It's been three days since City Hawk 723 returned to the Frontier, and since a Ghost brought back Michael's old friend, Dane Smithsonian.
Today, Michael was giving him a tour of the locations the Guardians have been going through for a long time. "Trust me, Dane. It's imperative that you know these places when heading out. After all, I know my way around these locations." Their first stop was the Cosmodrome.
Planet Earth - Old Russia
The Steppes
Music
Destiny - The Journey Home
"Here we are. The old Russian Cosmodrome. Here, you'll see either Fallen or Hive. Got any idea what they are?" Michael asked.
"I've been reading up on them, so yes, I do know about them."
A Vanguard-class, chassis number: DF-3158. "[Environmental awareness and the knowledge of your surroundings can prove to work in your favor if applied correctly.]"
"DF's right about that, Dane." Suddenly, DF-3158 took a shot at something. A Vandal was his target. "That was a-"
"A Fallen Vandal. Looks like we've got a few Dregs as well."
"Yeah. Next stop, the moon."

"I always wanted to go to the moon, but this isn't how I imagined it."
Michael nodded. "Well, there is that."
"According to what I've read, the Houses of Devils and Kings and the Blood of Oryx reside on Earth. The House of Exile, the Blood of Oryx, the Spawn of Crota, and the Hidden Swarm reside here on the moon, so we gotta be careful here."
"You're good."
A Fallen Vandal came into view, but DF-3158 took it out with a missile. "Next up is Venus, right?"
"Close, but no. Mars."

Planet Mars - Meridian Bay

Destiny - Exclusion Zone
"Mars looks interesting. Hmm... The Cabal Siege Dancers, Sand Eaters, Ice Reapers, Dust Giants, and Blind Legion, along with the Vex Virgo Prohibition."

DF-3158 then proceeded to snipe down a Cabal Psion with the Plasma Railgun. One shot. One kill. "Nice shot."
"Your new partner has some impressive accuracy, like Jeeves."
"[Venus?]"
Michael nodded. "Venus."

Destiny - Ishtar Sink
"The Fallen House of Winter resides here. As do the Vex Virgo Prohibition, Hezen Protective, and Hezen Corrective."
Michael's eyes widened. "Impressive."
Just then, DF-3158 shot a Fallen Shank. "I think that's everything, don't you?"
"No, because there's still the Dreadnaught."
"The what?"

The Dreadnaught
Hull Breach
Music
Destiny - The Dreadnaught
"This is the Dreadnaught." Michael outstretched his arms, gesturing to the commandeered Hive Dreadnaught now owned by the Shadow.
"I gotta admit, this place creeps me out."
"You haven't seen nothin' yet." Michael turned the Yin Yang Switch, letting out the Shadow.

The Yin Yang Switch was turned again, and Michael was back. "Death is actually quite impressed."
"I suppose he is."
DF-3158 then proceeded to shoot down a few Legionaries with the Plasma Railgun, showing off some impressive accuracy.

"Well now. Are you already done with the tour?" Cayde-6 asked.
"Yeah, we just finished." Michael stated.
"I think I'm ready to figure out what kind of Guardian I am, don't you?"
"Good luck, my friend."

Dane's been given a tour of the Destiny 1 areas, but we most likely won't see those for a while.
You probably know what I mean.
Also, Dane's a Hunter.
See you next time, boys and girls.
