ISHTAR COMMONS

Ishtar Sink, Venus

''A drawing slowly forms on the screen, the background a fiery blend of orange and red. A hexagon shapes in the middle, and the official Titan symbol expands in the center.''


 * COMMANDER ZAVALA: What does it mean to be a Titan?

The symbol fades, and the hexagon expands.


 * ZAVALA: As a Titan, you are part of the City in a way no Warlock or Hunter can understand.

''A profile of two Sunbreakers facing each other starts to materialize. ''


 * ZAVALA: The dream of the City rests upon our shoulders. Then there are those that find a path outside our walls--those that take up with leaders they barely understand.

''The Sunbreakers fade, and the Hammer of Sol is illustrated. A circular outline seems to explode outward, surrounding the Hammer.''


 * ZAVALA: So it has ever been with the Sunbreakers. The Hammer of Sol is a flame in the darkness. But fire burns without thought.

The Hammer fades away, and a final picture materializes: a Titan holding the Hammer of Sol above their head, ready to strike.


 * ZAVALA: It is time that fire came home--to keep the City and her walls warm throughout the long night.

{Gameplay}

The Titan arrives in the Ishtar Commons.


 * ZAVALA: A legion of Sunbreakers were spotted near a Vex gate in the Ishtar Sink. They do not stay in one place for long.

''The Titan makes their way into the N/Gen Branch. A few Vex are peppered around the area.''


 * GHOST: I'm detecting what looks like a Sunbreaker's beacon, but it's interlaced with Vex feedback.

''The Titan eliminates the light Vex presence. They find a small beacon near the stairs, and they send the Ghost to scan it. A radio transmission can be heard:''


 * VOICE: (radio) Fall back! Fall back! Should've known Osiris... (static) ... Protect the Forge once they're in! You remember... (static, cuts out)
 * ZAVALA: Osiris? Find out where they've gone, Guardian. My report said they were headed to a Vex gate.

''The Titan heads up the stairs, encountering more Vex along the way. As they head toward the Dig Site, the Titan finds a heavier Vex force. Eventually, they reach Dig Site 4. Upon arriving, they are confronted by a large Hydra guarding a conflux behind it. The Titan makes short work of the Hydra. More Vex spawn in its place, including a few Minotaurs. The Titan destroys them.''


 * GHOST: The gate's offline. If I can map that conflux, I might be able to figure out where it leads.

The Titan allows the Ghost to scan it.


 * GHOST: Zavala, the Sunbreakers opened this gate to Mercury! I have the coordinates.
 * ZAVALA: Then plot a course. Find their Forge, Guardian. If the City hopes to weather the oncoming Darkness, we will need the flame it holds.

Mission ends.
