Meeting with the Guardian, Asher explained to them that he believed the Taken were going to use the Pyramidion to Take the entire Vex Collective at once using the warp gates within. He noted that he had lost his arm within the Pyramidion, and feared what they would lose if they followed the Taken inside. <ref name="Dynasty">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dynasty]]''</ref> The Guardian departed for the Pyramidion, which the Taken had already begun infiltrating, and Ikora worried about the devastation that the Taken would unleash should Ir Arok Take the entire collective.

Asher responded that losing the Guardian to the Pyramidion would also be a blow to the Last City and implored his assistant not to venture further into the Pyramidion than required before also asking them not to die. Soon, Asher and Ikora were contacted by the Guardian and learned that Ir Arok was slain, but that some Taken had entered the Pyramidion through a warp gate before it was destroyed. Ikora thanked the Guardian, but Asher stated that he had something that he wished to tell them only in person.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dynasty]]: [[The Long Play]]''</ref> When the Guardian arrived at his camp, Asher admitted that when they first met, he assumed the Guardian was useless and that they doubtlessly understood why. However, he admitted to being wrong, and noted that they had survived entering the Pyramidion, although not to the lake where he and his fireteam ventured. Disconcerted, Asher noted the Vex never failed to leave a mark, a fact he was sure the Taken would learn in time, and informed the Guardian that they warranted his further observation.<ref name="Dynasty"/> | ||
