{{Quote|The night falls. Out there, on the edge, your fate is a war unseen amid ruined fleets. Two women: feared, untrusted, forever at arm's length. Here, at home, your fate is a coin in the hand of a liar. One man: afraid, untrustworthy, forever grasping. You must reckon with yourself. Can you see the path ahead? Do you know the shape of your trial?|The Emissary's final warning to the Young Wolf}}

The Nine began inviting the Guardian to learn more of their involvement and designs, with the Emissary meeting with the Young Wolf to convey their messages. During their first meeting she cautioned them about having made friends and allies with gods and pretenders and that the Nine viewed them as a great curiosity, with all fates converging upon their actions. The Emissary revealed that the Drifter was another anomaly who had their interest and showed the Young Wolf a vision of her presenting the Drifter with the Haul. After the vision finished, she revealed that two others besides the Drifter had transcended their purpose: "[[Mara Sov|an hourglass counting down with infinite patience]]" and "[[Eris Morn|a forgotten blade sharpened anew]]". The Emissary asked that they visit again should the Young Wolf prove worthy, as she wished for them to know what she did.<ref name="Invite1"/>

A week later, the Young Wolf returned to see the Emissary, who was being questioned by the Nine about her choices. They asked if she regretted becoming their agent of judgment, and she stated that she had more agency serving them than she ever did wielding the Light. They noted she lost everything, causing a representation of Gol to fall to the ground, but she countered that it was nothing that ever mattered and declared she would die for those she loved. The Nine did not understand, a belief that the Emissary agreed with.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Two|Invitations from the Nine - Week Two]]''</ref> After another week, the Emissary spoke with the Nine about Mara, whom they claimed was in peril. The Emissary was sure that the queen would manage and survive despite the Nine's doubts, and that if she did die, she would do so gladly as a defender of humanity. The Nine believed she would regret before the end and beg for the release of death. The Emissary countered that they did not understand the meaning of the word regret and that what had already died could not be killed again.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Three|Invitations from the Nine - Week Three]]''</ref> The following week the Nine questioned the Emissary about the Drifter and his motivations. She noted that they kept asking the same questions about people but never listened. The Emissary explained to the Nine that the Drifter was afraid of everything and hated violence, which motivated him to kill anything that might inflict it upon him.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Four|Invitations from the Nine - Week Four]]''</ref> Finally, the Nine inquired about the motives of the Young Wolf. The Emissary suggested that they chased power but in a manner different from herself and that no one was like the Guardian. She tried to explain to the Nine that the Young Wolf was different and had agency beyond what they could believe, including the power to leave the game. The Nine did not understand, causing the Emissary to state that it was impossible to explain.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], Activision Blizzard - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Invitations from the Nine#Week Five|Invitations from the Nine - Week Five]]''</ref>
