Ultimately, Caiatl's psion learned from the Lucent Hive's minds that the Lucent Brood are planning on seizing control over the [[Scarlet Keep]] from Xivu Arath's forces and make the center point of a ritual to summon an invasion force to attack Earth using Light they had stolen from slain Guardians. With Caiatl's fleet in position surrounding the Keep, the Guardians fight their way to the ritual's center and slay the Lucent leaders, thwarting the invasion. However, expecting Crow to lend support, the scout was no where to be found and Zavala would learn, to his dismay, that despite Saladin's lessons, Crow still disagreed with the method in how the Vanguard gained the necessary intel, leading him to recklessly shut down the machine keeping the hive in their deathless state, which unwittingly killed Caiatl's psion in the process. Empress Caiatl learns of this and, enraged, demands Crows life in accordance with Cabal justice. | Ultimately, Caiatl's psion learned from the Lucent Hive's minds that the Lucent Brood are planning on seizing control over the [[Scarlet Keep]] from Xivu Arath's forces and make the center point of a ritual to summon an invasion force to attack Earth using Light they had stolen from slain Guardians.

In the Tower Hanger, presiding over Crow's actions, Zavala, while not wanting to jeopardize the Vanguard's growing alliance with the Cabal, is unwilling to hand over Crow to the empress. Though Crow resigns himself to his fate, Saladin steps in and offers his own life in exchange. Commending the Iron Lord's bravery in the face of death, Empress Caiatl agrees but has him become a bracus on her war council for the rest of his days. Though Crow attempts to appeal to Zavala, the Vanguard Commander silences him. Though saddened to see his old friend and mentor leave, Zavala is nonetheless grateful that his actions saved the Vanguard's alliance with the Cabal. | In the Tower Hanger, presiding over Crow's actions, Zavala, while not wanting to jeopardize the Vanguard's growing alliance with the Cabal, is unwilling to hand over Crow to the empress.

Zavala would also provide tactical aid to the Guardians as they investigated the rise of Cabal desertion within Caiatl's ranks at the Empress's request. After a series of raids on a base overseen by the deserters, the Guardians, Zavala and Caiatl would deduce that the deserters are being led by the traitor [[Yirix]], the psion who orchestrated the assassination attempt on Zavala. Further, they learn that Yirix's operations are likely being funded by Calus, Caiatl's father, after finding treasure that was located on the Leviathan. | |||
