I have stayed with the Cabal, even as the Light in me dims - I have been too far from the Traveler for too long. If I am not destined to find my own Guardian, at least I can inform the City of what I've learned. I thought Mars would be the place to find a Guardian. The sand preserves...
Maya, Chioma, Duane-McNiadh and Shim decide to have a picnic before they send themselves into infinity.
Up here they have to act by biomechanical proxy. No human being in the Ishtar Academy has ever crossed the safety cordon and walked the ancient stone under the Citadel, the Vex construct that stabs up out of the world to injure space and time. It's not safe. The cellular Vex elements...
RECORD 0-CHASM-0 My love. I’ve opened this log as an apology. As a scientist, I believe in record-keeping. I believe in protocols, peer review, and ethical conduct. I believe in the importance of disbelief — you know: let’s run that one more time. What I’m doing here in Lhasa isn’t s...
A hologram of a spinning golden planet, in stasis, turning gently. You can see the storms moving over its face. But when the Commanders congregate below it, when they activate whatever controls are below, it changes. Fissures appear on its face. Is that their home? When the room empties...
Today, Primus Ta’aun leads from the front. He pounds from bunker to bunker, roaring encouragement. “You’re my cornerstone!” he tells a wounded Centurion, grabbing her by her armored shoulders. “Bear the weight!” He gets back up, into the fight. “Come on!” Tlu’urn snaps at him, run...

The universe is a beast. The body is made from tiny stuff, from near-nothings. From atoms swimming through a blood of crackling sparks. Simple, eternal Laws shape the beast. The largest galaxy is ruled by principles of mass and motion. Electrons are slaves to charge and to chance....
I drive myself to the edge of madness trying to explain the truth. It's so simple. Elegant like a knife point. It explains - this is not hyperbole, this is the farthest thing from exaggeration - EVERYTHING. But you lay it out and they stare at you like you've just been exhaling ...
... By wrath and confidence he filled space with an egg of his throne. It swelled up like a ghost star to smash the Harmonious Flotilla Invincible. Oryx broke the last word off their name. In the Nicha Thought-ship, Oryx hoped to find the location of the Gift Mast, which had been left...
... Agema at the Gap, remember? It didn't - well, what's this? / A Ghost! / Yes. Light be with you. / Excuse me, little Ghost - Tubach, pass me my helmet - thank you. Little Ghost, what are you doing here? / It's just looking around. / Where's your Guardian? / I don't ...
...mps her. She throws two knives into his armor and then staves his chest in with her own Ghost, wrapped up in her fist like a stone. Tell the Vanguard, she says to her Ether-spattered fist. Tell them Draksis is here. Her Ghost looks up at her in silence. When she makes no move to go...
Why did I set her on the trail? You try and try and try to explain, but no one ever understands. No one who's not a Warlock. Who hasn't spent a dozen years scouring the ruins for one string of symbols, one clean code, one black talon. Titans just make a hmphing noise, if they've...
...urn it again? No. I think you're only feeding it. I will touch its mind. Ghost - help. They call you Wizard. You must be ancient. I think you value power very much. Will you still be powerful without this piece of your mind? Tell me how to kill Crota. [static event] It showed...
From the diaries of Commander Jacob Hardy, pilot, Ares One
The mission is a go. Crew of three: Mihaylova, Qiao, myself. Immediate departure at the next Hohmann window to Mars. The MREs and return ships will chase us out. How do I feel? I said at the press conference I felt privileged. Historians will read this diary, but it won't take...
From the diaries of Commander Jacob Hardy, pilot, Ares One
Everybody asks about the words. The truth is I'm not much of a poet. Ares One didn't leave us with bandwidth for anything except blunt competence. We came in perilously hot, trying to select a landing site through the chaos of thickening atmosphere and turbulence that bloomed...
From the diaries of Commander Jacob Hardy, pilot, Ares One
The hike from Ares One. You've watched it. Everything was recorded. I think you can get it in full immersion, now, and fly around like a hummingbird. I'll add what I can. The route was planned. We all went together - the CEV and Ares One itself had enough automation to go...
From the diaries of Commander Jacob Hardy, pilot, Ares One
Three human beings stood on a high ridge and saw the shape of the future. Saw rain strike a millennia-old desert. Felt the air sweeten with oxygen and warm water and the beginnings of life. I am sometimes asked if I felt something die. The end of the era of human self-sufficiency....
Hope. And standing with strangers. That’s what I remember. Hope churning beneath my skin, assuring me there was a place besides this place. A realm that would nurture us, not kill us. The Earth was ruin. Chaos and madness and death. We were standing on the Earth. Where I am now. B...

I was nothingness. If I existed before, I existed as possibility, as potential, stretched thin across the aether. And maybe there was a body that looked like my body, complete with a soul that could be confused for someone rather like me. What I am now was not yet real. And then I...
Fear. That’s the only vivid memory left in me. It’s the moment when my fear was so thick and urgent that I gave up breathing. I stopped pretending to think. How I remained on my feet was a mystery, because the terror was bearing down on me, like a mountain about to crush my soul. But...
- which in the end is just a matter of substrate chauvinism. It doesn't matter if the system thinks with flesh or superconductor or topological braids in doped metallic hydrogen, as long as the logic is the same. And our logic is the same. Yours and mine. If I am a machine then...

Shame. Did I ever suffer exhaustion? Someone asked the question. Or maybe I asked it of myself. Then it looked at me. This moment was real. I told it what every Exo knows: “What can’t touch you has no strength over you. And there’s no place for fatigue to latch onto me.” But shame i...
Search Tips
In the "specific" search, you can type a phrase and enclose it in inverted commas so that the term you are looking for is specifically located. In this same method, you can also search for +Leviathan +Calus, and you will find all the records that have both words. You can also search for +Leviathan -Calus, and you will find all the records that have the word Leviathan but that do not have the word Calus. In this type, the content is not sorted by relevance, it returns everything that fits your search.
In the search type "generalized", the order in which the content is displayed is relevant according to what you search for. This method ignores words with less than 4 letters because they are very common; however, when searching for a term, the system will return an order that is most relevant to what was searched until the least relevant.
Remembering that you can share the search link with other friends for both methods so they can have the same vision that you are having. To do this, use the share buttons or copy the URL of the page after searching.
