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.

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.

Sai was a quiet individual and spoke very little. However, when giving toasts no one could silence her.<ref name="MofSM"/> In one of his patrols on the Moon, Toland describes her as having been full of compassion for those around her, and argues such a trait gets one killed. He speculates Sai desired the respect of her fireteam, and died not realising she had it all along.<ref name="Patrol:H" />
