Elisabeth Bray: Difference between revisions

As the Guardians mastered their abilities with Stasis, handled other threats to the Sol System, made alliances for the greater good, all to prepare for the return of the Witness, the true leader of the Black Fleet and prevent another Collapse, Elsie remained on Europa. However, Elsie would learn of Ana's efforts to restore Rasputin, the Warmind that was left incapacitated after the Black Fleet's initials arrival, but to fully repair the Warmind, Ana had to seek the aid of Clovis Bray I himself. Elsie arrived to provide aid and argue against Clovis's involvement to Ana at the H.E.L.M., where their grandfather's AI conscience had been transferred to a prototype Exo. Though Ana agrees that Clovis cannot be fully trusted, she nonetheless states that he has the knowledge needed to repair Rasputin and regain control over the Warsat Network before [[Xivu Arath]] and her [[Wrathborn]] seize control and turn the Warmind's arsenal on the Last City. Though Elsie concedes to her sister's plan, she nonetheless remains extremely wary of their grandfather, allowing the Guardians to proceed with their mission.

After gathering the submind data of Charlemagne and Malayahati, Elsie would craft a plan for the Guardian to infiltrate Seraph Station itself and have them plant a malware virus within the station's mainframe, in preparation for when Rasputin will be ready to upload itself and assume control over the Warsat Network. After using the launch facility to get themselves onto the station, Elsie and Ana would guide the Guardian through the facility, finding it infested with Xivu's Hive and Eramis's Fallen, their splicers being used to aid Xivu Arath in seizing control over the network. However, the Guardian would hit a dead end, forcing Elsie to think of a workaround. She would discover that a captain of Eramis was personally instructed to bring the Guardian to her alive and found this the perfect way to reach Nexus Control, the main hub of the station. Elsie instructs the Guardian to surrender themselves to the Fallen, allowing them to board their Ketch, break free and get back onto the station, bypassing any security. Much to Elsie's amusement, the Fallen bought their ruse, allowing the Guardian to proceed with the mission. At Nexus Control, the Guardian would confront an old foe, [[Praksis]], now raised as a Scorn in service to Xivu Arath. Despite Praksis' efforts, the Guardians succeeded in slaying him again, uploading the malware virus before escaping.

When it was found out weeks later by Ana and Rasputin that Eramis had discovered the back door virus the Guardian implanted in Seraph Station, removed it, and planned to activate the "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE" protocol in order to destroy the Traveler with the Warsats, Rasputin ultimately decided to sacrifice himself by tasking the Guardian to insert the Pillory Engram containing him into Seraph Station and trigger the self-destruct sequence in order to prevent the activation of the protocol by Eramis. Ana objected to this, but Rasputin told her that it’s the only way, citing it as his purpose as a shield rather than as a weapon. After the Guardian fights their way through Seraph Station, dealing with both Eramis's Fallen and Xivu Arath's Hive, as well as Eramis herself before she retreated during their fight, the Guardian arrived at the Warmind integration core. There, they uploaded Rasputin in his engram form to the station as they fought off [[Ir Garza, Scourge of Earth]]. The Guardian eventually slew Ir Garza, and Rasputin is fully uploaded into the station. The Traveler began to depart Earth, and as it exited into Earth's outer orbit, Eramis activated the network to target the Traveler. With the sacrifice order ready, Ana remained extremely reluctant to pull the plug on Rasputin, but a final plea and reminder from him finalized her decision, activating the protocol and ending Rasputin. Ana fell to her knees in tears, and Elsie comforted her grieving sister by hugging her before noticing something strange: The Traveler didn't flee as originally believed, remaining in Earth's orbit as the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]] approached Earth.

She would get into one last argument with Clovis after the Guardian returned to Europa to keep the Exoscience Labs secure from the Hive who still clung to the icy moon. The scientist expressed disappointment that the Guardians had "thrown away" one of humanity's greatest weapons and that had they not turned on him, he could've kept them safe. Elsie shoots back that Clovis had not been protecting humanity but falling into their enemies' hands, again and once more, he fails to learn from his mistakes. She ends the argument expressing regret in not letting him die on the operating table.
