As Avgust was stopped by Scythe, he listened intently to what the Hunter had to say. As Scythe offered him the Ghost, the Vanguard's icy brown eyes looked down to the odd shape of Sauron's dead Ghost. Taking it from his hands slowly, Avgust slowly nodded his head.

«Spasibo,» the Titan said as Scythe turned to leave, before calling out to stop the Hunter for a moment. "And Scythe? Good luck, with whatever or wherever you will go and do. Stay safe, if you can."

After saying this, Avgust slowly opened the door to the small cabin which he had made his residence with for this operation. There was simply a table with a few resources, a rack for equipment and a small cot made for sleeping. He placed Sauron's Ghost on the table on top of the map of Sol, as he dropped his damaged helmet on top of it as well.

The Titan stopped, spotting the several missives that had constructed the Vanguard Code and Rules of Operation. Avgust picked up one of the small metal containers, opening it as he removed the official papers which discussed the responsibility of being a Vanguard.

''To protect and preserve whatever Light remains, to stand against all who would pervert or threaten to destroy our City. To serve not only the innocent, but to also command the Guardians who protect them. A Vanguard must be willing to lead the charge, to stand in the front lines of, to offer tactical advice to the Guardians under them. A Vanguard must be willing to sacrifice themselves should it mean to save others.''

Avgust took a seat on the cot, glancing over the rest of the Vanguard Pledge before he returned it to the metal container it was stored in. He looked down to his chestplate, discovering the several coloured badges which were pressed on the left. There had been only five, two of which represented his role as not only a Vanguard, but as a Lieutenant.

Another for the Battle of the Twilight Gap, a fourth for assisting for the complete destruction of a hostile force attacking the City, and the fifth for being a capable leader and officer—for his dedicated service to command and serve other Guardians.

Avgust closed eyes, beginning to ponder as to what his role was exactly. Sure, the Vanguard was organised to command other Guardians and preserve the freedoms and life of the civilians in the City. Going to foreign and strange worlds to fight his enemy and take back what belonged to them. But was it right to commend him for what countless of other Guardians have done?

He laid back in his cot, shifting positions has he tried to find rest. And what caught his attention even more was the fact he had sacrificed every other social and political aspect of his life to serve the Vanguard entity. Was this necessary, Avgust wondered.

Perhaps neutrality to the social and political world outside of the Vanguard and the rest of the Light was the best position to take on such matters. Avgust pondered these things, as he slowly drifted into rest.
