Variks was awoken from his dream by an alarm and Petra informing him over comms that Cayde-6 had returned to the Prison, requesting that two cells be readied for intake. Believing that Cayde had returned with Fikrul, Variks consumed a large amount of Ether for strength and moved to the maximum-security wing to prepare two cryo-cells. He watched as Petra shoved a weak Fikrul into one of the cells as Cayde arrived with a humanoid with a bagged head. Cayde removed the bag and tossed the humanoid into the other cell, revealing that the humanoid is none other than Uldren Sov.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Most_Loyal#Two_Cells|Most Loyal: Two Cells]]''</ref> A confused Variks questioned Petra, who replied that Uldren seemed to have gone mad, and that no one else should be allowed into the cellblock from there out.
