Arizona caught up with Ikora inside of the pyramid on Mars. Inside, it was huge, and she was amazed at the artifact inside. Ikora nodded her over, and she ran to stand behind Ikora as she set the worm on the relic.

"What is this?" Arizona asked, bewildered that the pyramids held such grand space.

"Do you remember the artifact you brought back from your first mission?"

Arizona nodded. "Vaguely."

"It recreated the object into a sword. I think I can extract the worm's memories with it too."

"Why ask me here? I thought I…?" Arizona dreaded reminding her now that she was in the pyramid. Somewhere in the echoes she thought she could hear a voice beckoning her further inside.

Ikora's lips twitched upward ever so slightly. "We have work to do."

The pendulum swung around, inside of a large rotating rock perfectly in sync, and then the worm began to move, and it flashed back to being calcified, and then it moved again. Ikora slowly moved her hands to hover over it, and a blue mist came from the being. The pendulum swung over Ikora, and she flinched as if she had been bitten.

"Is it…rejecting the worm?"

"No," she tried again. The pendulum glowed a bright gold, and swung faster and faster and faster and….it stopped over the worm. The whole pyramid in a blue light that pulsed once from the relic, and Ikora turned around. Behind Arizona there was the sound of rushing water, as if they were near a lake. She turned to follow Ikora's gaze, at a tiny island with large, unscalable mountains. The ground beneath her had transformed into water, but they moved toward the island at a steady speed.

"These frail siblings," It sounded like a million voices spoke at once, both male and female, adult and child, "will soon be claimed by the Light." There was a tall creature, at the deepest end of the waters, and a smaller creature, but menacing nonetheless, and on the shore, was a third, holding a worm. They looked like the Hive gods. "Unless we claim them first. We will tell the most cunning sibling of a cataclysm. A prophecy of great loss. We will feed her fear. Her pride. We will say…Young Sathona, the end is coming. A great cataclysm. A god-wave."

"Look to the sky." A voice whispered. Arizona looked up at the greying sky. The Traveler was the only thing not tainted by the gloomy colors that surrounded them. She pointed, "Ikora…it's the Traveler."

Ikora's eyes widened.

"In the sky, there is only death. But salvation…lies in the Deep…in the deep." The voices began to come out of sync, but only barely, the last being barely below a whisper. "Lead your sisters down. Your cunning will spare their short lives. And you will be reborn…the Witch Queen…Savathun."

"They were tricked," Ikora whispered. "The Hive were lied to."

"How does this help us, though?" Arizona looked at Ikora as the picture around them disappeared, and they were back in the Pyramid.

"I don't know. Call the others in your fireteam quickly, we need to move fast."

"Wait, Ikora, there's something else!" Arizona took a deep breath, she needed to look Ikora in the eyes when she says this, but everything also told her to pull away, "I…I was Maria…wasn't I?"

Ikora stared at her. "What makes you say that?"

"Because I was in-no Maria was in Savathun's memory. If Savathun knew her, Osiris definitely did. Ghost knew her well. You must have. So tell me, was my name Maria?"

Ikora began to walk away. Arizona followed. "That's up to you."

"What does that mean?"

"We don't have a lot of time," she stopped at the last step and looked down on her. "Who you were before does not matter."

"It does matter! This investigation could've been compromised from the start! Maria was one of Osiris's allies, one of his friends, Ikora. When Savathun became Osiris…she got close to her too."

"No, it doesn't matter who you were. It changes nothing…but…you should answer the question: Who are you now?"

"What do you mean?"

Ikora smiled, "You're smart, I think you'll figure it out. Now, call the fireteam. We must move fast. This Maria discussion is over." She turned back around and walked up the hill.
