You talk about us "lesser" factions as if we are weak when it is [b]YOU[/b], Dead Orbit, [b]YOU[/b] who promises a false salvation by fleeing like cowards. You tell us to join you or to perish with our Traveler, our Traveler that gave [b]YOU[/b] the means to equip yourself with a fleeing armada and more. Our Traveler that gave us and [b]YOU[/b] life and powers in which to defend what we have left and survive the Darkness. But instead of standing with the other Factions and defending what we have, defending all that [u]we have left[/u], you'd rather flee into the horizon like a bunch of cowards, leave us to protect Humanity alone and perish while you search for a false salvation.
[i]You'd rather see what we have left destroyed instead of preserved and built upon[/i]
When we were dying and helpless, the Traveler came to our aid. Now it's time to repay the debt. Our Traveler is dying but not helpless for it has us, Guardians. But you seek to take advantage of what gave us life, you neglect what saved us by running away.
The Darkness will never leave us alone unless we end it. By fleeing, all you're doing is prolonging your inevitable death. The only true salvation is standing United and facing the Darkness when it comes. Together we can push back the evil that seeks to destroy all we have left and rehabilitate our injured Traveler. Rehabilitate our Traveler to create another Golden Aged Humanity. More powerful than any Humanity that would have been made if you flee.
Those with Honor and Strength will stand with New Monarchy and Future War Cult whilst those who are weak minded and scared will flee with Dead Orbit.
"[i]If you don't make a stand, you'll have nothing to stand on"[/i]

That's all pretty and well-said...until you remember that big dying orb's name: The Traveler. TRAVEL. ER. As in, has traveled, is traveling, and will travel again. My ghost and I have been combing the wastes for any Intel and dead ghosts, and some of what we've seen...well, I have some evidence implicating that perhaps those creatures we call the Fallen were actually former recipients of the Traveler's "gifts"...until the travel went the way of Dead Orbit here as the Darkness closed in. I'm not saying Dead Orbit is right, I'm saying they're ultimately doing what the Traveler seems to do. Make of that what you will, I for one have chosen to not blindly put my eternal trust in that orb who I imagine will book it as soon as he's healed. So for now, rather than bend a knee to our "glorious" Tower and their orders to kill people like the Fallen who are ultimately victims of the REAL coward, I've taken to prioritizing the Reef as my home. Her Grace seems to at the very least have a more realistic plan and agenda, and their knowledge clearly surpasses the Tower's Xenophobic "It's not from Earth and it's not giving us free stuff! KILL IT!" And do not try to deny that is ultimately the Tower's agenda. We are nothing but tools to them. Instruments of war sent to kill and destroy without a second thought, never given time to actually learn about our enemies. They're using us. They treat us like nothing but the dead men and women we are. So don't be so quick to take the Traveler's side.
