Shelter - Rin

[we'll] take her in and to try and 'rebuild' hers... [ Sympathetic reply (in-game) of Rin's situation ]

[[V-Simulation] is now Online and true...]

[ [REDACTED]'s POV]

[ [ [REDACTED]'s POV]

[the pod of Rin's came out of the [Void] and ended up within one of the certain planet's many moons' far-off Orbits]

[A few Minutes after said-pod had instantly entered into the Unknown but Oddly familiar System, 6 Incoming lights flashed from a distance]

[1 second later, 6 Unknown vessels came out of Warp travel and just barely stopped close at Rin's pod]

[GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01)'s POV]

[It was quiet for a few seconds until came response from one of the vessels that stopped close to her pod]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "Okay, made it out of Warp jump. What can you tell us, Ghost?" [asked the GRDN's companion that is now scanning on the pod's outer layer from inside the GRDN's ship]

Ghost-01: *"The pod...I'm detecting DNA inside. It's- No, 'she's'....'Human'!?"* [my Ghost exclaimed in shock that connected to half of my FT inside of their own Jumpships]

GRDN-HR-AN-FE(02): <*"What!?"*> [says a female GRDN FT member of mine through the FT-Chat]

GRDN-TN-EO-ME(03): <*"That should not be?..."*> [stoic as ever our FT's GRDN TN member yet with a surprise tone in his voice as his Ghost is also reading on the unknown pod that is now being hauled up by our other 3 FT members for Transmat]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "Hold on people, the [REDACTED] and the Vanguard is contacting us now..."

[Holographic live feed connected to all and mine]

GRDN-TN-CZ: <*"GRDNs, we're glad you're alive and well."*>

GRDN-HR-C-6: <*"You guys didn't get one of your ships blown off from the earlier encounter, right?~"*>

GRDN-WK-IR: <*"Cayde..."*> [sighing from her FT member's usual carefree speech]

GRDN-HR-C-6: <*"What? [he shrugged from the screen] I'm just checking, besides their ships would've ended up like Eris'-"*>

GRDN-WK-IR: <*"Which you stole and got her's destroyed while having Guardian-WK-HN-ME(01) here piloted it whilst almost being consumed by an Oversoul wave."*> [IR interrupted C-6 but he ignored her and continued his rant]

GRDN-HR-C-6: <*"-If they did warped again while having one of the engines getting blown away from that constant Hive assault that they encountered earlier while escaping the Moon's Orbit! They could've just waited out while repairing theirs'."*> [shouts in concern which is kind of uncharacteristic of C-6 sometimes getting serious in these types of missions]

GRDN-WK-EO-FE(04): <*"Oh my, Cayde. I'm touched~"*> [says my other GRDN-WK counterpart in sarcasm]

GRDN-HR-C-6: <*"Your welcome WK."*> [shots back humorously]

GRDN-TN-CZ: <*"At Any case!...[sternly glanced at his Vanguard counterpart with his expression of saying 'are you done?' while sighing back to me and my FT]....Have you located the source of the [anomoly] close to Io?"*> [mentions to me]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "Tell [REDACTED] that 'his' 'invention' is a big success... [I said in dry humor] And yes, the Energy readings of Void Light has stopped close above the location of where the Traveler last made It's stop on Io. Asher down there is confirming it too when we were in Warp, saying large amounts of Light that originated close to Echo Mesa looking over at his area and then he described the Light instantly shot forth above Piercing beyond the skies and above Orbit. Perhaps making it through and confirming [REDACTED] with his predicted Simulation along with Osiris." [I explained to the Vanguard]

GRDN-TN-AN-FE(06): <*"It is strange for [REDACTED] to suddenly do this, but what of the pod? And of the girl inside of it? Well, Fireteam leader?"*> [our other GRDN TN says and she questions me]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "Hmm.......commander? Shall we go for-" [our Jumpships' alarms went off interrupting my words]

GRDN-HR-HN-ME(05): <*"Guys save it for later! 3 Incoming Cabal warships about to drop out of Warp!"*>

GRDN-WK-EO-FE(04): <*"They are either here for us, or they too have also picked up this anomaly."*> [stoically says that is almost similar to IR whenever she prepares herself for another fight while preparing her Jumpship to act]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "orders, commander?" [I continued my response towards CZ]

