greetings Guardians my name is beef here so this video is one of three if some of this
law ends up being particularly pertinent I'm gonna reference it in other videos but it's
all going to be split into three things because that's how the collector's edition law from
lightfall comes split in three books three different characters talking about three different
things whilst we do have the law from both the perspective of Eris and also from kaisal
and the extra documents that they hold containing information on Elsie Bray and kallus we are
going to first be looking at icora and officias's investigation of Osiris this is one of those
three law books and it's got a lot of stuff to it but we're going to cover it all today
I'm gonna hopefully cover the other two just ahead of lightfall however there are other
videos out there on these topics so I wanted to go ahead and Prime you for that it's going
to take me a little bit of time to actually get to the others and in the meantime both
myelin and evez have good collectors edition lore videos so if you've not already done
so go ahead and share the love and jump in watch some of their content too anyway without
further Ado let's jump into this book first of all before you jump into any of the books
you have a note from Zavala attached to all of them and it reads as follows Guardian fragments
of information regarding Neptune have been discovered recently that could become of interest
to the witness and its disciple kallus our planetary scans have been inconclusive so
far but should you become involved I want to keep you informed Osiris has Intel though
it may not be fully reliable given his imprisonment by savathune ikora's personal assessment of
him has been provided for your eyes only Eris believes the EXO strangers pet may have come
from Neptune documentation regarding this creature therefore May bear relevance finally
supplementary records from Empress kaisal provide insight into callus's psyche perhaps
a weakness can be found and exploited good luck Zavala needless to say this book about
Osiris spends a little bit of an interesting time as far as context in the story is concerned
this is after Osiris has spent a long time on the bench and has only really been back
with us for a single season and it also means that we're going to be looking at a lot of
stuff to do with trust this is something we've talked about before but a lot of the questions
that thickeus and ikora are asking are all about trust for those of you who don't know
aficia says ikora's ghost and he is one that is accompanying aikora's notes on the investigation
and re-reading them and checking them in with her after every single one of the debriefings
that she did with Osiris also as a side note I realize I keep saying earthquake is wrong
throughout this entire thing I'm gonna chalk that up to being ill so sorry continue this
law book starts with an exchange between the guardian and her ghost and it starts with
a vicious reminding ikora not to blame herself for savathun's trickery which fooled key members
of the tower she's not interested in being given a free pass and states that she will
need to impartially assess Osiris without any leniency before he can be sent back into
the field it's also noted that this is not likely to happen again given his lack of a
ghost on the subject of sagira it's made clear that aficious and ikora contemplated bringing
her shell to The Relic on Mars to see if she could somehow be reforged but they chose not
to considering that it was unlikely to work this is especially true given that The Relic
is made of darkness and sagira is forged in light Osiris's first debriefing is in itself
fairly awkward but uneventful Osiris tells ikora when he believes he was taken over by
savathun on the moon and he acknowledges that a lot of the Social Capital he used to have
in the last city has all but evaporated thanks to the past events I think the biggest thing
about it is that Osiris asks ikora if she trusts him she states that whilst she trusts
Osiris she doesn't necessarily trust her own perceptions anymore the incident with savathune
clearly having tampered with her quite substantially to this Osiris replies with approval and the
first of four debriefings is over in the second debriefing icora returns something precious
to Osiris his ghosts shell sagira's remains were recovered by our efforts in the throne
world and initially they were sent to the hidden and further investigations were conducted
upon them this required them to be used multiple times within the altars of reflection it was
discovered by the hidden agent Lisbon 13 that placing various objects within the altar of
reflection could create further opportunities for insight this knowledge came at a great
cost considering that Lisbon would have to revisit various uncomfortable details about
his past work as a part of the Ken talk 3 Osiris's grief when receiving sagira's shell
was obvious and ikora wondered how again she could have allowed herself to be tricked the
conversation shifts in this second debriefing to imaru savathune's ghost here that we start
to get a little more insight into the way that ghosts resurrect Guardians and the conditions
under which this normally happens in most instances a body is required for a ghost to
