“My son,” he said, “this is your punishment. Come home glorious, or die forgotten!” He picked up Crota by the legs and threw him into the Vex gate network.

what’s particularly great about that line, imo, is that oryx tells crota he’ll “die forgotten” if he fucks up, all hardass and shit. then crota actually dies (to six idiots no less) and oryx immediately finds out and just legs it to Sol as fast as he can to get his revenge, entirely ignoring his own ultimatum.
which is, like so many things hive, kinda sweet in a bad way
