"You like stories, Guardian?" Variks says in thoughtful contemplation. "Then come. Sit with me. Let me tell you about the time lost Vex, yes?"
"The Vex have no beginning or end. They cannot be created or destroyed. They are forever stuck in a long section of time, yes? Racing back and forth. To fix what is broken. Like a ball on a string.
"They see our existence as one giant machine. A machine that is in constant need of rebuilding, repairing. Until everything works in a smooth flow. And you, Guardians, are the bugs in that machine. The imperfection that destroys their flawless works. It is why they seek you out. Destroy you. Eliminate you. I know this. House of Wolves kept close track of the Vex. Stole secrets before House broke and I sided with the Queen. But secrets and House were taken by Skolas. Said he would conquer the Vex and make his word their will.
"But I was no fool. Knew Guardians would destroy Skolas. So, secrets I stole back. Now, I hand these to you, yes? They tell of a large metal block at the end of this galaxy. Large like a planet and silver in color, it is what chains the minds of the Vex together. Keeps them in constant contact with each other. And replaces the holes in their ranks. Find it. Destroy it, and erase their stories from the pages of our history."

Perseus sat up. "So I destroy this thing, and the Vex are all dead?"

Garuud stared at Variks. " So, find this machine and kill it." Garuud pauses for a moment. " So whats the reward?" Garuud says as he flips a incendiary grenade. The more mature voice spoke up " Smooth" The childish voice spoke up as well. " Yeah! Everyone is looking at you! They are probably thinking you have these amazing skills." Garuud smiles and says " I do." Garuud looks back at Variks " So whats the payment."
-
"Payment?" Variks cocks his head to the side and looks at you quizzically, pauses briefly to mull over what was just said and then laughs. "Guardian, you are a funny one, yes? You are reborn from the light. Reborn to protect our future. You have no need for money. Honor, prestige and satisfaction are payment enough."
-
" Normally yes, but bullets and tacos cost money Brah. Honor and satisfaction does not buy much." Another voice speaks up from Garuuds mouth. ( Mature voice) " Funds moolah, dolllah dollah bills yall, capiche?" Another voice speaks up as well (childish voice) " Indeed!"

I stared at the Fallen for a moment. Was he being serious? I mean yeah, I had worked with him during the Wolf Rebellion but what made him think that I could tackle this? "Are you sure?"
-
"Yes, Guardian. You are the bringer of death to Atheon, to Crota, and to the Fallen god Oryx. If you can kill a god, you can destroy the Vex. I trust in you."

"Let's do it," replied Ax, kicking the nearby servitor. "By the way, can I get my pike back?"
