Listen everyone, this part is important... Now this is the law of the jungle... as old and as true as the sky... and the wolf that shall keep it may prosper... but the wolf that shall break it must die... As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk... the law runneth forward and back, For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf... is the pack...

(Centuries After The Collapse)
(Seattle WA, North America)

A Ghost wonders in the Deserted city once a place of culture on the West Coast filled with history of the Pacific Northwest. it scans on each skeleton to find his match until It notices one of the skeleton that is inside of a Jet Fighter that crash next to the Space Needle. it scans that skeleton then expands itself a bit to show the light within then lights up the area around it. all the sudden a young man gasped for air as he coughs rapidly then looks around confusingly.

???: "wha- what-?" then the Ghost floats right infront of him
?G: "hello there." He got spooked by the Ghost before it explains whats going on.
???: "what are you?"
?G: "don't panic im a Ghost... well im your Ghost now, and you been dead for a very long time." He crawled out of the jet look around his surroundings and behind him the destroyed city that is abandoned and covered with nature and wildlife.

???: "where im i... what happen here?"
?G: "you are in North America once called Seattle." a roar was heard from a far distance and they look around.
???: "what was that?"
?G: "we have to go... hang on." the Ghost then disappears leaving the man alone.
???: "hey where did you-?"
?G: "don't worry im still here, try to get out of here."
???: "where?"
?G: "just follow the marker... do you have a name?"
???: "my name... my name is..."

(Eight to Nine Years Later)

The Titan was came out of his Daydream sitting in front of the Pouka Pond and incents almost finish burning all the way.
Osiris: "Raiden, i know you hear me."
Raiden: " *sigh* what Osiris?"
Osiris: "get up, you have a mission to do." Interrupted by Osiris, The Guardian Sheath his Kukri then pick up his weapons and walk outside to Strider's Gate on a plaza where Nimbus sat on they'er hoverboard watching the Shadow Legion's deploy from The Typhon Imperator into The City of Neomuna of Neptune.

They all hoped taking down Emperor Calus would stop the him from taking the Veil. they did but he was only a decoy for the Witness to take control of his Ghost to deliver the Veil to the Witness to create a portal for itself and The Black Fleet to enter into the Traveler never to be seen again.
They try to figure out a way to enter the Portal by encountering Nezarec, God of Pain. Defeating him only silence his Nightmares for the people of Neomuna to Dream peacefully, for now...

Nimbus: "hey little dude how are you feeling?"
Dubs: "i still feel a bit sick but i will be fine for now."
Nimbus: "hey look at bright side Calus and Nezzy are dead."
Raiden: "you're not helping."
Nimbus: "maybe this will help take your anger on, Vex are up to something at the moment."
Raiden: "like what?" Osiris approach holding a Vex Goblin's head but it was different then any other Vex.
Raiden: "what is this?" Dublin came out and scanned the Goblin and was curious.
Dublin: "Carbon Exoskeleton with Tungsten body, seeing this i guess you didn't break a sweat."
Osiris: "if they cover their critical spots, Cotae and Nikolai are investigating the anomaly at Maya's Retreat combating them as we speak."
Raiden: "Tiana's not there?"
Osiris: "she is busy on Earth now go we can't waste time, they're waiting."
Raiden: "yeah, yeah fuck you too." They watch Raiden jump off and use Strand to Grapple his way to Maya's Retreat.
Nimbus: "wow."
Osiris: "yeah... ouch."

At Maya's Retreat Cotae the Warlock and Nikolai the Hunter secure the area from Vex with the Portal on the ground. they approach the edge to look down and the a portal open but idle with green lights
Niko: "is it safe to jump in?"
Cotae: "unless you want to land somewhere like Kansas then i won't stop you." Raiden lands next to Niko as he approach the hole.
Niko: "look who decided to show up, what took you so long?"
Raiden: "took a break from raiding Lost Sectors."
Cotae: "you're here just in time, Tungsten armored Vex... can we make something out of this?"
Raiden: "do what you wanna do, Ghost?"

His Ghost came out and scan The Minotaur that looked important.
Dubs: "we know now this are not from the Vault of Glass- wait..."
Raiden: "hm?"
Dubs: "it's dead but speaking... it is saying, "Trust me"?"
Niko: "wanna get Failsafe to translate this?"
Dubs: "hey im trying maybe check the rest and confirm."
The other Guardian's Ghosts and start scanning other Vex bodies which shown them the same results.
Tiko: "this one said the same thing."
Thatcher: "i don't like this place anymore."

They look around and saw the Hydra not blown up so they scan it and the results are the same but added more to the situation.
Dubs: "Guardian this one said "trust me" but something else... i can't translate but... "don't resist?"."
