Sol Progeny (Destiny)

The answer is simple. The Vex, for all their voracious intelligence, could not understand or decipher what they found. They searched through all available reactions, and they settled on the course with the greatest payoff...to worship this power, and to remake themselves in its image.

It is getting so obvious. :P

I believe the three Axis Minds found in proximity to the abomination were Vex machines built to serve as vessels for this power: a way to extend its reach across space and time, binding it to the Vex, and the Vex to it. If they had succeeded, I cannot begin to guess what horrors they would have unleashed.

Sounds an awful lot like the Guardians and their manipulation of the Light as a weapon. The Heart sits as a centerpiece for these three Vex, just as the Traveler looms high before the Tower.

Wait, Sol Progeny? Vex aren't from Sol, are they? Also, why would machines have progeny? They're created from artificial matter. But then again, we could say the same of resurrected Guardians. Three Axis Minds is a strange coincidence. It's not like some of us didn't roll up into the Black Garden in teams of three.

Who knows? Maybe humanity is the Vex!

Attend carefully. There is cause for hope. When endangered, the abomination activated these vessels and defended itself. This tells us that it was threatened. Whatever it was, Guardians could harm it.

Okay, the Heart is either the Traveler or its sibling. This is just getting... well, I dunno.

And it activated only a single vessel at a time. Its strength was limited. Whatever it intended, it was not ready yet.

Ugh. Just stop it, Ikora.

We must assume the abomination was part of something greater. And we cannot flinch from the terrible, obvious comparison: just as the Traveler acts through us, this power was able to act through its own servants.

Wait, what?

Let us be wary. There may be other abominations, and other vessels.

I see what you did there, Bungie.
