Variks ruminates on the escalating situations going on around the solar system. He refers, indirectly, to a few different groups. Which of these groups have we [i]not[/i] engaged in combat thus far? EDIT I think it's been long enough, the answer is the Ahamkara. If you look in the Skolas: Defeated grimoire card, the paragraph that starts with "The alternative is Skolas' strength..." [quote]...and everything is escalating around them. There are gods and powers converging on this system, old machines waking up, [u]old bones whispering flatteries[/u].[/quote] That may seem a little vague until you read the Ghost Fragment: Legends 3 grimoire card (Under Legends and Mysteries in the Allies section) [quote]And thus the Ahamkara were made extinct, their call silenced, [u]their solipsistic flatteries erased[/u]...[/quote] I doubt they would use the exact same word by coincidence. Not to mention any exotic armor that involves Ahamkara, just read their descriptions. So...I guess I win?
