Echo of Command

This article is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

The Echo of Command is one of several paracausal artifacts known as Echoes that were released from within the Traveler following the destruction of the Witness. Like the other Echoes, it is believed to be a memory or psychic imprint of a species that was conquered and destroyed by the Witness and its Black Fleet, preserved in the Darkness and made manifest through the Light. In the case of the Echo of Command, it was created from the memories of the Qugu, specifically those of Warden Te'Qal, the last commander of the Qugu's Seht Armada who died in their final stand against the Hive and the Black Fleet. It grants its user the ability to command and compel other beings.

It is currently in the possession of the original version of Maya Sundaresh, whose consciousness survived her death on Neomuna within the Darkness of the Veil and was reincarnated on Nessus within an Exo body she crafted using the Echo's ability to compel the local Vex. Styling herself as "the Conductor," Maya used the Echo to introduce individuality to the Vex and bring them under her control, creating a new collective known as the Nessian Schism.

Description

The Echo appears to be a collar-like device with a horseshoe-like shape, with an extension seemingly infused with Prismatic energy. Its interior surface is studded with apertures which appear to emit beams capable of synthesizing matter; the introductory cutscene to Act II of Echoes depicts the Echo constructing the Conductor's Exo body out of thin air.
