On the way, the crew of the ship were surprised by the unexpected appearance of Nessus on their flight vector. Both Failsafe and the Exodus Black crew attempted to adjust the ship's course away from Nessus, but the centaur introduced 26 new mathematical constraints required to recalculate the course. Additionally, Failsafe was inhibited by a sudden [[Vex|alien]] intrusion into her systems, making her unable to compute the appropriate adjustments.<ref name="Impact Velocity"/> After losing an engine, the ship crash landed on Nessus due to the anomalous addition of six dimensions to the ship's momentum.<ref name="Exodus Down">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Exodus_Down#Lore|Exodus Down]]''</ref> | ||

A year following the Red War, Failsafe received word of the death of Cayde-6 at the hands of [[Uldren Sov]] during a mission at the [[Prison of Elders]] in the [[Reef]]. The next time the Guardian visited Nessus, Failsafe offered them her emotional support. She also expressed that she believed grief became easier to manage the more one experiences loss, as in the loss of her own crew, but that Cayde's death disproved that theory.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last Call]]''</ref> Following Uldren's death, she stated that the news did not ease her grief over the loss of Cayde. | |||
A little over another year later after the discovery of a [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] on the [[Moon]], the Guardian visited Failsafe on the behalf of the recently reemerged [[Saint-14]], who sought a way to honor the colonists lost aboard the Exodus Black. Failsafe suggested that regular patrol duties on the planetoid would be sufficient to honor their memory.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]], Playstation 4, [[Honoring the Lost]]''</ref> | |||

At first glance, Failsafe may appear to have a simple personality, either being extremely happy or extremely depressed. While she may have had a comparable cheery personality early in her life, listening to the content of Failsafe's speech reveals she is perfectly capable of experiencing a wider range of emotions, including anger and grief. | |||
