The mission takes the Guardians to the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] facility on Mars where they must recover the data of the submind Charlemagne. During the whole mission, Elsie would repeatedly get into arguments with Clovis and insult him, denouncing his priority on protecting his "company property". Even so, the Guardians were successful in retrieving the data and upload it in the Seraph Bunker on Earth, in preparation for reaching the heart of the Warsat Network, Seraph Station hovering in Earth's orbit. However, Elsie would remain frustrated by her sister's stubbornness in the mission, venting herself in her correspondence with Queen Mara Sov, who shares her experiences with troubled siblings, offering her counsel on what she can do for her sister. | The mission takes the Guardians to the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] facility on Mars where they must recover the data of the submind Charlemagne.

After gathering the submind data of Charlemagne and Malayahati, Elsie would craft a plan for the Guardian to infiltrate Seraph Station itself and have them plant a malware virus within the station's mainframe, in preparation for when Rasputin will be ready to upload itself and assume control over the Warsat Network. After using the launch facility to get themselves onto the station, Elsie and Ana would guide the Guardian through the facility, finding it infested with Xivu's Hive and Eramis's Fallen, their splicers being used to aid Xivu Arath in seizing control over the network. However, the Guardian would hit a dead end, forcing Elsie to think of a workaround. She would discover that a captain of Eramis was personally instructed to bring the Guardian to her alive and found this the perfect way to reach Nexus Control, the main hub of the station. Elsie instructs the Guardian to surrender themselves to the Fallen, allowing them to board their Ketch, break free and get back onto the station, bypassing any security. Much to Elsie's amusement, the Fallen bought their ruse, allowing the Guardian to proceed with the mission. At Nexus Control, the Guardian would confront an old foe, [[Praksis]], now raised as a Scorn in service to Xivu Arath. Despite Praksis' efforts, the Guardians succeeded in slaying him and uploading the malware virus before escaping. | |||
Not long after, Ana had found a method through which to repair Rasputin at a quicker pace: by finding the ghost shell of [[Felspring]], the Ghost of the Iron Lord [[Felwinter]], who was recently revealed to be a piece of Rasputin's code placed in an Exo Frame before being made a Risen. Believing that Felwinter's personality engram, Rasputin's memories and code would be in the Ghost's shell, Ana asked [[Saladin Forge]] for permission to access Felspring's remains within the [[Iron Temple]]. The Iron Lord agreed but after contending with a Salvation Fallen raid team that had intercepted their communications, allowing them to save the temple and finding Felspring's shell, establishing a connection with the Warmind, Rasputin would be able to audibly speak with Ana and the Guardian directly, using Clovis's copied speech patterns. However, the Warmind would reveal a disturbing truth: Clovis Bray I had never intended the Warmind to be a protector of humanity but instead replace the Traveler, all as a means of control. In his mind, Clovis believed only himself was worthy of being humanity's savior and thus sought to create one of his own design but thanks to Ana's deviance from his agenda, by teaching Rasputin independence, history, philosophy, art and music, things Clovis never cared for, the Warmind was able to see the beauty in humanity and thus refused to adhere to Clovis's directive, changing his security protocols and locking him out. This inadvertently saved countless lives but even though Rasputin failed to save Ana and humanity during the Collapse, he had nonetheless returned. Unfortunately, so had Clovis, now a digital mind like the Warmind but instead of using Rasputin as a proxy, Clovis instead sought to use Rasputin as a prototype to integrate himself into the Warmind's Network, becoming a machine god himself and be the savior he envisioned himself as. | |||
Ana would be furious over her grandfather's manipulation and deception, leading her to confront him. Elsie and the Guardian would be present during this confrontation, with Ana aiming her gun at the Exo Frame that housed her grandfather's personality. Elsie encouraged Ana not to shoot whereas Clovis attempted to justify his actions, claiming the Traveler can't be relied upon, citing the entity's past actions of abandoning the eliskni and recently giving the Hive the Light, and that with the Warmind under their control, they can fight the enemies of humanity. Ana lowered her weapon but instead of allowing Clovis to continue his machinations in their mission, she has Rasputin download himself into the Exo Frame, shocking Clovis as he struggled against the Warmind but despite his efforts, Clovis was losing. The Bray patriarch demanded Elsie stop her sister but the Exo Stranger just stood by and watched as Rasputin seized control over the Exo Frame and deleted Clovis's personality. With the deed done, Ana asked to be left alone for a bit, which Elsie accepted before taking her leave. | |||
Though Clovis's personality had been deleted from the Exo Frame, he still existed as an AI confined within the Exoscience Labs on Europa and before he was deleted, he warned his facility on Europa about the Guardians knowledge of his true intentions. Nonetheless, Clovis Bray's plans had been ruined with Rasputin advising the Guardian to continue gathering submind data for his complete restoration. | |||
