To find the mission for yourself, you'll need to go to Io and wait for public events to spawn. To access this mission - called The Whisper - you'll specifically need the Taken Blight public event.

Once it starts, keep an eye out for a named Taken Knight who'll leg it and retreat to a cave. Kill him before he leaves the cave and a portal will appear nearby. If you activate the portal, you'll be able to enter a Lost Sector and find a secret area. 

Lost already? Don't worry, Destiny 2 experts like Datto are already sharing their experiences online.

Developer Bungie has let Guardians know that the anomaly will close soon, so if you haven't got your Whisper of the Worm yet either plan to stay up late... or be tormented by regret until the anomaly opens again.
