Questions. (Destiny)

Well... with time travel who can be sure how long it really has been anywhere? More to the point, the Ishtar Collective scientists who were freed from the Vex simulation speculate about the Vex Citadel, one suggesting it had been a part of Venus for a long time but only rose to the surface via geological instability while another thinks that The Traveler did something "paracausal" to Venus and the Citadel's existence don't make any logical sense.

My sense of it is that the Vex stuff has been on Venus a long long time but the Vex's expansion into our solar system was stopped by The Traveler after they took over Mercury (our Ghost says that much at the beginning of one mission) and perhaps driven to dormancy until now where they and their structures are once again awaking. Hence Waking Ruins as a location name.

It's actually implied as well that the Citadel was taken from either parallel versions of Venus, or from another time and put into our time. They are never clear on which (probably because they don't know).