GRDN-TN-CZ: <*"[REDACTED].... [CZ swiftly turns towards the one [Guardian being] that has not yet made any word since our previous warp action from earlier] Is this the 'survivor' whom you told us to get and assist on?..."*> [passiently waits for [REDACTED]' words]

Guardian-PK: <*"Yes. Yes....this girl is the one whom you/we have found. Exactly as HE and me/us said. [pauses for a few seconds while at the same time warp readings are spiking high on all of our Jumpships indicating that those Cabal Frigates are about to drop out] Bring her in. Let her know of the Light's comfort from now on." [says looking up from the screen on their end]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "Affirmative. Ghosts, Transmat the pod and the girl inside my ship. we'll get her out of the cradle once we get back deep in the Vanguard quarters."

Ghosts of mine's and my FT: <*"Roger!~"*> [they all chimed as they quickly scanned the pod working on safely storing her just behind my cockpit]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): "Guardians, check your formations! Let's head home, people." [I cooly said while setting coordinates back to Earth]

GRDN-HR-AN-FE(02): <*"you got it!~"*> [says excitedly, perhaps planning on being friends with our new guest inside? Or some new Loot of the dozens of Exotic Engrams that she has right now?]

GRDN-TN-EO-ME(03): <*"Hm."*> [softly says but still hearable]

GRDN-WK-EO-FE(04): <*"Alright, GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01)."*> [says to me in another one of her flirtatious tones....sighing, but a good one]

GRDN-HR-HN-ME(05): <*"Can't wait to head back for some Ramen!~"*> [says in an almost C-6-like manner. What the heck did you do to him, C-6?....sighing from the headache of another 'C-6']

GRDN-TN-AN-FE(06): <*"Yes sir!"*> [stoicism kicking in in her voice]

[Once the pod with the girl inside are Transmatted fully inside my Jumpship just mag-locked safely behind my driver seat, 3+ Seconds later the Cabal ships dropped out and started firing missile after missile towards our Jumpships]

GRDN-HR-HN-ME(05): <*"Uh, guys!?"*> [unconcerned panic from the GRDN HR]

GRDN-WK-HN-ME(01): <*"take us to Warp, now Ghost."*> [says prepared]

Ghost-01: *"Already on it, GRDN!"* [activates]

[just when the missiles hit our Jumpships 6 of us all instantly 'teleported' away from Jupiter and are now enroute back to Earth]

[Guardian-PK's POV]

[While GRDN FT: [New Light] was talking amongst themselves during Warp travel, as 'noisy' as they're ever be when being together, and checking on the oddly enough young-aging pod scanning it with the Ghosts every now and then. Back in the New Tower with [REDACTED] (now half-identified as Guardian-PK) and the Vanguards continuing on the situation with the possibility of the girl being a lost Golden Age colonist whom was put into cryo from the first incoming Darkness and how me and Osiris were able to 'predict' this happening through the [INTE FRST], despite the fact that the '[gardeners]' Cannot Simulate us]

GRDN-TN-CZ: "I doubt that she can still be operational while out in some unknown part of the Vacuum for Centuries, Cayde." [slowly shakes head at the said-GRDN's theories]

GRDN-HR-C-6: "Seriously though! Ever read one of those old Pre-Golden age sci-fi medias from your tacpad? There's this game that I like: about this one guy and his A.I are adrift in space and were in cryo for like 4 Years- No! I think the one that's been drifting in space for 28+ Years while in cryo and then somehow the ship and it's crew ended up in a super advanced artificial world closely outside of the galaxy and then they-" [tries to continue but gets interrupted by IR]

GRDN-WK-IR: "we get it Cayde. You've been on about that other hobby of yours ever since your GRDN HRs came back from the Manhatten Zone. Even closed to that wide area of Radiation before sending in a Bombing run in the area." [chuckles humorously]

GRDN-HR-C-6: "Hey it worked right, Ikora? Well they had to use the distraction between the Fallen and the Hive close to the contaminated parts and then escaping by Sparrows towards off the harbors, then our boys swooped in and leveled the place close to one of those old shopping districts near to where they found the old medias. You should check one of them from time to time, but have to archive most of the Loot digitally first."

