Sloane: No…
Xivu Arath: I AM THE THROAT THAT SINGS THE SONG OF YOUR UNDOING! I AM THE GRAVE, FILLED WITH BONES OF THE WEAK AND THE PITEOUS! I WILL BE YOUR REBIRTH, OR I WILL BE YOUR END!
Sloane: No. No!
Drifter: Sloane? You… you OK? Who’re you talking to?
Xivu Arath: I GUIDE YOUR HAND. I BLEED THEM DRY. I AM YOUR ENDING.
Sloane: [grunts] It’s under control. [exhales] I’m fine.
}
// OPTIONAL {
Sloane: I’m surprised you’re here and not with Osiris, Saint.
Saint-14: Ah, Osiris and I… we know we will always return to one another, but there will be times when we must be apart, too. For reasons bigger than either of us. But I am here because of you, Sloane. When I heard your voice on the comms, I was the first to stand and volunteer.
Sloane: I’m glad to hear you’ve started act more responsibly. I remember a very different Saint-14.
Saint-14: Ah, yes. That—those were—those were different times.
}
// OPTIONAL {
Sloane: Stasis. Strand. [sighs] Hard to believe that Guardians are actually using the Darkness, and that the Vanguard is OK with it!
Lord Saladin: I felt the same way at first. But over the years, I’ve come to understand that a former threat can make for a powerful asset.
Sloane: Like your “Iron War Beasts”? Even the ones who marched on the Last City?
Lord Saladin: Every soldier has battles they’d rather forget… whether they’re a Legionary, or an Iron Lord.
}
// OPTIONAL {
Sloane: Drifter, I’ve been meaning to ask for a long time: What is that thing you’re dragging behind the Derelict?
Drifter: Oh, that ol’ thing? Eh, some kinda paracausal mumbo jumbo. One of Ikora’s sneaky buddies calls it, uh, “an engine of pure potential”. The little curvy part’s a portal — goes to a space where imagination is reality. It’s what makes that machine I have work, how I make those counterfeit Taken.
Sloane: Counterfeit?
Drifter: Well, yeah! I ain’t some kinda’ spooky Taken maker! I just happen to have a big magic rock that makes dreams come true, sister.
Sloane: You don’t have any idea, do you?
Drifter: [laughs] Nope!
}
// OPTIONAL {
Drifter: Some of the tech we’re salvaging looks like it could have been used for weapons and armor. Makes you wonder why a bunch of eggheads would need their own private arsenal.
Lord Saladin: Despite being a time of peace, the Golden Age saw many advancements in the field of weapons research.
Drifter: Heh. No matter how good things get, someone’s always gearin’ up for the next war.
Lord Saladin: All good things eventually come to an end. The Collapse proved that once and for all.
}
// OPTIONAL {
Sloane: This report is interesting. Xivu Arath intended to use Rasputin’s Warsat network as an unwinnable scenario. We fire the Warsats on her army, she gains power through death. She fires the Warsats on the City, everyone dies. We only achieved victory through defeat. Through a… moment of sacrifice. It makes me wonder about our approach to defeating her.
Lord Saladin: Winning without fighting. Philosophers of war have contemplated this very thing, both in our culture and, as I’ve learned, those beyond Earth.
Sloane: How do you defeat the undefeatable? That’s an interesting problem.
}
// OPTIONAL {
Saint-14: This Ahsa, she has been here on Titan a long time, yes? But she is not FROM Titan, is she?
Drifter: Nope! Way I hear it, she’s a survivor of whatever turned into the worm gods the Hive worship. She got offered a bad deal and said, “No thanks.”
Saint-14: So… how did she get to Titan, then? Does she — does she have a very large ship?
Sloane: She burrowed.
Saint-14: Burrowed?
Sloane: Through the Ascendant Plane. I recall an explanation: something about… rivers through dimensions. Great currents and… cosmic flows. It’s all… very hazy.
