It wasn't until dawn that he had started to hear chatter on his radio pop back up as he neared the site of the Vex timegate. Shiro is probably already there waiting for me to show up, he won't be expecting me so early so I guess I can check around the area for any other signs of Vex activity. Balon had thought to himself. It took him around 3 hours but after circling the entire perimeter he had finally found something else, a note on a Vex hobgoblin's head reading the words, "Find me in the timestream if you would like to know more about the Vex and their secrets, I can even teach you a thing or two about how to traverse the void, just remember, the Vex have no hope. No imagination, no drive, no fear. All they have is the pattern. Everything must fit. If it can be made to fit, good. If it can't, it gets cut away. Don't get cut away". Very strange indeed that a note like this would be here in the middle of nowhere, especially with no context of what is being talked about, almost like this was meant for someone. Balon had thought to himself, he finally decided that his search was concluded and headed towards the cave where Shiro would be. He had just met up with him outside the cave, around them were the bodies of Fallen that he and the Stranger had killed. "Impressive work Guardian, you took out quite a few from outside the cave, must of took a while." Shiro had said looking impressed at Balon's work. "Yea, took me around half an hour to clear out all the Fallen around here, but I managed just fine." Balon had said wanting to keep the Stranger's presence unknown, it just felt like the right thing to do as she clearly didn't want to get involved with the Vanguard. "Well anyways I was looking at the timegate and it seems functional, which is unfortunate because that means they can come through anytime." Shiro had said, "So what do you make of the situation, how do we shut this down before it grows to big?" Balon had asked. "Simple, we get some guardians to go through and rig up explosives on the other end, that should work." Shiro had said, almost like he had done this before which Balon knew that no one in the Tower has had to do before. "Do we really think that will stop it?" He had again asked. "Most likely, but it's worth a shot, I'll call up Ikora and get her to send her 'hidden' out here to get this done." Shiro had said. Better hope this works.
