Interaction Text
Parting the Veil
"Hey, Guardian! Thanks for coming down."Nimbus is eager to get to work as they stand up, clapping their hands together.
"We've had some weird Vex activity going on across the city in the last couple weeks. When I sent the data to Osiris, he got all excited about it." Nimbus smirks. "You know how he gets."
Nimbus rolls their shoulders, ready for action. "Osiris thinks whatever the Vex are after has to do with the Veil, and he wants you to look into it; collect some data, see what they've been digging into." Nimbus sighs.
"Problem is, we don't have a lead on the Vex... but the Shadow Legion does. So we're gonna pay 'em a visit, bust a few heads, and figure out which Vex we need to target." Nimbus slaps a fist into their open palm.
"I'll be on overwatch," they eagerly explain, "and the old man will be in your ear the whole way." Then Nimbus raises their brow, motioning to the overlook's edge.
"So, ready to roll?"

Parting the Veil
Osiris has left a note behind for you. It reads:Guardian,
I do not know where our research into the Veil will bring us. The work done by Chioma Esi and Maya Sundaresh is undoubtedly critical to our understanding of not only the Veil but also its greater purpose in the Witness's agenda. We have only begun to scratch the surface. I wish there were more time.
Regardless, even the beginning of our work has borne fruit in further understanding Strand through its source of origin within the Veil. The more we understand of one, the more we understand of the other. In that, I believe, there is hope.
In the meantime, I believe there are other obligations that demand your attention. I will let you know of any future developments.
Warmest Regards,
Osiris
