The Drifter's crew found a series of abandoned monolith-like structures on the planet, which they discovered contained [[Monolith creatures|strange, amorphous shadow-like creatures]] imprisoned in cryogenic suspension. They determined that these entities were the source of the Light-repressing fields and that they shared some characteristics with the [[Hive]], although the Drifter regretted not having a scientist among his crew who could study them better.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)#Ancient Apocalypse Robes|Ancient Apocalypse Robes]]''</ref>

They soon discovered that not all of the creatures were imprisoned in the monoliths and that some roamed out in the wild. One night while they slept in the frozen wilderness due to it still being warmer than inside the cryogenic monoliths, a member of the Drifter's crew froze to death but was unable to be revived by his Ghost due to the proximity of one of the creatures. This loss angered them, but it also increased the Drifter's determination to find a way to take the creatures off-world as they could change conflicts between Lightbearers forever. However, the crew also started becoming paranoid due to how unlikely it seemed for one of the creatures to be in close enough proximity to prevent resurrection, particularly so soon after they had realized the potential to weaponize the creatures.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)#Ancient Apocalypse Gloves|Ancient Apocalypse Gloves]]''</ref>

Not long after this first death, the Drifter and his crew moved into one of the monoliths to get better protection against the roaming creatures despite the cold. Tempers began rising, which only worsened when a second member of the crew died due to the proximity of one of the wandering creatures. Some members of the crew began to believe one of the others had lured the creature close, although the Drifter thought the creature itself had deliberately only killed one of them as a warning to leave. When one of the Lightbearers drew his gun, the Drifter warned them all that the next time one of them did that he would kill them all.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)#ncient Apocalypse Boots|Ancient Apocalypse Boots]]''</ref>
A little over a year after they arrived, only the Drifter and three others remained, and their ship had ceased working due to the cold. The cold had killed them thousands of times, and they had been driven to near-insanity by their paranoia. As they settled in for another night in a monolith, they all suddenly lost their connection to the Light due to [[Dominus Ghaul]] entrapping the [[Traveler]] in a [[Traveler Cage|cage]]. However, they each believed that the others were responsible and drew their weapons. Unsure if they really intended to kill each other, the Drifter still lived up to his promise and murdered all three of his remaining companions.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)#Ancient Apocalypse Bond|Ancient Apocalypse Bond]]''</ref>

The Drifter's Ghost 'snapped' at this point, informing the Drifter of a way they could capture the creatures. The Drifter asked how they would do such a thing, as the creatures were undoubtedly dangerous. His Ghost told him of a set of modifications they could perform on his shell, but that they would require components from other Ghosts - the Ghosts of the Drifter's deceased teammates which had now scattered across the icy planet.<ref name="GPB">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - Item Description: [[Gambit Prime Suit (Warlock)#Bond|Gambit Prime Bond]]''</ref>
