XII: Out of the Deep is a Grimoire card from the original Destiny (Destiny 1), found under Enemies → Books of Sorrow. Grimoire cards held most of the game's lore and were read on Bungie.net and in the companion app, not in the game itself.
Card text
Xivu Arath, knight morph of Xi Ro. You love to conquer, don’t you? We love to see you work. Nearly two percent of Fundament’s surface is now our dominion. Your species embraces the worm.
The syzygy has passed. The God-Wave will reach you in less than two years.
Our organs informs us that Taox and her surviving Refusalists flee towards Kaharn Atoll. She hopes to rally the species of Fundament against you. The Leviathan’s agents work tirelessly to destroy ships and engines, trapping us on Fundament.
If we cannot make ships, we will become them.
Overwhelm the Kaharn bastion. Slaughter everyone there. From your acts we shall obtain the logic we require to cut space open and migrate to orbit.
Reality is a fine flesh, oh general ours. Let us feast of it.
