Mara has asked the Guardian to take Savathûn's dying worm into the Throne World and find a way to revitalize it.

**

Ghost: All right, Mara, where are we headed?

Queen Mara Sov: To a city shrouded in Darkness, through the nearby caverns. There, you'll find the means to breathe life into the parasite once again.

Ghost: Understood. We'll contact you when we reach it.

//The Guardians defeat Lillix, Lightscourge, and approach a doorway made of the same material as the Pyramids.

Ghost: Mara, we've found a door. It's like the inside of a Pyramid.

Queen Mara Sov: A gateway to the dark city, built by that which commands the nearby Pyramid.

Ghost: The Witness.

Queen Mara Sov: Not the Witness itself, but a disciple.

Ghost: So what is this place exactly?

Queen Mara Sov: A factory, you might call it. Built for the growth and facilitation of those like the very parasite you now hold. Go, see for yourself.

Ghost: Not to be rude, but how do you know that?

Queen Mara Sov: One does not engage with the all-powerful without first gathering the most valuable tool in war: knowledge.

//Mara is interrupted and gazes off into the distance.

Ghost: If Hive worms were grown here, then we're looking for what, some sort of machine?

Queen Mara Sov: It's twofold. A source of immense Hive magic — a Cryptoglyph — to provide life to the parasite, and a Darkness incubator to infuse them. Shortly after gaining her new power, Savathûn returned to her throne world. Filled it with Light. Stamped out whatever poisons the Witness's disciple had spread throughout — including within that factory. And yet, I believe Savathûn far too cunning than to completely eradicate the potential power of that place.

Ghost: Then we'll start with the Cryptoglyphs. Must be around her somewhere.

//The Guardian exits the disciple's factory into an entire city of Darkness.

Ghost: An entire city of Darkness, right in the middle of Savathûn's home. And she did nothing to stop it?

Queen Mara Sov: Why would she? At the time, it benefitted her. Endless worms for an endless army.

//The Guardians reenter the factory. They find only leftover Darkness energy where the Cryptoglyph should have been.

Ghost: There's nothing in here. Just some sort of leftover Darkness energy.

Queen Mara Sov: Resonance. Of what used to rest there — a Cryptoglyph.

Ghost: And yet... the Scorn gave their lives to defend it.

Queen Mara Sov: Likely to obscure your path and trap you — dispel it and see what happens.

//The Guardian clears the corruption.

Ghost: You were right, Mara. The Scorn seem to be messing with us. That opened a portal.

Queen Mara Sov: Seek further corruption throughout the space, and you will undoubtedly find our Cryptoglyph.

//The Guardians locate the Cryptoglyph after fighting through many Scorn.

Ghost: That's our Cryptoglyph!

//The Guardian clears corruption from the Cryptoglyph.

Ghost: It's ours, Mara.

Queen Mara Sov: Good. The Scorn will know what you're after now. Do not delay in locating the incubator.

//The Guardian searches for the incubator chamber.

Ghost: I feel like if I don't ask, you'll never tell. But all this — Savathûn and the Witness, disciples, and now this place —

Queen Mara Sov: You wonder how I came across this information.

Ghost: That, and... why you didn't tell us sooner.

Queen Mara Sov: While you pursued Savathûn, the parasite and I traveled far and wide, pursuing... related interests. Much of this knowledge is still new, even to me.

//The Guardians fight Cadori, Lightscourge, and Nakoix, Lightscourge.

Ghost: All this Scorn tech lying around makes me think they're using the Darkness energy in this place to build some sort of lair. Best we clean 'em out.

//The Guardian enters the incubator room.

Ghost: I'm picking up heavy Darkness signatures in here, and more corruption.

Queen Mara Sov: You must be close to the incubator.

Ghost: Only one way to find out.

//The Guardian clears the corruption. Heimiks, Warden of the Harvest, responds to the Guardian presence.

Ghost: That definitely got the Scorn's attention.

//The Guardians defeat Heimiks.

Ghost: We're clear. But no sign of an incubator.

Queen Mara Sov: It must be hiding in plain sight. Look around.

//The Guardian reveals with incubator with Deepsight. They place the worm on the incubator.

Savathûn's worm: Fear swells... Deception Queen...

Queen Mara Sov: What did you say?

Ghost: Nothing. You heard that too?

Queen Mara Sov: The parasite. It speaks once again. It...worked.Ghost: You didn't think it would?

Queen Mara Sov: Savathûn's deception runs deep. I fear that somehow, the parasite it cursed. However... I have yet to see evidence of it.
