Her and Devrim consistently complained about how the Guardian could do things they could not, take risks that they couldn't do, and how they wish they could jump into the fray of it. Amanda's capture may have been unavoidable, but given everything else she went through it makes me feel like that was her first attempt at hope that the Traveler would resurrect her. Then she had to hold two wires together to help get the prisoners out. An engineer of her magnitude wasn't able to quickly jerry rig a solution together that would allow the wires to stay connected-- she had to hold them? I don't buy it. It felt like it was such a lazy way to write her off until I considered the other two bits of information. It leads me to a part of the Destiny universe that's very dark: people who put themselves recklessly in danger, in hopes of being resurrected with greater powers.
