VARIKS, THE LOYAL: Reef different, now. Petra mauled by grief, loss of her Queen. Same for House Wolves. Banner is torn, Kell is dead. And so, they seek a cave to call home.

{Gameplay}

The Guardian lands in the Valley of the Kings, and heads upward. ''The Guardian arrives at the Trenchworks, where a lone Colossus sits, guarded by a sparse amount of Phalanxes. The Guardian uses the environment to their advantage and takes out the Major. Suddenly, a battalion of Cabal appear over the horizon, all heading toward the Guardian.'' The Guardian patiently kills the incoming group, and continues onward. The Guardian heads inside towards the Iron Line. They reach the main hallway, which is surrounded by Fallen. ''Seeking out their thickest patches of resistance, the Guardian attacks and wipes out the Fallen invaders, including Dregs, Vandals, Stealth Vandals and Captains. The Line is clear.'' Mission ends.
 * VARIKS: Fallen Houses must hunt, prowl, scavenge, defend. House Devils has Earth. House Winter has Venus. And now Wolves claim Mars. Cabal will not be pleased.
 * PETRA VENJ: Guardian, stop! I'm reading a large platoon of Cabal soldiers just over that ridge!
 * VARIKS: Welcome to the front, Petra. You...are well?
 * PETRA: Well enough...Guardian, you are more or less clear to the base entrance. Stay alert. The legion is mobilizing all across the planet's surface.
 * VARIKS: You are close. They will have your scent now. Be wary.
 * PETRA: There! Clear them out. You can't let them take that base!
 * PETRA: Very nice, Guardian. (solemnly) And...thank you for giving me something else to think about. She never would've said it out loud, but...the Queen respected you a great deal.
 * VARIKS: As do I. Wolves here broken, but still more remain. Will continue to track and look for signs of new leader...new Kell.
