They say the first thing that you forget about someone is their voice.
I never forgot Cayde’s.
And now, here his killer stood.
The Crow.
It had been a while since Cayde’s death, but I had far but forgotten it.
I had helped Eris with a pyramid on the Moon, watched as the Almighty nearly crashed into our City, witnessed the Traveller rebirth itself, and mastered the power of Stasis.
But now, here Uldren stood.
A guardian.
“I don’t remember you, but you remember me. What happened between us?” Crow interrupted my thoughts.
“Nothing.” I replied. “It’s not important anymore.”
I walked out of his chamber and into the Spider’s den.
I didn’t say a word as I walked up to him. I intended to go to the Last City and tell everyone where Uldren was.
“Now, Oliver.” Spider said. “Let’s make a deal. Crow and I have a good thing going here. So, I have a proposition for you.”
“I don’t care.” I replied, turning to him.
“Oh, you will want to hear this.” he replied. He held up a chip, one that could interface with an on-board computer. “I did some digging. I found this. It contains all of the information available on your past lives. Including the ‘Bane of Vex.’”
I was interested.
“In return for this, you say nothing about the Crow to anyone besides the Vanguard in the Tower.”
I considered it.
“Deal.” I said, and I took the chip.
A few moments later, I was in my quarters on the Rectifier. I plugged the chip into the interface there.
The screen lit up.

I tapped the next button, taking a deep breath.
[i]Subject-442632.
Oliver Lincks had a wife and two children, a son Grover and a daughter Sara.
They were killed in a tragic accident. Oliver feels as if he has no life left, which is why he has signed up for project Exo.
Oliver-1:
Feels normal. He is very good at hand-to-hand combat and can go long distances without collapsing.
Oliver-2:
Feels off-balance. Unusually good at Archery. Kept his hand-to-hand combat skills. He did not keep his stamina.
Oliver-3:
He has kept the best of Oliver-1 and 2. Very good at Archery. High stamina, extremely well hand-to-hand combat skills, amazing marksmanship. When Vex arrived, he fought them off, and was good at it. Has claimed the title ‘Bane of Vex.’ Interesting Character.
Update: Oliver-3 has broken out of containment and avoided a reboot. He has taken a ship and we have tracked it to the Cosmodrome on Earth. We sent some frames to get rid of him and tie up loose ends. There will be no Oliver-4.
Records kept by Clovis Bray the First.[/i]
I was shaking. I couldn’t believe it. I had a wife. Two kids. I ran away, and I died.
Clovis Bray killed me.
We would have a conversation, although I doubt that the AI replica of his brain would remember it.
I hung my head in my hands.
What now?
