I took the SPOILER tags off, as there is no "turn off" function in preview. I have tagged my post accordingly.


Yeah. Given that the Raid is the Deep Stone Crypt, I'm pretty wary about accidentally spoiling people.

It will be interesting to see if there are any Exo particular happenings inside the raid. I think it would be cool, but I'm doing my best not to hype up what may not be.

"The Bray Curse" he calls it. Basically insomnia with added side effects. Though it seems to me it's very likely that this "curse" is of his own making out of his genetic manipulation attempts in the search for perfection. In all things. Children and grandchildren alike.


It was neat how he built as close to perfect children / grandchildren as he could. Ultrasmart, ultrahealthy, but one tiny defect and all the stuff that went into keeping them healthy also made it almost impossible to cure the illness. Reminds me a bit of proposed efforts to remove Mai Hasegawa's Daodan Chrysalis in Oni.

"Their only flaw was that they were perfect." (I've never played Oni.:()

This was cool. Of all the things I hope to see in game... it's this. Full stop. This portion has alot of good information about the vex, including how the Vex potentially interpret the world and the particular quirks of "Vex Milk".


I need to think more about that tower. Also... how the heck did the Vex exist so early? Time traveling robots, indeed!

I think the root question of this would be more, "Whence did the Vex come from?"
Or... possibly, they are a third aspect of this Destiny universe, much as the Winnower/Deep is one and the Gardener/Sky is another. The Vex may be very much the Builders. Perhaps "The Nine" as well, but I've not read much lore on them yet.

More and more it seems to me that time travel may, possibly, maybe be less the mechanic for what we see, and more the "alternate quantum realty" take AKA comic book story mechanics. Infinite viewable, intractable alternate choices, without the messy logical mechanics of time travel.

Than again... I've not yet read the lore on Saint-14. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


My theory for a while is that the Exo Stranger is using Maya Sundaresh's Lhasa, Tibet device. "We built the device in mimicry of the Vex gateway systems from Ishtar. An observatory, yes, but I think of it as a mind-ship. Capable of displacing its payload across space and time." Maybe the Exo Stranger is never with us... that her mind is displaced to an Exo in the time she wishes to be in, but only for a while before she goes back to her own time? It'll be interesting to see if her time travel powers are cleared up any more.

Something like "any advanced civilization would know this inefficiencies of space travel. That it would be far more efficient to send the information, and build their ships on the other side."

"Who is she talking to?"
