Walking through the settlement, a Ghost leads him to a barn and asks him to out of sight as he will "scare her". The Speaker, bemused, crouches back and observes the Ghost hover over the remains of a person and scans it with pale light. To his amazement, The Speaker witnesses the body of a woman awake and gasp as she sits up. The Ghost calms the women with her words and The Speaker feels amazed and jealous and later ashamed to what he witnessed.<ref name="Wake"/> | Walking through the settlement, a Ghost leads him to a barn and asks him to out of sight as he will "scare her".

===The First Speaker held Captive=== | |||
As the [[Fallen]] began their siege against [[Earth]] to reclaim the [[Traveler]], the Fourth Speaker was taken captive by a group of Fallen. The Speaker found it disparaging to have been caught by a [[Dreg]] and was dragged to a cave miles away from his camp. Inside the cave, the three Dregs would huddle around the Speaker as he looked around for signs of a [[Kell]] or [[Archon]]. He looked at them perplexed, wondering if they did something weren’t suppose to do as the Dreg seemed uncertain and nervous.<ref name="Long">'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] PlayStation 4, [[Lore:Constellations#Longing|Longing]]''</ref> | |||
One of the Dregs points a [[Arc]] spear at him, while the other watches and the Dreg who captured the Speaker fidgets with a mask. To the surprise of the Speaker, the Dreg puts on the mask and speaks to him with a translator by addressing him as the "mouth of the Great Machine". The Speaker was astounded that a Dreg was capable of a feat as he expected high ranking Fallen and [[Risen]] to know each others language as they held negotiations that often turned brutal.<ref name="Long"/> | |||
The Dreg addresses him again and the Speaker answers by saying he was. The Dreg attempts to translate what the Speaker said and nods when he understood him. The Dreg then asks the Speaker to share the words of the Traveller, only for the Speaker to remain silent as he feared his death. | |||
The other Dregs watch eagerly with their expressive faces as one of the Dreg points his spear down. Not discouraged by his silence, the masked Dreg asks with a hopeful tone on why the Great Machine abandoned them. As the Speaker stares back, his sense of fear dissipates as he felt a sense of the Fallen grief lost in the chaos. The Speaker responds by saying he doesn’t know to the disappointment of the Dregs. The Speaker and his captives sit in silence in the cave for a long time with a great sense of sorrow.<ref name="Long"/> | |||
