Durandal has decided that the key to defeating the Pfhor is to deprive them of their enslaved allies, the S'pht compilers. We are returning to the Pfhor scoutship to destroy a mutant Pfhor that controls the S'pht slaves and free them. Viva la revolution!

Gameplay starts at 01:25.

This Destiny ViDoc was released for GamesCom in August, 2013. Most of the footage and locations still comes from the E3 demo, and the footage that doesn't features locations that have mostly been shown in screenshots, but there are a few new tidbits here and there, including new enemies and weapons.

Durandal so appreciates our killing skills (hey, it's great somebody does!) that he wants us to come back to the Marathon and do some more of it. We'll even have some "help" of a sort, in the form of defense drones now armed with (loaded) grenade launchers. Friendly fire indeed!

Still on board the Pfhor scout ship, we've been ordered by Durandal to collect snapshots and corpses. We're more than willing to oblige, even if some of the corpses are our own.

Failing to find him among the humans on the Marathon, Durandal has sent us back to the Pfhor scoutship to try and save Bernhard Strauss. There's still no indication of which one of these exploding BoBs he was; the Pfhor are keeping the real and fake ones all mixed together, which adversely affects their life expectancies.

Blackstar and Narcogen's experimental teleporters have malfunctioned, stranding them in a strange world where the only constants are deadly green slime and being shot at by everything and everyone they encounter. Where have they gone, and how can they get back?

Back on board the Marathon, Durandal gives us a pat on the back and then sends us back into the bowels of the colony ship, looking for a "friend" of his-- Bernhard Strauss. But not everything is as it {}seems {}seems {}seems and before we can locate Strauss, the connection is interrupted-- ***JUMP PAD ACTIVATION INITIATION START*** ***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

Durandal's Rampancy seems to have progressed into some kind of mental disability, as he is no longer able to spell his own name, or to give us instructions of any kind, helpful or otherwise. He does, however, have some terrible plans for us in the near future...

Durandal is promising us a special device to help us kill more Pfhor. Should we believe him? Do we have a choice? Yeah, I thought so.
