My idea is called "The Ghost's Resting"; this story takes you to the moons of Europa an Io. The two most recognizable moons of Jupiter, the former a dark, frigid wasteland with Golden Age structures hidden beneath frozen seas, the latter a unstable volcanic world home to many active volcanos and rivers of molten lava. It begins when you travel to Europa after picking up a distress signal from another Guardian exploring the moon's icy surface; but upon tracking down the signal, you discover it is a trap set by the Cabal based on the moon. In the ensuing battle, you and your Ghost are separated, and your Ghost captured by the Cabal. Upon returning to the Tower, you receive dire news from your Vanguard mentor (Zavala, Cayde-6, or Ikora depending on your class); if you do not retrieve your Ghost in 7 days, or should you Ghost die at the hands of the Cabal, then you will die as well. Your Vanguard mentor volunteers to accompany you the moons of Jupiter to help retrieve your Ghost. From there, you tackle a series of vehicle-heavy Story missions as you battle both the Cabal and the Fallen across Europa and Io. Altogether, this expansion would include [b]10 new Story missions[/b] (including a space mission and a chance to drive a Fallen Devil Walker), [b]2 new Patrol missions[/b] on two new planets as big as those in the base game, [b]2 new Strikes[/b], and [b]a new Raid[/b] which will reward the player with Fallen-themed Exotic & Legendary weapons and armor. Finally, you would get 4 new multiplayer maps; two large vehicle-heavy maps, and two small maps set on Europa and Io. [b]Story Missions[/b] [i]-Guardian Down (Odin Basin, Europa) -Level 20 Story[/i] A distress call can be heard from the surface of Europa, in the Odin Basin; a Guardian is pinned down by the Cabal, and in need of rescue. Track down the signal and help him to fend off the Cabal. [i]-Rewards: Legendary Armor Upgrade Dead Ghost (Story)[/i] [i]-Picking Up the Trail (Odin Basin, Europa) -Level 20 Story[/i] The Guardian's distress signal was a trap, and now your Ghost is in the hands of the Cabal. You have 7 days to get him back, or both of you will die. With the help of your Vanguard mentor, scour the surface of Europa on stolen Pikes and search for Cabal activity; find out where they have taken your Ghost. [i]-Rewards: Legendary Primary Weapon Upgrade Cabal Communications Data (Story)[/i] [i]-Into the Depths (Odin Basin, Europa) -Level 20 Story[/i] Information retrieved from a Cabal outpost in the Odin Basin has revealed that your Ghost is in the possession of Valus Po'Mata, the Cabal commander on Io. He's hiding in an old research facility under the ice of the Frozen Sea; find a way in, and stop Po'Mata before he can flee with your Ghost. [i]-Rewards: Ascendant Materials Io Coordinate Data (Story)[/i] [i]-The Landing (Osiris Peaks, Io) -Level 20 Story [/i]Valus Po'Mata escaped, but coordinates retrieved from the underwater facility in the Frozen Sea hint at the location of a heavily fortified Cabal stronghold amid the Osiris Peaks on Io. Guardians have already set up a command post on Io; head for the CP and use the defensive Turrets and stolen Interceptors to help them defend it against a Cabal attack. [i]-Rewards: Interceptor Link Override** Vanguard Battle Report (Story)[/i] **This mission grants you the Interceptor Link Override, a consumable item that allows you to summon an Interceptor in Patrol mode instead of a Sparrow wherever the Cabal are present; this includes Mars, Europa, and Io.

[i]-Power Trip (Osiris Peaks, Io) -Level 20 Story[/i] The Guardians have located Valus Po'Mata's base of operations, a place they call "The Ghost's Resting"; a research facility where the Cabal are studying captured Ghosts. Standing in your way is a geothermal power plant under Cabal control. To get past their defenses, seek out the docked Fallen Ketch near the base of the volcano and commandeer a Devil Walker; use it to break through the Cabal's defenses and capture the power plant. [i]-Rewards: +25 Weekly Limit Increase (Vanguard Marks) Devil Walker Schematics (Story)[/i] [i]-The Ghost's Resting (Osiris Peaks, Io) -Level 20 Story[/i] The Vanguard has the Ghost's Resting surrounded, and Valus Po'Mata has nowhere to run.

[i]-Rewards: Legendary Engram[/i] [i]-The Prototype (Odin Basin, Europa)* -Level 20 Story[/i] Amanda Holliday has a request.

Before the collapse, scientists on Europa were trying to reverse-engineer Fallen ships and reportedly built a prototype jumpship with Fallen technology that could fly through the Darkness without sustaining damage. Look for the prototype jumpship in the old docking facility on Europa, and bring it back to Holliday. -Rewards: [i]Fallen Keriks-Class Jumpship** Rare Sparrow Upgrade Prototype Jumpship (Story)[/i] **Basically a unique Fallen-themed Legendary jumpship.
