After arriving in the Last City, Crow was gifted a new suit of armor that was paid for by Osiris, although Glint chose the material it was made from. He also took to wearing a mask to hide his face for his own safety. He was asked by Osiris to join a task force put together by Commander [[Zavala]] as a reconnaissance expert. The task force was dedicated to preventing [[Empress Caiatl]] of the [[Cabal]] from reuniting the Cabal Empire with the remnants of the [[Red Legion]]. Crow agreed to join and took up residence in the [[H.E.L.M.]], where the task force was running its operations from.<ref name="CPISI">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/while-the-iron-is-hot While the Iron is Hot]''</ref> | After arriving in the Last City, Crow was gifted a new suit of armor that was paid for by Osiris, although Glint chose the material it was made from.

Contacting his assets in the [[Tangled Shore]], Crow learned that most remaining Red Legion commanders were brutes and warlords looking for ways to impress Caiatl. Crow met with Osiris and the Young Wolf to discuss the situation. While Osiris cautioned him to ensure he kept his mask on at all time, Crow reassured him that would not be an issue and that if it was the price he had to pay for making a difference for humanity he was fine with it. Osiris reassured him that he once had to walk in disguise within the Last City and that Crow would be welcomed like he was one day. Turing their attention to the Cabal, Crow commented that Saladin would hold the frontline as they identified and eliminated targets of importance. Relaying what he learned on the Shore, they made a plan to eliminate all contenders for Caiatl's [[War Council]] and prevent the Cabal from reorganizing for war. With their plan in place, Osiris dismissed them, but before departing Crow commented to the Young Wolf that they would be working together in the field again and that he was getting the impression they liked having him around.<ref name="CPISI"/> | Contacting his assets in the [[Tangled Shore]], Crow learned that most remaining Red Legion commanders were brutes and warlords looking for ways to impress Caiatl.

Crow reported his findings to Saladin, who made Basilius the first target of the task force.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/briefing Briefing]''</ref> | ||
Crow | Crow decided to visit one of the Spider's betting outposts in the Cosmodrome to gather more information on the Cabal's activities. As they approached, Glint worried that it could be a trap, but Crow reassured him that if the Spider wanted him back he would have made his move already and that the outpost had no idea he was coming. Several snipers suddenly trained on him, and Crow quickly shouted the password. The snipers stood down as Avrok opened up a nearby hidden door. Entering, Crow noted that the associate had been promoted and questioned what the odds were on Caiatl winning. The warehouse was dark, and Crow's eyes had trouble adjusting to see what was stored within. Avrok growled that information cost, causing Crow to produce a bundle of glimmer that partially lit up the room and allowed him to see numerous Cabal weapons, vehicles, and technology being used as collateral by betters. Commenting on the objects, Crow's attention was caught by one [[Sparrow]], which Avrok noted belonged to [[Val Ma'rag]], who had bet he would become the first member of the War Council. With this new information, Crow turned back to Avrok and placed his own Sparrow on a counter-bet, claiming Ma'rag could have it if he ascended to the Council, but suggested to Avrok that the Guardians would disrupt the Val's Rite of Proving. Avrok was pleased with the bet and to do further business with Crow, departing to get the betting book. Glint was concerned about losing their Sparrow and noted Crow hated walking, but Crow simply shrugged and stated he liked winning more.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Vita Brevis]]''</ref> | ||
Although Ixel was killed, three other Psions escaped with data stolen from the Vex prediction engine. Crow was dispatched to monitor Cabal reaction to their strikes and observed that while they were angry with the Guardians disrupting the Rite of Proving, many others were upset that Caiatl had tried to recruit humanity into the Cabal to begin with. Returning to the H.E.L.M. to meet with Osiris and the Young Wolf, Crow reported his findings. While Osiris saw this as an angle to be exploited, Crow voiced concern about retaliation by the Cabal using the data stolen from the Vex, which they had determined revolved around the future of Commander Zavala. Osiris noted that it was only possibility not fact they found and assigned Crow to work with the Young Wolf to stop whatever the Psions were plotting. Crow protested not informing Zavala of what they found, but Osiris said that he hoped the two of them would ensure there was nothing to report. Turning to the Young Wolf, Crow stated that he would take that as a compliment to their abilities and departed to begin his new mission.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving III]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/through-the-fog-of-battle Through the Fog of Battle]''</ref>}} | Crow subsequently travelled to Nessus and learned that [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] was leading a group of Cabal on incursions into [[Vex]] territory seeking their prediction engines to offer knowledge of the future to Caiatl.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving III]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/battleground-oracle Battleground: Oracle]''</ref> Although Ixel was killed, three other Psions escaped with data stolen from the Vex prediction engine.

====The Psion Conspiracy==== | |||
{{Expand-section}} | |||
As Crow began investigating behind the Imperial Cabal's lines for signs of the Psions, Saladin assigned the Young Wolf to disrupt more Rites of Proving to distract from Crow's operations.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving IV]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/precious-plunder-6 Precious Plunder 6]''</ref> With the aid of the taskforce, Crow was able to pick through the information he gathered and the data recovered by the Young Wolf and realized that all of the futures that the Psions had looked at involved Zavala's demise. Believing that the Psions intended to assassinate Zavala on behalf of Caiatl so that the Empress could coerce the Guardians into her service, Crow summoned the Young Wolf back to the H.E.L.M. and shared his concerns with his friend. Noting that Glint needed more data to accurately pinpoint when the assassination would take place, Crow requested that they gather their own data from the Vex's systems.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving IV]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/predicted-missing Predicted Missing]''</ref> The Young Wolf chased down several leads gathered from the Vex data and recovered a mysterious device from a Cabal encampment on Earth. Crow met with them once more and informed them that the device would disrupt the Light of a Ghost it was attached to and render their Guardian vulnerable to a final death, a refinement of the [[Traveler Cage|cage]] used by the Red Legion on the Traveler. He noted the device was an elegant way of defeating Guardians without a fleet or army, but a single assassin. Crow passed the information along to Osiris and vowed to keep an eye on Zavala to ensure his safety. He was pleased that his hunch was right, but quickly recalled that several Guardians had been reported missing over the past few days, and the body of one had been found with no Ghost or Light and was seemingly killed by human weapons. This caused him to suspect that these Psions were experienced and had been planning this for some time.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving IV]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/to-fell-the-mighty To Fell the Mighty]''</ref> | |||
