[b][u]ATTENTION: This chapter takes place at the time of the lore book the Dark Future. It contains spoilers if you have not read it.[/u][/b] //BREACH//FILE MEMORY: UNKNOWN//TRANSMISSION LOCATION: UNKNOWN// TIME SENT: U6$#P0;//ERROR// Coldblood told me I should leave this message behind. So whoever finds it knows the truth. So let me get this straight; it was all me. I did everything without you realizing it. You probably hate me but when I'm done, you'll thank me for it. All of you will. //ERROR//ERROR//ERRO- The Tower is destroyed. It's one dazzling beacon of hope is replaced by a dark pyramid looming overhead. When Eramis, Savathûn, and the Cabal attacked nothing was stopping them. We lost some of our greatest warriors. Ikora is dead. Zavala's practically dead, not having the courage to take back the city. Now he just sits next to the remains of the Tower most of the time, surrounded by grief, and pain. He didn't even notice me sneak past him. I walk straight down the street; what remains of it anyway. There's nobody left here anyway. Most people try to stay as far away from here as they can, but all I see is opportunity. "You know, there's a reason no one comes here." Coldblood, my ghost floats closer to me. "Exactly, more Glimmer for us!" I laugh, and that seems to calm him down. For now at least. Everyone who survived left in a panic and went into hiding. The Traveller called back its Ghosts but mine stayed loyal to me. I turn the corner when I hear a man talking. "You came to the wrong place," a man says just down the street. Guess I'm not the only one here. I cover myself behind a wall of one of the better conditioned buildings. Coldblood appears at my shoulder looking around the corner. "Get back!" I hiss, swating at his shell, and he reluctantly floats back to me. I take a quick look across the wall, and then poke my head back quickly. Elisabeth and Ana Bray. Some Exo I haven't seen before and… Zavala. "We have a plan to take down Savathûn. We need to speak with Ikora Rey. Is she here?" Elisabeth asks. I frown, wondering how they don't know that she's dead. Not only that but a plan to take down Savathûn? They still have hope after all this destruction. Zavala answers with shocked expressions from the Brays in return. The other Exo remains emotionless. Must be newer, although I didn't know they were still making them. I look down at my worn metallic hands. I always wondered how the Exos were made. I decide to follow them out of curiosity, and to hear about their plan to take down the Witch Queen. I quickly turn invisible (the Void class truly is useful for a thief) and follow behind. "You're a coward!" Ana yells at him, and I wince. Even in the condition he's in that's a big mistake. They continue talking for a while (mainly bickering). They mention the Black Heart and Coldblood shivers. I've read about it in some of the classified Vanguard reports. They say that's where the Dark Guardians started coming from. "Who's the other Exo?" Zavala asks, staring at him as if he can see straight into him. Good question, I'd like to know that too. The Exo speaks in russian I can't understand, however Coldblood gladly translates. "That's the Warmind! How did they upload him into an Exo?" He whispers in my ear. "I have no idea...but do you realize how much he's worth?" Excitement builds in my voice. "Knock it off Alistair. You can't steal the Warmind!" He hisses at me. I sigh; Coldbloods no fun. "-she is only a pawn." Zavala continues. Must be talking about Savathûn but who could control her? "Meaning what?" Elisabeth asks. "You want the real Witch-you want Eris Morn." I can't believe it. Eris Morn is the cause of this? I follow them to the remains of the Almighty. Zavala's home.  I still remember the Almighty, as soon as the Red Legion arrived, the alarms sounded and the Warmind who is standing just a few feet away from me, shot it down from the sky, before it entered the city. I find myself dazing away until I hear their plan. "Did you just hear what I heard?" I whisper to my ghost. "You heard it right. They're going to capture the Traveller." //TIME BETWEEN MESSAGE: 4 DAYS// LOCATION: LEVIATHAN// I snuck on their ship, just before they departed. My invisibility began to wear off, so I had to hide in cargo space at the bottom, like a stowaway on a spaceship. Oh, wait, that's exactly what I am. I need to know their whole plan, and they're all keeping secrets from each other. Sometimes I feel like screaming at them to just talk to each other, but Coldblood quickly calms me down. They're following the last signal sent by Mara Sov. Oryx had long ago left the ship in search of Savathûn. He must have not made it or else we'd all be dead. His son Crota is still in the Throne World and Oryx was looking for help from Savathûn to awake him. I walk quietly down the hall, my feet making no sound, despite being metal. Let's just say I've had lots of practice. I decided to start with Elisabeth Bray; she survived the collapse so she has some other information I'm interested in. Not to mention Exos are the easiest to steal memories anyway. Next I'm going after Rasputin out of curiosity of what it would be like to see an AIs memories. I pull out my gun: a grey and black hand cannon. An Awoken forged it between light and darkness. I call it Twilight.  I open the door silently using techniques I learned myself. I need to remember to thank Zavala for oiling the doors. Elisabeth sits down on her bed, which is unnecessary for Exos, but I know from experience that it makes you feel more human. She looks up and her eyes widen (as much as they can) and her arms go icey. Stasis. I create a sound bubble around us; another useful trick for a thief, as she throws a dagger of ice at me. I catch it making a small cut on my finger and my hand starts to freeze. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" She demands as she raises her arms, now completely covered in dark ice. "I heard about your plan, and I wanted to know more. How exactly do you plan on killing the Witch Queen?" I say as my ghost appears beside me. "You're a Guardian… I thought they were all dead or lost their light." "Yeah, well, the Bombardment was suicide so I didn't go. Now back to you. What is your plan?" I say, wary of Stasis. If I go fast she won't be able to hit me. "And why should I tell you?" She says not moving, eyes locked on mine. "You see, it wasn't really an option." I lunge and she throws a dagger knocking my shoulder. I press my hand against her forehead, and a colossal wave of data engulfs me. I see Elisabeth in the BrayTech facility, giving Ana a Scout Rifle to make her feel a part of their family. I see Elisabeth with her siblings as she watches her father tear himself apart while trying to be uploaded as an Exo. I see Elisabeth with Banshee-44 fighting a horde of Vex. I see Elisabeth killing Ana after she killed Mara Sov. Wait a second… I check the time. 2 days from now. That's not possible. I see Elisabeth letting Ana kill her. I see Elisabeth joining Ana with Eris Morn. I see Elisabeth killing Eris. All of them are at the same time, two days from now. I realize what this means. It's a time loop. Elisabeth Bray has us all trapped in a time loop. I have to stop her. I release my hand and the wave of data stops. "What did you do!?" Elisabeth yells throwing dagger after dagger at me. I turn invisible and jump to the side before they hit me. "Sorry, but you can't remember this meeting. I need that memory." I place my hand on her forehead again and take this conversation from her mind. Coldblood obediently disintegrates the ice all over the room, so she's not confused as to where it came from. When we finish, Elisabeth looks confused for a moment, but then a knock sounds at the door. "Got a minute?" Ana asks from outside the door. When she opens it I use that as my cue to sneak out. I need to stop this. I need to save us. [b]The whole post didn't fit. The remaining parts will be in the comments.[/b]
