====Lost in Grief====

{{Quote|I'm going, Wu Ming. This "friendship", or whatever you want to call it… it's over. Try not to get shot."<br>"You wanna go back to a thousand years of the Traveler's dogma, kid? Give up your freedom? Fine. You do you.|Orin ends her friendship with the Drifter}}

Orin's obsessive search for answers put her out of contact for months at a time. After returning to the Reef, she learned that Namqi had perished in an [[Aphelion]] attack and that no one had been able to reach her. She traveled to an Awoken outpost on [[324 Bamberga]] to view a transcript of Namqi's final words in which he professed his love for her. As Orin left the [[Gensym Scribes|Gensym]] lab, she was overwhelmed by grief and did not know what to do next.<ref name="ES"/> She met another Lightbearer who introduced themselves as Wu Ming and claimed to be an old friend of Namqi who had learned of her work for Queen Mara and investigation of the Nine. Orin admitted that was true but stated that in light of Namqi's death it no longer seemed important. Wu Ming offered to be there for her if she needed a shoulder to cry on.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Four|Invitations from the Nine - Week Six]]''</ref> Due to her grief and the mental toil the search for the Nine had inflicted upon her, Orin did not recognize Wu Ming as her old comrade Eli and found comfort in his presence in the absence of Namqi. They meet repeatedly, with Wu Ming questioning her about the Nine and what they could do. Unable to hold back, Orin told him everything she had learned of the Nine but also confessed her deepest fears and feelings. Wu Ming did the same, coming to see Orin as a kindred spirit, and confessed to her of his own fears and hatred of the Light as a burden he never asked for.<ref name="ES"/>

====Messenger of the Nine====

{{Quote| Dredgen."<br>"Nah, not anymore. It's Drifter now."<br>"You have proven yourself worthy. Accept this gift from the Nine.|The Emissary presents the Haul to the Drifter}}

After Wu Ming was judged worthy by the Nine, the Emissary was sent to present him with a gift. She arrived aboard his ship ''[[The Derelict]]'' and prevented a [[Taken Captain]] he had summoned to deal with a [[Shadows of Yor|Shadow of Yor]] who came to kill from turning on Wu Ming. Upon calling him Dredgen, Wu Ming declared that was not his name any longer and that he went by "Drifter" now. The Emissary informed him that he had been deemed worthy and presented the gift from the Nine: [[The Haul]], which attached itself to his ship.<ref name="Invite1">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week One|Invitations from the Nine - Week One]]''</ref> She continued to visit the Drifter as he was afflicted by visions of the [[Black Fleet]], and he demanded that she stop sending them to him. The Emissary declared that the gift was showing him what he must see and his fate, but he angrily declared that he made his own choices. As she departed, she told him that it was up to him if he wanted to believe that.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Eight|Invitations from the Nine - Week Eight]]''</ref> The Emissary later summoned him into the Haul where she informed him that while she had enjoyed watching him, her attention was required elsewhere and that she must say farewell. He sarcastically wished her goodbye as well and asked if there was anything else he could do for her. She told him he was already doing it and demanded he continuing playing the game before dropping a jade coin with a Pyramid on it into his palm.<ref name="Invite9">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Nine|Invitations from the Nine - Week Nine]]''</ref>
