Upon learning of Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s supposed demise during the [[Battle of Saturn]] at the onset of the [[Taken War]], Rahool decided to use the instability the Reef was experiencing as an opportunity to open new lines of communication between the City's cryptarchy and the Reef's. He wrote a letter to [[Master Ives]] expressing his condolences for the loss of Mara, but then informed Ives that he and the other City cryptarchs had been withholding knowledge about the history of Earth and its colonies, along with other sensitive secrets about the origins of the Awoken and others like them, from the Reef due to their fears of what the Queen would have done with that information. He suggested that with the Queen gone, they would be willing to share that knowledge for the Reef's own secrets and the promise of working together in future studies.<ref name="OEATR">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Of_Earth_and_the_Reef|Of Earth and the Reef]]''</ref>

===A New Golden Age?===
During the [[Red War]], Master Rahool fortunately survived the fall of the [[Tower]] and the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of the Last City. Once the City was liberated, Rahool returned to his duties at the new [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]], lending his decryption skills to the Guardians. Not long after returning to the City, Rahool received a reply to the message he had sent more than two years ago to Master Ives. The Reef cryptarch insulted Rahool for his blatant attempt to take advantage of the Reef's grief and asserted that the Reef held far greater knowledge than anything that could be found on Earth, although he accepted the offer to exchange information between the two cryptarchies.<ref name="OEATR"/>

===Clash of the Chosen===
{{Quote|That Caiatl chose this as a main dish for an official gathering speaks to the optics she wants to present; she may be trying to differentiate herself from the opulence of the Calus era and the utilitarianism of Ghaul's rule by relating to the common folk of the empire.|Rahool, analyzing Caiatl's meals for information}}
When the [[Imperial Cabal]] led by [[Empress Caiatl]] began their [[Clash of the Chosen|incursion]] into the [[Sol System]], Rahool was assigned by Commander [[Zavala]] to Operation Haystack, which was designed to intercept and translate Cabal communications for information on their new foes. Amongst the intercepted data, Rahool flagged information on Caiatl's diet as important, noting that the Empress was serving dishes at formal occasions that had their origins in lower classes of Cabal society. Although the translation and interception were incomplete, Rahool speculated that this was a sign of Caiatl attempting to differentiate herself from her father [[Emperor Calus|Calus]]'s opulence and [[Dominus Ghaul]]'s utilitarianism.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Praefectus_Suit#Praefectus_Cloak_/_Mark_/_Bond|Praefectus Cloak / Mark / Bond]]</ref>
Rahool was later presented with a intercepted distress call from the Hunter [[Katabasis]]. Upon examining the distress signal Rahool determined that it had been exposed to the Darkness in some manner. He subsequently traced the origin of the call to the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'' a seemingly abandoned and derelict [[Cabal Carrier]] in the Reef aligned with the deposed Emperor Calus.<ref name="TVOS">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[The Voice on the Other Side]]''</ref>
