So.. Just raided with a squeaker.
Joined an LFG team for the Oryx CP.
Nothing out of the ordinary upon joining the chat. Mature voices, everyone sounding pretty chilled. Always a good sign. Upon arriving in the arena, the host tells me we're just waiting for our relic runner, who went AFK right before I joined. He's a 311 Titan, but the host assured me he was a decent runner. We were running the 8 and 8 strat, and I was to take plate one.
That's when I hear it. Distant, but still clearly audible.
"[i]Mom! I'll do it after![/i]"
The shrill, obnoxious voice grows in volume as the foul beast gets closer to its mic.
"[i]No! I said I'll do it after![/i]".
A loud scratching sound emanates through the chat as the squeaker's sticky fingers fumble with the headset.
"[i]K guys, I'm back! My Mom said I gotta go soon! So we have to kill Owyx fast! K?[/i]".
My hearts sinks, but I decide to stick it out. After clearing the initial adds, I notice our prepubescent 311 Titan browsing his inventory. Oryx slams the front left plate.
"[i]K guys! I'm changing to the Twilight Gawwison! Just so I can get to the welic faster![/i]".
I hear another fireteam member snicker.
The squeaker and I leap to the first plate. "One's up". It jumps to the first interdimensional platform, activates the exotic chestpiece's evade, gets propelled clear over the boundary wall and falls screaming into the abyss..
*Guardian Down*
"[i]OMG! What the hell! Someone got off their pwate![/i]"
[b]RoseScythe has left the Fireteam[/b]
Is edit: Just felt like sharing a tale with you fellow guardians. A tale of hard choices. Of paths taken. I hope you all enjoyed it. Cheers :)
Knight is run.

8 RepliesI have my own story. A friend messaged me who needed help with carrying this 7 year old kid through Normal Oryx. I tell him I'll do it if he can help me level up my 290 Hunter. For an hour, we struggle to complete Thalnok as 290's. The squeaker who shall remain unnamed due to Bungie's pro-cheating and anti-vigilante policies, was unable to listen to commands or suggestions. He kept running up to Thalnok and getting killed, much to our dismay. Finally we beat him and I held up my end of the deal. 20 minutes later, we have a fireteam assembled of 310+ Guardians willing to help this incompetent little kid. We get Oryx to 5% health on the first run, someone dies. We wipe and repeat. We try again, once again, we get Oryx low but some idiot wipes. 3rd run. We're on the 3rd rotation and the kid wipes the whole fireteam by "falling off his platform." As frustrated as we are, we give it a few more tries; all of them fail. We disband and I troll the kid for a little bit, following him around, teabagging him and annoying the sh*t out of him until I get bored and he leaves. The End.
