I think they're a lot bigger than that!

- Vex "ruins" on Venus predated Humanity
- They transformed Mercury and were working on changing Venus when The Traveler stopped them at the end of the Golden Age.
- One captured Vex unit being researched on Venus used its incredible processing power to exactly simulate the scientist researching it.
- It is said that: "The Vex are architects of ancient and complex structures thought to be buried within every celestial body."
- They might be trying to: "to become a law of reality, inseparable from existence."
- They tend to the Black Garden and it's dark heart. "There are gardeners now. They came into the garden in vessels of bronze and they move through the groves in rivers of thought."
- They allied themselves to and worshiped The Darkness... a force or race or idea that we don't understand yet.
- But then they also made a weapon sized and shape for Humans?

We're missing some piece of the puzzle right now. One good question is: "Where did the Vex come from?" Perhaps a better one is "what are they trying to do?"

Our Ghost said they had taken over a ton of worlds. Why? They transformed Mercury but it is safe enough to hold Crucible matches on... so what are the Vex accomplishing? Are transformed planets being used as power supplies or gigantic processing nodes? Something else?

I really hope the story of the Vex gets to play all the way out.
