Mike and Kit are continuing to explain important characters and storylines that new players have no context for because they're (mostly) not in the game. This week: Mercury and Brother Vance! Our hosts follow the Destiny 2 Year 1 Expansion's story threads through Seasons of Dawn and Arrivals! Then they attempt to answer the sphinx's riddle: just what the hell is the Curse of Osiris, anyway?
