In the tower one day Snow was going to the tower to talk to Cayde-6 when out of nowhere the whole tower went dark. As Snow was stumbling around the darkened tower she bumped into Shaxx. She fell to the floor, in all the commotion Shaxx was dazed when the conflict happened he didn't know what was happening. After he recovered from his confusion he helped snow up off the ground. " I am so sorry for making you fall." Shaxx said apologetically, "oh it's fine" Snow replied. "If you don't mind me asking, what is happening?". Without response Shaxx ran passed Snow causing her to fall again.

Snow was so confused at what was happening, so she walked up the stairs out of the hall of guardians. She was surprised to see that the main plaza of the tower was being invaded by vex. These vex were not regular though they were white with green energy. They did not seem to aggressive to anyone at the moment. Yet when Zavala came to talk to what looked like the commanding officer he got thrown to one of the other vex who continued to imprison him. After the conflict with Zavala the vex started to capture the rest of the people. Cayde-6 got a strike team together in the hall of guardians, but when they converged they were all disintegrated including Cayde-6, after this all the others were to afraid to move. Seeing this Snow ran to her ship where Cerin was waiting for her.
