The Black Garden
A figure matching the appearance of the Guardian approaches the Guardian. Several Pyramids can be seen in the distance.
Unknown Figure: You made it. We have heard your cries for help. And soon we will answer.
The Guardian: Who are you?
Unknown Figure: Don't you recognize us? We are not your friend. We are not your enemy… We are your… Salvation.
Sanctuary, The Moon
The Guardian approaches Eris Morn.
Eris Morn: They are not our salvation… They're our destruction. This has been a manipulation from the very start. They know we're here. They know what we've found. The artifact you recovered may be tainted. After all, they wanted us to have it. But a treasure such as this is far too valuable to destroy. I must stay and study it with the utmost care. Whatever I discover, you will be the first to know.
The Guardian gives Eris Morn the Unknown Artifact.
Eris Morn: In the meantime, the Nightmares continue to plague parts of our galaxy, leaving only suffering in their wake. If we ignore them, they fester and spread. How long before they reach the Last City? How long before our friends become infected with this same torment? We will not let this come to pass. These Nightmares must be kept at bay. Whatever it takes.
