I don't think the traveler cares about humanity (/-/ Rampant Speculation /-/)

i mentioned awhile back that all the damage to the traveler was on the bottom, as if we were shooting up at it.

The grimoire mentions the damage was done on the trip to Earth. I doubt we shot it.

Which card says that? We know The Traveler was being chased and hunted. We know from Ghost Fragment: Traveler 3 that it was attacked and badly wounded when it stayed to defend us. We have lots of evidence that The Traveler was in our system when The Darkness attacked. But I don't see anything in the Grimoire that tells us The Traveler had suffered damage before coming into our system or while making its way around our system.

The only evidence I could find at all that The Traveler had suffered any damage before the Collapse is some hard to make out surface details in the video where the astronauts first encounter The Traveler on Mars.
