Tears and the Awoken

"Raise the Shields! Do not return fire! -We are not your enemy! We have come to find the Eliksni!" ~Kekal to an incoming Awoken patrol. (23 A.W.)

Conflict in the Reef
After departing from Europa, their first stop due to the weak Eliksni presence there left by the House of Wolves, Kekal and the House of Tears are engaged by a squad of thorn-like ships. When they attempt to explain their purpose the response they get is in a strange and unfamiliar language. That is until Raknoran the Pilot servitor works out a translation. They are the Awoken under the service of their Queen.
