In the Strike of Savathun's Song, Sloane sends several Fireteams into the New Pacific Arcology. 3 Fireteams of 3 Guardian's each to be exact, which is a total of 9 Guardians & 9 Ghosts but something is amiss.
In the strike we see 12 sitting crystals and 2 void charges, and if you look closely, they're void crystals before we defeat the Handmaiden which becomes a void charge. These void crystals are the Guardians & their Ghosts.
Now adding Taeko & her Ghost at the end that makes 16 void crystals.
This means one Guardian & Ghost is missing.
When Standing next to Sloane on Titan, she has a dialogue line about Dredgen Yor:
"Give me a data dump on Dredgen Yor.
I know.
Lockout override Sloane 3-5 Blue-Alpha"
I think a Shadow of Yor was on a Fireteam, and they sabotaged the mission.

4 RepliesI think you might be giving Bungie's writing crew too much credit. It's probably just an oversight. Now if this was a From Software game then I might think there was some significance to that discrepancy. Every little detail has meaning in those games.
