With a series of clangs and detonations that broke the silence of the central chamber like thunderclaps, a small section of metal wall up near the top of the room grew molten orange, then exploded outwards in a shower of half-melted circuits and twisted shards of metal. Through the rapidly-cooling entryway strode the figure of Varrus who stopped at the jagged ledge as his hammer of sol faded from his grasp with a flash of solar light.

"Told you it was this way."

His ghost floated up behind him, its shell scrunched up in annoyance.

"Was that really necessary?! You could have damaged something important, you know."

"If the Vex don’t care that a meteor punched its way through eight levels of their complex, I doubt one extra hole will disrupt things."

"This is a whole lot closer to- Woah, that's different."

The giant followed the gaze of his ghost to the room beyond, spotting Arxus after a moment.

"Arxus, good to see you made it! I hope that whole mess didn't give you too much trouble?"

The titan dropped from his ledge. The core was entirely spherical in shape, and its "floor” was composed of a glowing translucent layer of tangible Vex logic, or something of the like, halfway between the bottom pit and the domed ceiling. Regardless of their nature, the shifting, humming, overlapping blue squares caught Varrus's bulk with the same ease as a block of concrete.
