Quest: The Tyrant, The Lie
Location: Seraph Bunker: The Moon, Ocean of Storms, The Moon
The Guardian investigates Rasputin's hologram of Felwinter and Felspring.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: He's telling a story. In a time of great prosperity, a tyrant king sent his son to live among the people and learn their ways.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: He did so for many years, until a great calamity befell the kingdom.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: In the aftermath, the tyrant's son was changed.
The Guardian heads deeper into the bunker. Rasputin displays another hologram of Felwinter being attacked by a Frame.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: The tyrant's son turned away from his father, and became a warrior.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: The tyrant chased his son across fields and mountains and oceans.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: He said, "If I can't have my son, then no one shall."
Rasputin displays another hologram of Felwinter being attacked by SIVA nanites.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: In the end, the tyrant used his son's love of the people against him.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: He promised him a miraculous technology that could rebuild the kingdom.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: When his son came to claim it, he unleashed a plague upon him. His son was destroyed.
Rasputin: [Rasputin speaks]
Ana Bray: And the tyrant looked upon his tyranny and wept.
A hidden entrance opens. The Guardian heads deeper into the bunker.
Location: Seraph Berth, Ocean of Storms, The Moon
Ana Bray: Is Rasputin… is he talking about himself? I think the tyrant's son…
Ana Bray's comm channel cuts out. The Guardians reaches a secret room and finds a sarcophagus containing a hologram of Felwinter and his shotgun. The Guardian examines the shotgun and receives Felwinter's Lie.
Ghost uses a comm station to reestablish contact with Ana Bray.
Ana Bray: Guardian? Can you read me? There you are. Comms cut out completely. You're in a really old part of the bunker. The signal's terrible. This place is like a time capsule. Where are we?
Ghost scans the Seraph casing.
Ana Bray: This looks like the casing of an old safety AI. But marked with Rasputin's symbol. These transcripts suggest his original code was for… a sort of emergency response system from pre-Golden Age space stations. Checking oxygen levels, fuel, that kind of thing. Clovis Bray took a safety AI and turned it into an interplanetary defense system. With sentience. And Rasputin kept all this. Almost like a scrapbook of his past. A way to remember his roots. And he showed it to us. When did he learn to be so sentimental? Wish Zavala could see this.
