Avori raised his head and coughed out sand. When he looked up, and found himself in a dark sand dune, in the shade of a Vex structure which was constantly shifting and rearranging its shape. Avori's Sparrow was half buried in a bank of sand, constantly boosting to no avail. It was emitting a high-pitched wailing noise, and before too long it exploded.

"Well, at least I had the foresight to have Holliday save me a spare back at the Tower..." Avori said. "Where are we? Is this that Black Garden place some of the other Guardians were talking about?"

"Scanning... No. We're not even on Mars anymore," Avori's Ghost replied. "I'm not quite sure, but I think this is Mercury."

Avori walked out from the shade of the Vex building, and found that the Sun almost filled the entire sky.

"Yeah, I think you're right," Avori responded. "Transmat us out of here now!"

"Can't. The Lance is still on Mars, if it hasn't yet been shot down," the Ghost replied. "But wait... I'm detecting the light of a few Guardians about 500m away. Looks like a small fireteam."

"Guardians, here? Why?"

"No idea, but I'd rather catch up with them then trek this planet alone"

"Good point," Avori said, then jogged away from the portal, towards the Guardians' light signatures, keeping to the shadows as best as possible.
