The months following Cayde's death and the subsequent events in the Reef left the Vanguard uncertain about their future direction. Ikora believed that her and Zavala's grief over the loss of Cayde, combined with their additional duties helping govern the Last City since the Speaker's demise, had impacted their ability to lead and shaken confidence in them amongst the Guardians. She and Zavala felt that their primary duty as warriors was not being met by their position and both considered potentially stepping down from their respective positions to let new leadership arise, or even disband the Vanguard entirely. Ikora informed her Hidden of these discussions, but noted that such drastic action would not be taken without consulting them, the Consensus, and the rest of the Guardians, but also instructed them to take whatever action they felt necessary if they believed the Vanguard had begun to do more harm than good. In the meantime she and Zavala sought to find a Hunter to assume Cayde's place in the Vanguard, as the terms of his Dare granting the position to whomever was responsible for his death led them to disregard it lest they be forced to offer the position to [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]], who had been responsible for manipulating Uldren and the Scorn. Instead, they wished to gather the most capable Hunters together and find a worthy candidate amongst them, although all the Hunters who would be qualified had fled the Tower to avoid being considered for the dreaded position.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | The months following Cayde's death and the subsequent events in the Reef left the Vanguard uncertain about their future direction.

Ikora learned from Master [[Rahool]] that one of his students, [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil]], had become obsessed with the [[Nine]]. When she received an alert that Lavinia had broken into the ruins of the Tower, she arrived to find two New Monarchy Guardians attacking her for stealing an [[Ahamkara]] bone from a secure vault. Outraged that Guardians would attack a mortal, Ikora drove them off and warned them to never assault a normal human again. However, she then turned her fury to Lavinia and demanded she release the bone, which the young Cryptarch did with considerable effort. Ikora warned her that the bone had called her and asked if she made a wish for knowledge about the Nine, but Lavinia stated had been trying to track the bone back to its source and discover why the Nine needed Ahamkara. Curious and angry, Ikora questioned what the young scholar meant, and Lavinia theorized that whatever the Nine got from the wishes they were now getting through Guardians trading with [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine|Xûr]]. Exasperated, Ikora warned Lavinia that if she kept digging there would be consequences, but the Cryptarch pleaded for Ikora to help her and declared she knew the Consensus was covering up connections between the Nine, Ahamkara, the [[Trials of the Nine]], and Ghaul's attack on the Tower. Cutting her off, Ikora offered Lavinia a choice between returning to school and allowing Ikora to forget this incident, or reporting her for the theft and being exiled. The young scholar rejected the offer and vowed to continue her research, leading Ikora to arrest her and eventually have a tribunal exile her from the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | Ikora learned from Master [[Rahool]] that one of his students, [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil]], had become obsessed with the [[Nine]].

When [[Aunor Mahal]] leaked a dozen Hidden reports through the rewards Zavala handed out to Guardians for strike duty, Ikora managed to redact a few before they were read. She later joined Zavala in the Tower's Bazaar as a rainstorm engulfed the City and most citizens sought shelter. As they sat on a building ledge and stared out at the Last City, Ikora informed Zavala of Aunor's actions, and he remarked that Aunor and Ikora were quite similar. Ikora agreed, and when he asked what she wanted him to do about it, Ikora stated Aunor was her agent and she would deal with it, but that Aunor was also quite capable and that they owed her and the rest of the Guardians more than they had been giving them recently. Zavala agreed, but stated the reverse was true as well, causing Ikora to chuckle and note that was correct. However, Ikora believed that they were not providing them with examples that they wanted to follow and that too many Guardians mistrusted them at the moment. Her friend hoped that mistrust would soon pass, but resolved to be better all the same as they stared at the inert Traveler. After a moment of silence, Ikora quietly stated that she wished Cayde was there with them, and Zavala placed a comforting hand on her knee as he sadly echoed that sentiment.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | When [[Aunor Mahal]] leaked a dozen Hidden reports through the rewards Zavala handed out to Guardians for strike duty, Ikora managed to redact a few before they were read.
