*'''Osiris:''' Who gave radiolaria such a mundane title? "Vex milk"! As though it's only a byproduct of the Vex. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' It is not a byproduct. It is the Vex. We forget that at our peril. | |||

*'''Osiris:''' Radiolaria is a living substance. It has its own motive power, to the extent that any single cell can. | |||
*'''Osiris:''' Now those cells, have a greater degree of independence. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' Any that disagree, will be swept over the falls just the same. | |||

*'''Osiris:''' With or without the Conductor, the Vex she altered will continue expanding their influence throughout Sol. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' The Vex were powerful foes even without her meddling. This I admit. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' But we are even more powerful. This I declare! | |||

*'''Saint-14:''' Misraaks is too… busy. But I had to shoo Eido away! I think she is excited at the idea of another adventure. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' Her time chasing pirates with Drifter was… enlightening. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' I told her that the Conductor and the Vex are still a threat, and that I could not let my friend's daughter risk her life because she is bored. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' She said she was not bored, and just wants to help. Well, I said, she can help us from the Tower and the Eliksni Quarter. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' That's why we do what we do. There may be new dangers, but we still have the safety of the Last City. | |||

*'''Saint-14:''' Hmm, I wonder where Eramis and House Salvation are. I thought she would be chasing the Echo just like House Dusk. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' I'm sure she'll resurface. Losing support from the Witness and Xivu Arath most likely made her too vulnerable to take action. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' Her House has lost enough people to attrition and defectors. Joining her was a risk, and plenty of Eliksni are seeing the outcome. | |||
*'''Saint-14:''' Will Misraaks welcome these House Salvation defectors? | |||
*'''Ikora:''' I hope so. We gain nothing through retribution. I think the Kell of Light knows that. | |||

*'''Saint-14:''' How is Crow settling in as Hunter Vanguard? Is he being good bird? | |||
*'''Ikora:''' He's doing well. He stepped into the role with grace. In truth, this just codified something he'd already been doing. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' Crow struggled when he first came to the Tower, no doubt. But now it can't function without him. | |||
*'''Ikora:''' He tells me Cayde gave him everything he needed to do the job. I suspect it involved a dare. | |||

*'''Ikora:''' I can only assume the Conductor isn't able to command anything unconnected to the Vex radiolaria. | *'''Ikora:''' I can only assume the Conductor isn't able to command anything unconnected to the Vex radiolaria. | ||
