This raises the question, could the assassination attempt on Zavala be retaliation for the destruction of the Almighty and the believed death of Amtec, not the will of Caiatl? Amtec was involved in the attempt to crash the Almighty into the Tower in a previous season however, the Almighty was destroyed before that could happen. The tech can prevent a Ghost from resurrecting a Guardian.įurther in The Palindrome lore, Yirix and the other Psion also mention being Amtec’s vengeance. The tech in this gun is the same tech that Crow found that led him to suspect the assassination attempt on Zavala. This weapon is used on the Guardian’s Ghost, stunning the Ghost before it could resurrect its Guardian. Once the Guardian falls, another Psion emerges with another weapon.

In The Palindrome lore, a Psion named Yirix watches a Guardian kill countless Cabal before shooting the Guardian down. Lore from The Palindrome Hand Cannon may indicate who is behind the failed assassination attempt. She believes a warrior deserves no less, but this has raised question around who actually hired the Psion assassin and why. Caiatl stated that she would not hire an assassin to kill Commander Zavala, but that she would do it herself while looking Zavala in the eyes. Outside of the game, the Destiny Twitter account was taken over by Empress Caiatl responding to comments from the community. Osiris’s plan is to keep Zavala’s security minimal, to bait out another assassination attempt. Osiris scolds Crow for not following instructions and keeping his mask on, but eventually charges Crow with being Zavala’s bodyguard.

Zavala informs Ikora Rey of the incident, leading Osiris to confront Crow. Shrugging it off as a hallucination, Zavala thinks he is being haunted by the memory of Uldren Sov. Quickly dispatching the Psion, Zavala looks around to see that who he believed to be Uldren Sov, was no longer hiding in the bushes. While Crow hides in a bush without his mask on, Zavala catches a glimpse of him before Crow shouts a warning just moments before a Psion attempts to assassinate Zavala. Crow’s suspicions come true as Commander Zavala goes out for an evening stroll in one of the gardens of the Last City. Upon further investigation of the Cabal, Crow comes to believe that the Psion’s and the Cabal are planning to assassinate Commander Zavala, leading Crow to take it upon himself to keep an eye on the Commander. Inversely, Lord Saladin believes enemies will always be enemies and should be eliminated. Crow is learning the threats of the Hive and believes that without an alliance with some of our current enemies, the Hive will kill everyone. Crow, being involved in investigating the Cabal threat, shows empathy to enemies of the Guardians like the Fallen and the Cabal.

Over the past few weeks of Season of the Chosen, Destiny 2 has been showing varying outlooks on the current conflict. RELATED: Why Destiny 2: Trials of Osiris May Be Cancelled Until Next Month Empress Caiatl’s willingness to work with the Guardians raises some questions about a potential alliance without the Guardians officially joining the Cabal forces.
