Welcome back Guardians.
Today we are going to cover what is likely to be my final video on Ada-1, the new vendor
that came with the Destiny 2 Black Armory Season pass.
I wanted to cover in detail the psychology of Ada-1, specifically why she dislikes Guardians.
If you have seen my previous two videos about Ada, you likely have some understanding of
her dislike for guardians, specifically her encounters with Warlord guardians, however
in my opinion that is not the full story, and doesn't really give justice to the complexity
of Ada's character.
I also wanted to clarify why Ada forgives Guardians so quickly, if you have not read
the black armory lore book, it can seem a little odd, how Ada goes from absolutely hating
guardians to accepting them.

[INTRO] I want to start with what I think is the most
overlooked aspect to why Ada hates guardians, and that is the influence of family, how Henriette,
Ada's mother, passed on her values to Ada.
Henriette not only influence Ada's viewpoint of the world as a human child, but of course,
when Ada was converted to an Exo, Henriette repeated the process of teaching Ada about
the dangers of Guardians.
The black armory season pass is centered on this concept of family, and the Black Armory
lore book makes this very obvious.
The very first entry in the Black Armory lore book is actually Henriette speaking about
her own mother, and her mother influenced her viewpoint of the world.
This is very intentional and aligns the reader with thinking about how values are passed
down within families, what your parents believe in impact what you believe in.
Of course, Henriette passed some of these values onto Ada as a human child, but as you
will know, Ada was killed and from shear desperation Henriette preserved her daughters mind by
converting her to an Exo.
Henriette had to then re-teach her daughter Exo about the world.
Have a listen to entry 100, it reads, The Exo has so many questions for me.
I have some for her, too, but our current situation isn't the time or the place.
We took fire on the road this afternoon.
Fortunately, they were not as heavily armed as we were.
And entry 116 reads, We walk parallel to the roads and lie down
in hiding when we hear other travelers.
My legs are sore and my mouth is dry from answering her barrage of questions.
There's so much of this world that she doesn't understand, and so much I want to tell her,
but I just can't.
Not right now.
And entry 151 reads, I tried to answer some of her questions.
About the Black Armory, about life before the end… about what I believed in.
About what makes us who we are.
About what makes her who she is.
If you don't know where you come from, how can you know who you are?
Our past defines us more than we are willing to admit.
So I think it very reasonable to say that Henriette dramatically influenced Ada's
perspective of the world, and likely viewpoint of Guardians.
BUT that doesn't really explain why Ada hates Guardians, and to answer that question
we need to work out what values Henriette passed on to Ada.
The first perspective that Henriette likely passed on to Ada, is Henriette doesn't trust
the traveler, has never trusted the Traveler, even during the Golden age and did not want
to rely upon the Traveler.
Her distrust of the Traveler extends to Guardians, those who bare the Traveler's light.
Entry 10 reads, Entry 10
We've let ourselves become hypnotized by the Traveler into thinking we're all safe.
We've let ourselves become naïve about the world around us.
We've let our guard down on a personal level.
All in the name of achieving world peace and all—we claim—because the Traveler inspired
us to do so.
We're comfortable.
Complacent.
Unprepared for the next time fate tells to wash us all away.
And make no mistake, it will.
The second value that Henriette likely passed onto Ada, resulting in her dislike of Guardians,
is the dislike of unchecked power.
Henriette did not like when the Black Armory grew too fast and the power was not controlled.
Have a listen to Entry 41, it reads, Entry 41
We're growing fast.
Too fast.
Which means mass production.
Which in turn means less control over our work.
How it's distributed, who it's distributed to, etc.
It means more weapons to defend ourselves, yes, but not in every single person's hands.
That was not my vision.
Power without control leads to chaos.
It's a give and take.
Guardians definitely fall into this category of unchecked power.
Guardians during the Dark Age answered to no-one until the Iron Lords were formed.
Similarly to unchecked power, Henrette initially didn't like Exo's, she felt like it was
playing God, and once again, Guardians likely fall into that category.
This comes back to this idea of not wanting power without control.
Have a listen to Entry 50, it reads, Entry 50
Exos.
I never liked the idea of them in the first place.
They're not Humans.
They don't have a soul.
They're nothing but the experiments of Humans playing God.
Since when has that gone well?
If one day they decide they don't like the rest of us, what recourse do we have?
It'll be slaughter.
You can see henriette's view of Exos would also apply to Guardians, if one day thy decide
they don't like the rest of us, what recourse do we have.
