Transcript
I have new Ghost telemetry for you, but a word of warning on this one. Anwar is a Ghost who has been through a lot. He was once a close confidant of the Speaker. After the Speaker died, Anwar began to question his connection to the Light, and began seeking out the truth about Darkness. Anwar believes the Darkness is an intrinsic, universal force that must be tended to like a garden, lest it grow unruly. But do not let Anwar's beliefs cast a shadow of doubt on his allegiances. He is an unwavering ally, but one who questions everything. His telemetry data leads me to believe he may be inside the Pyramid on Europa. I don't know what you'll find there. Be safe, Guardian.
Step 2
Search for Ghost telemetry in mission "The Communion" on Europa.
- Coordinates found
Ghost: I... I don't like the idea of going back into that Pyramid, Guardian. But we don't have any other choice.
Transcript
(Mission begins)
- Cayde-6: Europa — I ain't even there, and I can feel all that cold in my bones.
- Micah-10: Do... you remember Europa, Cayde?
- Cayde-6: Bits and pieces, yeah. I ain't a bit fan of numbers lower than six, but there's still pieces of them in here, rattling chains. Haunting.
- Micah-10: Guardian, my fears were correct. Anwar's signal was last detected inside the Europan Pyramid. Complicating matters, you aren't alone here. There is a detachment of Cabal that landed a few hours ago. Elsie sent me data on their movements.
- Ghost: They don't appear to be Witness-aligned forces. This could be more of Otzot's people.
- Micah-10: I'd heard rumors of some fracturing after Calus' death, but... I don't know what to make of this.
- Cayde-6: Well, some people feel more comfortable with a leash around their neck... whether it's guiding them to behave, or misbehave.
The Guardian approaches the Europan Pyramid, fighting their way through Cabal, including two Goliath Tanks. After interacting with a Crux of Darkness, they enter the Pyramid.
- Micah-10: Seems as though the Cabal have made it inside the Pyramid. Scans from Ghost show movement near the heart of the structure and unsettling activity inside. It's like the Pyramid is reacting to your presence, anticipating something.
- Cayde-6: Did you ever figure out who was flying this? Crow gave me a lowdown on the situation, and that part was, y'know, suspiciously blank.
- Micah-10: We did not.
The Guardian progresses through the Pyramid.
- Micah-10: Cayde? Do you remember anything from your first Exo incarnation?
- Cayde-6: Some. Ain't... exactly happy to talk about what I do, either.
- Micah-10: Was there a child?
- Cayde-6: I think. I don't know. I remember bits and pieces. Shadows of faces. It's all... it's all a jumble, Micah. Why?
- Micah-10: [sighs] It's nothing. It can wait for a more private moment.
After fighting their way through more of the Cabal, including an Imperial Deserter, the Guardian approaches the statue.
- Cayde-6: Oh, that's one of those big, screamy statues.
- A Dissenter: What is done must be undone. Your time is running out. Your time is running out!
- Cayde-6: Aaand they're screaming here too. Cool.
The Guardian approaches a calcified statue of a Legionary, Psion and War Beast merged into one and sends their Ghost to scan it. Once the scan is complete, they disable the devices suppressing the statue, calling in Valis Dralgur, the Exiled. Once the Colossus has been defeated, the Guardian communes with the statue.
- Ghost: I'm having a hard time picking up Anwar's signal. It stops here, at the statue.
- Micah-10: Oh. [exhales] Oh no...
- Ghost: Micah, what's wrong?
- Micah-10: Elsie just... found him. [clears throat] Shards of him. Anwar. At the Ziggurat.
- Ghost: I... No... He's dead?
- Micah-10: We should go collect his remains.
- Ghost: We'll go right away. I'm... so sorry, Micah.
- Micah-10: [sighs] Me too, Ghost.
- Cayde-6: Hey, kid. Why don't I come down and meet you? We can chat about whatever. Anything, your pick.
- Ghost: Thank you, Cayde.
(Mission ends)
Step 3
Search Europa for signs of Anwar.
- Orders read
Micah-10: Europa brings back a lot of memories, new and old. It's hard not to feel sentimental when I see the snow drifts and ice. For me, that moon has only ever meant one thing: change.
Notes
Anwar can be found at the base of the Veiled statue in the Europan Pyramid accessible by passing through a glowing circle on the Ziggurat.
Step 4
Return to the Arbor of Light in the Pale Heart to restore the Lost Ghost.
- Ghost Restored
Micah-10: Anwar... would've wanted his shell bathed in the Light of the Traveler. We should honor those wishes.
Step 5
Return to the Arbor of Light to discuss next steps.
- Micah-10 Visited
Micah-10: Come on back to the Arbor, we... we can talk about what happened to Anwar.
Transcript
I've... [sighs] never told anyone this, but I knew Cayde. Before he was a Guardian. Before I was a Guardian. We were both on Europa, before the Collapse. I found out about it after the Braytech facilities on Europa were unearthed. I... know Guardians aren't supposed to go digging into their pasts, but I did. I found my Exomind archive... [takes deep breath] I found myself. [sighs] Micah Abram. I grew up on Europa, and even then, I was struggling to understand my identity, in so many ways. As a child, I was having dreams — visions sent to me by the Traveler. I didn't understand them then, but I do now... It was preparing me. For this. For loss. For losing people. Like Anwar. Like Cayde. Cayde was the personal bodyguard of an Ishtar Collective research named Maya Sundaresh. He was an Exo before I entered the program. He... helped me. When my fathers were away on work, Cayde would talk to me. Play cards. Teach me how to cope with isolation. Cayde doesn't remember. And... that's OK. I can hug him, one last time. And remind him that he was missed. That he saved me.
