Though the bargain angers many, [[Petra Venj]] and Crow among them, Mara believes there is little choice and thus instructs the Guardians to descend into [[Riven's Lair]] to find her clutch of eggs, slaying [[Sol Divisive]] Vex and rampant Taken throughout the way. However, after reaching the end and opening the vault, they find it empty, angering Riven. Mara voices her innocence before ordering Petra and her Techuens to find out what happened. In time, Petra uncovers that somehow, Riven's eggs were cast into the Ascendant Plane, leaving them to orbit the material plane like comets to a sun. However, Petra believes that they can employ the same strategy of using the Ley Lines in the Dreaming City to "catch" them, similar to how the Queen's Techuens were lost in the Ascendant Plane. The plan succeeds in catching one egg, bringing it to a secure location before the Vex could capture or destroy it themselves. During the whole mission, Riven continually taunted the group but does make thinly-veiled threats to them should her clutch of eggs come to harm, promising that they will get nothing from her if such an event occurs. | Though the bargain angers many, [[Petra Venj]] and Crow among them, Mara believes there is little choice and thus instructs the Guardians to descend into [[Riven's Lair]] to find her clutch of eggs, slaying [[Sol Divisive]] Vex and rampant Taken throughout the way.

Riven would continue to observe the Guardians as they acquire the second egg before the Taken could capture or corrupt it. Before then, Riven voiced her distrust of Mara Sov to the Guardian, even going as far as to state that the Awoken Queen was "no different to an Ahamkara", as she offers riches and rewards but requires something in return. Even so, Riven continues to taunt her Awoken handlers, going so far as to use Shaxx's voice to send a message to Mara before threatening to use the voice of [[Sjur Eido|someone]] more intimate with her, much to the Awoken Queen's anger. | Riven would continue to observe the Guardians as they acquire the second egg before the Taken could capture or corrupt it.

Later, Riven would target her taunts and mocking towards Crow as he works with Petra, Mara and the Guardian in modifying the Oracle Engine within the Dreaming City to help them guide Riven's clutch towards them. Crow tries to ignore Riven as much as possible but her words but he nonetheless becomes angered by the fact that they have to work with the Ahamkara that played a large part in his fall from grace and eventual death. Fortunately, Mara and Petra convince Crow to stay the course as the Guardian succeeds in acquiring another egg. | Later, Riven would target her taunts and mocking towards Crow as he works with Petra, Mara and the Guardian in modifying the Oracle Engine within the Dreaming City to help them guide Riven's clutch towards them.

Riven would later actually confide with the Guardian on the natures of humans and Ahamkara, wondering the possibility that more of the Ahamkara could have survived the Great Hunt had they acted more "human" but sadly concluded that such a bargain was simply not part of their nature. | ||
