Still can't, how wasted this storyarc was. It might be my personal hangup, but it is another case of sentient machine killed off/removed from the story in popculture; like - no one has idea how to handle that, so better scrap it and bother no more.

So how long until people start simping for Rasputin?

[searsage]

"He's not well Shaxx..I'm under strict orders to keep visiters out..even the vanguard.." Saladin warned

"So it's true.." Shaxx breathed incredulously, there was a dangerous hysterical lilt to the warlord's voice..

"I was told… they were one in the same, the warmind and the Exo I met, is that true..?"

"I don't have those answers for you Shaxx…if your lucky you'll catch Ana before she hits orbit, ask her all you want, put that fire to rest and return to your watchful eye over your newlights…he..he can't answer those question for you.."

"He's in there, isnt he? Why is he hiding.. I want to see the warmind that slayed the iron lords.." The titan snapped impatiently, it was as if only half his words made it through the man's thick helmit, Saladin couldn't understand why the crucible vendor was so kayed up, but also feared it may escalate if he didn't get rid of the titan quickly.

"He's under observation, with strict orders to stay inside, he won't come out to meet you old friend, as I said no one goes in no one comes out.." Saladin grits,

Shaxx remained silent save for a tight sigh bellowing hot steam from the gaps inbetween tense man's helmet, the singular horn on his helmet shift as his gaze drifts back to the keep's doorway.

"I wanted to ask it..the warmind, if it knew his answer to my question, Felwinter…he never-.. No, I need to see it, I need to see him.." Shaxx mused darkly his words only solidifying his manic resolve.

But even then Saladin could feel the thirst for violence exuding from the furious titan, not that he ever had a good read on the impulsive warlord, nor could the Valus comprehend what was upsetting the man so deeply that he'd single handedly fight his way up the mountain to satify his curiosity.

What was lord Felwinter to him…?

Saladin's eyes widened as brief realisation washed over the older titan, but before Saladin could even open his mouth to inquire about the comment the titan starts pushing forward his shoulders squared in defiant determination, solar energy steaming in his bare scar covered palm, the cabal stand idle, knowing better then to interfere.

He'd made quite an impression at the foot of the peak…

"Stand down Shaxx, Your making a mistake.." Saladin warns his eyes nerrowing as he moved to block the men's warpath. His words however were lost on deaf ears, the stubbron warlord never listened, not during twilight gap and certainly not now..

Saladin's teeth grit in frustration..

On the outskirts of the keep's snow dusted grounds the empresse's legionaries watch on with silent intrigue as the last of the iron lords stands against the vanguard's warlord.

//RECORDING AS FOLLOWS…/

[fw:01] He did it. He’s… gone.

[fw:02] I cannot seem to put a name to the way that I feel, knowing that I gave so much of myself to bring him back. That, after everything that I sacrificed—that we sacrificed—he was able to make that decision.

[fw:03] To give his life to the greater cause. To die in service to humanity’s future…

[fw:04] [laughs, briefly.] It is most certainly what I might have done. What I would have done, had the universe been but a tad less kind to me.

[fw:05] I spoke with Ana Bray again today. She has taken the loss quite hard. I suspect that she thought of Rasputin as her own child, after a fashion. In a way, would that make her my grandmother?

[fw:06] Osiris has been hellbent on finding his colony on Neptune. Everything that has happened has only served to reignite the fire in him that I knew so well. I have kept out of his way. I believe it to be the best course of action, at present.

[fw:07] The Light only knows what waits for us at the end of this dark night. There is only one thing that I can say for certain.

[fw:08] Rasputin’s sacrifice will not be in vain.
