[quote]To all corners of the system... I've emptied the armories on the fringe. Sent Corsair warship fleets. Deployed Harbingers. And yet... the Black Fleet persists. I know what it's taken from you. Petra... I've been away for too long, and for that, I apologize. Your compassion and leadership have been a boon to me - and our people. This all started with the Dreaming City. I shall return to finish it. [sighs] Savathun will be waiting.[/quote] <Welcome to the first message from Mara Sov in... quite some time. What's it been, over a year now? I don't know if anyone recalls, you all probably do, but I didn't really enjoy the fact that Mara seemingly abandoned her people with her not telling us what she was to do. Of course, we had our theories. Some said that she took the fight to Savathun, and others said she took to fight the Pyramids. I should've seen the latter coming. The Nine's cryptic message during Week 3 of the Invitations, Eris's short journeys before finding the Lunar Pyramid. I should've known that the Queen of the Reef would be so bold... ... and so incredibly stupid. What did she think would happen? She would fire a Harbinger or three at a Pyramid and watch it obliterated into dust? God forbid she tried that shit on the Mothership, where Darkness is at its strongest. And now she comes crawling back. In a way, the Nine were right, they DID "annihilate" her. Her soul is crushed due to the continuing march of the Pyramid Armada. She has to pull some serious shit out to beat Savathun before I even begin to respect her again. She abandoned her people to fight a futile war when even WE haven't figured a way to beat them. -blam!-, we're the only ones outside of the Traveler who stand a chance so far. So let her crawl back to the Dreaming City, but don't think for one moment that I will spare her any grievances.>
