Legacy's Lament

JUNE3/10:43AM The walls are shaking again. Like thunder. I wonder how deep they've gotten now? Good thing we're so far in. This room was meant to hold. Too thick to breach, supposedly. We'll see if it crumbles under the weight of the Vex. "You're worried…

MAY19/5:00AM Another day, another Forage into 2082 Volantis. It's always the same. Every time, we enter into the Glassway where the portal resides. Defensive protocols go into effect. Portal gets activated. We take out any Vex that come through, then Dr.…

JUNE3/2:12PM Haven't been here in a while. Had me working on that satellite dish last time. "Where are we?" the new Exo asks. He always has so many questions. Fine, I'll bite. "Charon's Crossing. Main comms station for Eventide to connect with the rest of…

JUNE3/5:01PM Elsie, er, I mean, Dr. Bray just arrived with some bad news: the Clovis AI is sending the Vex off-world. She's got a plan to stop it but won't pull the trigger until we're all safe. I admire her. We had some bad news of our own to give in…

JUNE3/9:34PM Can't believe we're back at Eventide. The place is in ruins. Sad to see it this way. But I need to get off Europa. Rumor is Dr. Bray's going to blow up the whole place. "Evac ship's in sight at 11 o'clock." Thanks for the callout, nameless Exo.…

MAY19/8:00AM Something's happened. They won't tell us what just yet. But Elisabeth Bray is here now, looking beaten up. "Wake him up," she demands. Wake him up? He's practically dead. "Are you okay, Dr. Bray? You don't look so good," I say. "Una. Wake him…

JUNE3/9:45PM *Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* The ringing… It's starting to even out. I get back to my feet. Our evac ship… It's gone. The AI destroyed it. Nearly killed us all in the process. In fact, I think he got some of us… He did. Oh god. Hector… He's…

JUNE4/1:05AM So the AI doesn't care if we live or die. Okay, then. Let's take matters into our own hands. It's hard to stay quiet with all of us packed into Clovis's office. Didn't get here without a fight, though. Even the secret tunnel we snuck through…

JUNE4/6:00AM We storm Europa with everything we have. I've never seen anything like it. His strength, agility—unmatched. Vex after Vex, sliced through like butter, that Sword of his wailing like a banshee seeking vengeance, carrying the weight of thousands…

JUNE13/3:46PM "So it's come to this," I say, trying to be cheeky. "Come to what?" Elsie asks. "I didn't bring you back to Exoscience just to take a stroll through a snowstorm," I say. She laughs. "No, I didn't think you did." "I have a gift for you.…
