Match: Difference between revisions

When they passed by a battle between one of Ghaul's fleets and [[Hive]] [[War moon]]s in the void of space along the edge of the Empire, Match suggested to the War Councilors that they invite Calus to watch the battle in the hopes that seeing the Hive potentially defeated might raise his spirits. However, he soon realized he made a mistake, as watching Cabal die in a battle to create a buffer-zone in empty space against the Hive went against all that Calus had wished for his people. Additionally, Evocate-General [[Umun'arath]]'s fleets were no longer those that Calus had crafted and been replaced by smaller ships designed only for close-quarters exchanges, further upsetting the Emperor. The deposed Emperor only came to join them due to the value of pretending to care, but Match saw that all this simply reminded him he had no power. Despite this, Match soon found himself engrossed in the battle as he and the other councilors felt [[Psion]]s aboard the Cabal fleet working to hide traps and boarding parties from the Hive. He questioned one of the War Councilors about how to fight the Hive and win against them. She told him that the Hive were vulnerable and not invincible in the ordinary universe, but that they ultimately had no hope to defeat them and could only buy time for those Cabal alive now to live their lives.<ref name="CEII">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|Confessions - Entry II]]''</ref>

Match held a low opinion of the Hive, believing they had no spirit and that their souls were emancipated by their allegiances and [[The Sword Logic|philosophy]], with their worship of death being the only salvation they could find in their bleak existence.<ref name="CEII"/>
