Cliffside, Fleetbase Korus, Phobos

Zavala: Guardian, this is Commander Zavala. The Cabal base on Phobos is blasting a signal across all channels. If they're willing to break transmission silence, this could be a prelude to a full-scale assault.

Ghost: We're setting down on Phobos now.

Zavala: I'll be monitoring your feed, Ghost. Good luck to you both

Fleetbase Korus

Cabal everywhere dead, Harvesters flee base

Cabal base explodes

Ghost: Zavala, the Cabal are evacuating with extreme prejudice. They're getting torn up down here.

Guardian enters fire stricken base

Eris Morn: Something has drawn us here. I can feel it.

Zavala: Guardian, I have asked Eris Morn to monitor the channel.

Eris Morn: I hear…whispers in the dark.

Guardian navigates through Cabal base

Ball of light flashes and disappears down hallway

Zavala: What the hell was that?

Eris Morn: Fingertips, on the surface of my mind!

Zavala: Yes…thank you for your input, Eris.

Cabal caught trying to escape the base, debris falls on elevator

Eris Morn: The whispers are louder. I will endure.

They speak a word. A name.

Smoke, in the shape of Oryx appears in front of Guardian

Eris Morn: He…is here!

Oryx: Light! Give your will to me!

Taken forces appear, swarm guardian

Syrok, Word of Oryx is defeated

Eris Morn: You have seen his face. It was His hand that transformed the Cabal.

Zavala: This mission is scrubbed. Guardian, get to your ship and get out of there.

Guardian hastily finds an escape route

Zavala: The base is a loss. We have reports of these "Taken" across the system. Go! Get out!

Guardian begins descent towards ship, witnesses severe chaos

Ghost: Our ship's landing across the airfield, hurry!

Guardian battles through waves of Taken forces

Ghost: We're almost there!

Guardian escapes Skyburner's Keep

Ghost: Zavala, we made it to our ship. We're heading home.
