Do you know, this is not knowledge I ever knew I needed, but now I'm going to shine my UV light on some turmeric next time I have some, and smile evilly like I know a secret.

I've no idea how Renegades is going to start, but I'm sure Ikora will be involved somehow. I hope so. I do love me some Ikora.

With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore. Sorry.

She sprang to her ship, to the Guardians gave a whistle
And away we all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard her exclaim as the Tower disappeared from sight–
“Meet me on New Mars, we’re in for a hell fight!”

Out of the hangar and out of The Tower
And into another great fight for great power
Where the fight would take place, I honestly did not know
But I knew that Ikora would show me where to go

She had a bald head and a warmth so infecting
How anyone could not like her is simply perplexing
With a nod of her head and quite a loud sigh
I knew then that we were going to fly

What the Guardian’s new adventure was sure to involve
Was the Warlock Vanguard in Ikora’s Resolve
With a fierce badass pilot so heroic and beautiful
That to call her otherwise would be completely refutable

When out in the hangar arose such a clatter,
Everyone sprang from their beds to see what was the matter
Peered out of the windows and exited cockpits;
Few opted to stay in the warmth of their ships

The moon on the breast of the mountains outside
Made every Guardian nearby stare at them starry-eyed

The Guardians were nestled, quite snug in their ships,
Unaware of the adventure to which they’d soon get to grips
While the Eliksni and their Smallen, all wrapped in their robes
Still crowded the vending machine that had swallowed their hopes

Twas the night before Renegades, when at this late hour
Only Zavala stood watch, taking care of The Tower
The canopies still hung in the cold winter breeze,
Flapping and furling with the greatest of ease

p.s. please do not mock me, I will actually cry

Just in case anyone's wondering: yes, I very much enjoy sleep. 😂 I love an afternoon nap, but I can't nap on days when I need to wake up early-ish the next morning, because then I won't get to sleep early enough.

Doing okay, thank you! How're you? Whatcha been up to?

Ah, one of those fast-moving gif/video things, gotcha! I will happily be deported to Scotland every time.

Whatever this is really just said "GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY!" 😂
