TYPE: Perspective/Comm Report – Shin Malphur & Cayde-6
DESCRIPTION: Events after Dwindler’s Range Showdown
ASSOCIATIONS: The Speaker, Renegade status
AUTHOR: T-W
Shin – Ghost, open communications to Cayde-6.
Shin’s ghost appeared before him and opened communications with the Tower.
Cayde-6 – Hello Shin.
It was a strange greeting from Cayde-6, even to Shin who wasn’t used to communicating with him.
Cayde-6 – Status?
Shin – Dredgen’s dead. I burned his body, there’s nothing left.
Cayde-6 – You need to come in.
Shin – I’m not sure I’m ready for that life Cayde.
Cayde-6 – You don’t understand, remember what I said about our last communication?
Shin did, Cayde-6 told him the Speaker was aware of it.
Shin – Yes.
Cayde-6 – Same goes.
Shin – Meaning?
Cayde-6 – Tower authorities saw the video of you disarming me and fleeing a lawful detainment. There are rules in the City Shin. Rules are supposed to be followed…not broken.
Shin remembered what Cayde-6 said to him at the transport...about how some rules were meant to be broken.
Cayde-6 – You run now, you’ll be labeled a renegade.
Shin – I understand. Don’t worry about me Cayde, I had a good teacher. And don’t worry about this area of the frontier. Good-bye Cayde.

DESCRIPTION: Weapons of Sorrow - Design
AUTHOR: T-W
STATUS: Final Report
What I have learned these last few months has changed me. I went into this believing the goal was to understand how the Hive channel the darkness. It is not. The goal is to do what Dredgen Yor could not, fight fire with fire.
The Thorn was a human-made weapon infused with Hive sorcery and used to kill guardians to steal their Light.
The Hive sword is a hive-made weapon infused with Hive sorcery and used to kill guardians to steal their Light.
But could humans make a weapon, infuse it with Hive sorcery, and use it to kill Hive? Make something that could channel their darkness, steal it, and use it to help us gather Light.
Could such a weapon be made? Could it be wielded? If you created something using the Hives desire to destroy all of existence, could you use that to your benefit?
What would it look like? Could we use it to gather our power faster, and dispense that power on our enemies? So many questions.
Old human customs talk about objects infused with magical powers. They called those objects Juju. Good juju stemmed from good objects and deeds, like medicine. But I am not looking for a cure, I am looking for a way to destroy a plague. To destroy the Hive. What we need is some bad juju.
And this Warlock intends to find it.
