Not long after her investigation of the Drifter ended, Aunor and a group of Praxic Warlocks confronted [[Shin Malphur]] in a campsite above the salt mines of [[Trostland]]. Shin was about to execute two Guardians he suspected of having gone rogue, and had already killed a third one, when the Praxics interrupted him by killing his hostages and restraining their Ghosts. He and Aunor had a quarrel over their respective ways of handling the issue of corrupted Guardians, the Warlock condemning Shin's unscrupulosity in killing Ghosts and him arguing the Dredgens could not be rehabilitated, for the power of Darkness had already tainted and addicted them. Eventually, Shin begrudgingly agreed to let the Praxics have the Guardians, with a warning that if they ever transgressed again, he would be the one to deliver the judgement.<ref name="The Salt Mines">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Warlock Aunor#The Salt Mines|The Warlock Aunor - The Salt Mines]]''</ref> | Not long after her investigation of the Drifter ended, Aunor and a group of Praxic Warlocks confronted [[Shin Malphur]] in a campsite above the salt mines of [[Trostland]].

Sometime later, | Sometime later, the Praxic Order would find betrayal from within as the Dredgens took Aunor's Ghost Bahaghari as a hostage using a Praxic restraining band. Aunor gave chase to them through the [[Last City]] on her [[Sparrow]], only to be thrown off a bridge and into the water by a rocket fired from a [[Countess SA/2]] launcher from an nearby overpass. She swam to the shore and hijacked a [[Pike]] to get to the overpass, and contacted the Drifter for coordinates of any possible Shadow safehouses in the area. By the time she got to an abandoned warehouse in District 125, the Dredgens had already ransomed Bahaghari, demanding clearance to take their jumpships out of the system by midnight. The Ghost managed to hack the restraining band and contact Aunor, hinting as to where it was being kept and claiming a breach without a team was impossible. Aunor, however, managed to board a maglev train due to pass by the warehouse at midnight and persuade the conductor and passengers to leave before requisitioning it. She drove the train towards where Bahaghari was being kept and, detonating proximity mines placed on the overpass just above the warehouse, derailed the train to have it crash down into the building - freeing her Ghost and killing herself and several Dredgens in the process. Once rezzed, she dealt with the surviving Shadows. Ikora contacted Aunor to express gratitude for her help in handling the Shadows, but stressed that the Drifter and Gambit should continue. Aunor agreed, noting that the City needed his connections and means if he could truly bring [[Orin]] back.<ref name="D125">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Warlock Aunor#District 125|The Warlock Aunor - District 125]]''</ref> She later found the Drifter in a civilian part of the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]] and insisted on having a conversation with him; she thanked for the information on the Shadows he had provided her and admitted to having listened to the tapes he had recorded for his protégé. While pointing out she still considered him a criminal not to be trusted, she admitted that Orin had given him a chance and he might be useful in bringing her back.<ref name="Civilian Atrium South" /> | ||
