He would then set those parasitic larvae adrift on Fundament's ocean, eager to reach the shores of the [[Osmium Court|Osmium Kingdom]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Greaves|Resonant Fury Greaves]]''</ref> | Despite the Subjugator's earlier claims to be on his master's behalf, it was apparent to Xita that Rhulk had only sought the worms out of his own personal desire for domination and was constantly chided by the Witness for stepping out of line.
