Destiny 1 Grimoire card
Fabian Strategy
Wait for enemy to make a mistake. Die. Stand by for Ghost Resurrection. Repeat as necessary.
Fabian Strategy is a Grimoire card from the original Destiny (Destiny 1), found under Inventory → Primary Weapons. Grimoire cards held most of the game's lore and were read on Bungie.net and in the companion app, not in the game itself.

“The problem with a historical engram is, even if I can figure out when the engram was encoded, that still doesn't tell me when the contents were written. Or even when the events described by the writer take place.”

“The whatnow strategy?”
“Fabian Strategy. It apparently involves attrition tactics and avoiding direct conflict until an enemy makes a mistake.”
“...Huh.”
“'Huh' indeed!”
“...But with Ghost res—“
“Oh, this was long before Ghosts. I think... Banshee? Where are you going?”