resurrect their Guardian but in the case of complete disintegration a ghost is capable
of resurrecting their Guardian from nothing therefore savithun's body was stolen out of
her throne World by the hidden and they scoured the place where severthune died for any genetic
material that they might be able to find all of this to ensure that they were the only
ones that had sabathune's body this was all done to hopefully prevent her resurrection
and the body has even been of good use to Eris mourn who has dissected it and obtained
various different secrets from its remains Osiris points out to ikora that because imaru
is a hive ghost imaru might have some other means of resurrecting sabathun that is unique
to The Hive not allowing him to know exactly about Finch ikora lets Osiris know that they
have a source on the inside that can confirm that this is not the case after this second
debriefing ikora and a fierchus note the odd nature of Osiris is concerned with savithun's
ability to resurrect fearcus describes it as a quiet kind of fear in the third debriefing
we're reading into some really interesting things as we start talking about the underworld
and mythology in the context notes ikora states that there was one part of the conversation
where Osiris didn't seem entirely himself all of this is wrapped up in mythological
stories of people who ventured into the underworld and returned I actually want to read a part
of this in full because it's quite relevant in my opinion take a listen to this Osiris
hmm debating the reasons does not interest me the data does we have thought Neptune to
be a dead end a hope that was never realized she knew something about it or perhaps something
on it which brought her power some deception or hidden truth some Bluff that she had held
uncalled against the witness and its disciples though my senses were darkened that much was
clear through the murk of her throne world there was a secret she kept veiled even to
the last I do not fully understand what I saw and for a human to understand a hive mind
how many legends of catabuses do we have iqora ikora we currently have dozens of stories
about descending into the Realms of the dead though research has indicated many more must
have existed lost in layers of human history we will never lay eyes on mathematically there
were likely hundreds inanna and dumasir didn't gestinana Orpheus and eurydice Izanagi and
is an army to name a few gods and goddesses mortal and Immortal lovers always seeking
to descend and return with the Lost Osiris and neither the Lost nor those who searched
for them were ever returned the same akora is that how you think of yourself Osiris until
I sound that dire all Guardians all light bearers have done as much but others well
I wonder do our former enemies have similar stories ikora what exactly are you getting
at Osiris frequently the underworld or those Realms Beyond mortal existence possess wisdom
the living do not what then is knowledge from a dead Hive God vested in deception
ikora so Neptune and secrets Osiris inanna ikora what is it Osiris uh thought an echo
of one the return from the underworld and inanna cast off her veil it makes sense I
did not understand when I first felt clutching Whispers carrying wisdom away from Kerr when
she strode into the sunlight again osirisman was self-directed see initial notes Osiris
focusing clear's throat akura this Witness I do not say this lightly but it made her
wary not in the way that she might have been of Guardians who stole him blazing into battle
with power and conviction and no restraints I still feel it her concern though I can give
you no proof and concern is exactly the type of thing she would lay contingency plans for
ikora I understand
this conversation is one that raises alarm bells for icora and the fiercas they get the
notion here that Osiris was close enough to savathune to have glimpsed her thoughts and
emotions and they assume therefore that sabathune was close enough to have had them planted
Acura and her ghost then consider that Neptune May well be just another trap laid by savathune
However the fact that the witch Queen feared the witness in itself is another indication
of just how formidable this foe might be and this is what gives both ikora and ethiacus
pause the third debriefing also touches on a very important note thematically namely
it's all about the inanna reference and the idea of mythologies that chart a person's
journey into the underworld and back out in particular inanna is a name that comes from
a goddess in Sumerian mythology which is naturally very much interlinked with Mesopotamian mythology
I know that sounds like a silly sentence you hear someone say in some kind of documentary
on the History Channel but seriously Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology are two cultures
that blend together because Sumeria ultimately is a part of the larger Mesopotamian culture
sumerium culture came first and as a result it has a lot of overlapping deities most crucially
in this instance though inanna is an overlapping deity with another Goddess that we know in
Mesopotamian culture whilst crucially inanna is a goddess of fertility sexuality and paradoxically
War she's known by another name in Mesopotamian culture Ishtar yeah Destiny fans you have
