Don’t get me wrong. I am always a fan of action. But I really hope we get a cut scene where Jul 'Mdama and Thel 'Vadam just talk to each other. Hear their opinions over what has happened over the course of time get told to each other, and see Thel try to convince Jul that not all humans are bad once again. I’ve always been a fan of big dialogue scenes. And I think we need this one.

Jul says " I will be ruler of the great journey." Arbiter walks up to him stabs him and says “Were it so easy.”
I highly doubt so, first mission is Osiris going after Halsey and Jun, and there was a scene in a trailer way back of Locke dashing towards Jul with Halsey right behind him; in the same snowy setting as the introduction cutscene to the first mission.
I think it’s safe to assume Jul won’t get to survive the first mission.
