Destiny ViDoc - Pathways Out of Darkness 0307

Here we see Destiny's mobile integration, with a screen that shows us Chapter 3 of Book 1, a mission called "Gain favor with the Queen" which apparently occurs at the Venus Destination, at a location called the Shores of Time.

The last note, "Help the Crow loot the Academy Archive" might be a side mission or optional objective.

There's no clear indication what the numeral "18" next to the Destiny tricorn symbol means-- perhaps a current player rating, or points accrued, or friends currently online, or a point reward for completing the offered mission.

This may very well end up being a representation of Destiny's equivalent of Mass Effect's galaxy map-- a not-to-scale representation of humanity's home solar system, with major Destinations here visible: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Bungie's current development efforts apparently center around small teams organized around different Destinations.
