There is something about the atmosphere of the Cabal shipwreck on the Dreadnought that I find horribly depressing whenever I go inside or even have to pass by. I just find the struggling Cabal hold-outs, fighting their lonely, desperate rear-guard action against this overwhelming force of alien Hive, sad. I felt bad that I had to run through their ship killing their retreating troops as they were being overrun by the Taken anyway. It felt like being a bully, piling on to a helpless, defenseless child in the school yard. It was especially hard for me to see some of the major Colossus in those missions where you go into the ship, trying to keep the shit together with the swarming Taken after we've already killed all the Cabal leadership that led the attack on the Dreadnought. I felt more emotion from playing that mission than anything else in this entire game.
I've always found the Cabal to be the most interesting enemy. The Hive and Fallen are just animals, and the Vex are clockwork machines with no souls. Why must we kill them still? I also don't buy the reason we had to kill the Shield Brothers in that strike, that is BS, we didn't lift a finger when the Awoken tried to blow up the Dreadnought earlier, but we try to stop the Cabal from doing so? I don't buy it.
I'd wear a shield and stand next to my brother Siege Dancers, Sand Eaters and Sky Burners any day.

The cabal literally cant go home unless theyre victorious. Watching them suffer the way they did in the first ttk mission made me want to help them
