After Crow helped prevent a lone Psion with Light-draining technology from assassinating Zavala, Ikora met with her old friend to discuss the event. She found him overlooking the City from his usual place in the Tower courtyard. He did not respond to her initial attempt to start a conversation, so she patiently waited for him to open up. When he did, he revealed that he kept seeing "his" face. Ikora believed he was talking about Cayde, but Zavala revealed that the face haunting him was Uldren's. Ikora was shocked, but hid it as Zavala stated that he had seen him in crowds and in the garden where the Psion attempted the assassination, shouting a warning to him about the assailant. She tried to set his mind at ease as he talked of ghosts and how difficult it would be if Uldren were alive. After a few minutes of silence he stated that they would know if he was, and Ikora sensed the hidden question behind his statement. Seeing how tired he was and knowing he would trust any answer she gave, Ikora reassured him that they would know. As they stared out over the Last City together, Ikora felt tremendous guilt for lying to Zavala about Crow's identity and the ever-widening gulf between the two of them.<ref name="TRD"/>

====Seeking the Light Kell====
{{Quote|Come. Shelter in our city - you and your people."<br>"Ikorakel, can you offer the Eliksni such a thing?"<br>"I just did. You'll be under the Vanguard's protection. The Vex are the enemy here, and any Lightbearer who disagrees can take it up with me.|Ikora and Mithrax}}
The day after the second [[Guardian Games]] came to a close, the Last City was suddenly plunged into an [[Endless Night]] as the [[Vex]] activated a simulation that encompassed the entire city and drained its energy. Consulting with Osiris, the two determined that the situation was out of their depth to handle, but Ikora's former mentor suggested that they turn to [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]], the Eliksni Kell of the [[House of Light]] and a [[Splicer]] whose knowledge of machines was greater than that of any in the Last City. Prepared to do anything to save the Last City, Ikora contacted the Young Wolf and asked them to track down Mithrax and secure his aid against the Vex. She informed them that her Hidden had last reported Mithrax was on Europa aiding Variks in evacuating Eliksni who wished to escape from House Salvation, but faced opposition from remnants of that House and from the Vex.<ref name="TLS">'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[The Lost Splicer]]''</ref>
When the Young Wolf arrived on Europa, Ikora directed them to a cave beneath the ruins of [[Eventide Ruins|Eventide]] where she was picking up signals that were possibly from Eliksni refugees. She ordered them to be clear that they were not a threat to them unless they needed to be. However, the cave was surrounded by Vex and abandoned by the time the Young Wolf arrived, although they did discover a message from Mithrax directing survivors to the [[Asterion Abyss]] for evacuation. Ikora tracked a [[Fallen Skiff]] in that region, and as her friend headed there Ikora noted that it was a bad time to ask Mithrax for a favor, as he was busy saving as many Eliksni as possible, but reflected that he and House Light still worshipped the Traveler and might be willing to help. They found the Skiff was shot down by Vex and Ikora ordered the Young Wolf to seek out Mithrax within the Abyss. Upon locating him, Ikora greeted him across the comms and noted it was an honor to finally meet him, noting that she had been seeking him out for some time. The Kell admitted he had remained hidden from her and House Light's enemies, and when Ikora requested his aid he was weary of abandoning his people to deal with the Endless Night. Requesting aid in blinding the Vex in that region, Ikora agreed that the Young Wolf would do whatever was required of them.<ref name="TLS"/>
Ikora was astounded when Mithrax opened a pathway into [[The Outer Nexus]] of the Vex network with his Splicer abilities for the Young Wolf to traverse, and the Kell explained that this was where they Vex kept their most heavily guarded secrets and assets. After the Young Wolf killed a [[Subjugated Curator|curator]] and took its [[Paradome Cube|living data]] for analysis, Ikora detected that Vex signals were disappearing from the region all around them. As Mithrax granted them the data for study while he sought safety for his people, Ikora told him that she wished for those who died in the Skiff to be the last people he lost. She offered him and the House of Light safety within the Last City. The Kell was astounded by the offer and wondered if she could give it. Ikora vowed that they would have the Vanguard's protection and that anyone who disagreed with that could take it up with her, reassuring Mithrax who gratefully accepted the offer.<ref name="TLS/>
