NODE.OVRD.AVALON

So, Destiny 2 dropped a mission that actually opens like one of the old-school secret missions.  No hints, no warning, just find something strange and investigate.  Awesome stuff.  But it does raise a few questions about some of the events and the nature of the Vex network.

We enter the network as Misraaks’s request, and travel through, doing some platforming and fighting some really rough battles with vex swarming while inputting access codes (easier to enter than the ones in the campaign, thankfully).  As we go along, we see effectively data ghosts of Asher Mir, and they disappear when you approach them.  He’s not entirely part of the network, it seems, but living in it, sneaking through and manipulating security for us.  As the final encounter, we are treated to the return of none other than Brakion, the boss of the Pyramidion strike from Io before the planet vanished at the end of Season of Arrivals, with Asher having gone down into the Pyramidion to collapse it, preventing the witness from having direct access and seemingly sacrificing himself in the process (second best self sacrifice of the season, because Brother Vance’s lightless blind trek to seal the infinite forest damn near makes me tear up everytime I think about it). So... if we finally kill Brakion this time, does it stick?  Is the vex network similar to the ascendant plane regarding the nature of Vex consciousness?  If not, is it ever actually possible to truly destroy a Vex if they are connected to the network?  The Undying Mind, Panoptes, and Quria are generally considered dead for good, and while Quria was killed in the network, she was a special case due to being part Taken.  Undying Mind was killed in the Black Garden, and Panoptes was killed inside the Infinite Forest.  Do the vex just... not ever actually die? Also, did Asher bring us into the network for one last moment of vengeance against Brakion, or was that just a nice bonus in addition to what he really wanted us to find?  Regardless, I’m glad to see the seasonal stories getting follow-up, and this seems to support the return of Titan and Sloane for Season of the Deep even more now.

Once in a strike against this robit we melted him as soon as the initial plate was charged and somehow managed to glitch him so that he was walking around the whole arena for the rest of the encounter, while we still had to charge the plates to take down the shields and fight his little friends. He was shooting but dealing no damage, and was immune despite not hiding in his shield spots. I’ll miss you, Brakion, most stylish of Vex.

So my experience today in D2 was to witness the most bullshit cheese of poor Brakion I've ever seen. My ransoms were bullying him so bad that he had to walk to the first point rather than teleport.

My teammate got a bit overzealous at that point and got himself killed. As I'm rezzing him Brakion decides to put up his chastity belt and fucking throw me all the way across the room, to which I died.

Why the fuck did I stop playing this game.

From the Pyramidion

Brakion: Hello Mr. Mir we are going to take your arm off.

Asher Mir: I think I just need help...

Brakion: Give you cool robot arm!
