I had a full LUKS encrypted Debian install on a TB drive, and a encrypted volume on a 488GB drive. The 488GB drive was its own encrypted volume mounted at /home/user/projects Originally, when I booted up, it asked for two paraphrases, and I unlocked both to boot the system.
Recently, I needed to remove the 488GB drive, so I copied everything off of the 488Gb drive, and removed it.
Now the system enters in Emergency mode when giving the paraphrase for the encrypted main Disk. It does however seem to accept the paraphrase and load up the graphic drivers and other services, but ends up putting me in emergency mode ( which is really doesn't because it tells me my root account is locked, im assuming because I have the a root account disabled and I use 'sudo -i' )
Does anyone know what's going on here? How can I get my filesystem back? I assume it must be recoverable.

Sounds like you need a LiveCD / rescue system and go from there. It may be as simple as removing any reference to the missing drive from /etc/fstab, crypttab, chroot and update the initramfs.
