Well, didn't see that coming. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. Writing-wise, the main thing that jumps out at me here is that my impression of Ghosts has them speaking a bit more formally; "C'mon, Guardian. The Cosmodrome is this way, and, hopefully, so is our way to the City." would be "Come on, Guardian. The Cosmodrome is this way. With any luck, we'll find a way to the City there." But that's just my own impression, and as the author you have creative license. One thing really confuses me, though. The Prison of Elders is in the Reef, yet the context of the story as-is suggests that the Guardian was revived on Earth. Is that a mistake, or intentional?
