There, the Guardian witness a skirmish between House Salvation and a fireteam composed of the Drifter, Eris Morn, and the [[Elisabeth Bray|Exo Stranger]]. The Europan Pyramid projects a [[Ziggurat]] in anticipation of the Guardian's arrival. There, the Exo Stranger recaps the destruction of the [[Black Heart|Heart of the Black Garden]] and the arrival of the Black Fleet and gives the Guardian their first Splinter of Darkness so they can understand and eventually wield Stasis against the Barons of House Salvation by interacting with [[Stasis Lock]]s in the Ziggurat.

Upon the Guardian's return from the Europan Pyramid, the Exo Stranger summons them, finally revealing her identity as Elsie Bray, and assists them in their mastery of Stasis by unlocking new aspects, grenade types, and fragments through her quest to unlock the journal left encrypted by her grandfather [[Clovis Bray I]].

While exploring the Vex Domain, Mithrax instructs the Guardian to slay the [[Subjugated Curator|curator]] of the domain and claim the [[Paradrome Cube|living code]] from its corpse. They escape the domain and return to him, where Ikora proposes the integration of Eliksni of House Light into the Last City, and he agrees, angering [[Lakshmi-2]] of the [[Future War Cult]].
