Following the Guardians besting Calus, yet failing to stop the Witness from using the Veil in creating a connection with the Traveler, they would nonetheless continue to aid the Cloud Striders in defending Neomuna from both the Shadow Legion and the Vex, mainly against the latter from entering the CloudArk. However, Nimbus, the sole Cloudstrider left after the sacrifice of Rohan in the fight against Calus, struggled in bearing the burden alone but believed he could carry on Rohan's work by following his notes about the Black Garden, enlisting the aid of Osiris and the Guardian. They learn that Rohan actually managed to sneak into the Black Garden without the Sol Divisive noticing and had theorized that the Heart of the Black Garden was actually a prototype of a Vex effort to create a copy of The Veil. Despite the Heart's destruction years ago, Nimbus and Osiris believes that the Sol Divisive would keep information on the Heart's creation in one of the Vex Minds, which would possibly give the Vanguard a means to enter the portal the Witness had created upon the Traveler. Though Nimbus wanted to partake in the journey, Osiris believed their duty is to Neomuna and should let the Guardian complete the mission, to which Nimbus reluctantly complied with. The passkey allows the Guardian to enter the Black Garden undetected as hoped but as they venture deeper, the Sol Divisive are alerted to an intruder's presence which turned out to be Nimbus, much to Osiris's annoyance. However, as the Guardian chases after Nimbus, they find the Sol Divisive under assault by the Taken leading Osiris to speculate that The Witness is looking to cover all its tracks thereby ordering the [[Conceptual Mind]] bearing the information on the Heart to be destroyed, something which the Sol Divisive refused to do, leading to the Taken to be given the task instead. Despite this complication, the Guardian reach Nimbus after he had found a Cloud Strider's weapon, [[Deterministic Chaos]], and finally convince Nimbus to return to Neomuna where they are needed before giving The Guardian the weapon. With their new weapon, the Guardian clears through the Vex before reaching the Conceptual Mind they were looking for. Despite the Sol Divisive Vex's efforts, the Guardian managed to destroy the Conceptual Mind and retrieve it's data core, leading the Taken to clear out, which is given to Osiris for study to which they hope that the Heart's blueprint will help them in understanding The Veil.

Later on, the Guardians would encounter a strange Vex that began sending messages for "assistance" before sending them deep within the Vex Network. As they gathered data and were guided by Mithrax, the Guardians spot trace images of Asher Mir, who has been missing since Io was taken by The Witness during the Black Fleet's initial arrival years prior. Nonetheless, after following Asher's instructions through the Vex Network, the Guardians managed to acquire data that the Vex intended to destroy before encountering [[Variant Stalker Brakion, Repurposed Mind]]. Despite the Vex Mind's power, the Guardians succeeded in destroying Brakion and finalized the data, allowing them to gain a new powerful weapon, [[Vexcalibur]].

Despite the Vex Mind's power, the Guardians succeeded in destroying Brakion and finalized the data, allowing them to gain a new powerful weapon, [[Vexcalibur]]. Ultimately, the gathering of all of Asher's data would reveal that he had been studying and eventually constructed a virtual Veil, a feat done as he spied on both the Vex and the Pyramids from within the Network. However, with all the data, it would be Asher's final sacrifice as for the Guardian to gain this valuable data, he had to sacrifice his individuality, getting swept into the current of the Network.


Sometime later, the Guardian would be called upon by [[Quinn Laghari]], the chief archivist of Neomuna's [[Hall of Heroes]], stating that after the Veil was used by Calus, Neomuna's defenses went through a reboot which ultimately allowed the Vex to infiltrate the Hall of Heroes and vandalize some of the monuments to the past Cloud Striders. With the Guardian's help, they not only restore the monuments but also learn that the Vex are looking for something within the CloudArk, "The Occlusion", as referred to by the first Cloud Striders. After thwarting the Vex's attempt to breach the CloudArk, the Guardian and Quinn learn that the Vex's actual goal is to reclaim a Vex Mind of theirs, [[Soteria]], which has been resting within the CloudArk since Neomuna's founding but has no true intent to return to the Vex, having come to enjoy the "quiet" of being away from the collective. Despite this revelation, the Guardian and Quinn save Soteria from being taken back by the Vex, to which the Vex Mind expresses its gratitude and informs them that an enemy of The Witness lies imprisoned on Titan.
