I am waiting for the explanation of why, in a universe where there are multiple, basically immortal, characters, ANYONE, would think it makes sense to send a normal human into a mission where death was a very real possibility. Like, what is the point? To take our BEST support personnel and throw them into the meat grinder? They do realize that SUPPORT is just as if not more important than front line battle/missions, right? Now consider that Zavala and Ikora, took a step WAY back after Cayde died. As "leaders", their place is not on the front line. I am pretty sure that is actually the job description of Guardian. Front line operatives. But yeah, let's send in the leader of our Allies and a support pilot into an enemy stronghold to rescue a handful of civilians. Makes perfect sense... Especially since the guardians have been doing this on the regular for weeks now.
