Remember to purge the buffers.
- Cayde-6: Sure. Got it. One question: how do I do that?
- Ghost: Press the red button.
Cayde turns around to face the bank of buttons, which is still entirely red.
- Cayde-6: They're all red!
- Ghost: Then press all of them!!!
Cayde begins wildly brushing his hands over the bank of buttons. After a few moments, every button is now green.
- Cayde-6: I can't believe that worked! I am amazing at this.
He flips the switch again, only for it to reset again. The bank of buttons is now red again, and more floor systems rise to reveal more Hive.
- Cayde-6: Scratch that. It did NOT work.
The Guardian eliminates the Hive once again, and returns to Cayde.
- Cayde-6: Booting it up, for real this time.
Cayde flips the switch one more time. This time, it does nothing, but still resets. He continues to try to switch it on.
- Cayde-6: Come on, come on!
After a few moments, he instead draws his weapon and fires two shots into the lever, destroying it, but the buttons have turned green again, indicating that it was successfully activated.
- Cayde-6: And STAY DOWN! Tech support... with extreme prejudice.
He walks over to a terminal in the room.
- Cayde-6: Well, everything's where it's supposed to be, but now it's asking me for some kind of secondary activation? Should be a terminal you can use out on the catwalks. I'd go with you, but I hear this place has turrets, and I really wanna fire 'em. By the way... You and me? Good team. Let me get that door for you.
Cayde opens a door on the other side of the security hub, letting the Guardian back into the cellblock.
- Cayde-6: Ooh, the turrets have a manual mode. INNN-teresting.
The Guardian proceeds through the cellblocks, fighting Hive while covered by the turrets controlled by Cayde.
- Cayde-6: Hey, buddy, whaddya think of my new guns? You still with us, Petra? We're gonna clear you a path to supermax real soon.
- Petra Venj: Copy that.
The Guardian moves into the next part of the block, where there are Cabal and more Hive.
- Cayde-6: I got this buddy. Take it easy.
- Cayde-6: Just try and keep up with these babies!
The Guardian makes it to the end of the cellblock, where the door to the secondary terminal is guarded by Kaaron, Blood Infernal. They defeat Kaaron, and Ghost interfaces with the terminal.
- Ghost: Bringing the security system online.
A pair of sirens ring through the facility, and mechanical switching noises can be heard outside.
- Cayde-6: You in the green now, P.V.?
- Petra Venj: Yes! Accessing the lower levels now. Just gotta check on a couple things, and then we can call it a day.
- Cayde-6: So long as you're the one buying.
{Cutscene}
Cayde can be seen exiting the security hub.
- Cayde-6: Looks like we're all done and dusted here, kiddos. Ramen's on me!
He looks down deeper into the cellblock to watch as lights switch on sequentially from top to bottom. The camera cuts to a lower level, where Petra is seen performing an inspection.
- Petra Venj: Looking pretty good down here. Just gotta check one last thing...
Petra turns a switch to open a large, heavy door. It opens, letting out clouds of mist as she holds out her sidearm. She enters the door and draws a flashlight, inspecting the rows of open cryo pods within. The particularly advanced pod at the far end of the room alarms Petra once she sees it.
- Petra Venj: No... no... no... no... Cayde - he's gone. This isn't a prison riot. It's a prison break!
The camera cuts back to Cayde at the security hub. Petra can still be heard through comms.
- Petra Venj: The airlock on Deck Zero! It's the only way out this far down. They're going to escape!
Cayde looks up at the damaged cables suspending the security hub.
- Cayde-6: Not if I get there first.
Cayde climbs on top of the security hub, draws his Hand Cannon, and aims it at the cables. The camera cuts to Petra back on the lower level, who hears Cayde's gunshots.
- Petra Venj: Cayde?
She rushes forward in time to witness the security hub falling down. As it passes by, she sees Cayde giving her a salute as he holds onto a cable. Petra mouths "what the" as she continues to watch the security hub fall. Once it reaches the bottom, it causes a spectacular explosion.
- Petra Venj: CAYDE!
She runs off as the screen fades to black.
