When used together it will grant an immunity shield for 30 seconds for every orange bar enemy you kill. You have to kill them with the sword or a melee though.
Script
[b]Ikora Rey[/b] - A rogue Vex Mind has made its home in the Antarctic wastes. It could be attempting to start the conversion process on Earth. We cannot let this happen.
[b]Cayde-6[/b] - The Mind's also got every race this side of the Solar System in a tizzy, so be careful down there.
You spawn a few kilometers away from the Vex structure, you can see fighting in the distance. Taken rifts appearing in the sky, Cabal warships and Fallen Ketches fighting. It's chaos. In front of you is a long canyon and Heavy Pikes.
[b]Ghost[/b] - So, what do you mean by "rogue" Vex Mind?
[b]IR[/b] - This mind was recently converted and was messed with in the middle of it. Something tried to take it, but it was too soon. It did, however, leave lasting damage to its connection with the rest of the Collective.
[b]C6[/b] - The mind also goes by an interesting name,. "Archival Mind"... why does that sound familiar?
[b]G[/b] - Well, there was another Archival Mind.
[b]C6[/b] - Where?
[b]IR[/b] - The bigger question is why would the Vex have the need for 2 of the same Mind? Unless...
You come across a large open snowy area. It's a blizzard out here. Suddenly a Cabal Carrier crashes into the far side of the area. Interceptors and Pikes are everywhere, Taken holding their ground and trying to avoid being rammed. This area is similar to Quarantine Zone from Halo 2... have fun!
You get passed the first warzone and enter another canyon.
[b]IR[/b] - Was the first Archival Mind destroyed? In the Forest?
[b]G[/b] - Yes it was.
[b]C6[/b] - What are you guys-
[b]IR[/b] - Then this one must've been made to replace it.
[b]G[/b] - Since it's rogue I'm sure that worked well...
[b]IR [/b]- Doesn't matter, it could still have access to all of the documents left behind. We have to destroy it!
You come across the second Warzone and your first boss, [b]Servisius, Taken Archon[/b]. In the left corner of the screen, the text reads "[i]Servisius makes this an even fight[/i]" and every vehicle on the map disappears, killing the drivers. This is not a Darkness zone, so you can respawn.
When you respawn, THEN it becomes a Darkness zone (fooled). Just kill Servisius to move on (shouldn't be too hard, it's just an Archon). The door behind him is the entrance to the Vex structure. You walk through twisting corridors and eventually come across a large Pyramidion-like area. At the bottom you see a large cylindrical structure. You have to get there.
[b]C6[/b] - So, Zavala just told me that we have been missing a Guardian for a few days now, the hospital said he was turning into a Vex, like Asher.
[b]IR[/b] - That must be it... the timeline adds up.
[b]C6[/b] - Should we still continue with the operation?
[b]IR[/b] - We have to, who knows where the Mind's allegiance is now and to who?
[b]G[/b] - Where's its Ghost?
*Zavala chimes in*
[b]Z[/b] - The Guardian in question lost his Ghost during our... evacuation to Titan. Only he and Hive know the rest of that story...
[b]G[/b] - Oh...
You come across a deactivated portal. You walk up to scan it but no prompt comes up and suddenly a Ketch crashes into the structure. Its hull is laid in a way that you can walk across it to the next area.
The next area is another shoot 'em up one, full of Taken and Cabal now.
You exit and go through more hallways until you find yourself inside the cylindrical structure labeled, [b]The Archive[/b]. On top is a large hologram that's constantly changing shape. Sometimes it looks like the Dreadnaught and other times it looks like Jupiter. Other times it's just a hologram of a Fallen Dreg. Below the hologram is a module, take it out to spawn the boss.
[b]G[/b] - Here goes nothing...
Archival Mind phase 1:

The Mind spawns with a laser axe on its right arm. You have four columns to run around because the Mind will chase you, and fast. If you hide behind cover, its swing will destroy the column, but if you're crouching you should be fine.
Get him down to a third to move on to the next phase.
Phase 2:

It now has a shield that it can produce with its left hand. A diamond shaped shield will block any attack. A triangle shaped shield will reflect a projectiles back at you. Its axe now changes to a sword. It is now much more agile and will even jump around as much as it can. It WILL protect its core. You have to take it down to another third by shooting its back... it doesn't have a weakspot there.
Phase 3:

The mind staggers and then huddles up. It starts to glow white until you see its form shrink. It is immune during this transformation. When it gets back up it looks like a Warlock. It has a shield that it can spawn whenever until you take out the generator hovering on top of its head. It will fire Vex-enhanced Axion Bolts, Scatter grenades, and Void grenades. It will occasionally fire a Vex-enhanced Nova Bomb. It hovers during the entire fight unless you get too close, in which case it lands and hits you like a Warlock normally does. Please note that its attacks won't be as deadly as the same thing in Crucible, but its still powerful enough.
Once you get its health bar to 1% it reproduces its shield and teleports away.
[b]G[/b] - Guys, the Mind just teleported away.
[b]Z[/b] - Hmm...
[b]C6[/b] - Any idea what it was doing?
The chest spawns and the hologram makes a loud noise and produces a hologram of the Tetrahedral Fleet.
[b]G[/b] - Umm... transmitting data now.
[b]IR[/b] - We have it.
[b]C6[/b] - We'll see if we can pull anything from it. I'd say for now, good job?
[b]G[/b] - The mind did escape.
[b]C6[/b] - But you did drive it out.
[b]G[/b] - Good point.
Strike ends. It starts a quest called "Warning". The quest steps are "Not Even the Light" and "I'm Sorry for your Loss".

Awesome idea. Should send to bungie themselves to say "this is better"
