Ikora has briefed Failsafe on the Echo of Command, which the Vanguard believe the Conductor is somehow using to influence the Nessus Vex.

While your support has allowed her to greatly expand her research capabilities, Failsafe's studies of the Nessus radiolaria are yielding few results. "Which is a huge disappointment," she mutters, but she has developed a new approach.

"We could mix nanomachines into the radiolaria and reintroduce it to the planet!" she exclaims. The nanomachines won't survive in the radiolaria for long, but she'll be able to track their movements beneath the planet's crust.

"Maybe that'll help us figure out what's going on," she says.
