About a week later, the Vanguard discover that Calus' forces have rebuilt their base quicker than anticipated, forcing them to travel back to the bunker and shut down the broadcasts again. Caiatl expresses that if her father is able to convince her psions to defect en masse, then their ability to wage psychic war will be unmatched. Despite the defectors efforts, the Guardian is able to destroy the broadcast towers and reenter the facility. Reaching the control room, the Guardian faces off against Qabix once more and managed to defeat him before an orbital bombardment could commence. After shutting down the broadcast, Caiatl looks into the message and, this time, sees a scene of violence, along with herself, realizing that what she is seeing is the failed attempt on Commander Zavala's life, through the eyes of the assassin, and the memory of his death at Caiatl's hands. From this message, Empress Caiatl is able to deduce that only one psion would be left alive to have such intimate knowledge of the event: the traitor [[Yirix]] and her enclave. | About a week later, the Vanguard discover that Calus' forces have rebuilt their base quicker than anticipated, forcing them to travel back to the bunker and shut down the broadcasts again.

Now knowing the identity of their foe, the Vanguard works on disrupting her operations as much as possible, leading the Guardians to attack another base sending out psion propaganda that are eroding Caiatl's legions. The Guardians enter the bunker and battle with an Insurgent Psion once more before shutting down the broadcast. In the message, Caiatl can see a group of psions conducting a religious ceremony, during a time before they were assimilated into the Cabal Empire, leading the empress to believe that Yirix is attempting to stir a sense of forgotten | Now knowing the identity of their foe, the Vanguard works on disrupting her operations as much as possible, leading the Guardians to attack another base sending out psion propaganda that are eroding Caiatl's legions. The Guardians enter the bunker and battle with an Insurgent Psion once more before shutting down the broadcast. In the message, Caiatl can see a group of psions conducting a religious ceremony, during a time before they were assimilated into the Cabal Empire, leading the empress to believe that Yirix is attempting to stir a sense of forgotten Psion unity, under the banners of Calus and the Black Fleet. The Empress would find this message ridiculous as the psions had long subjugated such beliefs themselves before the cabal conquered them. | ||
The Guardian would return to storm the base after Yirix resumes to spread her messages amongst the Legions, leading tensions to run high amongst the Psions and defections to occur. With Calus's cloning operations in full swing, the loss of life is of no concern, regardless of how many times the base is taken or destroyed, as Caiatl would comment. After defeating the Insurgent Psion and shutting down the broadcast once more, Caiatl sees the latest of Yirix's messages, which shows the same message over and over again, flashing almost too quickly to perceive. However, Caiatl is able to deduce that the messages must actually be Psion divination, impressions of things yet to come. In them, Caiatl can see the Last City besieged, [[Eramis|The Shipstealer]] revived, the Leviathan reborn and the Traveler itself infected with Darkness. Realizing that these are the futures their enemies seek, Caiatl reaffirms that they must remain united if they wish to forge a different path. | The Guardian would return to storm the base after Yirix resumes to spread her messages amongst the Legions, leading tensions to run high amongst the Psions and defections to occur.
