Chapter 2

(4 days ago)

Baris-7 sat in the dock in his favorite spot, a ledge 20ft up that allowed him to observe everything and everyone that entered or exited. Coincidentally, he happened to see Zeph's ship leave the bay(on his way to kill Oryx but Baris-7 didn't know that) and just shrugged, figuring Zeph may have gotten a 'Secret' assignment. Baris-7 jumped thinking he'd heard someone yell his name but figured it was unlikely. Until the shout came again.

"Baaarrrrriiissss, where are you little Bear?" An Awoken female hunter called in a sweet yet annoying high pitched voice, as she skipped around the corner into the bay, earning herself disapproving looks from everyone around and a sigh of disgust from Baris-7, which resembled the sound of tires screeching, just quieter. Baris-7 considered ending that annoying hunter's life with his Suros JLB-47 rocket launcher but decided he didn't want to end up dead, or worse imprisoned. So, against his better judgement, he jumped down from the ledge, landing as if he'd barely fallen an inch, to greet the annoying newbie hunter, Nissa Jareel. "Oh good, I've found you!" Nissa exclaimed, sound a little relieved. "Your Warlock friend sent me to find you cause you weren't answering comms."

Baris-7 new what 'friend' she was talking about. The Warlock she was referring to was a little more than a friend, they were more like extensions of each other, two sides of the same coin. While Baris-7 was more quiet and reserved, the Warlock, Jace Balan, was talkative and open. Jace and Baris-7 had been to hell and back(almost literally a few times) standing back to back or shoulder to shoulder most of the time. Jace was normally an easy going, good tempered guy but Today wasn't a normal day. As Baris-7 walked into Jace's room, followed closely by Nissa, Baris-7 could tell exactly how pissed Jace was, it was evident by the sheer amount of Arc energy crackling around him.

"Calm down Jace." Baris-7 said in his deep baritone voice as he walked up to Jace and placed a hand on his shoulder, completely disregarding the Arc Energy.

"How can I calm down when one of the Warlocks I was assigned to watch, just left to take on Oryx, ALONE." Jace shouted, even more pissed than before. "Ikora has assigned US to go get him." Nissa choked on the water she was drinking, drawing confused looks from Jace and Baris-7.

"Where'd you get the water bottle?" Baris-7 asked Nissa.

"It came with this gun I got from Xur on our way outta the hanger." Nissa responded, slotting the water bottle back into her MIDA Multi-tool.

"You had enough Strange Coins for that?" Jace asked incredulously.

"No." Nissa sighed, "Xur gives me stuff in exchange for a few 'favors'."

"Oh? What kind of 'Favors'?" Baris-7 asked Nissa, narrowing his eyes at her.

"That's none of your business." Nissa snapped defensively. Baris-7 sighed, made a grinding noise, and turned back to Jace. Jace dismissed Nissa with a wave of his and a reminder to meet them at the hanger in 1hr.

Nissa went straight to her room, not to prepare for the trip, but to get the next item Xur had requested. Nissa knew that what she did for Xur wasn't just frowned upon, it could get her locked up and her Ghost taken away. Best case Scenario if she was caught was a swift execution.

Nissa opened the hidden panel in the wall by the vent to retrieve her gear for the next theft. Even in her past life, before she obtained her Hunter abilities, Nissa had been a master thief. Now, with her Hunter abilities, there was no way to catch her, unless you knew how to look. Nissa, now swathed in her stealth gear(including the stealth drive she stole from Cayde), removed the grating to the airvents and climbed inside, resecuring the grate behind her. Slowly and silently, Nissa moved through the vents until she found her target, Eris Morn's room.

According to Xur, Eris had several Hive artifacts she refused to sell to him even though Eris had no use for them. The artifact Xur had sent her to get was the power core to a hive super weapon that Eris had taken out before the weapon had been completely finished. Nissa quietly requested that her ghost scan for any life inside the room. After a thorough scan that came up empty, Nissa silently removed the ceiling grate leading into Eris's room and set it aside Nissa slowly lowered herself into Eris's room, and began looking around for the artifact. Eris's room was a disaster. Papers and folders were strewn everywhere and amidst the papers were random pieces of hive technology, even the bed was covered with stuff, except one spot where Eris obviously slept. Nissa searched every drawer, closet, and cupboard that she could see before looking for secret hiding spots. Within a few minutes she had found 5 or 6 different secret drawers in the walls which each had a collection of artifacts that Nissa proceeded to take a few of. Finally, Nissa found the secret drawer with the strange symbol from the artifact etched onto it. Nissa released the drawer and looked into the drawer, expecting to see the Core. Instead, all she saw was a piece of paper with the words, Looking for something?, written on it. At first, she didn't know what to think or do, but then she heard someone (probably Eris) unlock the door. Faster than a Flash, Nissa shut the drawer and jumped back up into the vent and replaced the grate. Much to her dismay, Eris walked into the room and looked around. Shrugging her shoulders, clearly unable to tell that Nissa had been rummaging around, Eris began removing her armor and clothing. Carefully, so as not to be heard, Nissa moved back from the grate and made her way back to her own room. Nissa climbed out of the vent and stood up, taking a few steps forward, before she was roughly grabbed and pinned to the floor by someone much stronger than the average guardian. Pinned as she was, Nissa was unable to look up at the person that stopped in front of her and removed her bag of stolen artifacts. The contents of the bag were rolled out on the ground in front of her, bringing a familiar grinding sigh from her captor. Then Nissa heard the saddened voice of the last Guardian she wanted to hear right now, Baris-7.

"Eris's hive artifacts? What else have you stolen Nissa."
