After the Vanguard was reunited and gathered on Earth with the rest of the resistance, Amanda provided aerial support for their operations against the Red Legion in the [[European Dead Zone]]. She began working with [[Devrim Kay]] to steal supplies from the Cabal to support their war efforts and civilians at [[The Farm]].

When the Cabal sent a force to assault the Hive in the ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]], Amanda was dispatched on a mission to scout their positions. She spotted a Cabal base being set up on the bluffs in the [[Mothyards]] and saw the Hive assaulting their position hard, although they remained dug in. The nearby Cabal frigates did not fire on her, as the Cabal remained entirely focused on the Hive. Returning to the Last City, Amanda filed a report on what she saw and also noted that she had not seen any Cabal civilians, speculating that they were being kept safe on carriers in deep space. She also stated her belief that the Cabal had little interest in conflict with humanity and were instead focused on gaining revenge against the Hive for the [[Fall of Torobatl|fall]] of their [[Torobatl|homeworld]], a sentiment she understood well from the Red War.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[H.E.L.M.]] Radio Message: [[H.E.L.M.#Amanda's_Cosmodrome_Report|Amanda's Cosmodrome Report]]</ref>}} | |||
