Ikora acknowledged the Young Wolf as she approached with a short bow, smiling softly at her Titan friend, "Hello Guardian, thank you for coming on such short notice. I understand you, were in the Dreaming City with Mara, yes?" The warlock asked, her smile turning a tad bit more amused by the end of her statement.

The young woman scoffed from underneath her helmet, ignoring the pleased flush that crawled up her neck at her friend's implications, "Yes, I was. And I can go back if you want me too?" She said, a small smirk across her face under her helmet as she watched Ikora's eyes narrow, "I'm sure someone else could help you in my absence." She said sarcastically.

Ikora, despite herself couldn't help the small chuckle that bubbled up out of her throat at the Guardian's teasing. This right here, was what the warlock lived for, to see the fruits of all their labor actually work, for the Titan before her to open up and trust them to be herself around her friends.

The fact she was comfortable enough to make and poke fun at all, well it made relief course through her body.

"Okay, I get the message." She said in surrender before she outstretched her one hand that held a datapad, "I'll stop, but onto other matters."

Once the Young Wolf grasped the tablet Ikora offered her, the Warlock vanguard resumed, "I've received a number of alarming sightings from hidden agents patrolling around the EDZ. All of them have reported back Scorn, on Earth."

The Titan frowned, "Scorn? What're they after?"

"We don't know, but Crow already confirmed trails of Dark ether leading into the mountains of the EDZ. If you're not too busy, I'd appreciate it if you could head up there with his intel and figure out where they're coming from."

"And once you do," Ikora stepped forward a half a step and made sure she was staring at the Titan, "Put a stop to it."

"So, the usual?" The Guardian asked with raised brow.

The warlock nodded her head, a small smirk now plastered along her face at the young woman's words, "Yes, whatever they're here for can't be good for us. We need them gone, the last thing we want at the moment is the Scorn trying to invade the City."

The young woman winced, "Yeah, that wouldn't be good."

Ikora hummed, "No, it wouldn't. Would you like me to contact Echo to meet you at the coordinates?" She asked.

The Young Wolf pursed her lips in thought for a moment. She didn't really need the backup, and she didn't see a reason to bother Echo when he was down in the City today with her other friends.

She could handle one mission alone.

"No, I think I've got this. It's only some Scorn after all, it's not like I'll be fighting a dragon alone." She said, shrugging her shoulders as she answered her friend.

Ikora raised a brow at the Titan, "I don't think Echo will appreciate that."

The Guardian merely chuckled softly under her breath, "I'll deal with Echo if he has a problem, he's all bark and no bite when it comes to his friends. He's actually a big softie on the inside, but...you didn't hear that from me." She said, having Ghost scan the datapad and it's info before she handed the device back to the warlock.

Ikora smiled, "Of course, let me know what you find when you return."

"Understood, see you later Ikora." She nodded her head towards the vanguard before she had Ghost activate her transmat and she landed in her ship.