[as the 3 Vanguards continue to discuss both of the origins of the arriving guest and C-6's 'fantastical' findings from his GRDN HR Scouts to IR and CZ, Guardian-PK chuckled at the 3 known Guardian 'leaders' and leave them as they are while overlooking [through] the ceiling of the recently new war-room of the Vanguard and other personnel's, to where GRDN-FT: [New Light]'s direction of their warp travel is right now smiling to [self] ]

GRDN-WK-OS: <*"I did what you've asked Vexbane, while having to wiped the traces of that girl's universal coordinates so that the Vex couldn't easily Simulate it through their Network. It was completely easy on our part here."*> [OS informs [me]/[us] & [my]/[our] Ghost(s) through the Com-Link]

Guardian-PK: "good then. Now that is all from [us]. you'll be on your way back to the Forest as [I] attend to Ana later upon another one of her 'requests' about doing EP experiments." [replies back to OS in the Private Coms]

GRDN-WK-OS: <*"Hmph. Even after ridding most of this System's end Threats, including our part with Panoptes 6 Months ago, you are still not put into higher permanent positions within the Vanguard and any other Orders within other Guardians? I find your decision to do so understandable but odd even after rejecting offers from some of the most capable factions around the System."*> [OS releases a good laugh from mentioning what [we've] accomplished for the Past 4+ Years]

Guardian-PK: [released a strained laugh] "trust me Osiris, tempting as they are [we] rather be mostly on the Field instead to how Cayde is, yet even then he's getting more of his GRDN HR freedom back right now. we know what [we're] doing is for all of the individuals and people around [us], so this isn't [me] and perhaps all of us being restrained to just one job and one Front. After what happened during....the Red War, I couldn't let it happen again. All of us here Won't." [trails off after mentioning what Ghaul did a Year ago]

GRDN-WK-OS: <*"your dedication for the Light and It's Ways are as usual admirable, which is why truly we need more Guardians like you and [New Light] to keep us going in this ever Dire War."*> [says in compliment]

Guardian-PK: "Well you're one as well, 'old' man." [simply says accepting the words]

GRDN-WK-OS: <*"At any case, once you meet up with the female and get her to reacquaint around where she is now, meet us here in the INFT FRST for me & Sagira to have slight modifications for her."*>

Guardian-PK: "No worries. [Ghost] already puts it on memory." [nods to the old GRDN WK in confirmation]

GRDN-WK-OS: <*"we shall see then."*>

Guardian-PK: "Be Brave and Have Faith." [nods in farewell]

GRDN-WK-OS: "Hm." [says until finally ending the transmission]

[[my]/[our] [Ghost(s)] finally expresses [his]/[her] opinion Mentally Inside [my]/[our] head(s)]

Ghost(s)-(00): *"I do hoped that what you're doing would be the best for her if she too becomes a Guardian here."*

Guardian-PK: "This version of the [Original] has seen....enough suffering from her time alone. Besides, the one that [New Light] has right now, from where she natively came from in that [Simulation] has ended, but she will have a new beginning within this [Simulation] as [we] 'adopt' her here. for [we] have [Simulated] a bit to know which of Rin will walk through from here on out in the Future. [we've] done this before, [buddy]. This would be No different from the other [Trillions]." [calmly says to [our] [Ghosts]]

Ghost(s)-(00): *"yes [Guardian]. It has been so since the Previous [WAR]. [I'm]/[we're] glad you are still fine and Devoted along with Many of the [U.H.H]."* [says lastly while Mentally turning to the Vanguards and the workers there going along with their scheduled activities and ongoing mission plannings]

[[both] of [us] now fell silent taking a few seconds of looking back down to the front of the V-table]

[Then...]

Guardian-PK/Guardians: "Now, [[Simulation]-(SHTR): 6,999,999,999,993/116] is commencing towards 'first part'. Time to settle this with one more [HY-EG]. Hopefully Not the last one." [cooly narrows eyes Burned Bright for a moment from HIS, and [mine's]/[ours]. Through THE ONE, and [???] ]

[[V-Simulation] continues off-screen]

[End of [Simulated] AU short-story]]

(There you have it). [chuckling while softly smiles at the possibility]
