      Honestly, that was such a nice touch. The whole mission was so dark and twisted, then to see this golden, gleaming weapon at the end was almost a breath of fresh air. Then, it prompts you to steal it and it feels like any light or positivity is sucked right back out again. Such a good mission.

His corpse is preserved and puppeted by medical equipment, his mind a digital copy that pulls the strings in a deluded effort to believe it is still alive.

    The soundtrack is fascinating, it has tinges of the Dominus Ghaul theme. It’s creepy and yet nostalgic of the Red War campaign.
    Additionally, Katabasis is an Ancient Greek word which is used to mean “going down,” which can refer to a couple things. It can refer to literal descent, or to journey into the underworld, for example. Props to the team at Destiny for really throwing in the symbolism.

    I had a 13 hour road trip by myself driving through the Rocky Mountains and listened to about 10 hours of your videos, it made the drive go by. So thanks for all your hard work.

    Me: *Hears "Callus" and "Crown". That guy JUST won't learn his lesson with the damn thing does he!?
    16:20 - Among those voices was Crow, too... Strange.
    Who knows. Maybe Callus has been dead for quite sometime... We never met him - in person. Maybe he is just another puppet of Savathun...

      That's not Crow's voice it's Uldren. Just stuff from when he was a villain

    Thank you for this! I just read all the Captain’s Log and spent the whole time thinking I can’t wait for Byf to tackle this.
