Story Question - What now for the Hive? (Destiny)

All that said, might we see a new enemy? How relevant can the Hive and Fallen actually be in D2? All Cabal and Vex makes D2 a dull boy, no? Yes? No?

(Preface...I don't know much about the lore, these are mostly observations)

I'm curious about possible alliances. The Fallen are basically pirates and don't really have a "home". Variks hangs out on the reef and Mara Sov had Fallen servants. All those reef people are kind of strange anyway. Could there be a Fallen/Awoken alliance that in turn compliments VanGuardians?

There's just so much I don't know about that I'm really curious about.

The Cabal are just marauders that absorb worlds for resources. Are they interested in Earth's resources? The Traveller? Both? What's their main motivation for attacking Earth?

I know nothing of the Vex and their motivations.

It seems to behoove the Fallen and Humans to form an alliance against the Cabal and/or Vex in an effort to protect the Traveller. We've wiped out Kells and Priests and Archons blablabla, they are weak. Now we are getting blindsided and we are weak.

There is a very recent Grimoire card where the Queen's brother lets himself get captured by the Fallen House of Kings as part of his ongoing search for his sister. It looks like he may be taking it over. Of all the houses they are probably the most unscathed by the Guardians so that might lead somewhere... or to another Fallen uprising...
