To gain full control over the Warmind's arsenal, Xivu Arath directed her forces to seek out and subjugate one of the Warmind's creators, [[Clovis Bray I]], who existed as an AI within the Exoscience Labs on [[Europa]]. Her combined force of Wrathborn Fallen and Hive gained entry into the labs and nearly claimed Clovis but the scientist would be rescued by the Guardians as they sought him out to restore the Warmind. The Guardians would reluctantly work with the Bray patriarch, who would direct them to seek out the Subminds, pieces of the Warmind that were separated from Rasputin in the event of damage. Xivu Arath would have her forces guard these vaults from assaults but the Guardians would instead infiltrate the vaults, slay their defenders and claim the data they need. One defender was her most loyal and devoted warrior, Kelgorath, returned once more despite his past failures, now made a Darkblade. | To gain full control over the Warmind's arsenal, Xivu Arath directed her forces to seek out and subjugate one of the Warmind's creators, [[Clovis Bray I]], who existed as an AI within the Exoscience Labs on [[Europa]].

After the Guardians gathered enough submind data for Rasputin to speak directly, and reveal Clovis's deception, leading to him being cast out by his granddaughters, Mara Sov would begin to have suspicions on Xivu Arath's motives. Noting that the War God's armies are legion, yet using only her Wrathborn as a token-level force and she is more tactician than brute than originally believed, the Awoken Queen suspected that corrupting the Warmind's Network may not be the end goal Xivu Arath is seeking. Remembering that Xivu Arath's Worm feeds off of destruction and conflict, just as [[Savathûn's Worm]] fed off of guile and deceit, Mara | After the Guardians gathered enough submind data for Rasputin to speak directly, and reveal Clovis's deception, leading to him being cast out by his granddaughters, Mara Sov would begin to have suspicions on Xivu Arath's motives. Noting that the War God's armies are legion, yet using only her Wrathborn as a token-level force and she is more tactician than brute than originally believed, the Awoken Queen suspected that corrupting the Warmind's Network may not be the end goal Xivu Arath is seeking. Remembering that Xivu Arath's Worm feeds off of destruction and conflict, just as [[Savathûn's Worm]] fed off of guile and deceit, Mara came to a frightening conclusion. That Xivu Arath's true plan is to manipulate the Guardians into restoring Rasputin, having him use his vast arsenal to smite her Wrathborn. This would not only feed her worm, but also fuel a powerful ritual. A spell to open a large portal over Earth, to send her armies through and overwhelm humanity, just as she did on the Cabal's homeworld of Torobatl. Mara brought this conclusion to the Vanguard Coalition, stating that to prevent Xivu Arath from achieving her goal, they must not restore the Warmind. Ana Bray voices her objections, stating that Rasputin is more than a weapon and that humanity needs him as an ally if they are to survive the Witness's coming. Mara then suggests that instead of a complete victory, they restore Rasputin as Ana wants but he refrain from smiting the Wrathborn, denying Xivu Arath the requirements she needs for her ritual. The rest of the Coalition's leaders agree to the plan. | ||
Unfortunately for Xivu Arath, her aspirations for invading Earth would be for naught. Though Eramis finally managed to gain access to the Warsat network, activating the Warmind's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE, a protocol where the network would target the Traveler should the entity leave humanity, Rasputin | Unfortunately for Xivu Arath, her aspirations for invading Earth would be for naught. Though Eramis finally managed to gain access to the Warsat network, activating the Warmind's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE, a protocol where the network would target the Traveler should the entity leave humanity, Rasputin used his AURORA SACRIFICE order to destroy the entire Warsat Network, ending himself in the process. With her aspirations for her ritual ruined, Xivu Arath ordered her forces to pull back from the inner system sans Europa, forcing the Guardians to continue operations there. | ||
