Arriving at Sloane's location, the team finds her alive but partially afflicted with Taken energies. She informs them at the distress signal she made wasn't made for her but for a massive underwater creature she befriended during her time away, named [[Ahsa]]. Sloane clarified that Ahsa is an old enemy of The Witness, and therefore bears valuable intelligence regarding their shared foe, but to communicate with her clearly she needs to strengthen her connection. The Drifter stated he could use his Gambit tech along with the [[egregore]] that was growing in the methane sea. Zavala approves of the mission to help Sloane, with Guardians delving deep into the methane seas to gather what they need. In addition, the Guardians partook in salvage operations for the Vanguard and the Drifter, clashing with the Wrathborn Hive and Fallen from the House of Dusk that had disappeared when Titan vanished but had been driven mad over the course of the moon's absence. | Arriving at Sloane's location, the team finds her alive but partially afflicted with Taken energies.

The Coalition would be successful in this endeavor, learning of the Witness's origins and Savathun's role to follow it through the portal and put a stop to its plans. With the mission complete, Sloane volunteered to stay on Titan so she could keep on Ahsa while the creature's on hibernation. | |||

*In reality, Titan's dense atmosphere obscures the surface from visible light and makes the moon appear orange. Its in-game appearance was likely inspired by false color images of Titan constructed using ultraviolet and infrared photography, through which the surface is also visible. | |||
