1869778952 | | Blistering Slipstream | The afternoon sun waned over the outskirts of the Eliksni Quarter as Rem lay beneath the Sparrow, a veneer of grease coating her palms. The Titan rubbed the sweat from her brow and watched the young Eliksni beside her place the final piece.
The pair stood… |
1912669214 | | Centrifuse | Excerpts from a pre-Collapse report, logged by Dr. Khatun-Rowe, a researcher in the Engineering Division of the New Pacific Arcology, Titan:
Since Dr. Pell's breakthrough on methods of magnetic containment last year, we've successfully stabilized multipl… |
3890055324 | | Targeted Redaction | The neon-saturated skyline of Neomuna pops bright against the starry night sky. On a rooftop overlooking an empty, tree-lined plaza, Saint and Osiris sit in contemplative silence. They are making time for one another in the margins of their lives, pushing… |
3016891299 | | Different Times | At the base of the mesa, Lord Shaxx stands triumphant. Blood seeps into the grass at his feet as the Warlord before him, legs shattered, makes a feeble attempt to drag himself away.
"It's over," Shaxx decrees. "Bring out your Ghost."
The Warlord shakes h… |
2883484461 | | Until Its Return | Whatever their odds of success, the plan was sound. They each had their assignments. Sloane turned away to examine a projection of the lower sections of the Arcology. Zavala glanced over the first of the scouting reports.
Working alongside Deputy Comman… |
1769847435 | | A Distant Pull | Titan fell into darkness only moments before the first Tomb-craft arrived. They bore the burning sigils of War, dripping soulfire from their branded hulls as if it gushed from an open wound.
Beneath the churning sea, a Guardian Light wrapped in metal, y… |

4066778670 | | Thin Precipice | Kelgorath kneels before a feeble altar in an empty court. A dead Knight's realm. A shriveled, fleshless rind. A cautionary tale.
A Wizard floats over the altar. "The High Celebrant's domain was once a grand place of adoration. It holds a mighty tribute."… |
542573208 | | Last Rite | Caiatl and Saladin sit alone in the council chamber. Two metal bowls bearing the inscription, Perun, sit between them. Each holds a pile of small smooth stones that rattle along with the hum of the Eligos Lex V's engine.
Saladin rolls a stone in his fing… |
4005780578 | | Unexpected Resurgence | Shayura kneels in front of a gilded copper pot and the young bonsai rising from inside it. Tucked away in the soil are the vertically sliced fragments of a Ghost. The tree grows up around them, and where root and dirt meet, Shayura places a stick of lit in… |
1123421440 | | Epochal Integration | The Ishtar Collective's researchers knew no bounds: amidst a sea of their data, I found schematics for a weapon using the Veil's paracausal field as supplemental power. However, it appears the weapon project was abandoned early. I hoped I could finish what… |
3825487421 | | I. Debriefing | "Sloane?"
Commander Zavala's voice sounds distorted, as if he were underwater. The chill running down Sloane's spine only adds to the sensation.
She knows she had been gone for a while. For how long, she isn't sure— Síocháin's internal chronometer had gl… |
4017272394 | | Deepseeker Shell | "It seems intact," a voice chirps in the dark.
A Ghost and their Guardian sit in an idle jumpship orbiting Neptune. The swirling cerulean hemisphere dominates the cockpit's right field of view, the rest blanketed by the gulf of space, speckled with the r… |
1279846187 | | Síocháin's Scuba Shell | Ahsa settled from a long journey within an undersea cavern, pocketed by air. Síocháin surveyed the mix of ancient rig foundations and natural stone. It seemed quiet enough, and Sloane needed rest. No Hive barnacles grew there. Ahsa had swam far from the la… |
3321971888 | | Hero's Wake | "This above all else, I hold true."
Shayura finishes her prayer but does not rise. Her kneeling position faces the sky where the Traveler once hung over the Last City. Morning sunlight fills the white space of her quarters with a warmth she does not feel… |
3135336191 | | Akashic Revelation | Rosy light bathes the cockpit of a Hawk moving at cruising speed high above the Earth. Up ahead, the Traveler hangs motionless against the blackness of space, a triangular gateway of iridescent light bleeding from its shell.
It was one thing volunteering… |
426260446 | | Valiant Memory | "Whatever that thing is, we've gotta take it down!"
Amanda Holliday's voice crackles over the comms. Reed-7 glances at his Ghost, then pulls up alongside Holliday's Hawk and gives her a nod. He falls in behind her, with Shayura and Aisha following behind… |
1853085236 | | Pale Reflection | Eris Morn knows what she looks like. Her mirror holds nothing her memory cannot furnish for her—all that lives beneath the silvered surface of the glass is the uncanny. Still, she pulls away the cloth covering it and removes her bandage.
Eris looks into… |
2664281431 | | To Be Remembered | Each night, the clamor of the Tower Hangar gives way to silence as the engineers change shifts. Niik used to find the lull unnerving, preferring to bask in the sounds of arc welders and power tools. Together, she and Amanda would speak about nothing and ev… |
967777908 | | Survivor's Journey | The engine of Aisha's Sparrow winds down to a steady thrum as she eases off the accelerator. The pine forest around her feels empty, still. The only noise is the creak and groan of the Arcology superstructure. Methane rain falls through the shattered dome… |

The lettering on Sloane's HUD clarified into vision. She dragged a hand through methane fluid to her faceplate, absentmindedly trying to rub the grogginess from her eyes.

2213223388 | | NPA "Weir-Walker" Jacket | Sloane deftly maneuvered across the open ocean floor. Together with her Ghost, she'd chased the Pyramid's signals across Titan, but arrived too late at each coordinate site. They'd encountered nothing more than further wounds in the fabric of reality; sliv… |
3499056977 | | NPA "Weir-Walker" Cloak | Sloane knelt, unable to stand. All the weight of Titan's ocean around her was nothing compared to the pressure of Xivu Arath's will pinning her down.
A horde of gnashing Hive bore lipless smiles around a single Taken Knight. He stood tall before her, br… |
3332065301 | | NPA "Weir-Walker" Hood | Titan's Pyramid dragged hurricanes across the sky like chained gods.
Deputy Commander Sloane had seen faint lightning flash from deep beneath the Arcology dome—timed prior strikes and their thunder to judge the storm's movement. But as she walked outside… |
3513993870 | | NPA "Weir-Walker" Strides | "There's nothing to hide behind!" Sloane laughed sardonically over comms, annoyance building in her voice. She made a point of spinning in the empty, expansive ocean, exoskeleton-encased arms out wide, before turning to her Ghost. They'd been walking throu… |
3093309525 | | Triton Vice | "What… are you wearing?"
"These are the grasping pincers of Titan's apex predator! Replicated in miniature, of course. I'm sure the real thing would tower over us."
"I've read Pahanin's treatise on cephalopods—"
"No, not squids. Crabs, obviously!… |

90009855 | | Arbor Warden | Emreth is tangling with the last Hive Acolyte when he sees the canister, wedged between two unidentifiable heaps of machinery. He can only read some of the letters stamped into its surface: H Y D R O P.
And there it is, barely visible under the glass: a… |
