Among the vastness of what used to be a thriving city, a ghost searches. It searches tirelessly to find their guardian. However, luck has never, and never will be kind to the little floating construct. It conquered the lush forests of Venus only to find nothing. It overcame the red sands of Mars only to be hindered by Cabal. Mercury would be a complete and total bust, which the ghost found out for itself, and Earth was now of no use either. And the little ghost was not thrilled about that.
The only place left not be explored was the Moon. However, no one went up their anymore. Especially after the Great Disaster. The ghost knew that hundreds of guardians went up to take back the hive infested moon, but only a few came back, and without success.If the ghost had a spine, she knew chills would run down it everytime she thought of the massacre.
Only to her chagrin, the ghost knew for a fact that her guardian was up there. She felt it. It was a rather odd sensation, but the ghost didn't question it. She had even gone to the vanguard multiple times only to be denied by Ikora or Zavala, the warlock and Titan vanguards respectively, with long winded tales of how dangerous it was to be on the moon.
Cayde-6, the hunter vanguard, was a different story. The construct knew she could eventually break the exo hunter with enough pestering and pleading. And one day, she was triumphant.
"Look," Cayde started off loud enough for the other vanguards to hear him " I don't wanna hear another word about it!"
"Bu-" the ghost was cut off by the exo
"No," He then lowers his voice to where only the ghost can hear "Meet me at the ramen shop" Cayde-6 points towards its direction with his thumb. Rasing his voice he added "Now get outta here!"
The ghost plays along "Yes sir." In a depressed tone. She then leaves the vanguards to their work.
Ikora was stunned, "Cayde... How did you do that?"
"I told her that if she went up to the moon, the hive would turn her light into their equivalent of spicy ramen noodles." The blue exo replied.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Zavala mumbled too inaudibly for neither Cayde nor Ikora to hear.
After an unspecified amount of cartoonishly long seconds, the ghost met Cayde-6 at the ramen shop. Cayde was in full on business mode, so he cut to the chase. "You can go up there, but you aren't getting any help, UNLESS you somehow manage to find your guardian AND run into trouble... So what are you waiting for?"
The ghost without even enough time to say anything was dumbfounded. "Uh...Ok?... I'll just go now..." She felt a little awkward and a little rushed by the blue exo, but she didn't bother, the ghost 'nodded' her thanks and left to find her guardian. Inwardly, she sighed and prayed to the Traveler that this would hopefully go well.
Although Cayde did what he had to do, their "business" was not as secret as he would have hoped. Several footsteps and a "Finally gave in, Eh?" From the Guardian they belonged to were heard.
