| [[Zavala]] swung off his [[Sparrow]] in a rocky gulch near the [[EDZ]]. Across the wash, a [[Cabal]] [[Legionary]] leaned next to a small shuttle. A [[Psion]] stood at attention nearby.
| |
|
| |
| "You Zavala?" the Legionary called.
| |
|
| |
| Zavala tried not to feel slighted. "I am Commander Zavala," he answered.
| |
|
| |
| The Legionary squinted and nodded slowly. "Had to make sure," it said. "Security stuff."
| |
|
| |
| "Let's do this quick." The Legionary pointed a fat finger at the Psion. "This Psion's gonna ask you a question. Then you tell me your answer. I go tell [[Empress Caiatl]], and that's all."
| |
|
| |
| "What kind of question?" Zavala asked.
| |
|
| |
| The Legionary shrugged. "Only the Psion and Empress Caiatl know. Safest that way."
| |
|
| |
| Zavala warily approached the Psion. As it stared into him with its single eye, Zavala felt his ears ring. His hand went to his sidearm, but a vison sprang to his mind, vivid and fully formed:
| |
|
| |
| Zavala saw the [[Dreaming City]]. He saw Cabal ships filling the sky, spewing oily smoke.
| |
|
| |
| Then, an explosion—a sea of explosions, violent red and black with the fury of planet killers. Unmakers. But concentrated. Refined. Perfect for the size of the task at hand.
| |
|
| |
| He saw death for all in the Dreaming City, bodies facedown in the crystal grit of their palace. [[Mara Sov]], [[Petra Venj]], [[Corsair]]s, countless [[Awoken]]. Collateral.
| |
|
| |
| For at the bottom of a crater was the shattered body of a crystal-bound [[Hive]] god, destroyed at [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|her]] most vulnerable moment, her trickery silenced forever.
| |
|
| |
| Then a war, yes, probably—but a small one.
| |
|
| |
| And behind it, blood on two pairs of hands. Two willing to pay the price for peace.
| |
|
| |
| "No."
| |
|
| |
| Zavala broke the Psion's gaze, and the vision stopped abruptly. The Legionary grunted. "That your official answer?"
| |
|
| |
| Zavala straightened. "My answer is no," he said clearly.
| |
|
| |
| The Legionary nodded. "Fair enough," it said and took a half-step back from the Psion.
| |
|
| |
| The Psion punched a code into a small wrist-mounted screen. There was a brief chime, a muffled pop, and the Psion slumped to the ground, blood pouring from a wound in its head.
| |
|
| |
| Zavala reached for his weapon again, but the Legionary laughed and held up a hand. "The volunteers knew that's part of the deal. Now nobody knows what the question was except for you and the Empress. Safest that way."
| |
|
| |
| "Gotta go and tell her your answer," the Cabal called as it climbed into the shuttle. "Hope you made the right choice!"
| |
|
| |
| The craft chugged into the sky, its jets spattering Zavala's boots with the Psion's blood.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Hothead has a similar appearance to the [[Dragon's Breath]], suggesting that it may be a [[Crux/Lomar]] rocket launcher, or at the very least a modified one.
