Now knowing the identity of their foe, the Vanguard worked on disrupting Yirix's operations as much as possible, leading the Guardians to attack another base sending out Psion propaganda that is eroding Caiatl's legions. The Guardians entered the bunker and battled 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. | Now knowing the identity of their foe, the Vanguard worked on disrupting Yirix's operations as much as possible, leading the Guardians to attack another base sending out Psion propaganda that is eroding Caiatl's legions.

The Guardian would return to storm the base after Yirix resumed the spreading of 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 defectors' 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 was able to deduce that the messages must actually be Psion divination, impressions of things yet to come.

In them, Caiatl could see a 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 reaffirmed that they must remain united if they wish to forge a different path. | ||
Unfortunately, despite Caiatl reaffirming the need for the Cabal's alliance with the Vanguard, the death of her Psion due to Crow's recklessness and appointing Lord Saladin as a member of her War Council only angered her critics further, allowing Yirix to bring more into her fold. | Unfortunately, despite Caiatl reaffirming the need for the Cabal's alliance with the Vanguard, the death of her Psion due to Crow's recklessness and appointing Lord Saladin as a member of her War Council only angered her critics further, allowing Yirix to bring more into her fold. | ||
