Part 1: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/135887868/0/0 S: Dude that gally lit up the hallway... I hope you saw what I saw. SS: I saw that thing... He absorbed the rocket. I didn't even see wolf pack rounds hit him D: Sorry to interrupt but I got 5 of these things down my hallway and they're walking closer. S: alright D put on armor of light, I'll fist of havoc them and SS you tell the others if we end up getting swarmed. SS: These look like thralls but infused with some shadow substance, do you think it could be the darkness? D: whatever the hell it is it's eating our bullets, SS get ready to run. If these things are everywhere here we might not make it till morning. S: let's do this boys, 3 guardians vs. 6 invincible thralls, I've seen worse. D: One ran off to the side. I didn't think these things could do anything faster than a walk. SS: what are they waiting for? They know they can rush us? ???: alright guardians you've seen my basic modified thralls, now imagine what happened to the majors. D: ohh -blam!- me S: they're coming drop the bubble! D: What happened to those claws man! They look like butcher knives! No wonder the speaker didn't stand a chance! S: 3,2,1 SMASH! SS: I didn't even see one die man! How the hell are we gonna kill them? ???: if that's how well you do against thralls just wait till you see the my magnum opus! It's sure to be a blast. Since you're friends seem to have a bit more common sense than you I think I'll send him after them. D: Ahhrggg one of them got me in the shoulder! This bubble ain't doing jack! S: you have armor on! How low did that take you! D: one more hit and I'm dead man S: try to sit tigh... D: S what happened?! Wait are they...eating him?! Not even normal thralls were savage enough to do that! SS: no, not like this not now, please don't hit me! D: SS when I die and they leave you need to self rez and tell the others SS: don't say when, say if! Here stay inside this solar grenade that will buy you some more time! D: don't delay the inevitable SS they're are immune to everything we throw at them. Unless you got some hidden power to save my ass I'm done. Let me go SS. Tell the others, find something to take down these new enemies, and if u get back tell commander zavala I died fighting... SS: God damn it! D didn't deserve to die but I guess I can execute his final wishes, come on SS you gotta keep it together and warn the others. [i]VW, GS, and BD walking outside[/i] VW: How big is this courtyard? We've been walking for a half an hour now and we still can't see the fence. BD: don't complain. More room for a tactical retreat. VW: toché, GS how much time do we have till morning. GS I'd estimate sunrise in 2 hours. VW: you've gotta teach me how to do that without equipment one day. GS: hunter secret sorry man. VW: just like blink was warlock secret until you stole it. BD: Well blink was pretty easy concept to learn, in fact I'm surprised the Titans haven't stolen it as well. VW: they probably have a sense of honor, unlike some hunters. GS: stop that bickering and come over here I think I found something. Stay quiet. VW: what is it man? GS: Cabal camp 60 meters ahead... Something's off about them though. BD: I see them. They seem to be worshipping some white portal. VW: Cabal don't worship anything but war, this seems more like the hive's rituals. BD: let's just stake them out, observe from afar before confronting these guys. VW: I think that would leave us vulnerable from behind BD: GS can guard us. GS: I'm all for that but I think we got out of the house just in time, it looks like it's on fire. VW: could be SS. Let's wait to see if he has any news. [i]The guardians watch the ritual of the cabal for an hour and 15 minutes when GS spots something in the distance[/i] GS: unidentified thing coming at us. I got a sniper rifle on his head in case it's not SS BD: good. VW and I have come to the conclusion that these cabal are sacrificing other cabal to the white portal. We still have yet to determine where that portal goes to and who opened it but one things for sure that portal converts these sacrifices to a modified version of themselves.
