Following their incursion into the Black Garden, the Guardians' campaigns against the Shadow Legion on Earth and handling the return of Titan, Osiris and Nimbus continued in their endeavors in understanding the Veil, leading them to comb through records on the Ishtar Collective. Osiris and Nimbus quickly began to focus on the recordings of the lead scientists, [[Chioma Esi]] and [[Maya Sunderesh]], some of Nemouna's founders. The records Chioma had made quickly became more and more unnerving as Chioma grew concerned with Maya's obsession with her work on the Veil, which ultimately led the colony's entire Exo population to be rendered brain dead. Though Chioma wanted to end the experiments, Maya refused stating that the Veil is their "salvation", which only led Chioma to grow even more concerned and distraught. | Following their incursion into the Black Garden, the Guardians' campaigns against the Shadow Legion on Earth and handling the return of Titan, Osiris and Nimbus continued in their endeavors in understanding the Veil, leading them to comb through records on the Ishtar Collective.

Osiris related to Maya's obsession with her work, citing how it drove those close to him away but Maya's reference to salvation led him to believe the Ishtar scientist was being swayed by The Witness. Other recordings would surprise Osiris, such as Maya's study between the Veil and the Vex actually led to the procedure that created the Cloud Striders and, most of all, in the latest of logs, Maya's research led to creation of Lakshmi-2. Shocked that the former Future War Cult faction leader was actually from Neomuna and as Chioma stated "a copy of Maya", Osiris wondered | Osiris related to Maya's obsession with her work, citing how it drove those close to him away but Maya's reference to salvation led him to believe the Ishtar scientist was being swayed by The Witness.

Shocked that the former Future War Cult faction leader was actually from Neomuna and as Chioma stated "a copy of Maya", Osiris wondered why Lakshmi never mentioned of her connection to Maya or even Neomuna. Regardless, Osiris states that this will cause the Vanguard to question her role in the Last City's affairs and he will have to make an uncomfortable report to Ikora Rey. Ultimately, the next recording of Chioma Esi spoke of how Maya succeeded in connecting human minds to the Veil but Chioma did not express pride or feel a sense of accomplishment. Thinking back on how many lives were lost in their experiments made her feel disgusted with Maya, the other scientists and even herself, to the point where she didn't feel anything. Nimbus is shaken by this, leading him to not want to hear any more but Osiris consoles the Cloud Strider regarding the nature of obsession, stating how he freed himself of such a feeling by doing something Maya Sunderesh never did, he lost. The next log would reveal Maya's death, with her being found in the conductor chair but Chioma and others couldn't figure out how she died, let alone what she was actually doing. Chioma then had her "project" Lakshmi-2 placed under quarantine, with Chioma bitterly stating that Lakshmi was still developmentally incomplete and couldn't understand what happened to Maya. With the log finished, Nimbus stated that there isn't any dates on the files and therefore unable to tell how much time had passed. Osiris merely stated that enough time had passed for loss before asking how many logs are left, to which the Cloud Strider answered there were three left. Osiris hopes that the remaining logs will yield more answers to uncover. | ||
The next log revealed that Chioma had become completely apathetic, likely the result of her depression over what happened with Maya, but she learned that Rasputin reactivated during her time and had located Neomuna, where he classified it as "Nefele Stronghold" and attempted to make remote interference with their research. The Warmind proved unable to however, leading Chioma to send an agent, Stargazer, to remove all traces of Neomuna from all off-world databases, to prevent anyone from acquiring The Veil, believing it to be too much power to wield. In addition, Chioma sent Lakshmi away from Neomuna, having grown disgusted with her and unable to even look at Maya's project any longer. Nimbus is surprised upon hearing the name Stargazer, as it is the name of a Cloud Strider, leading them to believe that Chioma was around when the Cloud Striders first started. Osiris meanwhile believes that Stargazer is the one who redacted Nefele Stronghold from Rasputin's records or Maya herself did through Lakshmi. | The next log revealed that Chioma had become completely apathetic, likely the result of her depression over what happened with Maya, but she learned that Rasputin reactivated during her time and had located Neomuna, where he classified it as "Nefele Stronghold" and attempted to make remote interference with their research.
