During Rhulk's detainment, countless [[Hive]] [[Ghost]]s had went missing | During Rhulk's detainment, countless [[Hive]] [[Ghost]]s had went missing within his Pyramid, as the intrigued disciple held them captive and routinely experimented with their design and function. At one point, the disciple spoke with one of them plotting to pry its shell for secrets of the [[Traveler]], only for the Ghost to be possessed by someone Rhulk identified as the Adversary (presumably the Traveler itself).

Rhulk's remains were secured by the Guardians and transported by a [[Hidden]] agent named [[Marco]] back to [[The Enclave]] on Mars for study. En route to the Enclave, a motor accident caused Marco's [[Sparrow]] to crash, grievously injuring him with a broken leg and a punctured lung. The container storing samples of the disciple's corpse was cracked against a spar of basalt, and Marco could hear whispers of Rhulk's thoughts echoing from it; suggesting that his consciousness may persist in some form. Black veins emerged from the container to approach Marco's position, infecting his wounds and beginning to heal them, while Marco began to hear the Disciple's voice in his mind. With the last of his willpower, Marco turned his [[Sidearm]] towards the cracked reactor shielding of his broken Sparrow and fired, detonating it in a small nuclear blast which killed Marco and destroyed what remained of the First Disciple for good.<ref name="Gouging Light">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description: [[Gouging Light]]''</ref> | Rhulk's remains were secured by the Guardians and transported by a [[Hidden]] agent named [[Marco]] back to [[The Enclave]] on Mars for study.
