When Nasar was revived by her Ghost, one of the first things she did was request that her Ghost give her a name. Accepting Orin to be her new name, she named her Ghost [[Gol]], although she was unsure of what had inspired her to name him that. Gol mentioned a nearby settlement that they could reach by foot in several days, and the threat of roving [[Fallen]] they might have to face. Trusting her Ghost, Orin fashioned a mace out of tree branches and the two moved out, although Gol warned her that the aliens had guns and her improvised weapon might not do much. Unsure of what guns were, Orin was confident that she could crush the skull of any foe with her weapon. Once they reached the settlement, they found it had been destroyed and the residents slaughtered by nuclear weaponry. Upset by the senseless slaughter, Orin asked who was responsible. Gol explained that a [[Warlord]] had likely assaulted the settlement for its livestock and with no one to oppose them, the massacre was the end result. Orin wished to know when the massacre happened and Gol calculated the likely time-frame of the raid was less than thirty-six hours ago. Upset that she had not been fast enough to help, Orin began vomiting as she contracted radiation poisoning. Gol quickly herded her away from the danger zone before she died and became stuck in the irradiated ruins.<ref name="ER">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Risen|Ecdysis - Risen]]''</ref>

Moved by what happened, Orin began a one [[Titan (class)|Titan]] campaign against the local Warlords. Though she had no quarrel with the Fallen, she hunted them to salvage their gear and weapons. Eventually getting her hands on a [[Scorch Cannon]], she became a threat to Risen that have been around longer than her and become a target for mercenaries chasing a price on her head. During a battle with against a gang of six mercenaries, she ran out of ammunition as she spotted elven more Risen arriving and joining the battle. She assumed them to be more enemies and hefted her spent Scorch Cannon to use as a maul. However, the new arrivals were the [[Pilgrim Guard]] and aided her instead. That night Orin camped with them and they laughed over her mistake while drinking tea and eating hardtack.<ref name="EWH">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#War_Hammer|Ecdysis - War Hammer]]''</ref>

The Pilgrim Guard eventually offered her a place with them, and she accepted, being gifted a new war hammer. One day, Orin encountered another Awoken and began questioning her about where they came from, as all other Awoken she had seen were dead or hurriedly departed on jumpships. The young woman knew nothing of their origins, having been revived in the Sinaloan ruins, but one of Orin's friends overheard and told her that her people lived in the [[The Reef|asteroid belt]], but no one could tell her why they were not on Earth. As the decades passed, Orin worked with the Guard, fighting Warlords, defending against Fallen, and protecting civilians. Eventually, the same restlessness that overtook Orin in her days as a reborn Awoken came again. Despite loving her role and her community, she confided in Gol that she was itching for something else, despite not knowing what or why, and felt monstrous for it.<ref name="EWH"/>
