In the spirit of honest self-reflection in the face of justified skepticism, we have begun to discuss the possibility of stepping down to invite new leadership into our place, as well as the general merits of disbanding the Vanguard entirely—largely because we believe that this crisis of identity will plague anyone who steps into this role. We recognize that this is ill-timed, and we will endeavor to involve the [[Consensus]], the Guardians themselves, and all other interested parties in the discussion as appropriate. I specifically invite the Hidden to closely monitor the situation without my involvement. Should you agree that we are doing more harm than good, please do not hesitate to take whatever actions you agree are necessary. | In the spirit of honest self-reflection in the face of justified skepticism, we have begun to discuss the possibility of stepping down to invite new leadership into our place, as well as the general merits of disbanding the Vanguard entirely—largely because we believe that this crisis of identity will plague anyone who steps into this role.

2. Regarding the open Hunter Vanguard position and the terms of [[Cayde-6|Cayde's]] Dare: The situation is unprecedented. Were we to trace the chain of culpability back to its first link, I believe we would be obligated to elect a Hive god to our council. | 2.

Our current inclination is to caucus with the Hunters to debate the benefits of opening the position to any interested and well-qualified Hunter. Such a debate is, of course, contingent upon the continued existence of the Vanguard itself. We will make an effort to convene the Hunters as soon as possible, but this group should be well aware that most credible candidates have fled the Tower in anticipation of such a debate. | Our current inclination is to caucus with the Hunters to debate the benefits of opening the position to any interested and well-qualified Hunter.

2. In previous reports, I stated that it was my belief that #1315 had invoked some kind of paracausal event enabling the resurrection and return of enemy VIP #2015. This belief was predicated upon reports of creatures resembling the infamous "[[Echo of Oryx|Echoes of Oryx]]" that Guardian forces engaged and destroyed en masse during the Taken War (cf. Ghost-stream footage here: [[Cathedral of Dusk|CATHEDRAL.OF.DUSK.]][[Dreadnaught|DREADNAUGHT]]). | 2.

This has proven false. Spectral analysis from multiple Ghosts participating undercover in [[Gambit Prime|Prime]] and [[The Reckoning|Reckoning]] confirms that the impossible world at the heart of "[[The Haul|the haul]]" is located in [[Unknown Space|unknown space]]. (Cf. REP #001-012-PARAC-[[Nine|NINE]].) Further, these Primevals differ in their literal elemental composition: low SNC, high ambient ΛCDM. #1315 has harnessed his "banks" to what appears to be an engine of pure potential. He no longer needs to pilfer the [[Ascendant Plane]] of Primevals, the oldest [[Taken]] in residence. He can create Primeval-likes from the energy of "the haul" and sheer force of will. As to the apparent presence of #2015, it is a falsehood. My handlers in the Praxic Order surmise simply: the shape of Oryx was the scariest Hive he could think of. He's tenacious, but he has a small mind. | This has proven false.
