Completing this week's Blind Well weekly challenge gets you a new letter from Eris Morn... except it's not from Eris. And neither was the last one. It seems that what has actually been communicating with us is a Golden Age AI that traveled with the people who eventually became the Awoken. This AI tried to gain our trust by pretending to be Eris, but our Ghost saw through the AI's attempts to hide its usual header information until the AI finally gave up and introduced itself properly:

Now you know the truth. I am Medusa, survivor of the Golden Age, secret watcher over the Dreaming City. And I need your help.

Whether this leads to a gameplay impact or not, even if it's just an ongoing Grimoire-type story, it makes me smile so big to have an AI pulling text based shenanigans in a Bungie game once more. :)

(If you haven't done your offering to the oracle yet or won't have time for a while, you can find the full text here: Will you smile?

The question I have is: Why did it even try to disguise it's identity in the first place? Why would it think we wouldn't trust it?
