First Mission: Rise of Siva *Your guardian flies to Vostok to meet with Lord Saladin, who called you for something prevalent* Saladin: Young Wolf, it is good to see you once more. Ghost: We got your message, what's wrong? *Saladin turns around to face the statue of Lady Jolder. With a torch in his hand, he rekindles the flame that lays underneath her statue.* S: SIVA has returned. GH: How? We destroyed the Replication Chamber and destroyed what was left of it. The last thing that remained was the SIVA weapon. S: Are you familiar with the ship on Nessus? GH: The Exodus Black... wait a minute, it contained SIVA! G: Didn't we destroy all of it when the fallen tried to get their hands on it that time? Zavala called it Operation Exodus Crash. GH: Yeah, but do you also remember how long it took for a fireteam to actually get it done? G: Oh right, nobody wanted to do it. S: It seems that wasn't the only place that held SIVA G: What do we do? *Shiro-4 and Lady Efrideet enter the room* Shiro: Saladin, the last place SIVA was used was on the Moon just 5 hours ago. G: Shiro... it's been too long SH: Likewise. How's the city? GH: Still healing. You should come vis- SH: No, not any time soon. We have a job to get done. *Shiro walks towards Saladin* Efrideet: Don't mind him little light, that's just how he's been. GH: Since when? E: Since Cayde. GH: Oh... right. *Ghost narrows his frame downward, showing is representation of his sadness* G: Just give him time, not all of us have coped with the fact he's gone yet. Efrideet: Eventually he'll get over it, but in the meantime, I'll debrief you. Me and Shiro will be at Site 45, you and Saladin will check out what's been going on at the Hellmouth, we'll rendezvous at your location once we've cleared out everything we were looking for. Guardian: Sounds like a plan. *Lady Efrideet and Shiro-4 leave the room as Saladin approaches the Guardian* S: Young Wolf, We don't know what the fallen are capable of with the SIVA. Before, they couldn't control it, but now- Guardian: You're right, it could pose a problem, however, it does not phase me whether they can or can't. We're putting this to an end, for good. S: That's what I hope for. *Lord Saladin and The Guardian leave the room, getting on their ship to head to the Moon* AREA: You're back on the moon but this time, everything has been a bit infected by SIVA. Saladin is right next to you, looking around, angry by what SIVA has become. Saladin: Let's go, we don't have time to waste. *you head for the Hellmouth, on your way, you notice Fallen Skiffs stationed around the edge. At the center, there is an Archon. Her name is Fyûlan, Splicer Archon* Saladin: It's best not to draw too attention. Let's keep moving. GH: Almost terrifying how fast SIVA can develop... Saladin: That's why we're here. *you both manage to bypass the Splicers and continue moving forward into the Hellmouth* GH: I'm guessing the Hive didn't last long against the Splicers. Guardian: On the surface? It seems like they had no chance. But don't forget, it's the depths that they control. Saladin: Shiro, did you find anything? Shiro: From what I've gathered, it looks like they managed to change the directive of SIVA. GH: Are they adapting? SH: That's not all, the coding that I managed to pull out looks be that the new directive is "Consume, Enhance, Eradicate". Saladin: This isn't good. We must hurry! Shiro: This is different from last time Saladin. These guys know what they're doing with SIVA. They've gotten better with it. I think we should wait until backup arrives. Saladin: No, if we wait now, who knows what other plans they might unravel. We must do this now. I have an idea, I'll be waiting for you and Efrideet. Shiro: On our way. Saladin: In the meantime, Guardian, let's head forward. *you and Saladin traverse deeper into the Hellmouth, uncovering a new area, filled with SIVA flowing through the air. Upon entering the room, are stairs that lead downward, towards the center of the room. Around the room itself, are broken columns and destroyed hive crystals. There are also SIVA modules surrounding the room* MINI BOSS: Rimyik, Perfected Baron Rimyik will be standing at the center with a Sivafied minigun. Rimyik Teleports a lot and every now and then, he spawns turrets around the room. Saladin aids you with his axe and weapons. Ads spawn in every now and then. Once defeated, Rimyik will teleport away from the battle to heal. You later follow down the path and find him again but he's weakened. Right next to him is a massive Splicer. Fyûlan, Archpriest Eradicate. Ghost: That looks like one of the main targets. *Fyûlan senses the light of guardians nearby* Fyûlan: They followed you here. Rimyik: I had no choice, my apologies master. Fyûlan: No matter, I shall end them. *You enter the room and notice Fyûlan standing there* Fyûlan: Show me what the Light can do. MAIN BOSS: Fyûlan, Archpriest Eradicate The boss battle is simple, Fyûlan has a Scorch cannon that tracks you and leaves an AOE on the ground. The AOE is SIVA mites that swarm the area that it's in. Once Fyûlan reaches half health, he will engulf the area with SIVA mites. Fyûlan: This is the end for you. *Right before Fyûlan finishes his technique, Efrideet snipes him in the head to stun him, while Shiro follows up with his Blade Barrage.* Efrideet: We have to go now! Ghost: That didn't stop him? Saladin: Not even close. *SIVA mites begin pouring out of Fyûlan, healing him* Fyûlan: *Boisterous Laughter* That was an excellent warm up, but it's going to take a lot more than that. *Fyûlan's health has been regenerated to max, the second fight begins now* Guardian: There's no time, we take this -blam!- out now! *Once defeated, Fyûlan regenerates one more time* Fyûlan: You wish to continue this? it is inevitable. Shiro: Don't need to, it seems like this will be the last time we have to do this. Ghost: I'm detecting no SIVA reserves from Fyûlan, we can do this! *Suddenly, a flicker of red lights begin to produce near Fyûlan. Tevaazol, Archpriest Consumed and Grapiks, Archpriest Enhanched teleport right in front of Fyûlan, Archpriest Eradicate* Efrideet: Remember when I said we should go? This would be that time! Saladin: We have no choice, there's too many of them. Let's go guardian! Guardian: Ghost, prep for transmat! Ghost: On it! *Splicers begin pouring into the cavern, you must fight your way out with the help of your fireteam: Saladin, Efrideet, and Shiro. Once out, you noticed The Hidden Swarm fighting against the Splicers* Ghost: I can't believe I'm saying this, but for once, I gotta thank the hive. *you transmat into your ship and fly out of there along with the rest of the fireteam*
