Failsafe: A friendly warning: I am detecting seismic events all along the planet’s crust. I believe the Red Legion is to blame.
Failsafe Second Half: Hey, who wants to bet the Vex will tear us all apart trying to fix it?
Zavala: Agreed. Be careful, Guardian. There’s no one out there to back you up.

Zavala: The Red Legion has compromised this planet’s crust. My scouts report multiple seismic events across the surface.
Failsafe: Analysing radio chatter. Commander, I believe the Legion is responsible. Perhaps they are conducting some sort of research?
Ghost: Huh. Even their scientists are bullies.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Xw8uqVr9ZO_-FwbY-lVE_dkxa8ntmAcP
Zavala: Cayde’s scouts have made a distressing report.
Ghost: According to the data, it’s a Red Legion research team. Research? All I can picture is bigger explosions!
Zavala: We cannot allow them any advantage. This war has gone on too long.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a7jK2EfFVy6tfl9f6f03yE2rYbYmdw1m
Zavala: Welcome to Nessus. This planet is crawling with Vex. The Red Legion have sent in crews, and we need to know why. Failsafe, are you online?
Failsafe: Commander, your favourite AI is primed and ready. I have prepared back doors into several key Vex systems. We have detected a series of seismic disruptions. The Cabal may be responsible.
Zavala: We need to know what we’re dealing with. Yours are the boots on the ground, Guardian. Good luck.

Ghost: On your right: a waterfall of Vex… milk. Yes, Vex milk. @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NiKQyUEe5jrkwk3hFXuqfEbIw3tt1szW
Ghost: Oh, look! Look! It’s a Vex milk waterfall, can we stop and - aww. @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=14QwURKt0QIHrEudaahCZhOZTauPgD-iJ

Ghost: Hey, Failsafe! You’re all cozy in your data core. Any advice on an energy shield?
Failsafe: I believe the nearby Vex constructs maintain that barrier.
Ghost: Well, I could’ve - OK, we’ll shoot them.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XfVgOq7DQqwa1GA0-bnqNKlqeZOYZPxv
Ghost: Oh, a barrier. This planet loves barriers. Zavala, I think they’re trying to contain the Red Legion.
Zavala: They have bigger problems. Namely you, Guardian.

++ Excavation Site VII, Nessus

Dialogue Author File location
Ghost: What could the Red Legion possibly be drilling for?
Failsafe: According to radio chatter, they want to build more guns.
Failsafe Second Half: Who could have guessed?
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ItDNECgx9pz6x44IoOsg8KIHX6WIydhQ
Ghost: Look at those drills. Even the Vex can’t stop a Cabal invasion.
Zavala: Survival is a temporary condition. For all of us.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1d_i65ClHpZsGX4fY-ldL_ihB8O2CPHcj
Failsafe: Friendly query: what have you done to attract such hostile species to my planet?
Zavala: Rest easy, Failsafe. The Guardian has this.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1O_CY6fI4bKscYInh7y9hNjaEICHm-E_z
Ghost: Zavala: giant drills. Apparently, Cabal research equals giant drills. ZAVALA!
Zavala: Preparation wins any fight, Ghost. Should they deploy the drills on Earth, we’ll need your expertise.

** The Guardian finds Vex and Cabal fighting near the drill site.

Ghost: And of course the drills have armed crews.
Failsafe: Friendly suggestion: Drop them first, Cap.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-2N4CaQsLb4ZDPetwV44YOTrC3YZy-ql
Ghost: Zavala! Looks like the drills are manned by a full battalion of Cabal!
Zavala: A full battalion? What is that to you, who have slain gods in the heart of the Black Garden?
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=17iKGlLrE7EjrFiwD0k1fimSUuiDWYu_P
Ghost: And of course the drills have armed crews.
Failsafe: If it’s helpful, I suggest you deal with the drills when the shooting stops.
Ghost: The shooting never stops…

** The Guardian defeats the two Cabal drill officers.

Ghost: You know, Cayde got stuck stealing from the Vex. Why didn’t that happen to the Red Legion?
Failsafe: Calculating Red Legion similarity to the Cayde-6: .0001%.
Failsafe Second Half: Plus, you know, Cayde’s dumb.
Ghost: You’re both depressing and unhelpful.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T1wvRrRKph6G_AiqEOqkyD5ESw5OGUxw
Failsafe: Just so you know: I have detected a massive Vex energy signature.
Ghost: And the only way to reach it is down past those giant, pointy drill bits? Good!

Ghost: Do the Vex want this drill? If I were them I’d want it gone. @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JI80RBRX18n1v5yzkdMgp7ntpBjHDWkM
Ghost: Hey, wait! We’re not Cabal! @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xf2YNL1G7nUM2jTULncMD5zzVsErIrwC
Ghost: I think they want their drill back! @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m0YasBJ4Fk76flph_jyy43U_ZTfJBBGO

** The Guardian defeats all the attackers (Vex or Cabal). The transit system is reoriented.

Ghost: I think it’s lined up. Right? @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qvUAAVKmVPZp_YDDfXc0psR1-Q1p97pD
Ghost: Let’s hope this thing launches in the right direction! Or it’s going to be a short trip. @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jeHRIFAS9S-kyLQzCjUt9FHBcYl7H0BC

Ghost: It’s switching guns! @DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=10FLWhBLVwdFSQ8jHJuH6gp1O9a1GhODb

** The Guardian defeats Protheon, Modular Mind.

Dialogue Author File location
Ghost: That did it! Modular Mind is down!
Failsafe Second Half: So… Cabal scientists can take a punch, but they’re not very smart. I guess they cracked open the planet and that Mind came crawling out?
Ghost: Golden Age computer core and that’s all she came up with? I could’ve said that.
Failsafe: If you’d like my insight, I’ve filed an after-action report complete with four hundred and thirty-three tactical notes. I win.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=16DzVcft5hUXRh31zYqAjuQnObpuL5MwL
Ghost: Zavala. Modular Mind neutralized.
Zavala: Vex weapons would have been a nightmare in Red Legion’s hands. You won us an entire theater of this war. I would say you deserve a rest, but we need you elsewhere. Something tells me that suits you just fine.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Qytxb3sITepeCdyVoJV5pEfVuoDef090
Ghost: Zavala. Modular Mind neutralized. Hey, hey Failsafe.
Failsafe: Yes, friendly Ghost?
Ghost: We did it. We did a great job. Admit it.
Failsafe Second Half: Technically, the captain did. You live in her backpack.
Ghost: Ugh! Switch off.
@DrJazzyBebop https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LvbrHROltLT_a8je_9hrN5jQ0y8yqwRB
Zavala: Well done. Failsafe, what’s your assessment of this incident?
Failsafe: Vex records indicate the Cabal discovered the Mind, and dug into this world to capture it. Had the Red Legion achieved their goal, I estimate a 60% chance this planetoid would have been destroyed in the ensuing battles. Luckily, the captain stepped in.

@Volts42 thank you for uploading a clip from the strike! Could you please upload the clip to Google Drive and then post a link next to the dialogue section you’ve transcribed? We’ll eventually have to put all the clips together in one long (very loooonnngggg…) video for the strike transcript so it’s easier to have the clips uploaded somewhere like Google Drive where they can be downloaded from. Thank you!
