Imagine

Cayde-6 trying to convince you to sneak him onto your ship for your next mission because he’s dying to get out of the Tower and see some action…

Cayde leans in, whispering, “Hey, take me with you. I hate this job…”

#which would so be an easy yes for me #the hard part would be getting him away from Zavala and Ikora #but I would so take him up on that #we all would #let’s be honest #i miss him so much #cayde 6 #cayde 6 imagine #cayde 6 x reader #destiny #destiny 1 #destiny 2 #destiny bungie #destiny cayde #hunter vanguard #guardian #cayde x guardian!reader

something i’ve always thought about with the Vanguard is assignments. like, does Zavala really interact with every Guardian and assign them strikes and stuff like that or are there other Vanguard operatives of a lower rank (like below Zavala and Ikora) that help with giving Guardians assignments?

but i haven’t found anything stating otherwise aside from strikes given by other characters. but outside of a Young Wolf and gameplay perspective, i think that would make more sense?

because if it’s all Zavala wow his workload is crazy

Zavala definitely interacts with a lot of Guardians personally, but I'm not actually sure how do all these assignments work. I think it's something like the Vanguard makes lists, bounties, job postings, notes and stuff on what needs to be done and Guardians come and go to pick them all up.

This makes some sense with how much the workload of the Vanguard changed after Cayde's death. Cayde's job was also to set up these assignments, patrols and stuff like that, and on top of that, while he was Hunter Vanguard, it meant that other Hunters could rest easy knowing that the spot is occupied which meant that they were coming to the tower and picking up assignments. When he died, most of them immediately skeddadled which meant that the Vanguard assignments were now being monitored and set by only two people AND a third of Guardians were not even showing up to do them anymore.

So while Zavala (and Ikora) may not be giving out every bounty personally to every single Guardian, they definitely have to go through the paperwork, see what has to be done, make priorities, post assignments and hope that Guardians will show up to take them.

Note also that there's usually others helping as well. Like Devrim and Caiatl in Arms Dealer strike leading the mission (previously Cayde and Suraya), or Elsie for Glassway or Fynch for Lightblade, and others. In that case, the mission might be something that the Vanguard sets as something that has to be done, but the workload is shared with so Zavala or Ikora don't have to lead every strike. But obviously, it's still a lot of work for them to monitor all of these assignments and if they're being done.

I can't currently remember any specific lines that explain these details directly, so if someone does, feel free to drop them in reblogs/replies!

Calamity Protocol

“The Traveler…” There is both awe and dread in Shinon’s voice. “It’s doing something. Healing itself, I think.”

“It can do that?” Runi spins in the air like a whirligig toy. “And why now? Do you think the Darkness—”

He cuts off. The civilians murmur in fear.

For the first time, Ór is afraid of dying.

The Vanguard Swimsuit Fic Part 6: Interlude

"...And you want me to clear this?" "Yessir."

The Guardian had always maintained a certain level of respect for Commander Zavala in their frequent interactions, one which had never truly extended to any other member of the Vanguard, Dark or otherwise. Confronted, once, on this point, they had said: "If I had your job, I'd have run away a thousand times by now." Little comfort for the commander now, as he sat beleaguered and worn out at his desk, flipping through the Guardian's unexpected proposal, maintaining the strained silence for a little longer. Oh, how Zavala had missed silence, these past few weeks.

Unfortunately, he could also see the right of it - the Eliksni Quarter was still in need of expansion, proper water diversion, irrigation, and a laundry list of other issues that needed to be solved sooner rather than later; the Dreaming City still remained a mercantile non-entity, only sending aid when it was deemed 'stricly necessary' by the Queen, and attempting to start up interplanetary trade chains with NeoMuna as the city still lay under siege was proving almost too much to handle. And, to top it all off, the Last City's morale had taken a sharp nose dive to an all-time low, given the persistence of the Witness' portal, and the unfortunate rise of rumours about Eris' recent transformation. Now, in a coincidence he may once have attributed to the Will of the Traveller, here lay an answer to all his problems, alongside a neat way to redistribute the pooled wealth of the vast number of Guardians active in the field for whom the Eververse and Ada's synthweave had never quite been desirable enough. The only question now would be getting the participants' permission in an appropriate manner; the marketing would handle itself, given the extensive reach of the guardians' many inter-planetary communications networks. Some of them still pinged data off defunct WAR-SATs, leaving net-traces which Master Rahool had submitted for Vanguard review some years prior. The thought of the lost dignity in doing this flitted through Zavala's mind, but was stamped down with the hard reality of the situation. And so, his attention returned to the official document of proposal. It could have been phrased a little better, but at least the Young Wolf had managed to keep any egregious spelling mistakes out.

"Fine. I will have the Cryptarchy run this out into a proper document, and then we'll set a date."

"But- but they'll tell everyone! You know how bad they are at keeping other people's secrets!"

Zavala smiled. Slayer of Gods or no, this Guardian still had a lot to learn about actually leading people, and using one's resources efficiently. He got out of his chair, and walked to the window, the bright reflections of sunlight throughout the City shining in his eyes.

"That is the point."

"Oh. Okay."

The silence stretched on a little longer, different this time.

"Hey so would you mind b--"

"I have already appended my signature. I will be there, if I have time."

"Oh."

The Guardian's face cracked into a smile, clearly visible even through their watery reflection on the window glass, mirroring the Commander's own as he turned back to face them. The Guardian leapt up, swung on their cloak, and skipped right out the office. From the end of the hall, barely heard in the echo, came a bright

"THANK YOU!"

The Commander sat back down, and sifted through another sheaf of papers. One of these days, he would have to get a new laser printer. But for now, the sun shone on those written words, and the old Titan felt, for the first time in days, quite content.

Hello and welcome to part 6! Or, part 5.5? Part \\//? Who knows!

Hope you enjoyed this. It's taken me a reeeeeeaaaaally long time to get back into writing these, and I cannot guarantee that part 7 will even come out this year. But.

See y'all next time. Bring a good coat, and a hat.
