After [[Empress Caiatl]] arrived in the [[Sol System]] to reclaim the Red Legion and sought to bring humanity into the Cabal Empire, Amanda was assigned to provide aerial support to a task force led by Lord [[Saladin Forge]] that was dedicated to eliminating Cabal officers seeking to join her [[War Council]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[A Challenger Rises]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-war-table The War Table]''</ref> Among the other members of the task force was a new Hunter called [[The Crow]] whom Amanda began working with on several missions. Following one mission on [[Nessus]], Crow questioned why the Cabal had deployed the [[Imperial Land Tank]] ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' on the rogue planetoid. Amanda told him that the Cabal only ever solved problems with brute force and further explained her experience against the Cabal during the Red War, recalling the burning of the City and the civilians slaughtered by the Red Legion. Crow was unaware of those events, surprising Amanda, and she told him how the Traveler defeated Dominus Ghaul but that they still were fighting them because it was all the Cabal knew how to do.<ref name="Behemoth">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]: [[Behemoth (Battleground)|Behemoth]]''</ref> | |||
When the Cabal sent a force to assault the Hive in the ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]], Amanda was dispatched on a mission to scout their positions. She spotted a Cabal base being set up on the bluffs in the [[Mothyards]] and saw the Hive assaulting their position hard, although they remained dug in. The nearby Cabal frigates did not fire on her, as the Cabal remained entirely focused on the Hive. Returning to the Last City, Amanda filed a report on what she saw and also noted that she had not seen any Cabal civilians, speculating that they were being kept safe on carriers in deep space. She also stated her belief that the Cabal had little interest in conflict with humanity and were instead focused on gaining revenge against the Hive for the [[Fall of Torobatl|fall]] of their [[Torobatl|homeworld]], a sentiment she understood well from the Red War.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[H.E.L.M.]] Radio Message: [[H.E.L.M.#Amanda's_Cosmodrome_Report|Amanda's Cosmodrome Report]]''</ref> During a subsequent engagement between Vanguard forces led by [[Shaw Han]] and the Cabal in the Cosmodrome, Amanda was sent to drop the [[Praxic Order|Praxic]] Titan [[Siegfried]] from her jumpship straight onto an entrenched Cabal position.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[THE SWARM]]''</ref> | When the Cabal sent a force to assault the Hive in the ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]], Amanda was dispatched on a mission to scout their positions.

Amanda was infuriated when a lone Cabal [[Psion]] attempted to assassinate Zavala within the walls of the Last City. Crow noted her agitation and increased aggression against the Cabal after another operation on Nessus and attempted to calm her down. Amanda remained angry, declaring that Zavala was the glue holding the City and Vanguard together and that losing him would be the end of their struggle. Crow asked if she was close to the Commander, and Amanda told him that Zavala and Ikora were like family to her, and that Cayde had been as well and that she still missed him. The new Hunter wished he could have met Cayde, and Amanda reassured him that his killer had got what was coming to them. She asked Crow if he wanted to get drinks when they returned to the City and was surprised to learn that he had never done so before. Amanda became excited about taking Crow out drinking for the first time and warned him to buckle up for a wild time.<ref name="Behemoth"/> | |||
