The Spider's plan to be smuggled to safety by The Drifter went awry, however, as the pod he used as a disguise fell into the possession of the [[House of Salvation]]. The Salvation Fallen, despite being in the doldrums after their leadership was crushed, have been hijacking shipments here and there along trade routes. To rescue the on-the-run crime boss, Drifter contacts the Guardian, explaining that he needs their help with reclaiming some stolen cargo. Once the Guardian located the containment pod on Europa, with Spider inside, he was incensed for the Guardian to see him in such a position of helplessness, telling Drifter they would have words about this upon completion of his journey. Drifter turned the conversation towards extra recompense, "hazard pay", sensing an opportunity for profit in the compromised position of the Spider. Knowing all too well what was occurring, Spider was indignant, believing Drifter to be an amateur extortionist. When threatened with return to the Tangled Shore, knowing full well that Mara Sov has a big bounty on his head, Spider relents and engages in the haggle for his safety, offering up his Ketch as payment for the extra trouble. The only problem with obtaining the Ketch is that House Salvation currently controlled it. | The Spider's plan to be smuggled to safety by The Drifter went awry, however, as the pod he used as a disguise fell into the possession of the [[House of Salvation]].

Spider relayed that someone had rallied House Salvation, and they were currently on the search for a specific artifact of the Dark Ages. Drifter assumed that such artifact recovery was beneath House Salvation, and that someone "higher up" had to be giving them orders. After the Guardian defeated the leader of the Fallen pack, it becomes clear that the being rallying House Salvation is its original leader, [[Eramis]], who is now missing from her Stasis prison. Upon learning this, Drifter declares its time to chase after whatever artifacts and treasures Eramis may be after, as she is too dangerous to leave to her own devices. Spider then spits that the Guardian must prevent Drifter from piloting the Ketch, as he knows he'll treat it like "one of his own", which is badly. | ||
Finally, the Spider reached the safety of the Last City, setting up a new hideout within the Eliksni Quarter, taking residence within a make-shift bar that would be named [[The Ether Tank]]. As he organized, the Drifter spoke with the Guardian, Mithrax and his daughter Eido about the return of the Shipstealer, who was not only looking for relics of the Dark Ages but was rallying the Old Crews of Fallen pirates under her banner. Though Mithrax wished to rally the Vanguard to deal with Eramis, Drifter clarified that Zavala was busy preparing for the next move of Calus, and Ikora already had her Hidden searching for Eramis from the shadows. Drifter then states that leaves "us", opening up the question of going after the pirates as their own crew, which Mithrax was reluctant to do but relented when all were in agreement on charting that course. | Finally, the Spider reached the safety of the Last City, setting up a new hideout within the Eliksni Quarter, taking residence within a make-shift bar that would be named [[The Ether Tank]].
