However, Ada-1 states that some of their best weapons are unavailable as the forges to create them have gone silent as a result of the [[Red War]]. Unable to investigate herself, Ada-1 reluctantly allows the Guardian to investigate on her behalf. Traveling to one of the forges located in the European Dead Zone, the Guardian encounters scores of Fallen belonging to a faction they have not encountered before. Before the Fallen could pilfer the Forge, the Guardian thwarts their efforts and sends them fleeing, allowing them to secure and activate the forge. Ada-1 is grateful and slowly begins to trust the Guardian but worry's that if the forge in the EDZ nearly came under the control of this new faction of Fallen, then the others could be compromised. Thus, despite her reservations, Ada-1 requests the Guardian to investigate and prevent the Fallen from defiling her order's forges.

Returning to the Spider for information on this new faction of Fallen, the mob boss explains that this faction of Fallen calls themselves the [[Kell's Scourge]], led by the Spider's own brother, [[Siviks, Lost to None]]. Originally, the two brothers worked together in running their operations in the Reef but Siviks grew disgusted with the Spider's dealings with the Awoken and Humans, leading to a bitter fallout and Siviks' subsequent imprisonment. Knowing his brother has new and grander ambitions since gaining his freedom, rallying dissenting Fallen and deserting [[House of Dusk]] members, the Spider believes that the theft of the Black Armory is just the start and thus gives his consent to put his mad brother down.

While each of the Forges became secure, Ada-1 worries that Siviks and his syndicate had gained enough of her order's technology to cause additional problems and may be after a bigger prize: the central Black Armory vault, located within the outskirts of the Last City itself.  

{{Quote|Siviks was after much more than simply stealing and abusing our forge. His gaze has turned to our most prized possession: a vault, filled with the finest wares the Black Armory has to offer. Our very soul resides in that vault. It must be secured.|Ada-1.}}

After an immense, chaotic battle that reduces the area to a complete ruin, the forces of the City succeed in destroying Sivik's army and his Prime Servitor monstrosity, saving the Black Armory Vault from falling into the wrong hands. Gathering the Vault's secrets and weapons, the Guardians return them to Ada-1 who expresses her gratitude but cautions them that with Siviks still on the loose, the battle is far from over.

{{Quote|It would appear that Project Niobe's purpose was to develop and produce enhanced prototypes. There are even sketchings. They appear to be some sort of… advanced weapon. One of the pages provides instructions for a vessel! Perhaps we should start there. It's time we discover for ourselves what Siviks is after.|Ada-1.}}
