(I had nothing to post about during that argument, really.)

Avori stepped onto the Hawk, glad to no longer be stranded. Moments afterward, the newly-arrived Titan, to whom he'd yet to be introduced, ordered the pilot to take off. An awkward silence settled inside the Hawk as it closed its doors and lifted off the ground, until Scythe broke it by greeting Pariah. Absentmindedly, Avori took to inspecting one of the nearby frames, when he realised that it could probably tell him what had become of the rest of his fireteam on Mars. He tapped it on the shoulder, and it, in response, turned to him saying "Greetings, Guardian. Frame 24-50 at your service."

"Do you have an up-to-date version of the Vanguard database?" he asked.

"The latest version of the records I had access to was two hours ago," the Frame replied. "Since departing Earth, I have been unable to-"

"Communicate with the Tower, I know," Avori completed the Frame's sentence, anxious to hear what'd become of his friends. "About 9 hours ago, there was a fireteam of three Guardians deployed to destroy a Ketch on Mars. What happened to them?"

"Searching..." the Frame waited for a moment before rattling off the names of Avori's former teammates. "Benjamin Sankar - confirmed KIA, Jules Haum - confirmed KIA, Avori-48 - MIA."

Avori struck the wall of the Hawk in anger, and then sought out a quiet corner of the troop bay where he leant against the wall, staring down at his feet, in silence.
