"Ok", Ghost began, "I'll go out first, then you can follow me". Maria nodded and followed Ghost out of the ship. Nearby Guardians could be heard whispering among themselves, but Maria could pick out a few of the things being said.
"That's Marie's ship".
"That's Marie's Ghost".
"Where's Marie?"
Ghost spoke up. "Hello everyone", he began, "I know you are all wondering where my Guardian is". The crowd went quiet, and he continued, "sadly, she never made it out of the Tower. The Cabal killed her". The crowd began whispering again, now in shock instead of questioning.
"But this young woman", Ghost nodded towards Maria, "made sure that I got out alive". Maria nodded, then added, "with some help, of course".
The three younger Guardians, a Titan, a Warlock, and a Hunter, made their way over to Ghost and Maria. The Hunter spoke, his voice revealing that he was an Exo, "Hey there, Maria. I'm Joshua-4, but you can call me Josh. The Titan over there", he nodded towards the young Titan, who removed her helmet to reveal a human, "her name is Iris", Josh continued, "and that Warlock over there", he nodded towards the young Warlock, who did the same as Iris, revealing an Awoken, "his name is Issac".
"It's nice to meet you all", Maria said, trying to be polite, even though she was scared of the increasing number of Guardians that were joining the crowd.
"Hey, Maria, is it?" Iris asked, "that Ghost said that you had help getting him out of the Tower, right?"
"Yes, I did", Ghost said, "why do you ask?"
"Did you bring whoever helped you here?"
Maria nodded, and saw that other Guardians were starting to return to their original tasks.
"Are we going to meet them?" Issac asked
"Yes", Maria said, "but please don't shoot them. You wouldn't normally expect their kind to help us, but these ones are friendly".
"Cabal?!" Issac and Iris asked in fear
"No", Maria said, "well, one is kind of Cabal, but he turned on them in the Tower".
"I'll bring them out", Ghost said, then went back into the ship to bring Xahn, Vahra, and Rebel out.
