Challenger's Proving III: Mission Briefing

Location: The H.E.L.M., The Last City

The Guardian approaches the War Table. A hologram of Lord Saladin appears.

Lord Saladin: You're needed back on Nessus, Guardian. As if their tank wasn't enough, now we have Psions tunneling into Vex territory. According to Crow, their leader is Ixel, the Far-Reaching. She's looking for something that will secure her a seat on the war council. Something that will impress, like Vex prediction engines. Whatever Ixel digs up could give Caiatl the winning edge. Or worse, simply unleash destruction on us all. Either outcome is to be avoided at all costs. Ensure they never try this again.

Saladin ends the transmission.
