There's a big door that needs opening, so naturally, Durandal sends in Blackstar and Narcogen-- along with a whole mess of BoBs in We're Everywhere, level 6 in our series Let's Play Marathon 2.

Durandal wants us to color only in between the lines, but battleroids aren't famous for following instructions. Or are they? Blackstar and Narcogen wander around another waterlogged Pfhor facility in search of things to break.

Durandal immediately sends us into the depths of the Flickta-infested sewers, poking around for something-- he's not even sure what. While we're there, we'll pick up the fusion pistol a little early and have a look at a surreal and endless battle.

Revived from stasis by Durandal above the homeworld of the enslaved S'pht, we awake to find foes both new and old just waiting for our arrival.

Even with the mutant Pfhor controlling the enslaved S'pht compilers destroyed, the floaty red guys are still reluctant to help us out, and we're still trapped on the alien ship. I guess Durandal has forgotten all about us.

Gameplay starts at 01:17.

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.