{Cutscene}
The devastation caused by the crash of the security hub can be seen. Cayde's Ghost, Sundance, can be seen with her shell expanded. As it closes, she releases a burst of light, reviving a Cayde buried under a concrete slab, which he lifts off of himself. He grunts as he sits up.
- Cayde-6: Never felt better... ahhh...
Cayde picks up his gun from the floor, lets Sundance dissolve into his inventory, and stands up.
- Cayde-6: You see that, Petra? Petra? Guardian?
He looks around.
- Cayde-6: Must've knocked out the comm relays with that spectacular landing.
Cayde notices an unusual looking Fallen watching him. He notices then notices a few more.
- Cayde-6: And.. cue the ominous music. OK, everybody... back in your cages.
One of the unusual Fallen plants a staff with a loud metallic thud. With that cue, more of the unusual Fallen charge at Cayde.
- Cayde-6: I said... back in your cages!
Cayde begins fighting off the Fallen with his Hand Cannon and throwing knives. He hits an explosive barrel, which launches one of the Fallen into a group behind him. He jumps up onto a pile of debris and plants a tripmine behind him as he continues to shoot more Fallen, but he slides into one that catches him and throws him into a metal panel, causing him to drop his gun.
- Cayde-6: Yeah. That hurt.
The Fallen picks up a piece of debris, which it uses to bat Cayde into a hanging metal catwalk after he picked up his gun. He fires at the loose catwalk, making it drop down onto a group of the Fallen below him as he jumps down.
- Cayde-6: Sorry. Not sorry.
As he continues to fight the Fallen, one of the larger ones that were watching is prompted to take action, and can be seen climbing to a vantage point as Cayde continues fighting. Cayde eventually jumps to escape the Fallen, and in mid-air turns to face them with a Golden Gun, but is tackled out of the air onto the floor. He is disarmed by a Fallen with a mace, and tries to retrieve his gun but is slammed into a metal panel then onto the floor. The Fallen mob together to beat him up, but he escapes by jumping into the air and performing a Blade Barrage. He lands on his feet and retrieves his gun.
- Cayde-6: That's it! Now I'm pissed.
He is tackled to by another of the Fallen and pinned against a piece of debris. He kills the Fallen by headbutting it with his horn, and stumbles forward.
- Cayde-6: Was that really... all you got?
He steps over the bodies of the Fallen he has killed as the larger Fallen takes aim with his weapon. Cayde lets out Sundance.
- Cayde-6: Help me out here, little buddy.
The larger Fallen makes a satisfied grunt, and fires at Sundance, causing her to explode into fragments and an energy blast that temporarily blinds the other Fallen. As the fragments of his Ghost fall to the floor, Cayde stands up with his hood off. He looks around to see even more Fallen approaching him, including the larger ones. He looks down at his gun.
- Cayde-6: I'm coming home, Ace.
He puts his hood on and takes aim at the the approaching large Fallen, who swings his Flame Censer into Cayde's side before he can do anything, throwing Cayde through a wall and causing him to drop his Hand Cannon.
{Gameplay}
The Guardian wakes up, wounded, in the Hole.
- Ghost: ...Cayde? Petra? What's happening down there? Come in, Cayde!
Ghost notices that the Guardian is awake.
- Ghost: Hey, welcome back. We fell at least 20 stories down, and I can't reach Cayde. Or Petra.
The Guardian walks into the nearby cellblock, where they see an opened cryo pod with an unusual Ether trail leading out of it.
- Ghost: Ether trails. Look out for escaped Fallen. But... this Ether is... wrong, somehow.
The Guardian follows the trail to another block lined with more open cryo pods and strange Ether trails.
- Ghost: Something's loose. And it's close.
The Guardian comes to a door that partially opens into a group of Ravagers with Flame Censers. One of them destroys a Servitor, demonstrating the attack of this new enemy.
- Ghost: These... things... they used to be Fallen.
The Guardian jumps down into a utility tunnel, where they find more Ravagers.
- Ghost: The Fallen didn't just become this. Someone DID this to them.
They fight off more Ravagers, before entering another cellblock.
- Ghost: Detecting activity below us, but I still can't get anyone on comms.
