Strike 3 Part 1- The Timeless
This strike takes place on Mars
"The Nothing. Since your excursion there nothing related to it has reared its head. Until now. A Vex construct with the same signature as the portal to The Nothing in Hyperborea has materialized near The Hollows. You must find more about The Nothing. The future depends on it."- Ikora
You spawn in The Hallows.
"Zavala will not be happy about this. He wants all forces focused on the Insurgents. We must do this quickly. It is ahead."- Ikora
Ahead of you is a Legion of Cabal fighting off a Vex construction from Sol Sacuela called Uure, Kinetic Mind. It is unlike any Vex seen yet. It looks sort of like a large, Vex heavy pike that shoots Cryo blasts from the front. It is a lot larger.
"There it is! Capture it!"- Ikora
It sees you, and drives away, towards the The Buried City You get on your Sparrow and chase it.
The chase goes all the way through the Buried City to the Freehold Station and Tharsis Junction. Once you reach where the Black Garden meets with the tunnels, Uure stops to fight you and Vex (not Sol Sacuela) pour through the gates.
You kill him, and the Vex despawn.
"Get its processor. It may hold the secrets to The Nothing."- Ikora
You scan the wreckage.
"The commands in this thing seem to trace back to a gate in the Garden. I'll put it on your map."- Ghost
"Ikora! What is going on? What are you doing?"- Zavala
"Hold on. I didn't hear you. What did you say?"- Ikora to Zavala
"Quick! Go! Find that gate! I'll page... Cayde. Tell him what you are doing. He'll guide you. I must go."- Ikora to you
"Ikora! Come here now! What is going on?!"- Zavala
"Um... ok. While Ikora is preoccupied with the wrath of Zavala, let's get to that gate."- Ghost
You go through that path to The Garden. There is a path of frozen ground to follow. There are Sol Divisive on the way.
Once you reach that first view that overlooks the Garden, Cayde-6 gets on.
"Hola. Ikora told me what she was having you do. Very unlike her to go behind Zavala's back. She must think this is really important. Get to it."- Cayde
You go through the pathway that led you to the Undying Mind. The Sol Divisive change abruptly to Sol Saecula.
"You know Ikora is a real kiss a... Um. Up. Kiss up. That's what I meant. Anyways, she wouldn't send you here unless she believed it could really help us."- Cayde
As you go down the path that leads to the area where you fought the Undying Mind, the Vex became stronger and more abundant. The ice trail seems to grow and get wider, slowly consuming the walls and ceiling.
Once you reach the room where you killed The Undying Mind, your destination is the portal in the back of the room. Your Ghost says,
"There! That is where the signal is coming from!"- Ghost
"Um... isn't that where that Undying Mind came from?"- Cayde
"Yup"- Ghost
Below you is the destroyed remains of The Undying Mind. It, as well as the rest of the room is completely frozen over. Icicles hanging from the ceiling and slippery floor. In the center, in front of the gate is a Timeless Cyclops of Sol Saecula. It is like a normal Cyclops, but has a more Sol Saecula design and color scheme and it shoots Cryo blasts rather than Void. That wall goes up so you can't leave the room. Anybody behind it is teleported to the room.
You proceed to fight the Timeless Cyclops. Once that, as well as all of the adds are dead, the portal opens.
"Should we go through?"- Ghost
The portal then begins sucking up the contents of the room, first the ammo and Vex add scraps, then the remains of the Cyclops, and then the the Undying Mind's remnants.
"Looks like you don't get to choose! Come back safe!"- Cayde
As he says this you get sucked in.
