The Cosmodrome, Prologue
"Screw you Thalia!" I heard Serenity shout as I saw my sparrow splash some mud on her cloak when I drove by. She really likes that cloak. Maybe an unhealthy amount...
I should introduce myself. Thalia Barlow, Titan of the Last City, Sunbreaker Order. I'm a hero, apparently. I killed Oryx, captured Skolas, avenged Eris's team, and stopped SIVA. You know how stressful It is being constantly worried you'll let everyone down and they'll never look up to you again? It sucks. THIS is why Guardians need some way to vent other than each other, but I'm rambling.
"Why're we even here?" I heard my Hunter friend ask.
"Well, if you really don't remember, Zavala wants us to search for any Fallen presence still remaining and deal with them." Sara, our Warlock said, as she looked over a dusty old book she found in a sealed room.
"Yeah, what Sara said." I replied, sighing. My team can be a headache, but they're fun, you know? They complete me, in some way. Serenity offers much needed humor, and despite her high number of resets(33!), is still a crack shot with a sniper.
Sara is our genius. Somehow makes her ghost feel stupid, which is interesting. I'm just their leader.
"GET TO IT MAGGOTS!" My Ghost, Sarge, screamed. "We got drills to run! HUT TWO THREE FOUR HUT TWO THREE FOUR!"
"Sarge, be nice." I warned.
"Fine. NOW HOP TO IT!"
The three of us made our way to King's Watch, an old House of Kings hideout, and the last place we encountered Fallen in the last few weeks. everything was abandoned for some reason. Devil spire, the Plaguelands, the Forgotten Shore, the Mothyards, everything. Just...empty. It's weird. Maybe we finally broke them.
Anyway, it doesn't take long to reach Kings Watch, though we do have to dig It out of the snow. We soon head inside
Inside, the place is a mess. Piles upon piles of torn banners and armor of the Fallen House of Kings scattered about. Destroyed Shanks, and shattered Servitors corrupted with SIVA, their lights pulsating, as if they weren't really dead, but sleeping. As we move further in, we start finding bodies of House Devils. As if they tried to force their way in and kill the Kings, but judging by the lack of House Kings bodies, either the Kings took their dead, or the Devils didn't kill anyone. Deep inside, in the control center, we find a lot more bodies, and even a skiff that crashed into the roof, sheared in half by something, likely flak fire, or just rust and age.
"Sarge, contact Zavala, tell him there's nothing here."
"Aye aye, Thalia."
"Commander Zavala, this is the Ghost Sarge, of Fireteam Archimedes. The last Fallen hideout is empty. The Cosmodrome is secure."
"Excellent." I hear Zavala say. "Return to the Tower, we'll have a reward waiting. Zavala out."
"Team, let's get moving." I order, as we head outside and return to our ships.
