*VARIKS, THE LOYAL: Oryx is dead. Taken unleashed. Many seek to claim the throne.
*GHOST: I thought killing Oryx would've ended the threat. Instead, we created a power vacuum.
{Gameplay}
*VARIKS: Taken power strong here. New leader rises. He hungers for Oryx's power.
*GHOST: One Taken King was enough, thank you.
The Guardian heads into The Founts.
*VARIKS: Taken are cautious, hiding.
*GHOST: I don't think it will be a problem.
The Guardian drops down into the lower level. A few Taken warp in.
*GHOST: And here we go.
The Guardian kills them and continues.
*GHOST: No sign of a Taken Prince yet.
*VARIKS: He is close.
Malok, Pride of Oryx appears in front of the Guardian, along with more Taken.
*VARIKS: Malok. Capture him, Guardian. Bring him to Prison of Elders.
*GHOST: You want him alive? Whatever happened to "kill them back"?
As the Guardian damages Malok, he retreats and summons more Taken to his aid. The Guardian pursues, but Malok eventually escapes.
*GHOST: He's getting away!
*VARIKS: Bah. Malok delays judgment. Cannot escape it.
The Guardian kills the remaining Taken in the area.
*VARIKS: Prey wants to run. We follow. Taken will hold his echo. Find it, and find Malok.
