Ada-1: Difference between revisions

Adelaide Meyrin was born to [[Henriette Meyrin]], a member of the powerful French [[House of Meyrin]]. Overtime her mother became fearful for Adelaide's safety, believing that [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] was luring humanity into a false sense of security.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 10''</ref> Henriette would come together with [[Helga Rasmussen]] and [[Yuki Satou]] to form the weapons foundry known as the [[Black Armory]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 37''</ref>

Unfortunately Adalaide's mother's suspensions of a extraterrestrial threat would be proven true as the [[Black Fleet]] would invade the system.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 67, 68''</ref> Despite the advanced technology that the Black Armory had forged, they would be unable to fend of the Black Fleet's assault, forcing them to retreat into the [[Niobe Labs]]. However the Labs would be attacked by an unknown creature, Adelaide would be fatally injured, while Helga was killed.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 70, 71, 72''</ref> Hoping to save Adelaide, Henriette would agree with Yuki to implant her consciousness into an experimental [[Exo]] frame, becoming Ada-1.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 92, 93, 94, 95''</ref>

Upon being awakened by Henriette and Yuki shortly after burying Helga, Ada's memories were heavily damaged, having little to no memories of who she once was. To find a safe destination, she and the other members of the Black Armory would load trucks with their supplies and make there way to a airport. Along the way they would kill hostile survivors who engaged with them, surviving thanks to their powerful firearms. During their journey, Ada would begin to ask her mother questions, however Henriette would not respond due to the severity of their situation.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 99, 100, 101''</ref>

 

Overtime the group would begin to test Ada's abilities. Serving as their mobile forge, she would construct and upgrade weapons with her bare hands. However they would be ambushed by a [[Lightbearer]]s, who would injure Yuki and kill other members of the Armory. Ada, Henriette, and Yuki would travel through the night to escape the ruthlessness of the Lightbearers.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 104, 105''</ref> Later one of the Lightbearers would catch up with them, desiring Ada due to her forging capabilities. Ada would step forward, willing to sacrifice herself, however Yuki would lie that she had the [[Obsidian Accelerator]] and throw a Grenade at the Lightbearer, killing herself in the process, allowing Ada and her mother to escape.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 108, 109, 110''</ref>

 

Now the last members of the Black Armory, Ada and Henriette would continue to survive in the barren wastelands of Earth, distrustful of any Lightbearers who may step in their way.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 142, 143, 144''</ref> Eventually she and Henriette would arrive at a organized camp at a shoreline, where Ada would enjoy speaking and playing with the children.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 157, 158, 159''</ref> However the camp would be ambushed by Warlords, seeking the Obsidian Accelerator. Henriette removes the Accelerator from Ada and orders her to run.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 170, 171''</ref> Listening to her mother, Ada flees the camp, while Henriette perishes after attempting to fend off the Warlords. Aware that she would die, Henriette made one final entry in her journal addressed to Ada. It revealed to her the truth of how she became an Exo and advised her to learn from the Armorys' successes and missteps. Henriette's final words were of how lucky she was to love her daughter twice.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Final Entry''</ref>