a reference there and I know you recognize it more notably than this is the fact that
Ishtar is a name that comes up in Destiny in the form of the Ishtar Collective Ishtar
is something that has been noticed before this is something that we find on Venus and
Venus is actually the associated god with it if you were to transpose things onto the
Roman Pantheon all of this is to say that the Ishtar Collective is a real thing that
might be getting referenced here and that might seem odd and nonsensical to most but
it's not so nonsensical when you look at the vidoc that Bungie published and in the welcome
to near Muna section you see a door of a research Outpost and guess what's plastered around
it yeah Ishtar Collective logos on the wall and this is in neomuna take a look you can
actually see it in this section here just before they talk about the Lost sectors that
it's like this big neon Soak City but it has quite a spectrum of different environments
I think my favorite I have no idea why these are here assuming nyamuna was established
by isotaria and the colony was something which was simply created by the singular AI that
saved the human beings in smile pods then you're looking at something remarkable because
well soteria would have no way of having the Ishtar Collective established safely given
that it's a golden age or post-golden age Colony that would have had no contact with
them unless the books are involved because there are some 200 plus copies of a few Ishtar
researchers that have been uploaded into the Vex Network so I feel like that might be the
reason why all of this is going to be part of a story that plays out maybe all those
personalities have something going on here in the first place there are some interesting
ideas laid in there about characters returning from the underworld and certain key elements
of crazy deep lore there is definitely a Maya sundaresh shaped Direction but the theory
I have is something I want to sit on and allow to brew for just a little longer either way
with all this Theory we are getting ahead of ourselves the fourth and final debriefing
it does not go smoothly ikoro notes that it is not one of her finest moments Agora asks
how Osiris and Saint are doing whilst it seems as though Osiris is non-committal with his
first answer saying that they are fine he brings up how glad he is to be back with Saint
and that his was the first face that he saw ikora states that that's good considering
how distant he was when he was possessed by savathune this is clearly an incredibly painful
topic for Osiris on account of how he sometimes tried to call out to Saint while he was possessed
but was never able to reach him because of savathune's influence pain of having put his
partner through such an ordeal clearly still haunts him if you push away the one you love
and they still stay that's commendable to them but in servathun's instances it's a wound
that haunts him deeply even if he wasn't one to have technically done it akora's next attempts
to console him land on deaf ears and Osiris remarks openly that he feels useless and for
that for once in his life he feels his age in a way that he never did as a guardian he
also pries out of ikora a note that she's not necessarily sending agents to Neptune
yet due to a lack of resources Osiris can see what this really means which is that he's
not trustworthy yet this is something that gives us an interesting timeline point for
all of this because if this is the case then I think it's clear to say that this is before
we actually enter the spur of the Watcher dungeon and it's well before the end of the
season of the serif where we get more information to do with Osiris Neptune and the information
that Rasputin had on the colony there by this point in time ophiacus had changed his mind
and saw the lack of telemetry from Neptune as suspicious implying that he was leaning
towards recommending Scouts he also pointed out more about Osiris's inanna reference from
the third debriefing and how inanna never truly left the underworld in her famous mythological
story an odd detail to bring up for sure but one that is potentially of relevance the final
conclusion of ikora's Investigation is that she does believe she is talking to the real
Osiris trauma and all but that she cannot confirm that he is truly free of savathune's
influences whilst he may never be cleared for field duties again it is clear that his
knowledge represents a resource that the tower can ill afford to lose so him being grounded
seems Justified for the moment though it may not remain this way forever given that he
will be joining us on Neptune come light for but that's all from me for now we'll be going
through the other two law books as time goes on I imagine that Destiny is going to drop
a launch trailer at some point soon so we'll take a break in the day for that we also have
more tea slape and a few other bits and pieces to do but for the moment this is where our
content lands as some of you can probably hear I'm uh I'm sick I got the Rona unfortunately
we tried so long to stay away from it did an entire convention without getting it did
all the proportions and now just I guess my number is up three years earlier so if things
get really bad content will slow down but hopefully all this will pass in time for lightfall
