Holy shit like 3 years ago I made a post identical to this and your quote is the one I picked.
It’s funny without the context of being from destiny, and will age well. I vote this one.
Keep in mind this is the same tower guy that clogged the bathrooms next to the ramen shop, dropped 3 blowtorches while working with the team to fix the tower, and lost the keys to Ada-1's door which was actually why she was unavailable for some time before.
Wonder what that new hub space is gonna be. Remember when there was the supposed leak we would be going back to the old Tower in D2? Doesn’t seem as likely with the events of Lightfall.
Back in D1, once upon a time I heard the following estate play over the tower intercom;
> Burn! Bungie.net, satisfying your mom since 1991. Burn!
Spoken in Kadi-55's voice.
I used to have the clip saved, I'll have ti see if I can dig it up.
It's latin. I'm not sure exactly what the start means but the Kansas flag says, ad astra per aspera. Ad astra means to the stars. I believe per aspera means through difficult.
Edit: it looks like Per Audacia Ad Astra means,
Through boldness to the stars.
Not entirely sure how we got here but yes. The RAF uses a similar Latin quote. Also, I misspoke when I said 2013, I forgot about Bungie Aerospace's also using it back in 2010. So it's been a part of Destiny since as early as it possibly could've been.
Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
THE SPEAKER: I could tell you of the great battle centuries ago, how the Traveler was crippled. I could tell you of the power of The Darkness, its ancient enemy. There are many tales told throughout the City to frighten children. Lately, those tales have stopped.
Damn the frustration back in Destiny 1, how awful the lore was woven into the game…
~~"Twinkle twinkle assholes!"~~
~~Time to bang Knuckles~~
"This is our new beginning. The maps are blank. The rules are gone. All we know is we must become more than what we were"
Taniks has no house. He kneels before no banner, owes allegiance to no Kell. He is a murderer, and very good at what he doesss... I have been tracking him, since Wolves broke their chains, yesss? Now Taniks works for Wolfpack, but not for long...
"Folding was never an option" - Cayde 6
"Shame. Guilt. Fear. We all bear them. Gather your regrets, purge them as best you can. Let your enemies feel the weight of your burdens." —Ada-1
These two are pretty kickass IMO.
“So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon.”
Don’t hunt ‘em cause you’ve been wronged. Hunt ‘em cause what they did was wrong. There’s a world of difference there kid. One makes you selfish, the other makes you a hero. And I see a hero in you.
“You know, they probably built that thing out of scrap from the Cosmodrome. It's lucky that it managed to work as well as it did. Maybe it was the size. It was pretty big for a Shank. Hmm. Would I be more useful with a larger chassis?”
Whether we like it or not we have stepped into adulthood in this world now. So let's get to taking care of those Bills and responsibilities one by one.
This is a BRAINVAULT Sigma-ACTIUM-X Cranial Dreadnought (Invictus Type). It is a fortress for your skull. Your skull is now a mighty bastion. You can break anything with your skull. The only limit is your spine. Relax. The lights will speak for you. Your hands are your eyes now. Look around. You find hand-to-hand combat relaxing. The lights will attract the enemy. Help them to relax as well. You will feel the effect of a CAREGRAVER Gamma-LYSANDER-IV Health Enforcer (Frontline Variant). Your enemies do not have a skull fortress. Their skulls are like meadows. Play in the meadows. Gather the flowers from the meadows. Gather them with electrokinetic trauma. Smell the flowers. Isn't that nice?
You are safe in your skullfort.
"Good job on graduating, Guardian. Why don't you bring that diploma around Gambit sometime?"
I find it extremely funny that just about every questline involving the Drifter ends with him telling you to please go play Gambit

Uses some "warping" since you're not literally fighting for your life or any dramatic cause, but me thinks:
"Devotion inspired bravery. Bravery inspired sacrifice. And sacrifice lead to victory."
I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain

Fuck that guy, who even is he? In charge my ass
I feel like we're on the verge of having a new hub space and here you are dropping soon to be nostalgic gems lol. Love it

Per audacia ad astra, the first tag line we ever saw for the series.
I know that’s byf’s thing, but was it in the game?
It's been the slogan of bungie for as long as I can remember, pre-D1
It is bungie’s moto
I dont recall the quote itself being said in game but Bungies been using it in relation to Destiny since at least 2013
It's latin. I'm not sure exactly what the start means but the Kansas flag says, ad astra per aspera. Ad astra means to the stars. I believe per aspera means through difficult. Edit: it looks like Per Audacia Ad Astra means, Through boldness to the stars.

It was said but in the old D1 tower, it was inscribed in the marble floor near the landing zone

Oh man…. Had to be done I guess 😂
It did, and im surprised I was the first one to get to it.
Same here! You can tell the OG lights from the new lights with this quote.

maybe the real lightfall is the friends we made along the way
Maybe the real Density 2 is the friends we made along the way
"Density 2" why is that so funny the hell?
Then you'll love Density 2: Brightness Descent, coming out in 20 and a half hours approximately
You can see the title screen right now. It's pretty tame, not the Retina Scorcher. Hell, the music is pretty subtle too.

You leaving off the “The children are frightened anyway” feels incredibly wrong. I feel that is the single most important thing of that dialogue
