Despite Dead Orbit's precautions, the Last City was taken unaware when Ghaul invaded with the [[Red Legion]]. Jalaal successfully evacuated the City during the invasion and helped the other survivors. After the City was liberated and the Traveler reawakened, Jalaal returned to the City and attended a meeting of the Consensus, which was now leaderless following the death of the [[Speaker]] during the war. [[Ikora Rey]] proposed that they create a system to chose a replacement for the Speaker, which Jalaal noted would likely take some time considering the conflicts between all the members of the Consensus. In response to Jalaal's concerns, Zavala declared that until then they would all have to work together to govern the Last City.<ref name="PBC">'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Activision Blizzard - [[Weapons|Weapon lore]]: [[Peace by Consensus]]''</ref> | Despite Dead Orbit's precautions, the Last City was taken unaware when Ghaul invaded with the [[Red Legion]].

Jalaal later traveled to the Reef in his personal ship to request a meeting with Regent-Commander [[Petra Venj]], but was taken off-guard when Awoken patrol ships with stealth technology halted him before his arrival to the Reef. He relayed a request for a meeting through the pilots, and reflected on how when Petra was stationed by Queen [[Mara Sov]] at the Tower she had wanted nothing more than to get back to the action and wondered if she regretted such wishes now. However, he also considered her correct in believing that space was where the true struggle was, and that if Dead Orbit had been in charge he would have had a true fleet prepared to meet Ghaul. His request for a meeting was approved, and Jalaal was surprised again when Petra met him at the transmat zone instead of an office, although he approved of her lack of theater. As they greeted each other he felt a small telekinetic pressure on his throat and wondered how strong Petra's powers were. She asked how he felt being back home, while Jalaal countered that by asking how she felt being Regent-Commander. She assured him it was temporary, and began informing him that she would be willing to provide labor and specialists for shipbuilding if Jalaal could find a safe shipyard, but he cut her off and informed Petra he was not here seeking shipwrights, but salvage rights to the debris field in orbit of Saturn caused by the [[Battle of Saturn|destruction]] of the Awoken fleet by Oryx's flagship. Jalaal reassured her all the bodies Dead Orbit found would be returned to the Reef, and apologized for bringing up the matter during a time of mourning while noting that the debris did no good being left for the Fallen or to fall into Saturn's gravity well. Petra questioned if he mourned the Queen's apparent demise, being an Earthborn, and Jalaal truthfully told her that he had respected Mara but disliked how she felt entitled to the Awoken, and that he had returned from the Distributary to aid humanity in finding worlds worthy of their lives. In response, the Regent-Commander left without another word, and Jalaal watched her go as he realized she could not say what she wished to him or lie about why she would not allow the salvage mission, and was instead ignoring the choice altogether. He pitied her and reflected that Petra would never be free of Mara's influence.<ref name="Fleet"/> | Jalaal later traveled to the Reef in his personal ship to request a meeting with Regent-Commander [[Petra Venj]], but was taken off-guard when Awoken patrol ships with stealth technology halted him before his arrival to the Reef.
