Xûr asked Orin to "forgive them" while she crushed his windpipe and further interrogated him. After being freed from Orin's grasp, he reached into his robes to reveal a silver jar. Misinterpreting Xûr's actions as a sign of hostility, Orin struck the Agent in the chest with her war hammer, sending him flying and breaking his spine. Xûr survived but acquired a permanently hunched posture due to the blow.<ref name="Debt">'''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Ecdysis|Ecdysis]], [[Lore:Ecdysis#Debt|Debt]]''</ref> | ||
