History of Kalki's Burning Sword, Part II

Overview

Kalki's Burning Sword, Part II is a Triumph in Destiny 2 tied to a lore entry from the book Last Days on Kraken Mare. The entry was added with Shadowkeep and is filed under the Warminds category. It continues directly from Kalki's Burning Sword, Part I.

Lore

The entry is written in the present tense from Mia van der Venne's perspective. She kneels outside Shanice Pell's abandoned lab while Morgan-2 and David Korosec argue. Morgan-2 has just revealed that a Warmind destroyed a shuttle full of people.

Korosec explains that Warminds act under a "Twilight Exigent" moral mode, which allows them to take human life to maximise survival. He argues that intelligence does not guarantee moral correctness. He asks to see the surviving copies of the contained data, and Morgan-2 refuses, citing danger.

In the same entry, Ismail Barat reports that Titan is accelerating. Mia watches the moon stretch from a sphere into an egg shape under a pull greater than Saturn's mass. Its surface bulges about 15 metres and keeps growing, and the entry predicts tremors, tides and a catastrophic wave when the pull releases. A second ocean roughly 50 km beneath the surface would add to the tidal forces.
