"That's not right."

[[Banshee-44]] taps a spectral analyzer against the Effigy's frame.

Commander [[Zavala]] turns, closes the lid on a small golden weapon case, and walks to Banshee's side. "What have you found?"

"Well, it's not petrified wood, but it is organic."

"That's troubling," Zavala says and moves to run his fingers over the weapon's frame.

"I wouldn't."

A shallow cold saps the heat from Zavala's fingertips; he pulls back. "This wasn't in [[Eris Morn|Eris]]'s report." His voice is thin and stark with disappointment, as if spoken through dead winter air.

"[[The Guardian|Guardian]] doesn't seem to notice either." Banshee clinks the analyzer into a tool tray. "Leeches a bit, kicks out Void. Sig's hazy, though. Wild."

Long quiet overtakes the workshop, imposed by shuttered windows and empty streets below.

They stand over the weapon. Banshee stares down and nods along to the ambient static

"What were you saying?" The weapon master's voice is framed in apology.

Zavala puts a hand on Banshee's shoulder, smiles, and gestures to the weapon. "Equipment that uses the wielder's [[Light]] is not unprecedented."

"It doesn't use it; it eats it. Thing's got an appetite. Works almost like, uh… a converter."

"Is it dangerous?"

"Nah. Guardian doesn't even seem to notice. I'll get you a write-up."
==Trivia==
*The Ruinous Effigy is one of the three exotic trace rifles that isn't manufactured by [[Omolon]].
*During the Quest to build the Ruinous Effigy, a transmission excerpt from Eris states that the [[Touch of Malice]] was used as a blueprint for the Ruinous Effigy. She comments that, while the Touch of Malice was "crude, vicious", the Ruinous Effigy "is a thing of beauty".
