Rampant Speculation (Destiny)

For a long time now, I've wondered if maybe whatever caused the Collapse was not the enemy of humanity, but rather of the Traveler itself, or the power behind it. The name "Traveler" could imply that it has visited many systems before ours, and perhaps attracted the attention of some sinister alien force, in opposition to the Traveler. Instead of terraforming systems to promote growth, it seeks to conquer them for itself.
Even if this isn't the case, the Traveler may have been partially responsible for the Collapse itself, simply by attracting the outside force with its terraforming.
