Lakshmi-2 was talkative enough about war stories and the accomplishments of Future War Cult, but was otherwise tight-lipped about the inner workings of her faction. She viewed the coming of the [[Darkness]] as an inevitable conflict, one that could not be simply avoided, as [[Dead Orbit]] wished. She was always pondering aloud about the nature of time, fate, and the existence of alternate timelines, particularly ones without war. Lakshmi was also obsessed with finding the [[Exo Stranger]], believing her to be the key to humanity's victory.<ref name="D1Q"/> | Lakshmi-2 was talkative enough about war stories and the accomplishments of Future War Cult, but was otherwise tight-lipped about the inner workings of her faction.

Although she appeared optimistic of the alliance between the Vanguard and the Fallen [[House of Light]], she began to grow more and more paranoid about them after they were allowed to live within the Last City's walls. This was compounded by her constant use of the Vex Device her faction venerates to peer into the future, leading her to believe the House of Light Eliksni were no different to the rest of the Fallen and that humanity can achieve victory over the Vex without them. As a result, Lakshmi-2 became a fearmonger, making broadcasts denouncing the alliance Ikora had forged with Mithrax while inciting the citizens of the Last City against the newer House. Her recent demeanor even caused members of the FWC to resign, disillusioned with the direction Lakshmi-2 was leading the faction in. Worst of all, it is heavily hinted that she intended to stage a coup against the Vanguard and the other City factions to assume full control over the city as its savior and prophet. | ||

Believing that the Vanguard has lost its way, that the Guardians have failed, and the Eliksni would bring tragedy to the Last City, Lakshmi colluded with other factions to oust the Vanguard and cast the House of Light out of the City. However, in her zeal, Lakshmi would actually threaten the Last City with an invasion from the Vex. She was arrogant enough to believe that she could control the Vex portal to destroy the Eliksni by sending them to space but ultimately was killed by the Vex using the portal to enter the City, realizing too late that her prophecy had come true but not in a manner she expected. As Ikora Rey put it, she foresaw the coming tragedy but failed to see it was of her own making. | ||
