A Resounding Truth | Encore: Overture | Echoes

Failsafe has overriden the Conductor's security measures and stands ready to guide the Guardian to her stronghold at the center of Nessus.
**
Ikora: Guardian. The Conductor has diverted the flow of radiolaria to the planet’s core.
Osiris: We know her goal. We must uncover her method.
//Several Shadow Legion ships arrive.
Osiris: It seems a contingent of Shadow Legion has taken interest in Sundaresh’s plans. To what end, and under whose command, we do not know. Outpace them.
//The Guardian delves deeper.
//MSUND12 CONNECTING…
//CONNECTED
I know you’re here
Osiris: I can only speculate as to the Shadow Legion’s motivations. We have seen allies… sublimated into the Vex network. It takes great strength of will to maintain a distinct identity within it. The Echo grants that strength of will. We have seen it firsthand in the Conductor’s presence.
Ikora: And we’ve stopped Psion incursions into the Nessus Vex Collective before. The Shadow Legion wants the same thing we do.
//A Vex module is required to cross the chasm.
The Guardian has retrieved Vex Module// CONNECTION
//INPUT ACCEPTED: ADDITIONAL INPUT REQUIRED
The Guardian has retrieved Vex Module// PARTITION
The Guardian has installed Vex Module// PARTITION
Nexus// ADYTUM BREACH DETECTED
What are you looking for?
A way to stop me?
To destroy my Collective?
To halt the future?
//DATA MARKED FOR DELETION
//The Guardian creates a connection pathway.
Osiris: Sundaresh is creating pluralities within the Vex minds, instigating individuality within her Collective.
Ikora: Until now, each Vex Collective was guided by one mind, acting in unison. Maya has turned a collective into a community.
Osiris: It makes them unpredictable. Our tactics must change accordingly.
//The Guardian pursues the Shadow Legion.
Osiris: This Vex Mind is acting as a caretaker for the planet’s core. An immune response to the Shadow Legion. Intriguing.
//CHORAL MIND FUNCTION: RETREAT
I survived the Collapse
I will survive you
Nexus// JUNGLE BREACH FAILURE
//VEX MODULE INPUT BLOCKED
//VEX MODULE INPUT RESTORED
Nexus// JUNGLE BREACH DETECTED
//The Guardian defeats Eexonios & Iziira, Pledged to Yirix
//DATA NODE VULNERABLE
Ikora: Ishtar buildings. Here? Are the Vex establishing facilities as reconstructions of Sundaresh’s memories? Taking comfort in the familiar, and forcing the Vex to give her what she needs. Sounds like Maya.
You come from a false future
You are nothing
An enemy of progress
Swaddled in ignorance
Raging against my command
I am Maya Sundaresh
I will recreate the past
I will create futures
//Access Degaussed Exomind
Maya Sundaresh: Fidelity test. What did we name our daughter?
Chioma Esi: W-What? Maya?
Maya Sundaresh: What did we name our daughter?
Chioma Esi: Where are you? What’s going on? Please… Maya
Maya Sundaresh: What did we name our daughter?
Chioma Esi: …Nisa.
Maya Sundaresh: Elaborate.
Chioma Esi: We… debated names for weeks. Parthenogenetic incubation was moving along fine in the lab. [takes sobbing breath] Then the Collapse. Everything happened so fast; we had to leave! We-
Maya Sundaresh: Answer latency beyond acceptable bounds. Degaussing Exomind.
Chioma Esi: NO!
Ikora: Osiris, I read your reports from Neptune. That was Chioma Esi… What did Maya do?
Osiris: She’s searching for something. Using Chioma as a baseline to find our Golden Age among the simulations.
Ikora: This is horrific.
Osiris: I’m afraid this is just the beginning.
//The Guardian reaches the planet's core.
Osiris: Sundaresh has amassed a formidable Vex force. F we can only delay her plans.
Ikora: Guardian. Take this opportunity to strike.
The Collapse was inevitable
But so am I
//DISCONNECTED
//CHORAL MIND FUNCTION: REPAIR
//Vex security exploit detected! Happy to help, Captain!
//Vex security disrupted! Have fun, Captain!
//CHORAL MIND FUNCTION: TARGET ACQUIRED
//CHORAL MIND FUNCTION: RETREAT
//SECURITY PROTOCOL ENGAGED
//The Guardian defeats Paradox, Choral Mind.
Osiris: Sundaresh is doing more than commanding the Vex. She’s taking control of an entire collective, and using radiolaria to search the Vex Simulation Network. Our Golden Age, in her understanding, must exist within it.
Ikora: And Chioma?
Osiris: A means to an end. A way to measure reality. A heart... weighed against a feather.
Ikora: Could Maya find what she’s looking for?
Osiris: I don’t know. That is not the question at the front of my mind. That question is only: What will happen if she does? Return to the H.E.L.M., Guardian. I need time to think about what we’ve found here.

Parodos. Greek. "side entrance to the stage or the first song that is sung by the chorus at the beginning of a greek tragedy." "It is an important part as it defined the chorus, provide information about the plot, and assist or fight the protagonist" "The parodos is highly commemorated in Athenian artifacts that show choral performance" hence the name. wiki is cool.

Dark. Bringing your dead wife back to life, making her relive the darkest memory of having to abandon her unborn child, and then immediately killing her… just to check your tech is calibrated

[@roberttheronin9803]

She's checking if it's her perfect version of her wife. Or the real version.
