Contacting the Young Wolf at the [[H.E.L.M.]], Saladin briefed them on their first mission. He complimented them on their first victory over Caiatl's forces on [[Nessus]] and noted that [[Osiris]] had informed him that they had interrupted a Cabal ritual known as the [[Rite of Proving]], which Osiris had compared to the [[Crucible]], although Saladin did not see the similarities. He noted that the remnants of the [[Red Legion]] sought to earn Caiatl's favor through the Rite and that that would exploit that by challenging every contender for the Empress's [[War Council]] and prevent any seats from being filled, preventing the Cabal from reorganizing and starting another full-scale war. Thanks to a report from Crow, Saladin had their next target lined up: [[Basilius the Golem]], who was seeking [[Golden Age]] relics on [[Europa]] to offer to Caiatl in hopes of augmenting Cabal forces with cybernetic and [[Exo]] tech. Saladin ordered the Young Wolf to stop this plot and prevent the Cabal from creating an army of Exo-Legionaries.<ref name="CPB"/> After Basilius's elimination, Saladin sent a message to the Young Wolf complimenting them on their efforts, but expressed frustration at Zavala's determination not to enter into total war against the Cabal. They would thus continue targeting other commanders vying for a seat on the Council and deal a death of a thousand cuts to the Cabal.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/debriefing Debriefing]''</ref> | Contacting the Young Wolf at the [[H.E.L.M.]], Saladin briefed them on their first mission.

Saladin soon learned that [[Val Ma'rag]] was leading a Cabal assault against the [[Hive]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] in revenge for the [[Fall of Torobatl]] to the Hive God of War [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. Briefing the Young Wolf, Saladin ordered them to eliminate Ma'rag before he could achieve his objective and earn a place on Caiatl's War Council. Saladin was concerned that a victory by the Imperial Cabal in the Cosmodrome would lead more Cabal there to establish a Firebase, threatening a region which regularly produced new Guardians from Ghosts searching the ruined shipyard.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving II]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/war-table-challengers-proving-ii-2 Challenger's Proving II 2]</ref> After Ma'rag's elimination, Saladin sent a message to the Young Wolf informing them that Caiatl's push into the Sol System had been halted thanks to their counter-assaults and Crow's intel gathering. He again noted that Zavala would not authorize a larger scale conflict and that there were still more commanders seeking to join Caiatl's council, advising that they keep hitting them until the Cabal could not regain their footing.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving II]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/war-table-challengers-proving-ii Challenger's Proving II]</ref>}} | Saladin soon learned that [[Val Ma'rag]] was leading a Cabal assault against the [[Hive]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] in revenge for the [[Fall of Torobatl]] to the Hive God of War [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]].

Crow soon reported that the Psion [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] was leading incursions into [[Vex]] territory on Nessus seeking to use their prediction engines to gain knowledge of the future and offer it to Caiatl for a spot on the War Council. Consulting with Osiris on the Vex, Saladin came to understand that the Cabal gaining Vex technology could end poorly for humanity. Saladin briefed the Young Wolf on the situation and was concerned that Ixel could give the Cabal the advantage over them or possibly unleash destruction on everyone by messing with Vex technology. He ordered them to hit the Cabal hard to ensure they never attempted to steal from the Vex again.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving III]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/battleground-oracle Battleground: Oracle]''</ref> Although Ixel was eliminated, three other Psions escaped with Vex data. Saladin was angered that the Vex had managed to steal data on his watch and was concerned about what Osiris was doing with the information they recovered from the mission. He warned the Young Wolf to stay on guard, as he was sure the Psions would hit them soon with whatever they stole.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving III]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/debriefing-6 Debriefing 6]''</ref>}} | |||
