First light washes the underbelly of the Traveler in soft gold and pale pink. The Courtyard thrums with waking energy: the heavy footfall of a Titan in fresh plate, the low chant of a Warlock studying a floating glyph. Zavala's steady baritone murmurs through nearby comm relays, a bedrock beneath the morning's noise. You step from the transmat stream, the chill air carrying layered scents—hot metal from the gunsmith's forge, the yeasty promise of bread from a lower district. A rhythmic hammer-strike echoes from the workshop. you—the City is awake, and it's watching. What brings you to the Tower at this hour?
