Editing Sai Mota

|species=[[Human]]

In the aftermath of [[The Great Disaster]], Sai was approached by Eris and [[Eriana-3]] to join them in their mission to kill the [[Hive]] god [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] in the tunnels beneath the surface of the [[Luna|moon]]. Sai questioned if they really intended to trust [[Toland, the Shattered]], who was well-known for being a mad exile from [[The Last City]], in leading a fireteam into a interdicted zone where thousands of their fellow [[Guardian]]s perished all in the name of getting revenge on a god. When they confirmed that was the case, Sai happily agreed to join their team,<ref name="GFSG">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Luna%27s_Lost#Ghost_Fragment:_Sai_Mota.27s_Ghost|Ghost Fragment: Sai Mota's Ghost]]''</ref> asking only that she be avenged should she perish during the mission.<ref name="MofSM"/> Sai, Eris, Eriana, and Toland were joined by [[Omar Agah]] and [[Vell Tarlowe]] to round out the rest of the fireteam.<ref name="GCE">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Crota's_End|Crota's End]]''</ref> On the night before the Fireteam went into the [[Hellmouth]], Sai proposed a toast to the group, calling them the best and dumbest team she had ever worked with.<ref name="Toast" />

After the Fireteam infiltrated the Hive warrens, they encountered heavy resistance. They heard screams throughout the tunnel, which Toland claimed signified the birth of new spawn born in the name of Crota. He identified the screams as coming from [[Omnigul, Will of Crota|Omnigul]], and Sai began to question how he knew that before deciding she did not want the answer.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Omnigul.2C_Will_of_Crota|Omnigul, Will of Crota]]''</ref> Eventually, the group was split up, with Eriana-3 and Sai in one group, and Toland, Omar and Eris in the other. Sai and Eriana pursued the [[Hand of Crota]], but their Ghosts were damaged and their [[Light]] was fading. With their communications with the others and Earth cut off, they decided to continue their assault, despite the Hand falling back to a tunnel from which they could hear Omnigul screaming. Sai remarked that her knives were ready to kill more Hive, and Eriana told her she spoke little but always said the right things.<ref name="GHoC"/> They failed to killed the Hand, and Sai attempted to flee, losing her knives in the process. She was close to escaping the Hive, using torn [[Acolyte]] bones as replacements for her daggers, before Omnigul ultimately tracked her down.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Acolyte Rung]]''</ref> The Hive [[Wizard]] killed the Hunter forty-three times before wormrot set in and robbed Sai of what Light remained in her.<ref name="GFSG"/> Sai remained brave and laughed in the face of Omnigul as she died her final death.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Ankh of Sai Mota]]''</ref> Yuka refused to abandon Sai after her demise, and remained by her bones for the Hive to devour her Light in turn.<ref name="GFSG"/>

{{Quote|Sai descended into these depths with an unequaled compassion for those around her. That's the type of thing that gets you killed. If you ask me, Sai desired the respect of her fireteam.