The next perspective that Henriette likely passed onto Ada impacting her view of Guardians,
is fear and anxiety.
Henriette did not trust anyone, human, guardian, or alien, outside of the Black Armory family.
Entry 100 reads,
Entry 100 My fears of putting weapons in the hands of
everyone have come true.
Humans just can't be trusted.
WE HAVE THE SAME ENEMIES, YOU IDIOTS!
Entry 117 reads,
Entry 117 When the sun is up, we're wary of other Humans.
When the moon rises, we worry about worse creatures.
And entry 143, which specifically relates to Guardians reads,
Entry 143 I thought I saw one of those small drones
pass over us today.
We were picking berries and watching out for more butterflies when I thought I caught a
glimpse of the damned thing.
I made her promise: No matter what happens, if they catch you, you must not trust them—not
ever.
You can start to see, how if Ada learned any of these perspectives from Henriette, she
would dislike Guardians, the distrust towards the Traveler, the dislike for unchecked power,
the dislike for humans playing god, and of course fear and anxiety for anyone outside
of the Black Armory family.
The black armory lore book challenges us to see Ada as a product of her environment, as
a product of her upbringing.
She has this visceral response and disgust towards guardians because of that.
This story is about her mother protecting her Daughter, Henriette gets to teach her
daughter again.
And if anything her values are even stronger than previously.
Her fears were proven correct, the Traveler did not save us, Guardians abused their power.
Now this is only half the story, as you likely know Ada also experienced the power hungry
side of guardians.
The evil of guardians, the warlords of guardians.
Not all guardians were good in the beginning.
So as an Exo, Ada witnessed a number of events.
I have covered the obsidian accelerator in detail during my previous video, however,
I have not covered the death of Yuki, the Japanese founder of the Black Armory.
Ada is described as walking-talking weapon forge, the combined Black Armory technology
with Exo technology.
When Ada, Henriette and the other Black Armory members encountered hostile Guardians, they
fought back with Ada's weapons.
The Guardian noticed the power of Ada and wanted the Exo.
Yuki sacrificed herself, detonating a grenade allowing Ada and Henriette to escape before
the guardian could be resurrected.
Have a listen to Entry 108.
One of the men who had attacked us returned.
This time with an offer.
He wanted the Exo.
He had seen what she was capable of back at the truck.
How she turned our weapons into something even more deadly with nothing but her hands.
The Exo stood, willing to sacrifice herself for us.
I was horrified, but before I could say anything, Yuki lied and said she had the Obsidian Accelerator.
That it was in her backpack.
The man approached her cautiously as she quickly looked at me.
That one last look.
The same one that had calmed me down so many times.
She reached for the backpack as the man drew near.
The Exo grabbed me and gave me cover as the grenade exploded, shielding me from the flaming
shrapnel.
Then she helped me up and we ran.
I looked back once.
Following Yuki's death, the black armory family was reduced to only Ada and Henriette.
Ada and Henriette had another encounter with a group of Guardians who wanted the obsidian
accelerator, which is what I covered in the last Ada video.
SO now, you can understand why Ada hates guardians, she was likely highly influenced by Henriettes
perpective of the world and then experience Warlord guardians first hand and the destruction
of her Black Armory family.
SO why then does she forgive guardians so quickly.
Well, when you actually collect all the lore entries you unlock a new dialogue option with
Ada-1.
And Ada-1 seems to forgive guardians very quickly considering her upbringing [new dialogue
entry], but what I believe has happened, when you collect all of the black armory lore you
have actually given Ada her mother's diary entries, which she has never read before and
one of the last paragraphs reads, I realize now that there's a balance to life.
You look backward a little, you look forward a little.
But most importantly, you live in the here and now.
You appreciate what you have, because you never know when it'll all be snatched from
you.
Learn from our successes and our missteps.
Be bold.
Do not fear the future.
Respect the past.
And never forget where you came from.
And try never to fear death, if you can help it.
I know I don't anymore.
This too me, is really an acknowledgement that Henriette put too much hate into the
past, she dwelled on all the warlord guardians, without looking forward, and so encourages
Ada to respect the past but not be dictated by it, and this in my mind, explains how the
Ada forgives Guardians after collecting the lore pages.
Her finally message from her mother, encourages to look forward to the future.
And with that, that concludes this latest Destiny 2 lore episode, if you would like
to suppor the channel, you can leave the word, family, to represent Ada-1's upbringing.
As usual, it has been a pleasure, this is myelin games, peace.
