When it was found out weeks later by Ana and Rasputin that Eramis had discovered the back door virus the Guardian implanted in Seraph Station, removed it, and planned to activate the "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE" protocol in order to destroy the Traveler with the Warsats, Rasputin ultimately decided to sacrifice himself by tasking the Guardian to insert the Pillory Engram containing him into Seraph Station and trigger the self-destruct sequence in order to prevent the activation of the protocol by Eramis. Ana objected to this, but Rasputin told her that it’s the only way, citing it as his purpose as a shield rather than as a weapon. After the Guardian fights their way through the Seraph Station, dealing with both Eramis's Fallen and Xivu Arath's Hive, as well as Eramis herself before she retreated during their fight, the Guardian arrives at the Warmind integration core. There, they upload Rasputin in his engram form to the station as they fought off [[Ir Garza, Scourge of Earth]]. The Guardian eventually slays Ir Garza, and Rasputin is fully uploaded into the station. The Traveler began to depart Earth, and as it exited into Earth's outer orbit, Eramis activated the network to target the Traveler. With the sacrifice order ready, Ana remained extremely reluctant to pull the plug on Rasputin, but a final plea and reminder from him finalized her decision, activating the protocol and ending Rasputin. Ana fell to her knees in tears, and Elsie comforted her grieving sister by hugging her before noticing something strange: The Traveler didn't flee as originally believed, remaining in Earth's orbit as the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]] approached Earth. | When it was found out weeks later by Ana and Rasputin that Eramis had discovered the back door virus the Guardian implanted in Seraph Station, removed it, and planned to activate the "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE" protocol in order to destroy the Traveler with the Warsats, Rasputin ultimately decided to sacrifice himself by tasking the Guardian to insert the Pillory Engram containing him into Seraph Station and trigger the self-destruct sequence in order to prevent the activation of the protocol by Eramis.

Elsie would later have a conversation with Ana over the radio, telling her that she was heading back to Europa in order to keep an eye on [[Variks]]. Ana tells Elsie that it was nice working together with her, especially at the end. Elsie reciprocates her sister's words, telling her that she's a broadcast away, and vowing to never abandoning her. Ana then thanks Elsie for trusting her despite her stubbornness and even when she wasn't listening, knowing deep down that all she wanted to do was keeping her safe. Elsie tells Ana that she held on tight because she was afraid of losing her, letting her down, and reliving the same nightmare in her time loops of seeing her sister get corrupted by the Darkness and having to kill her. Elise then profusely apologizes to Ana for all of the times she had failed to save her, but Ana interrupts her in the middle of her apologies by saying that they have each other now. She tells Elsie that while she doesn't know what the future will hold, she knows that they will face it together. Elsie responds to her that she doesn't know what the future holds anymore, and her honest thought of not having the foresight terrifies her. | Elsie would later have a conversation with Ana over the radio, telling her that she was heading back to Europa in order to keep an eye on [[Variks]] and Clovis.

She would get into one last argument with Clovis after the Guardian returned to Europa to keep the Exoscience Labs secure from the Hive who still clung to the icy moon. The scientist expressed disappointment that the Guardians had "thrown away" one of humanity's greatest weapons and that had they not turned on him, he could've kept them safe. Elsie shoots back that Clovis had not been protecting humanity but falling into their enemies' hands, again and once more, he fails to learn from his mistakes. She ends the argument expressing regret in not letting him die on the operating table. | |||

Following Rasputin's sacrifice, the Vanguard and their allies would engage the Black Fleet and the Shadow Legion, servants to the Witness's latest Disciple, Calus. Elsie was present during the battle, overseeing it with the other leaders on the H.E.L.M.. However, despite their efforts and the Traveler actually using its power against the Black Fleet, The Witness subdues it and destroys most of the Vanguard's forces, leaving them helpless as the Shadow Legion was sent to Neptune to locate and acquire The Veil, an paracausal entity mentioned by Rasputin before his sacrifice. The Guardian and Osiris hitched a ride too Neptune to prevent Calus from claiming The Veil but despite their efforts in slaying the Disciple and gaining allies in the citizens of the hidden city of Neomuna, The Witness succeeded in using The Veil to make a connection with the Traveler, allowing it to form a gateway upon it. The Witness and its Black Fleet then entered the gateway, leaving Elsie and the rest of the Coalition leaders unable to follow and helpless in only being able to watch as The Witness had won. | |||
