Destiny?

Destiny? is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Mystery. Released in 1998, it is the last Mystery album to feature Gary Savoie on lead vocals, as well as the first to feature Patrick Bourque as a member of the band on bass and Steve Gagné on drums. Destiny? was reissued in 2009 as a 10th anniversary edition with a new mix, a bonus track and new artwork.

Production

Background

Mystery's lineup changed drastically from their previous album, Theatre of the Mind, and had only two of the same members from that album. Bassist Richard Addison left the band in 1994 after finishing his parts for Theatre of the Mind and was replaced by Patrick Bourque, who played as a session musician on the album. Keyboardist Benoît Dupuis and acoustic guitarist and saxophonist Michel Painchaud left the band in 1995, leaving the band with four members. Then, drummer Stéphane Perreault left during the recording sessions for Destiny?. Gilles Peltier, the owner of a studio at which Mystery was recording knew Steve Gagné and suggested him as at least a temporary replacement for Perreault so the current album could be finished. Gagné was given three songs to learn in a short time frame and when his recording of the tracks was heard, it impressed Michel St-Père and Gary Savoie very much, leading Gagné to become a full time member of the band.

Destiny (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

"Destiny" is the 61st episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the 15th episode of the third season.

A joint Federation–Cardassian mission to establish a communications relay on the other side of the wormhole is complicated by an ancient Bajoran prophecy of doom.

Plot

Sisko, Odo, and Dax prepare for the arrival of a team of Cardassian scientists who plan to deploy a subspace relay to allow communication through the Bajoran wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant for the first time. Vedek Yarka arrives to tell Commander Sisko that a Bajoran prophecy, Trakor's Third, warns that this situation would bring catastrophe. A river on Bajor being diverted and the fact that the station was Cardassian all fall into his interpretation of this prophecy, along with the scientists being "three vipers" attempting to "peer into the temple gates" as their relay being put in operation. Yarka is treated with skepticism after he admits that he is the only vedek that interprets the prophecy in this manner, especially when it is learned that there are only two scientists not three.

Destiny (video game)

Destiny is an online-only first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Activision. It was released on September 9, 2014, for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One consoles. Destiny marked Bungie's first new console franchise since the Halo series, and it is the first game in a ten-year agreement between Bungie and Activision. Set in a "mythic science fiction" world, the game features a multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games. Activities in Destiny are divided among player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) game types. In addition to normal story missions, PvE features three-player "strikes" and six-player raids. A free roam patrol mode is also available for each planet and features public events. PvP features deathmatch game modes, as well as objective-based modes.

Players take on the role of a Guardian, defenders of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light to protect the City from different alien races. The Guardians are tasked with reviving a celestial being called the Traveler, while journeying to different planets to investigate and destroy the alien threats before humanity is completely wiped out. Since launch, Bungie has released three expansion packs furthering the story, adding new content and missions, and new PvP modes. Year One of Destiny featured two expansions, The Dark Below in December 2014 and House of Wolves in May 2015. A third, larger expansion, The Taken King, was released in September 2015 and marked the beginning of Year Two, changing much of the core gameplay. In December 2015, Destiny shifted to an event-based model, featuring more limited-time events. A new, large expansion has been confirmed for release sometime in 2016 and a full sequel to Destiny will release in 2017.
