Ikora: {{Quote|Enough! This is Ikora Rey. I will NOT stand by while this hateful rhetoric goes unchallenged. I understand it's hard to put the violence of the past behind us, but the Vanguard's responsibility is to preserve a just peace. Not for some, but for all. Lakshmi would have you live in fear. Fear of the Eliksni. Fear of the future. I propose something much stronger: faith. Faith that bravery is not just a Human quality. Faith that we are stronger together. With that, the Vanguard and our Eliksni allies will break the Vex hold on our city. And we'll do it united, as one, for the good of all.}} | Ikora: {{Quote|Enough! This is Ikora Rey.

{{Quote|People of the Last City: the last time I spoke to you, I was silenced. Clearly, Ikora fears the ugly truth: the Vanguard have betrayed you. You need not take my word for it. Simply look at their actions. The Vanguard have turned their backs on the Light, and now openly wield the Darkness. They force you to shelter a horde of Eliksni, led by a fugitive with ties to the Vex. And finally, they tried to cover up Savathûn's involvement in it all! Ikora Rey claimed that the Fallen could stop the Endless Night. But on the contrary, they have only made things worse. It's even possible that the Witch Queen walks among them! Unfortunately, the current Vanguard will stop at nothing to protect their place in their ivory tower. They don't understand the people of the Last City. And their actions prove it. Future War Cult and [[New Monarchy]] say: enough! We intend to return this city to its people. If the Vanguard won't protect you, then we will.}} | {{Quote|People of the Last City: the last time I spoke to you, I was silenced.

{{Quote|Greetings Guardian. I come bearing enlightening news. Bracus Forge has earned himself quite a reputation among the Cabal. Within his first three days aboard my ship, he was challenged to six Rites of Proving. He prevailed in them all. One of those challenges came from an officer on my [[War Council]]. Bracus Forge defeated him with a single thunderous blow. As is our custom, he was promoted to "Valus" for his courage. He has also started a version of the Iron Banner aboard my flagship, at my request. There are many volunteers for his training. He calls his Legionaries "Iron War Beasts." We have much to learn from one another, and Valus Forge is an excellent ambassador. I dare say he even likes it here. And if a human can ascend to the rank of Valus in such a short time... imagine what the future holds. May we all live long enough to find out.}} | {{Quote|Greetings Guardian.

|title2=Caiatl's Leviathan report | |||

{{Quote|Per our arrangement, I am delivering a status report on the Imperial survey of the Leviathan. Our scouts confirm your reports of psychic anomalies emanating from the red phantoms seen throughout the ship. Psion Opti theorize that these phantoms are manifestations forged from a psychic "background radiation" permeating the Leviathan. Navigational equipment shows that the Leviathan entered a gravitational anomaly and... It was once within and outside of the known universe for an indeterminate period of time. When it emerged from this state, most of its crew were missing, and an infestation of unknown fungal matter had infiltrated all decks of the ships. Command structure appears to have broken down. Loyalists who emerged from the anomaly disembarked from the Leviathan. We are attempting to determine their location. Those currently aboard are newly grown, combat-ready clones that have no higher brain function. They operate as an extension of my father's will. At Valus Forge's suggestion, I have submitted a suggestion for Crow to participate in a joint investigation to supplement our own. It is my hope that together, we can tear into the beating heart of the Leviathan, and drag my father screaming into the light of your sun. Until such a time, we are Cabal. We eat the mountains; we drink the seas.}} | {{Quote|Per our arrangement, I am delivering a status report on the Imperial survey of the Leviathan.

{{Quote|I received your last message. Whatever reckless plan brings you to [[the Reef]], need not be shared with the Vanguard... or the Guardian. But keep me informed, at the very least. Those haunted here have found a measure of peace. But it takes more than resolve to overcome one's regrets. We have both felt it. How a moment of pain can weave into the whole of our lives. How it binds us to patterns of thought and action. I have stared into the eyes of my pain made manifest. Pleaded with it. Raged at it. What face would your Nightmare wear? For so long, I believed peace was beyond my reach. No more. I have found it in guiding others down the same path that saved me. But... I might allow myself to want more than peace. What, I am not certain. Is joy the word? Might I find that again? You told me to live my life. There is more truth in you than either of us would care to admit. I have something that will be of interest of you. The lunar Pyramid remains rife with secrets. Meet with me, and we will discuss what I have found.
