Ikora Rey stepped into Lab 3, followed by Ophiuchus. \u201cIf that idiot thinks we don\u2019t recognize him\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be easy to empty a shotgun in his back and wait for his Ghost to show up,\u201d Aunor interrupted. \u201cIt must be close by.\u201d She stared hard at an image of Cayde\u2019s final moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been through this, Aunor,\u201d Ikora said, looking purposefully at Aunor instead of the array of displays and screens. \u201cThe Vanguard needs him. How many times have you checked this data?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSeventeen. In my off-hours. I needed to know if I could trust the Guardian that let Cayde die.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ikora was silent for a moment, then she said, quietly, \u201cNot \u2018the\u2019 Guardian. Guardians plural. Zavala and I are just as\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCulpable, yes. You didn\u2019t let me finish. We lost Cayde on a random Tuesday. And you all just took that Guardian\u2019s word for it? One who\u2019s had less than a decade of service?\u201d Aunor turned, bathed in the layered light of the holograms. Arc energy hummed in the air around her. The holograms flickered and distorted. \u201cYou didn\u2019t think to ask whether it was a lie? You didn\u2019t think it was important to pore over this footage, to double-check every possible angle\u2014\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did!\u201d Ikora snapped. Ophiuchus nudged her; she steadied herself. \u201cWe have. And we\u2019ve allowed you to look. We gave you Sundance\u2019s shell. You\u2019ve had full access to every report. What\u2019ve you found?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing. It\u2019s as your hero surmised. Sundance was murdered by the Barons of the Tangled Shore. They pooled all their resources to craft a single Thorn-like bullet. Had they missed, the last few months would have played out very differently. The Hunters might still have their Vanguard. But… I admit that I see no reason not to believe the official report.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ikora nodded. \u201cMost reliable Guardian I know,\u201d she said softly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the only blemish on that record. I had to look into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ikora took a breath. \u201cWe need you to leave the Drifter alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know I have the Vanguard\u2019s best interests in mind. And now that I know our hero can be trusted, maybe I\u2019ve found the help I need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo do what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo save you from yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAunor…\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt remains my honor to be your Hidden. But there are lines I will never cross. Not for you, not for the Order. Do you trust me to do my job?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways. I… the Vanguard ask that you do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
