 Failsafe was launched onboard the Exodus Black from the [[Cosmodrome]], intended to accompany the ship on its journey through interstellar space to the [[wikipedia:Kepler-186|Kepler-186]] system. On the way, the crew of the ship were surprised by the sudden appearance of Nessus on their flight vector. Both Failsafe and the Exodus Black crew attempted to adjust the ship's course away from Nessus, but the centaur introduced 26 new mathematical constraints required to recalculate the course. Additionally, Failsafe was inhibited by a sudden [[Vex|alien]] intrusion into her systems, making her unable to compute the appropriate adjustments.<ref name="Impact Velocity"/> After losing an engine, the ship crash landed on Nessus due to the unexpected addition of six dimensions to the ship's momentum.<ref name="Exodus Down">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Exodus_Down#Lore|Exodus Down]]''</ref>

 Failsafe remained alone until centuries later during the [[Red War]], with the arrival of the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]], [[Cayde-6]]. Cayde encountered Failsafe while attempting to acquire a Vex teleporter with the goal of bringing himself close enough to [[Dominus Ghaul]] to assassinate him.<ref name="Rekindled Solstice Strides">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/solstice-strides-rekindled Solstice Strides (Rekindled)]''</ref> This plan backfired, trapping Cayde in a teleportation loop. Convinced he would be stuck in the teleportation loop forever, Cayde had Failsafe help him record a message to his son Ace, who Cayde noted he wasn't sure even existed. After a number of attempted recordings interrupted by teleportations, Failsafe alerted Cayde that a ship similar to his own had just entered into Nessus orbit. As Cayde was about to teleport again, he asked her to tell the ship that he did not enter the loop voluntarily, but fell into a Vex trap instead.<ref name="Rekindled Solstice Cloak">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/solstice-cloak-rekindled Solstice Cloak (Rekindled)]''</ref>
-Failsafe greeted the ship not long after it arrived, which turned out to be carrying [[the Guardian]] and their [[The Ghost|Ghost]]. With her help, the Guardian manages to meet up with Cayde and disable the teleporter, leaving Cayde at the Exodus Black's reactor core.<ref name="Looped">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Looped]]''</ref><ref name="Six">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Six]]''</ref> The [[Fallen]] appeared not long after, having presumably followed either Cayde or the Guardian to Nessus, and engaged in a skirmish with the Vex between the wreckage of the Exodus Black. Another detachment also converged on Failsafe's core, prompting her to raise a defensive shield while Cayde sought refuge within. The Guardian broke through and secured the Exodus Black, to the joy of Failsafe, who declared them the new captain of the ship.<ref name="Six"/>

 ===Search for Captain Jacobson===
-{{Expand-section}}
+Sometime after the end of the Red War, Failsafe reported to the Guardian that she occasionally hears the voice of Captain Masoud Jacobson on the comm system. At her request, the Guardian began investigating, and to the surprise of Ghost, managed to uncover the remains of Exodus Black crew members, still in their suits. These suits contained recordings of events long past, and eventually they found a recording of Captain Jacobson declaring his intent to leave the Exodus Black to use the satellite array. With this information, the Guardian retraced his path to a computer console in the [[Glade of Echoes]], which was still attempting to transmit a mayday signal from Captain Jacobson. The message playback was interrupted by a Vex transmission that Failsafe recognized as a greeting and/or a war cry. Vex units began to appear, accompanied by [[Empathic Sentinel]]s carrying memory data. The Guardian collected this data for Ghost to analyze, and discovered that the Vex believed Captain Jacobson was coming to meet them. This brought their attention to a strange [[Harpy]], which they pursued at the insistence of Failsafe.<ref name="O Captain"/>
-Sometime after the end of the Red War, Failsafe allegedly heard the voice of Captain Masoud Jacobson on the comm system. Upon asking the Guardian to investigate it, the Guardian finds an odd Vex [[Harpy]] speaking fragmented English to them. On the end of this [[World Quest]], the Guardian finds the decayed body of Failsafe’s captain, with a voice recording to boot.
+Meeting the Harpy in the [[Sunken Cavern]], it greeted them as if it was the Captain himself and beckoned them to follow it further into the cavern. Hostile Vex units began to attack, in an apparent series of trials, as the Guardian performed mind links with the Harpy at [[Conflux]]es. This led to the Harpy taking the Guardian to the skeletal remains of Captain Jacobson and Ghost extracting a final log from his suit. Knowing that he was most certainly dead, Failsafe received closure and thanked the Guardian for their assistance.
