Episode: Revenant Act I: Eliksni Rescue

Tonic Laboratory, The Last City

The Guardian speaks to Eido.

Eido: Your progress with tonics has been astounding, Slayer Baron. But Fikrul is still at large, and a shadow continues to loom over my father. Crow remains adamant about keeping Eramis confined. I'm worried he's hindering a key source of help for us... At least we have you on the field helping my people. You always manage to find a way out of the dark. House Light and the Vanguard scouts are on Fikrul's trail. I'll let you know when we've found something. Thank you for everything you've taken on for us, Guardian. I have more to ask. We can bolster my tonic research to create more potent mixtures to aid you if you'll help me with the fieldwork to gather resources and lab equipment I'll need. Eramis has also informed me that House Salvation is missing an Apothecary named Ixis in the wake of Fikrul's attacks. If you'll do me the favor of helping to search for her while you're out in the field, I'm sure she could expedite my research. I'll benefit you in this struggle against Fikrul and it may even help my father and his condition.

Episode: Revenant Act I: Eliksni Rescue

Cadmus Ridge, Europa

The Guardian collects a Stasis chunk and a Europan icicle.

The Guardian drinks experimental tonic and completes the Major Fieldwork.

Eido: Thank you for providing me with ample data for my research. In return… I wish to share something with you. A recording. Do not ask how I obtained it.

Eramis: When do you think my people’s Ether reserves run out? At the rate your Guardians destroy our Servitors, it can’t be long.

The Crow: Eramis…

Eramis: Have you seen the effects of Ether starvation? The way our carapace flakes? The way it peels away to expose raw muscle? It is living death. Agony in unsleeping rot.

The Crow: I’ve seen it. In the Eliksni who refused to kneel to House Salvation and fled across Sol for their lives. You willingly marched your own kind to their deaths in service of a lie. That’s why you’re here. It’s what you have the power to prevent. We’ve both made mistakes we can’t take back. I killed Cayde. I created Fikrul. But I can make it better. I can own those choices and do better by the people I hurt. You can too. Help us find the defectors of House Salvation. They can integrate into the House of Light. They have a chance for a fresh start. Right here, right now.

Eramis: There is no future for me. But that does not mean there must be no future for my people. I will rob them of that. [sighs] I will tell you.

Eido: Eramis has blood on her hands, and so many ask for blood in return. But her death would not undo any of it. I shared this in the hopes you may see that too. That one life spared could spare a thousand more. Father may call that naive. But I remember the old words: “A docked arm cannot share the weight.”

Tonic Laboratory, The Last City

The Guardian returns to Eido.

Eido: Your support is many-armed as always, Guardian! Every success out in the field opens up opportunities to create more tonics or find new lab equipment. House Light and Hunter Vanguard scouts are tracking Fikrul across the Sol System. We've been searching the region in every Eliksni enclave he attacks. I'll let you know when we find something. In the meantime, my people need you on the frontline against the Revenants.
