===Operation Elbrus=== | ===Operation Elbrus=== | ||
After The Guardian stops Caitl's forces from attacking Savathun's ship, Saladin - along with Zavala and Crow - meet with the empress in the Tower to placate her ire over the battle. Zavala convinces her to aid the Vanguard in fighting back against the [[Lucent Brood]], and Saladin oversees a joint Vanguard-Cabal operation to capture Lucent Brood leaders for Psions to interrogate. He first sends reinforcements to Guardians in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]] that were ambushed by Lucent Hive, leading to a general being captured. Intel pulled from it's mind leads to the [[Cosmodrome]], where Light drained from Guardians was being stored and refined for a ritual. Another general there is captured, revealing that the Brood was planning to take over the [[Scarlet Keep]] on the Moon, using stolen Light to summon an massive invasion force. Saladin then oversees the final operation, in which Caitl's forces fight alongside Guardians to halt the ritual and capture another general. | |||
Throughout the operation, Saladin is tasked by Zavala with offering guidance to Crow, who is still grappling with the truth of his past self's crimes. The young Hunter is against keeping Hive prisoners, arguing repeatedly with Saladin over the ethics of their actions. Things come to a head during the assault on the Moon when Crow, instead of showing up to help, goes to the H.E.L.M. and deactivates the machine keeping the captive Hive alive, unintentionally killing the the Psion operating it. When Caitl is informed, she demands Crow's life in accordance with Cabal justice, but Zavala defends him. To preserve the growing alliance with Cabal, Saladin offers his life to in Crow's place. Caitl accepts the offer, but instead of killing him, Caitl spares Forge on the condition he become a [[Bracus]] on her War Council. He leaves the Tower with Caitl, but he's allowed to keep his role running the Iron Banner. | |||
