Alicia and Iron glance at each other as Cloud asked questions that she herself wondered about, and then the opportunity to attempt to explain things from their perspective presented itself when Frisk asked why they couldn't just knock out their opponents. After a moment of communication between the pair, Iron projects an image of a Hive [url=https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/destinypedia/images/8/8c/Hive_Thrall.png/revision/latest?cb=20140609013118]Thrall[/url], the creature running around before kneeling at an unseen pile of bones to gnaw on them. After a moment, something seems to disturb it and the creature rushes off, joining a swarm of it's brethren before they converge on some unfortunate Guardian, who falls to their swarm tactics and who's Ghost is carried into the dark pit that was the moon. [color=Gray]"This creature is called a Thrall, the most commonly fielded Hive monster we see in our battles back home. Tell me Frisk, does this creature look like it can be reasoned with? Knocked out?"[/color]

Next, as the image faded, a new one appeared, this one a Fallen [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/destinypedia/images/5/56/Vandal.png/revision/latest?cb=20130510122632]Vandal[/url] who was in the process of pulling a Ghost apart as it's Guardian was trapped nearby, helpless to save their companion, just before another Guardian arrives and shoves the Vandal away, clearly shouting something at it. The Guardian frees the Ghost, damaged though it was, before the  Vandal fires a shot from it's Shock Rifle. A battle erupts as a result. [color=Magenta]"The Fallen are relentless scavengers who we've tried many times to reason with, but they have no desire. They would much sooner tear the Last City apart and kill any human inside it than have peace."[/color]

The image changed again as this time a Vex Hezen Collective [url=https://s1.megabrandsmedia.com/figurines/r/800x420/372aede3273e528f0dcf950ce95447e2-1492533465-19343.png]Goblin[/url] appears, marching alongside several other Goblins with Minotaurs and Hobgoblins following behind as they raze an attempt to begin recolonization on Venus by Dead Orbit followers, taking out the guards and killing the colonists before anyone can truly flee. [color=Gray]"The Vex are an interesting foe, having traveled through time and space to convert planets into machines. This poses a problem for those who aren't machines who fight back, as if you are an obstacle, you are removed. There are no alternatives for the Vex Collective."[/color]

There was another switch, this time showing a Cabal [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/destinypedia/images/4/48/Cabal_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20140609170438]Centurion[/url], unloading round after round onto a pinned Guardian before another draws his attention. In the background can be seen many different Cabal forces, ranging from Centurions to Psions, all waging war against someone, be it Guardian, House of Wolves Fallen, or Vex. [color=Magenta]"The Cabal are relentless conquerors who will only stop when they only survivors within the solar system are themselves, which means there is no one they will spare."[/color]

The images vanish and Iron scans Cloud to link up with any communications device he might have while Alicia continues speaking. [color=Magenta]"We Guardians are soldiers who fight a war against the Servants of Darkness, entire races who's only desire is the death of all humanity and the destruction of both the Last City. When James and I came here to help with the Mugen Virus, we knew that we were leaving one battlefield and walking onto another. Knocking an opponent out isn't what I do. These Elite Generals won't hesitate to take our lives, and I will not allow that so long as I still draw breath. I won't ask you to fight as I do, but I will ask that you let me do what I am here to do and trust that it's the right decision. I will not deliver a killing blow before you confirm Mario's soul isn't absorbed, but once we can confirm it, I will not hold back."[/color]
