【Destiny 2】Book: The Man They Call Cayde - Call

Now, to be clear, yeah, the plan is to tell it like it is, but don't expect every little detail to play out. I'm gonna hit the important stuff, sure, but what I'm really after here is a sense of… a sense of me. Because once you understand me, you just might understand where I'm coming from, why I do the things I do, and why I've done the things I've done.

 

So, read between the lines if you have to, but end of the day? Everything that matters should be readily apparent. If not, you're not paying attention.

 

So here goes…

 

Us Exos are haunted.

 

Sounds ominous, I know, and maybe a bit of a stretch. But really, it's the best word—kinda sets the stage in a way the raw facts don't.

 

See, Guardians have all got past lives. But unless you returned with any definitive info on your person or in proximity (I'm looking at you, Bray), that past life, or lives, was, or were, wiped clean. Gone. Reborn in the Light and all, you become what you become.

 

Exos, though?

 

We've got ghosts in our machines. Not capital-G "open doors and know things" Ghosts. I mean, like fragments of— I don't know, pieces of something that could be memory. Whatever it is, it's enough to give us a starting point to maybe, possibly, imagine who we were before we became who we are. And then there's the dreams—but I ain't touching that with a ten-foot Arc Staff.

 

Me? I'm one of the lucky few. The fudgy flashes of that old Exo life weren't all I had to go on. See, the "me" that was in my life before my trusty capital-G Ghost found me kept journals, like mementos—fragments of my prior life that give me a baseline of who I was.

 

The journals are personal, and I keep personal close to the chest. I've shared a few pages, sure, but only with right-minded types who could find a little value in seeing the man behind the myth.

 

Yeah, "myth," I said it. Who are we kidding? You've heard of me. Who hasn't? Point is… I don't make a show of personal business.

 

First, because it's MY fuel to burn. Second, because Big Blue ain't a big fan of his Guardians poking around what they used to be—something about duty, rules, not losing sight of why we were chosen. But more than any of that… most of us "Chosen Ones" don't have the luxury of a past, so rubbing it in doesn't seem right.

 

Look, all I know is…

 

When I rejoined the land of the living, the pre-Light version of me was kind enough to lend a guiding hand. I took that hand, gave it a high five, and followed its example the best I could.

All this time later, I may not know my true purpose—I leave the big-ticket, existential questions to the Warlocks—but I know this…

 

My calling is to do good. Maybe not always to "be" good, ya know, but do good. There's a difference.

And if I don't always go about it in a manner that fits the textbook definitions of "hero" or "team player"—I'm looking at you, Big

 

Blue—just know…

 

I might dance to my own tune, but we're all at the same hoedown…

 

Or something like that.

자, 명확하게 말하자면, 계획은있는 그대로 말하는 것이지만 모든 세부 사항이 실행될 것이라고 기대하지는 마십시오. 나는 중요한 일을 할 것이다. 그러나 내가 여기서 정말로 추구하는 것은 ... 나의 감각이다. 일단 나를 이해하면 내가 어디에서 왔는지, 내가하는 일을하는 이유, 내가 한 일을 한 이유를 이해할 수 있기 때문입니다.

그래서, 당신이 필요하다면 줄 사이를 읽으십시오. 그러나 하루가 끝날까요? 중요한 모든 것은 쉽게 명백해야합니다. 그렇지 않다면주의를 기울이지 않는 것입니다.

그래서 여기 간다…

우리 엑소는 귀신입니다.

불길한 것 같네요. 알 겠어요. 약간의 스트레칭 일 수도 있습니다. 하지만 실제로는 최고의 단어입니다. 원시 사실이 아닌 방식으로 무대를 설정합니다.

수호자는 모두 과거의 삶을 가지고 있습니다. 그러나 당신이 당신의 사람이나 가까이에있는 어떤 확실한 정보를 가지고 돌아 오지 않는 한 (나는 당신을보고 있습니다, 브레이), 그 과거의 삶이나 삶은 깨끗하게 지워졌거나 지워졌습니다. 지나간. 빛과 모든 것에서 다시 태어나면 당신은 당신이되는 것이됩니다.

그래도 엑소?

기계에 유령이 있습니다. 자본 -G "문을 열고 사물을 아는"유령이 아닙니다. 내 말은, 기억이 될 수있는 어떤 것의 조각처럼 .. 모르겠어요. 그것이 무엇이든, 우리가 우리가되기 전에 우리가 누구 였는지 상상할 수있는 출발점을주는 것으로 충분합니다. 그리고 꿈이 있습니다. 그러나 저는 10 피트의 아크 지팡이로 그것을 건드리지 않습니다.

나를? 나는 운이 좋은 소수 중 하나입니다. 그 옛날 엑소의 삶의 흐릿한 빛이 내가 계속해야 할 전부는 아니었다. 저의 믿음직한 자본 인 G Ghost 이전에 제 삶에 있었던 "나"는 제가 누군지에 대한 기준을 제공하는 이전 생애의 단편 인 기념품과 같은 일기를 보관했습니다.

일기는 개인적이며 나는 가슴 가까이에 개인적으로 유지합니다. 나는 몇 페이지를 공유했지만, 신화 뒤에있는 사람을 보는 데 약간의 가치를 찾을 수있는 올바른 생각을 가진 유형들과 만 공유했습니다.

네, "신화"라고 말 했어요. 우리 농담이야? 당신은 내 말을 들었습니다. 누가하지 않았습니까? 요점은… 저는 개인적인 사업을 보여주지 않습니다.

첫째, 그것은 내 연료이기 때문입니다. 둘째, Big Blue는 자신이 과거에 있었던 일, 의무, 규칙, 우리가 선택된 이유를 잃지 않는 등 과거의 모습을 파고 드는 수호자의 열렬한 팬이 아니기 때문입니다. 그러나 그 무엇보다도… 우리 대부분의 "Chosen Ones"는 과거의 사치가 없기 때문에 문지르는 것이 옳지 않은 것 같습니다.

내가 아는 건 ...

내가 살아있는 땅에 다시 합류했을 때, 라이트 이전 버전의 나에게 도움이 될만큼 친절했습니다. 나는 그 손을 잡고 하이 파이브를했고 내가 할 수있는 최선을 다해 그 모범을 따랐다.

이 모든 시간이 지난 후에 나는 나의 진정한 목적을 알지 못할 수도 있습니다. 큰 티켓의 실존 적 질문은 흑 마법사에게 맡깁니다.하지만 저는 이것을 압니다.

내 소명은 선을 행하는 것입니다. 항상 좋은 것은 아니지만 좋은 일을하세요. 차이가 있습니다.

그리고 "영웅"또는 "팀 플레이어"의 교과서 정의에 맞는 방식으로 항상 진행하지 않는 경우 — 나는 당신을보고 있습니다, Big Blue— 그냥 알아 ...

나 자신의 곡에 맞춰 춤을 출 수도 있지만 우리는 모두 똑같은 춤을 추고 있습니다 ...

아니면 그런 것.
