Holo-log recording, Ikora Rey; Since Leonidas' reawakening the Cult of the Praxic Fire and even the Thanonots have come clamoring to speak with him. I as his Vanguard and friend have stemmed the tide of them as much as I can. Yet I know he enters the Reef and I fear that Osiris will send one of his disciples there to meet him. I must contain Leonidas to the tower, for his own safety......and all of ours as well. Time: 12:30 P.M. Location; Cosmodrome, Forgotten Shore. *Bryan perches on top of one of the old ships. Steadily watching the horizon with his sniper, the Patience and Time.* Bryan - Judice, anything? *over radio* Judice - Nothing on my end, except a unusual amount of fallen. You? Bryan - No, nothing, but he couldn't have gotten far, Ghost was watching if he tried going into orbit, using our ships as trackers. Nothing has come up so it means he's still here. *radio* Judice - We have no idea if it's a he or she, unless it's a hunter like you cause it had a slim frame. That much I saw. Bryan - We will find them. Let's move on to the rocket yard, lots of hiding spots there. *The two regroup at one of the abandoned builds* Judice - Sight for sore eyes you are. *Bryan rests against a wall and begins sharpening his knife* Bryan - What's with the backwards proverbs? Judice - I found data of a old movie from the Era of the 1970's. One of the characters spoke that way. I found it cool. Bryan - Ok, well *Sheaths his knife* let's move, we don't have much time till night falls, we know what happens then. Judice - Yea everything gets pissy quickly. Bryan - No sparrows. If he has a radar then we could be in a lot of trouble. *They trek their way up through the yard without alerting the fallen or hive. As the movie near the old refinery the hive begin getting restless.* Judice - The hive are agitated. Someone else is here. *Bryan unsheathes his knife* Bryan - Five seconds. *Bryan counts down with his fingers* 5 4 3 2 1 *Bryan rockets out of cover to find another hunter engaging the hive. He takes notice and charges him. Ghost communicates with Bryan through his helmet.* Ghost - Watch out, his blade and holstered weapon are coated in darkness. Do not take him lightly! *Bryan takes head yet doesn't answer. Behind him Judice readies his sniper.(If he gets the upper hand on Bryan I'll empty his skull of his brain.) Bryan and the unknown hunter continue to wrestle and test each others strength. The hunter disappears. (B - He activated his cloak. He most likely reappearance will be..) The hunter reemerges five feet behind Bryan and charges. (J - No you don't.) Before Judice can fire his shot Bryan whirls around ducking under the hunters knife and stabs the Hunter's leg, but the hunter kicks Bryan away with the other all the while Bryan's knife is still embedded into his leg. (J - Now.) Judice fires off a shot and it hits the Hunter's shoulder. Wounded, the hunter uses a grenade and disappears again. Just as he vanishes a knight comes up to kill Bryan while he is on his back. A sniper round obliterates the Knights head* Judice - You good? *Bryan gets ups and dusts himself off* Bryan - I had him. Judice - Sure you did. Cmon, we have to report this to the tower. And get you a new knife. Bryan - Shut up. Don't remind me. *Bryan and Judice radio their ships and travel back to the tower only to find their Vanguards all yelling and arguing over something and Cayde - 6 and Commander Zavala about to come to blows with Ikora trying to separate them.* Judice - Hey!! *Judice goes chest to chest with Zavala and backs him off* Bryan - Get over here!! *Bryan puts Cayde into a headlock and puts him onto the floor.* *Both try to resist but Judice Knocks Zavala onto his back and Bryan bashes Cayde's head into the floor. Both thankfully unharmed calm down.* Bryan - What is the meaning of this? *Cayde and Zavala look at each other then look to Ikora.* Cayde - It's your department. Ikora - *sighes* Leonidas has left the tower in search of your old teammate, and Innocence followed him. *All look at the two Guardians. The silence is deafening.* Cayde - I'm guessing you wouldn't have any good news would you? Link to chapter 2 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/125510467
