Destiny 2: Silent Presence

[k-l-bryan]

I wonder how Jalaal told Lakshmi and Hideo to go fuck themselves when they raised their plan about replacing the Vanguard?  I would have loved to have seen that conversation.  I might put on my Dead Orbit ornaments today, proud in the knowledge that I chose the right faction. :D

Requiem for the Departed

Chapter 18: Actionable Intel

Fandom: Destiny Series: Chasing Fate Category: Gen Chapter: 18/24 Words: 3k

Story Summary:

Time is on no one's side. After the unsanctioned pursuit and murder of Uldren Sov, consequences come knocking on Harley's door from an unexpected source. How do you continue onward when it seems like the entire world is against you?

Thrust into a conspiracy full of moving parts, it's hard to know who to trust. When allies are scarce and danger lurks around every turn, do you risk reaching out to those close to you or do you place the trust only in yourself?

Chapter Summary:

Tristan and Rogue do some more digging into the Praxic data leak. Meanwhile, Sarren and Aunor receive new information.

Chapter Preview:

Tristan usually had no problems when it came to patience. He could sit still and wait for opportune moments to occur. He knew the importance of gathering information so one could walk into a fight with the knowledge to help themselves win.

However, he was swiftly learning that it was impossible for him to remain patient under certain circumstances.

“Don’t care if they seem to be helping prepare for oncoming disaster, I still don’t trust New Monarchy further than I can throw ‘em.”

“How can you be so cynical? They’re contributing resources to the evacuations, and donating huge amounts to the preparedness funds set up in the City.”

“Their good works have always, always been cover for their shady, regressive agenda. Now is no different. They don’t actually care about people; they’re just buying influence and positive public perception. Doesn’t change the nonsense they stand for.”

“Maybe not, but we’re looking at a hellish crisis. Maybe it doesn’t matter what their ulterior motives are. The help is still help.”

“Sure, in the short term. But where’d they get all those riches in the first place? You think Hideo was just born swimming in glimmer? That concentration of wealth was extracted and amassed at the expense of the very people New Monarchy claims to help when they dole out little slivers of it from their bottomless coffers. Why should New Monarchy get to decide how to deploy that concentrated economic power? And sure, their largesse comes in impressive bales of glimmer, but it’s invariably a pitiful fraction of what they have. Proportionally, you spend more on ramen in a typical week than New Monarchy spends on charity. Wouldn’t we all be better off if that wealth were more equitably distributed or controlled? You know, in the public interest?”

“...Huh.”

Destiny: Faction Stickers

A series of stickers based on the 3 factions of Destiny; Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, and New Monarchy.  Gonna be trying to get a few of these printed to see how they look and adding them to my product repertoire.  Might add them to my teepublic store if people are interested in that.

Hope you like them!
