H.E.L.M., The Last City, Earth

The Guardian enters the Eliksni Wing and witnesses Saint-14 and Osiris speaking with Mithrax.

Saint-14: We have already surrendered too much! Now they want more. Meat, cloth, medicine… people in the City need these things!

Mithrax: We ask for no more than you can give.

Saint-14: This Endless Night, it drains us. Our resources are spread too thin. What you give to them, you take from the mouths of our citizens!

Osiris: All right. That's enough. Ikora was firm: I am to provide for the Eliksni as if they were our own people.

Saint-14: Pff, our own people. Lakshmi was right. You are too political an animal, Osiris.

Mithrax: The House of Light… we wish to destroy the Vex. To aid the Guardian. Same as you, yes?

Saint-14: Do not start with this. Tell me, Mithrax: were I in one of your cities, would you bow to all of my demands?

Mithrax: We would give you anything you asked for.

Saint-14: Because you are so generous?

Mithrax: Because we wish to live.

Saint-14: I see. Hmph. You are fighting for your people as I would fight for mine, yes? It is true. Split the supplies as Ikora says. Anything to make this false night pass more quickly.

Saint-14 transmats out of the area. Mithrax looks at Osiris and then transmats out of the area.

Osiris: Interesting.

Osiris transmats out of the area.
