'Hold on for a second, if words can be weapons,

Then what I say can effect it, they're not just words on a record.

And I can choose to respect it, or choose to infect it.

But once that hits the water, it's too late to be selective.'

My name is Eli_8300, I am a human titan, a truly nameless soldier, and an honorary member of The Mercury Guardians, and this is our story.

The tower, the last place of hope. Filled with Guardians, rushing about, restocking on supplies, buying the latest armor, exchanging engrams, or even taking a break from the war. None here for the same reason as I. I rarely am caught around the Tower, I try my best to stay in the field of battle, scavenging for supplies, surviving. But this was different. My presence was requested by the Vanguard. All I know is they wanted me to do a search and eliminate mission. A high value target. As to why they couldn't just send it to my ghost as a patrol mission I don't know. Either way, I was preparing for the worst, they probably just wanted me to take on another apprentice, even if I gave the last one PTSD for the traumatic experience of the wilderness.

I began walking into the hanger, deciding I was going to speak to Jalaal before visiting the Vanguard. Jalaal is a die hard live fast kind of guy for the Dead Orbit Faction, only one other rivaled him for their loyalty to Dead Orbit. That would be me. I always did anything and everything to do the best I could for the cause. We exchanged words and then I parted ways.

I continued in thought towards the Hall of Guardians or whatever they call it. The home of the Vanguard. Upon entering the Vanguard's area all eyes turned on me, Zavala, Ikora, Cayde, and two other guardians. Two Hunters, a man and a woman, humans.

"Well ain't this a great welcome home party." I said sarcastically.

"Oh so we get a witty Titan as our partner for this?" asked one of the hunters, the female, "We don't need him, we are the best."

"Oh really?" I said laughing, "Then how come everybody we is somebody has heard of the Forgotten but not you fools?"

"The Forgotten? Must be a reason for that," Said the female, "Looks like you weren't needed."

"SHUT UP." Lord Shaxx said behind us, "I need not exert myself further do I?"

"I don't know, maybe maybe not." I said slyly, "I mean all I see you do is sit here in this God forsaken Tower."

Lord Shaxx then approached me and stood inches away, face to face. The man being slightly taller than me. "Guardian you WILL treat me with respect, and when I tell you to do something, you do it." He said very plainly.

"Who the hell do you think you are that you can control my actions?" I said, "You're just a crucible master. A useless tool."

As soon as I finished Shaxx slammed my head into the nearby concrete wall, I reacted by tripping the man and climbing on top of him, throwing blows after blows to his helmet. I would have shattered the helm if the Vanguard hadn't intervened. Zavala holding Shaxx back, Cayde holding me, all I knew is that I scared them, Cayde had obvious fear in his eyes, and he was a damn Exo.

"I will speak to you three later, I will tell you where to meet soon." Zavala told me and the two hunters.

With that I left the hall, returning to my ship, while heading there I could feel the presence of the two Hunters trailing me. Stalking me. As I entered the Hangar I took a detour to visit with Jalaal again, buying new Exodus chest and boot armor pieces. My Hesperos armor was all but destroyed but I kept the gauntlets as they are my favorite, along with my Endling Helm which I wasn't wearing.

The hunters still followed.
