Nearly forty years later, Maya was part of new research team on Earth in Lhasa. They had built a form of mind-forking device in mimicry of the Vex gateway systems from Ishtar.

After experiencing an unknown event while using the device on herself, she became determined to reunite with her partner Chioma and quit the program. She advised her team to continue the log she started at the beginning of the experiments.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost Fragment: Vex 5|Ghost Fragment: Vex 5]]''</ref> Years later by the time of [[The City]] the same log was still being used by the Future War Cult, who continued to experiment with her device.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/City_Factions#Ghost Fragment: Future War Cult|Ghost Fragment: Future War Cult]]''</ref> | Nearly forty years later, Maya was part of new research team on Earth in Lhasa.
