The Exo Stranger’s Plan – Beyond Light Story Summary
Shortly after working with Variks to try and stop Eramis the old fashioned way, we realize that she and her lieutenants are too powerful with their new Darkness powers. We won’t be able to stop them.
Fortunately, our very old friend from Destiny 1, the Exo Stranger, shows up (along with the Drifter and Eris Morn) and has a new plan for us: we’re going to fight fire with fire. We’re going to learn how to control this new Darkness gift, more specifically known as Stasis, and beat Eramis at her own game.
The Exo Stranger acts as our mentor and teaches us how to use Stasis without succumbing to the Darkness.
It turns out the Exo Stranger is very familiar with the power the Darkness can have over the mind of a Guardian. She reveals that she’s from another timeline. One that played out exactly like this, except the Guardians (ourselves included) all too hastily accepted the powers of the Darkness and were quickly corrupted by it, leading to humanity’s demise.
In this timeline, she wants to avoid that mistake and ensure that the process does not corrupt us.
Our Ghost, a fragment of the Light, is very concerned about this plan but vows to support us no matter what, believing that what we do, we do to defend the Light and fight the Darkness.
