"I'm glad you're joining the Guardian Games this year," Zavala greets you. "It's important to stay sharp, even when we're enjoying ourselves."

"To that end," he continues, "we've instituted a new way to track your accomplishments. You can now earn Vanguard Medals, which specifically track your achievements during those missions."

"Remember: Guardian Games is not just about representing yourself or your class." The commander crosses his arms across his broad chest. "It's about honing our skills to become the best Guardians we can be."
