865855100 | | Wayfinder's Compass | [Cimmerian Garrison]
Borrowed a Wayfinder's Compass. It keeps leading me to places that are almost familiar. But there are missing pieces. I tell Glint I feel drawn here when he asks. I know he doesn't buy it, but he doesn't want to call me a liar. It's pr… |
3761898871 | | Lorentz Driver | "What about this rifle?" Skorso asks over the sound of two Brigs moving cargo. Her overseer, a three-armed Vandal named Piiksi, pulls back the drop-cloth covering it. He takes a moment to assess the way the rifle is pieced together from non-weapon componen… |
1076810832 | | Forge's Pledge | Iron Lord Saladin Forge is not a man to be fooled with.
If you make a joke at his expense, you had best hope he laughs when he hears it—and he never laughs.
Iron Lord Saladin Forge is not a man to be slighted.

829330711 | | Peacebond | Each passing moment is marked by the click of an analog timer on the wall.
When the pressure gauge reaches 100 percent, the timer releases a final click and the airlock doors grind open in the hangar bay. Lord Saladin tucks his helmet under his arm and ma… |
1028582252 | | The Comedian | Zavala stared dully at the papers on his desk.
Reports splayed out in front of him: Sightings of Osiris moving toward the Dreaming City. Dispatches for Saint-14 and Crow. Reams of dire investigations from Ikora.
On page after page, the name "Osiris" jump… |
4255171531 | | The Hothead | Zavala swung off his Sparrow in a rocky gulch near the EDZ. Across the wash, a Cabal Legionary leaned next to a small shuttle. A Psion stood at attention nearby.
"You Zavala?" the Legionary called.
Zavala tried not to feel slighted. "I am Commander Zaval… |
725408022 | | Ascendancy | Petra Venj was hunched over her workbench, reassembling a rocket launcher, when an odor prompted her to raise her head. The acrid smell lurked just beneath the gun oil and textured rubber. It was familiar but forbidding, like an uninvited memory.
She foll… |
1622998472 | | Vulpecula | Empress Caiatl brooded over a holographic display of the Dreaming City. The map was marked with bombardment targets, landing zones, and forward operating bases, which had been decided by an emergency convention of her military advisors. Now all that remain… |
2066434718 | | Canis Major | Petra Venj and Ylaia sat together in a courtyard as the waning dusk of the Dreaming City settled in around them.
"I began the training first," Petra explained, "but I found it—difficult. It didn't come naturally to me. Not like this." She nodded toward th… |
3044460004 | | Iota Draconis | Sjari's eyes snapped open as the telltale sizzle of a fusion rifle pierced the miasma of the Ascendant Plane.
The Techeun had been sitting against the same crumbling wall for over two weeks as an unrelenting sludgy river of grey fog flowed past her, the d… |
3472875143 | | Wolftone Draw | The slithering dark is cold against my face.
I cannot speak, cannot breathe, I reach for Sagira but then I remember… I form a fist but feel nothing, I am bound, and as I thrash the images cut fissures through my mind—
Someone… the Awoken prince? He helps… |
1337707096 | | Chrysura Melo | There's a saying among con artists: "Half the fun is showing the mark which cup hid the ball before you take their money."
Savathûn understands. In her crystalline prison, she reflects on all her surreptitious winks and little nods. The risks taken and t… |
3184681056 | | Fractethyst | Amanda Holliday finished welding the new fluid catch to the underside of the Ether tanks with a satisfied grunt. She wriggled her way backwards into the corridor and bumped into the legs of the massive Eliksni who was crouched behind her.
"Mithrax!" she s… |
1399243961 | | Reed's Regret | A ceiling light flickers to life with a buzzing click, radiating a florescent pink glow. Moths scatter among the racks of weapons mounted on the walls.
Reed-7 ducks into the room, barely able to shut the door behind him. The space is little more than a cl… |
2786418831 | | I - Ambush | Caiatl stands on the bridge of her flagship, six destroyer-class warcraft at her flanks. Weeks of intelligence and a handful of dead spies have brought her to a single point in space. This moment of opportunity.

2957532337 | | Pathfinder's Helmet | NEW COVEN - I
Petra stood at the bordering cliff's edge of the Divalian Mists, wrapped in a concealing vapor. Beside her, Illyn, Techeun Coven Mother. A deluge of water spewed from deep within the stone below; gentle tremors rippled through their bodies w… |
1049436160 | | Pathfinder's Tunic | DURESS - III
Sjari shifted on the wooden operating table. Why must she be the first?
She probed the jelly-like substance smeared across her forehead as Elder Kalli entered the room.

1728089788 | | No Backup Plans | Austyn is thrown out of the ley line onto a piece of flat stone no bigger than a banquet table. High walls rise on all sides—an impossible place, a hiccup in the ascendant energies.

3056839495 | | Reefborn Warbird | Petra pressed her hand to a tall ivory door. She could hear Mara Sov's speaking to the Guardian as if the Awoken weren't in desperate need of assistance. As if the kingdom was standing and resplendent, the Ley Lines unpolluted by Hive and Taken rot. The t… |
493679463 | | Eternal Recurrence | Petra Venj found Jolyon on the range, as she'd expected. A lone figure, lying face down on the ridgeline, sighting a barely visible target on the far side of the ravine.
