The Crown was shipped aboard the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'' along with Calus's scribe [[Amsot]], numerous Psion Councilors and [[Katabasis]] in preparation for its grand experiment, which was to happen at the planet-sized Darkness anomaly located where [[Mars]] once was. Once the Glykon reached the anomaly, the councilors placed their hands on the Crown and focused their cognition through it.

His Psion cohort [[Qinziq]] had formulated a plan to return the Glykon out of the anomaly by severing the Crown's connection to the Scorn. Katabasis, along with Qinziq, [[Bahr'Toran]] and fifteen of their soldiers stormed the ship's bridge where they made their last stand against waves of Scorn. Qinzig attemped to sever the connection with the Egregore-infested Crown, only to cry out in agony as she was engulfed in black flames and subsequently perishes on the spot.<ref name="ENTRY 10">'''Bungie (2019/02/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]]'', ''Lore:[[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 10 - Blood in the Barrel|ENTRY 10 - Blood in the Barrel]]''</ref> The remainder of the Loyalists would all die at the hands of the [[Locus of Communion]], with Katabasis killing his [[Ghost]] [[Gilgamesh]] before his final death.<ref name="ENTRY 12">'''Bungie (2019/02/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]]'', ''Lore:[[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 12 - Debtor's Knife|ENTRY 12 - Debtor's Knife]]''</ref> | ||
