Around three years after the [[Red War]], Yirix was stationed at a [[Cabal]] fleetbase on [[Nessus]] when it was visited by emissaries from [[Empress Caiatl]], who was seeking to reintegrate the [[Red Legion]] back into the empire. While working aboard the bridge of the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'' by herself, she sensed another Psion and turned around to discover [[Qinziq]], a [[Loyalists|Loyalist]] of the deposed [[Emperor Calus]], approaching her. The two briefly conversed and came to an understanding that Qinziq needed the [[Cabal Carrier]] for her own plans on behalf of the Psion's future. Yirix prepared to leave the ''Glykon Volatus'' to her and studied the [[Guardian]] [[Katabasis]] and his [[Ghost]] [[Gilgamesh]], servants of Calus who had accompanied Qinziq. She projected feelings of temperance and reassurance of their shared cause towards the Guardian, who had his rifle at the ready, before slipping out of a nearby hatchway to join a crowd of soldiers listening to a speech by one of Caiatl's emissaries.<ref name="CLE3">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain%27s_Log#ENTRY_3_-_Lust_and_Reappropriation_Pt._II|Captain's Log ENTRY 3 - Lust and Reappropriation Pt.

Armed with the Light-draining tech and knowledge of moments they could kill Zavala, Yirix and her conclave set out to enact their vengeance.

===Propaganda Campaign=== | |||
With the advent of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] and Operation Elbrus, the Vanguard discover that a base on Mars after Empress Caiatl's private transmission had been reinforced than anticipated, forcing them to travel back to the bunker and shut down the broadcasts again. 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. In the latest message following the week after, a group of psions conduct 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 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. The messages are revealed to be Psion divinations, 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. | |||

Yirix's loyalty was to the future of the [[Psion]]s above all other matters. To secure that future she joined a conspiracy of Psions who served amongst many Legions, including the Loyalists, and worked in concert with them to achieve their goals.<ref name="CLE3"/> Yirix highly valued revenge against humanity for what she perceived as their crimes against her people and the better future that they had sought for themselves using [[The Sundial]] on [[Mercury]] to alter time in their favor. To achieve her revenge, Yirix turned to secret strikes and assassinations from the shadows, tactics she had once found cowardly and the tools of humanity. She came to believe after the chaos of the Red War that victory did not have to be honorable and the best way to win was to eliminate the leadership of the enemy.<ref name="TP"/> | Yirix's loyalty was to the future of the [[Psion]]s above all other matters.
