Taken but not Forgotten

Infiltration

When Roach awoke Cayde and Agony were going through his weapons.

"A sniper rifle is what he needs." Cayde argued

"The Dreadnaught is a building, he needs a side arm or a fusion rifle." Agony protested

"Guys what the fuck?" Roach demanded as he covered himself with his blanket. Agony and Cayde both looked at him.

"Morning sunshine, you've got a special mission today." Cayde informed Roach

"What mission?" Roach asked suspiciously.

"You're going into the Dreadnaught with the help of my stealth drives."

"No. no, no, no, no,no! That is suicide! I am not okay with this. Send Agony!"

"If you send me Zavala and Ikora will get suspicious." Agony said as she checked the time

"Look i'll give you five glimmer. Now hurry up!" Cayde ordered as him and Agony walked out of the room.

"The things i'll do for five glimmer." Roach groaned as he got out of bed and prepared himself for his mission. Roach was less than thrilled when he found out that he would be flying Eris' ship, but he was pleasantly surprised by a note he found inside.

Hey, I know this seems impossible but this is your time to shine. Prove everyone wrong, and if you come back alive you can brag about it. Play it smart and play it safe. I'm going to need my idiot to come back so I can look good.

From your stuck up bitch of a friend, Agony.

Agony stood in the shadows of the tower hangar as Roach flew away. The anxiety in her flared as she realized that the tower idiot was sent on one of the most vital missions in the Vanguards history, and she wouldn't be there to protect him or save his sorry ass if he was in trouble. However, Agony knew she would be helping Roach back here at the Tower. Zavala and Ikora were unaware of Cayde's plan, and it was here job to keep them away from the hall of guardians until the transmat zone was ready. As Roach approached the Dreadnaught he saw the devastation one blast had caused. Awoken corpses floated in space, the ships were torn apart. Roach realized why Agony truly didn't want to go on this mission. To see the corpses of your fallen brothers and sisters just floating around in the cold depths of space would break anyone's heart. Roach wondered if the Queen's corpse could be found among the wreckage and the rings of Saturn.

"Turning on the cloaking devices. Cayde you sure this'll work?" Scotty asked bringing Roach back to the task at hand.

"Yeah, programmed them myself."

"What's Agony doing?" Roach asked as the ship turned invisible.

"She's distracting Zavala and Ikora for us. She's a smart girl she'll do fine."

"Cayde, i'm getting some fluctuations here..." Scotty said in a worried tone.

"Must be radiation from Saturn." Cayde responded. Suddenly warning lights were going off as the cloaking devices failed.

"Did you just break my cloaking devices?" Cayde demanded

"Cayde that's not what's important right now! Do you think they can see us?" Scotty asked in fear. As if to answer his question the weapon on the side of the Dreadnaught began to charge. Roach started to fly as fast as the ship would allow him to. The beam fired and there was a loud explosion.

"ROACH?" Cayde screamed in a panic, in response Roach started to laugh hysterically. "Oh thank God you're alive." Cayde said placing his head down onto the table.

"Yeah... why wouldn't we be." Scotty said sarcastically.

"I would like to say that the city is behind you, but we can't send any reinforcements. Roach you're on your own until you shut down that weapon and set up a transmat zone."
