{{ | {{Quote|Hawthorne. It's one thing for us to put our lives on the line, but… this doesn't have to be your fight. You're not a..."<br>"A Guardian? You think you've cornered the market on sacrifice? You forget that we've had to survive without the Light, all our lives! Once upon a time, that big white ball in the sky was there for all of us.

Over the next several months, Hawthorne coordinated operations in the EDZ. One of her primary targets was [[Thumos, the Unbroken]], a high-ranking officer in the Red Legion's [[Blood Guard]] who commanded the ''[[Echion Vae]]'', a [[Cabal Carrier|carrier]] docked at [[Firebase Hades]]. She sent one of her best teams to eliminate him, however they were easily killed by the Cabal commander.<ref name="Unbroken">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Unbroken]]''</ref> When the Young Wolf returned to the Farm with the Vanguard, Hawthorne eavesdropped on a meeting between Zavala, [[Ikora Rey]], and [[Cayde-6]] discussing how to get into the Last City and destroy the cage to restore their Light. From the rafters, she interrupted and pointed out the City's walls were full of holes much like the barn they were in and she could help a strike team slip in unseen. Jumping down to join them, Cayde questioned if she was one of his Hunters, but Hawthorne told him she was not a fan of capes. Offering the help of her team, Ikora told her that she should not put her life on the line as she was not a Guardian. Hawthorne grew angry and pointed out that she and the other Lightless had sacrificed and survived their entire lives without being Guardians and now wished to help free the Traveler from its prison. Cayde agreed with her, but noted they also had to deal with ''[[The Almighty]]'' before it destroyed the sun and annihilated the entire system. Hawthorne suggested stealing a ship from Firebase Hades so that the Young Wolf could sneak aboard and destroy it, but that sneaking in would be difficult. Zavala stated that they were done sneaking and would follow Cayde's example by making a grand entrance.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Farm (cinematic)]]''</ref> | Over the next several months, Hawthorne coordinated operations in the EDZ.

As the Young Wolf finished disabling ''The Almighty'' and was on their way back to Earth, Hawthorne led the infiltration effort alongside the three Vanguards. She was impressed by Cayde using his chicken [[Colonel]] as a distraction to eliminate seven Cabal sentries in a row. She and her team took up position outside a fortified Cabal outpost where they intended to set up a stolen [[Vex]] teleporter to reach Ghaul's flagship. Notifying Zavala they were ready, the Commander ordered Ikora to lead her attack team on [[Sparrow]]s to begin the battle. With the Cabal distracted by Ikora's team, Hawthorne led her team in, arriving just in time to save Zavala from a [[Centurion]]. Helping the Commander to his feet, the two watched as Cayde eliminated the Cabal on the roof. She noted that now all they needed was to get Zavala and Ikora up to the Hunter, but the Cabal then activated a barrier that cut off Lord [[Shaxx]]'s team from them. Hawthorne volunteered to deal with the barriers while they continued on, and Zavala wished her luck and addressed her as Guardian.<ref name="Chosen">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Chosen]]''</ref> | As the Young Wolf finished disabling ''The Almighty'' and was on their way back to Earth, Hawthorne led the infiltration effort alongside the three Vanguards.

The Red Legion activated more energy barriers across the City to funnel the strike teams into kill boxes. Hawthorne set out to hack into their power grids and disable them for a brief time, allowing the Guardians and resistance soldiers to move through the streets towards their objectives. After the Young Wolf's ship was shot down before they could reach the Vanguard commanders, Hawthorne contacted them and explained the situation and requested time to get rid of the barriers in their way. After taking down the first barrier, Hawthorne heard Cayde report in distress that the teleporter was almost ready and worried that he would not get it done. Although all three Vanguards were injured defending the teleporter, Cayde did get it working and the Young Wolf successfully used it to reach Ghaul's ship and defeat him while the Traveler awakened and destroyed the Red Legion's commander for good.<ref name="Chosen"/> | |||
