The Guardians succeeded in locating Sloane and learned of her predicament. The Deputy Commander was partially Taken after Titan was claimed by the Witness which allowed her to "tune into the enemy's radio" but was afflicted by demanding whispers which almost led her to be claimed by Xivu Arath but thanks to the creature [[Ahsa]], Sloane was saved and established a connection with her. Understanding that they share a foe in the Witness, the Guardians work with Sloane in helping her in strengthening her connection to Ahsa, thereby allowing her to decipher her messages. As the Guardians worked this, they clashed with Xivu Arath's Wrathborn, with the War God taunting them. However, as the Guardians learned about a Lucent Hive attempting to conduct a ritual to resurrect Oryx with the Light, they found Calcified fragments that recorded Xivu Arath's personal thoughts regarding the Hive's purpose in enacting the Final Shape and her potent grief at the loss of her brother. | The Guardians succeeded in locating Sloane and learned of her predicament.

Despite the efforts of her Hive and Taken, including Kelgorath and those who once served the Witch Queen, the Guardians managed to gain enough egregore coral to help Sloane interpret Ahsa's messages, including one where she spoke of the Witness's origins. However, during one of the Guardian's deep dive missions, Xivu Arath sensed an opportunity to strike at Ahsa while the Guardian was distracted, conducting a ritual that struck Ahsa, forcing the worm to leave the safety of the Arcologies to the ritual site in a vain attempt to disrupt the ritual but ended up captured. Xivu Arath ordered her the orchestrators of the ritual, three Screams of Xivu Arath, to begin the ritual where she will Take Ahsa. The Coalition caught wind of this and the combined efforts of Sloane, Saint-14, Saladin and Zavala occupied her forces enough to allow the Guardian to reach the ritual site. Taking out each wizard and using the Drifter's machine to purify the egregore coral not only disrupted the ritual but each one wounded Xivu Arath herself. Yet, regardless of her Hive and Taken forces, Xivu Arath's ritual failed, allowing Ahsa to return to safety and deliver the last piece of her message, while her forces initiated a full retreat. The worm attempted to speak it through Sloane but the Deputy Commander nearly became possessed by the Hive War God who once again taunted her but thanks to Zavala, Sloane was able to regain control over herself. With her connection clear, Ahsa spoke through Sloane and informed the Vanguard that while the path to the Witness is obscured, one individual may know a way to follow. One Ahsa speaks as "she who hides truth in deception", Savathûn herself. If the Vanguard wishes to follow and stop the Witness, then they will have no other choice but to allow the Witch Queen to be revived. | Despite the efforts of her Hive and Taken, including Kelgorath and those who once served the Witch Queen, the Guardians managed to gain enough egregore coral to help Sloane interpret Ahsa's messages, including one where she spoke of the Witness's origins.

Following her failure to Take Ahsa and prevent the Vanguard from learning about the Witness, Xivu Arath communed with the Witness upon the Dreadnaught, which expressed its doubts as to Xivu's abilities, but nonetheless commanded her to prepare to fight against [[Savathûn]] in the event the Vanguard chose to allow her resurrection.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/vi-conviction</ref> | Following her failure to Take Ahsa and prevent the Vanguard from learning about the Witness, Xivu Arath communed with the Witness upon the Dreadnaught, which expressed its doubts as to Xivu's abilities, but nonetheless commanded her to prepare to fight against [[Savathûn]] in the event the Vanguard chose to allow her resurrection.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/vi-conviction</ref> | ||