An explosion rocks the cellblock, punctuated by more Ravagers jumping out of newly-opened cryo pods.
- Ghost: The lower we go, the more corrupted Ether we see.
As the Guardian approaches another door lower down, they see a trail of the corrupted Ether seemingly jump out of a cryo pod and through the door. Going through it, they see a group of Raiders through a door stuck open, who are seemingly able to turn into Ether trails to move quickly. As they move away, the door opens, allowing the Guardian through. They fight more Raiders and some Ravagers, before coming to another door.
- Ghost: Ahh, it's fused shut. We need another way.
The Guardian breaks into a nearby vent. At the other end, they see something crawling towards the right. With no other choice, they follow it into a utility room, where they encounter more of the strange creatures. They are Screebs, and the Guardian quickly discovers that they will explode if shot or if they get too close. After fighting them off, they head through a door with a hole blown into it further into the utility areas. A blast of energy occurs, knocking back the Guardian.
- Ghost: No! Cayde's Ghost... she's dead. Without his Ghost, Cayde dies... we've got to find him!
The Guardian continues further down into an arena, where they see strange sigils on the ground, and a Demented Abomination directly ahead, attempting to break down a door with its fists. Once they attack it, Raiders fall from the ceiling and attack the Guardian until the Demented Abomination is defeated.
- Ghost: Hold on Cayde! We're coming!
The Guardian heads through the door.
{Cutscene}
The large, corrupted Fallen can be seen through a massive door. The cloaked Awoken man from the first cutscene approaches them, seemingly an accomplice. The Guardian arrives, gun in hand, and stops just short of Cayde lying on the floor. The Awoken man turns around, revealing himself to be Prince Uldren Sov.
- Uldren Sov: He didn't feel a thing.
Uldren chuckles as the Guardian raises their weapon; but the door closes before they can get a shot. They rush over to Cayde to tend to him; there is an obvious bullet hole in his chest.
- Cayde-6: How's... How's my hair?
He chuckles and coughs as the Guardian looks him over.
- Cayde-6: Speechless. Typical.
The Guardian lets out Ghost.
- Ghost: Oh no... There's nothing I can- (To the Guardian) I'm... sorry.
- Cayde-6: Listen, kid. This... this ain't on you. This... is what I get for... for playing nice.
He coughs, before laughing weakly.
The Guardian nods in understanding.
- Cayde-6: ...the Vanguard... is the best bet... I ever... lost...
Cayde's eyes fade out as his head goes limp. Petra arrives running in.
- Petra Venj: No...
{Cutscene}
Cayde's body can be seen covered, alone in a morgue, save for Ikora Rey, flanked by the Guardian and Zavala, all paying their respects to Cayde.
- Ikora Rey: He had the worst jokes. Even worse timing. I wanted to laugh. I really did.
She approaches Cayde's body.
- Ikora Rey: We should have been there. (To the Guardian) This is not your fault. This... is on the head of Uldren Sov. But if he thinks what he's done is the end, it's not. It's... the beginning. We're going to fight him.
She turns to Zavala.
- Ikora Rey: Do you hear me? All of us. Every Titan. Every Warlock. Every Hunter. We will take the Reef by storm!
She turns back to Cayde's body.
- Ikora Rey: And then we will mount the head of that son of a bitch on his precious throne. For our fireteam... for Cayde.
- Zavala: No.
- Ikora Rey: What did you say?
- Zavala: We are not an army. We are not conquerors. We are Guardians. We need to keep our eyes here. On our home. Our people. The Traveler.
He approaches Cayde's body.
- Zavala: The Reef was lost the moment it lost its Queen. So if another Sov wants a stretch of lifeless rocks, let him have it.
- Ikora Rey: This is Cayde we're talking about. For us to do nothing is... is...
- Zavala: Say it.
- Ikora Rey: Cowardice.
Zavala walks to the other side of Cayde's body.
- Zavala: I refuse to bury any more friends.
He rests his hand on Cayde's body.
- The Guardian: You won't have to.
The Vanguards, surprised, look over at the Guardian.
- The Guardian: Uldren Sov is mine.
The Guardian proceeds to leave the room. The screen fades to black.
