During a meeting with Zavala, the two Vanguard commanders were interrupted by a communication from [[Petra Venj]]. The Awoken expressed her condolences for their losses, but Ikora only acknowledged her with a nod, intent on studying intelligence reports from Europa, the Tangled Shore, Luna, and other locations. However, when Petra stated that she was contacting them to share privileged information that could not leave their confidence, Ikora's interest was peaked and she questioned if it was related to Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s recent broadcast declaring she was returning to the Sol System. Petra stated it was from a separate message the Queen had sent to her, and Ikora carefully noted that they could not deny the Consensus pertinent information, while Zavala stated that if the situation warranted he could make a wartime decision to withhold it from them. Petra stated the Cabal were on the move once more, drawing Ikora's full attention, and that intercepted messages indicated they were dealing with a Hive disease. Ikora relayed a report from the Tangled Shore of an infected creature bleeding [[Soulfire]], which was supported by reports by Osiris of increased Hive activity. Concerned about the distances between the outbreak of the Hive disease, they speculated as to its origins. Ikora passed along a dream to Petra of a red-sky morning full of dread and suggested she pass it along to the [[Techeun]]s, but was unsure of its meaning. Petra asked for Guardian assistance in battling an outbreak in the Dreaming City, and Ikora suggested assigning [[Siegfried]], a Titan of the [[Praxic Order]] and friend of Aunor, to assist, and Petra thanked them for their assistance. Once Petra had disconnected, Ikora teased Zavala about his new openness to making deals and friends before the two agreed that the details of this new operation should be kept between them.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Wild_Hunt_Armor_(Titan)#Wild_Hunt_Helm|Wild Hunt Helm]]</ref> | During a meeting with Zavala, the two Vanguard commanders were interrupted by a communication from [[Petra Venj]].

====Clash of the Chosen==== | |||
A new conflict soon began when [[Empress Caiatl]] arrived in the Sol System and sought to subjugate humanity and recruit the Guardians into her army following the [[Fall of Torobatl]] to the Hive God of War [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. Negotiations between Zavala and the Empress swiftly collapsed, causing Ikora to begin gathering intelligence on the ''[[Halphas Electus]]'', a [[Imperial Land Tank]] that Caiatl had deployed on [[Nessus]]. She learned that it was key to whatever plans Caiatl had for the system and that [[Commander Dracus]], a war criminal formerly of the Red Legion, was commanding Caiatl's forces in the area, making him a priority target for elimination by the Young Wolf.<ref name="BB">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]: [[Behemoth (Battleground)|Behemoth]]''</ref> As the [[Clash of the Chosen|conflict]] with Caiatl's [[Imperial Cabal]] escalated a task force was formed to eliminate her senior commanders under the leadership of Lord [[Saladin Forge]]. Osiris was also appointed to the task force, bringing with him a Hunter called [[Uldren Sov|Crow]], whom Ikora learned was the resurrected Uldren Sov. She supported Osiris in keeping this information secret, including from Zavala.<ref name="TRD">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:From_the_Front#V._The_Restless_Dead|From the Front V.

Ikora visited the Saladin in his quarters within the Tower with Thai food to discuss the situation. She was gravely concerned by the state of his quarters, which were covered in dust and mildew and filled with ancient relics and mementos from his past. Ikora questioned how he was doing, but he brushed off her worry and stated he would be better once Caiatl was driven from the system. She stated that Zavala had confidence that Saladin would accomplish that goal, but the old warrior declared that the Commander's optimism and hope for further peace talks was dangerous and that he would settle things the old fashioned way. She then asked if he had plans for after the conflict, wondering if he might take a vacation, but he assumed there would be another threat that emerged to fill his time with and then shot back by questioning how long it had been since she took a vacation. Acknowledging his point, Ikora countered that he had been fighting for longer than she had. Saladin believed that was a good thing and told her he felt more comfortable on the battlefield than overseeing things from the Tower. Ikora wondered what he would do if all the threats to humanity were ended and the Black Fleet driven away, causing the old warrior to scoff and suggest he might take a vacation then. After a moment of silence the two began laughing, and Saladin reassured her that he was fine. Ikora eyed the conditions of his room in response, causing her old friend to find some new Guardians and make them clean it up to relieve her worries. Thanking him for that, Ikora told him that with Zavala stretched thin and no replacement yet for the Hunter Vanguard the City needed the Iron Lords more than ever, and he reassured her that he would always be there when she needed him.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Multimach CCX]]''</ref> | |||
After Crow helped prevent a lone Psion with Light-draining technology from assassinating Zavala, Ikora met with her old friend to discuss the event. She found him overlooking the City from his usual place in the Tower courtyard. He did not respond to her initial attempt to start a conversation, so she patiently waited for him to open up. When he did, he revealed that he kept seeing "his" face. Ikora believed he was talking about Cayde, but Zavala revealed that it was Uldren's. Ikora was shocked, but hid it as Zavala stated that he had seen him in crowds and in the garden where the Psion attempted the assassination, shouting a warning to him about the assailant. She tried to set his mind at ease as he talked of ghosts and how difficult it would be if Uldren were alive. After a few minutes of silence he stated that they would know if he was, and Ikora senses the hidden question behind his statement. Seeing how tired he was and knowing he would trust any answer she gave, Ikora reassured him that they would know. As they stared out over the Last City together, Ikora felt tremendous guilt for lying to Zavala about Crow's identity and the ever-widening gulf between the two of them.<ref name="TRD"/>}} | |||
