"If I remember right," Scythe's voice came over the comms. "We were all pointing guns at each other back in that cave."

He could only imagine the confusion of the others as they realized Scythe was still tapped into their channel. When he managed to stop laughing, he finished his drink, paid his tab, and left. The matter of who should lead the new Tower was a delicate one, and while he doubted the others would let him so much as visit, he did have a list of possible Hunter Vanguards. Once he sorted out who was dead and who wasn't, then he could hand the list over to Avgust.

As he walked back to the Hangar, he summoned his Ghost. "Hey, play back that message Cayde gave us."

There was a buzzing sound followed by a burst of static, followed by a mechanical voice. "Retinal scan required." It was an unusual security measure for a message, but Scythe's Ghost scanned him anyway. The message began.

"Hello, 6-2. This is Sauruman-4. I don't know if you remember me, but I'm your old CO. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't. You did take a Walker round to the head, after all. I'm sending you this message because I heard you've taken up with the Fallen. You know that's against regs. I'm giving you a chance to turn yourself in. You have one month before I will come looking for you. That is all."

Scythe stood there in shock for a second. The rumors were true; Sauruman had survived. Somehow. "Ghost, when was that message sent?"

< A little over a month ago. Should I be worried? >

"Yes. We have to get to Phoenix before that half-crazy Exo does. Tell the hangar crew to prep the ship for takeoff."
