so, is there an explanation of how tess escaped the tower?
seriously how did she of all people escape a full blown invasion of the tower when they where firing down caballs right next to her shop? my only guess is banshee was able to give her covering fire from his nearby shop as she ran away with a handful of bright engrams, making sure to trip up fabulous fabric lady as she made her way to the evacuation zone
All of our gear was destroyed, but somehow she is still fully stocked? Obviously the entire Red War was an inside job. Tess no doubt gave them access to the city's defense grid, and then quietly slipped away while the vanguard ran around with their thumbs up their butts.
It was clearly all so that she could sell more useless cosmetics to the poor, deprived guardians.
