Curse of Osiris is looking good! (Destiny)

I'm not trying to treat it as a comparison or an opinion of details as fact. However, I will stand by the point that if, as a storyteller, you do not communicate to your listener, regardless of how universally accurate your non-communication is, you are not being a good storyteller. This is not to say anything toward the quality of hard or soft sci-fi against each other, that just happens to be context.

Words themselves are imprecise, though. So if that point did come across and you disagree with it or something else then we have a different discussion.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that the story would have been better if Bungie had said nothing. I know that I, for one, simply wish that they used any of the myriad of storytelling devices available to them that could have expressed the universal return of the Traveler's light without the fairly blatant disregard for even a semblance of realism.
