When the [[Pyramids]] [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|arrived]] in the [[Solar System]], the Vanguard began to pull most of its assets in the Solar System back the Last City in preparation for an assault.

Soon after, the Young Wolf visited Hawthorne and they discussed the recent events. She noted how busy her friend had been recently and joked that they were not doing bad for someone she had once dragged out of the mountains half-dead. She informed them that she had been talking with Zavala a lot recently in order to remind him of all they had fought for and draw strength from those memories, and she also expressed gratefulness for having been allowed to be a part of those achievements. Louis began to nuzzle at her and Hawthorne absentmindedly fed him scraps of meat while admitting her feelings of fear about the Pyramids. Hawthorne gave her condolences to the Young Wolf about the loss of Sloane and Asher, who had remained on Titan and Io instead of evacuating in order to continue their fight against the Darkness. Glancing out briefly over the Last City, she then turned back to the Young Wolf and noted that while they did sometimes lose, she hoped they would never quit and vowed that she would not either.<ref name="NQ"/> | Soon after, the Young Wolf visited Hawthorne and they discussed the recent events.

When some Guardians began utilizing the Darkness to fight the enemies of humanity with [[Stasis]], Hawthorne was amongst those in the Tower who supported this approach. She argued that as it was not the Light that made Guardians special but how they used it, then the powers drawn from the Darkness were no different.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/behind-enemy-lines-2 Behind Enemy Lines 2]</ref> | When some Guardians began utilizing the Darkness to fight the enemies of humanity with [[Stasis]], Hawthorne was amongst those in the Tower who supported this approach.

===Befriending Ada=== | |||
{{Quote|I should probably get back down there. I have a lot of work ahead of me."<br>"Don't be a stranger, Ada. You come up from your cave more often, you might find you have more friends than you think.|Hawthorne befriending Ada after helping her find a new way forward for the Black Armory}} | |||
Several months after the arrival of the Black Fleet, Hawthorne became concerned about [[Ada-1]], the leader of the [[Black Armory]] whose [[Lost Forges|forges]] had been lost during the Vanguard's retreat to the City during the arrival. After another day of hearing sounds of construction and cursing coming from Ada's workspace, Hawthorne entered the Black Armory to check on the Exo. She attempted to offer her assistance, but Ada noted that is she could not interpret the armory schematics or convince Zavala to stop bothering her about getting the forges operational again it was unlikely. Hawthorne questioned her about why she was doing all this and what the goal of the Black Armory was. Ada explained that they were to stand as a shield for humanity against the Darkness with the forges as their tools. Noting that plan had not gone well considering the disappearance of Mars and the other worlds caused the weaponsmith to snap if Hawthrone had only come down to mock her. Attempting to backtrack, Hawthorne acknowledged that while they were not friends and that she was unsure the reclusive Exo had any of those, which earned her another glare from Ada, she was trying to help and suggested that perhaps Ada could find another way to assist humanity and move past the legacy of the forges. Ada was reluctant but agreed to consider the possibility before sticking out a stiff hand for Hawthorne to shake. Amused by the Exo's awkwardness, Hawthrone grasped her hand and wished her luck before requesting she try to keep the noise down so as not to bother Louis.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Pathfinding#II._Lost|Pathfinding II. Lost]]''</ref> | |||
Sometime after visiting Ada, Hawthorne was surprised when the Exo came to see her in the Tower's bazaar. She noted that she had been thinking about visiting her again due to how quiet it had become and was pleased to hear that things had been going more smoothly for Ada. Questioning about what the answer had been to finding a new way forward, Hawthrone was interested to hear it involved centuries old tech created by [[Clovis Bray I|a megalomaniac]]. As they stood watching the Last City, Ada admitted that Hawthorne's comment about not having friends had stuck with her since their last conversation. Hawthorne attempted to apologize, but the weaponsmith cut her off and admitted that social interactions had never been her strong suit. Softly noting that it was hard to put oneself out there in the world, especially with a past like Ada's, Hawthorne was pleased to hear that the Exo was finding it easier now to work with others on her path. Hawthorne placed a hand on Ada's shoulder as she prepared to leave to return to her work and told her not to be a stranger and that if she left workspace behind more often she might just find she did have friends.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Pathfinding#V._Forward|Pathfinding V.
