After the Guardian destroyed the Black Heart of the Garden, the Tower celebrated this great victory. The Stranger traveled to the [[Tower]] and met with the Guardian within the hanger, noting that while the [[Speaker]] could give his pretty speeches, they both knew that the fight would continue out in the solar system. Handing them her [[The Stranger's Rifle|rifle]], the Stranger warned that there were more terrible things that she had witnessed being born out in the Darkness which drew closer every day. Gazing at the Traveler, she noted that while this was the end of one chapter of the Darkness that threatened humanity, another would begin and that their fight was far from being over. With that cryptic warning, the Stranger stepped out of the ledge of hanger, disappearing once more as she teleported away to continue her own mission and fight.<ref name="Garden">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Black Garden]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
The Stranger appears in the following missions during cutscenes:
*"[[A Guardian Rises]]"
*"[[The Dark Beyond]]"
*"[[Chamber of Night (mission)|Chamber of Night]]"
*"[[A Stranger's Call]]"
*"[[The Black Garden]]"
In the mission [[A Stranger's Call]], she was talking to an unknown person or group of persons, whose identity has yet to be revealed. Additionally, according to the flavor text of the last quest step in the "Not Forged From the Light" quest, [[Praedyth]] or his Ghost may have seen her at some point. This is implied to have been a recurring occurrence.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/classified-30 Talk to Lakshmi-2]''</ref> While she is completely absent in the Taken King campaign, she plays a pivotal role in investigating the odd fate of Praedyth and the effects [[Oryx]] brought to the Vex. Eventually her rifle, not worn but enhanced by time itself, surfaces in the hands of the [[Future War Cult]] researchers as [[No Time to Explain]], who give it to the Guardian. With contradictory clues on the rifle's origin, the truth behind it may never be known.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary_Weapons#No_Time_To_Explain|No Time To Explain]]''</ref>
