Yes, it is true. The Arabic terrorist group that has been on the new every day, has been confirmed in Destiny lore. It has even been rumored that the lead story writer is one of ISIS' leaders! Still not convinced? I admit to you, this Grimoire Card as Evidence A (read everything): [quote]Ghost Fragment: Old Russia SABER GREEN this is ICE MINARET. We have your launch. Com check. /ICE MINARET this is SABER GREEN we read you. Lattice is tight. Com secure. Abort advisory check? Check is all nominal. You are now on internal power. SABER GREEN, please human-verify your payload status. /Acknowledge human verification request. The words are RIGOR, APEX, SKYSHOCK. I will repeat the payload status now: RIGOR, APEX, SKYSHOCK. Those are the words, SABER. Human crosscheck complete. Fly safe. /Copy your last, MINARET. We are go for final count. We affirm, go payload, go flight, go final count. [interruption: masked voice] Yes, it's RIGOR. Yes, I believe that's correct. Yes, it is, uh, it is an antimatter payload, a strategic asset. Specifically? Ah, I believe it's an annihilation-pumped caedometric weapon. [masked voice] Yes, it's covert, it's under SECURE ISIS. We have good confidence in the vehicle. We are not scrubbing civilian launches or clearing the range. Public inferentials would catch that, it's a security risk. /Six at a hundred. Here we go. Godspeed, SABER. You're all nominal here. [masked voice] We both know where the order came from.[/quote] Did you notice that they mentioned they were securing 'ISIS'? Let me put it here so it's clear: [quote] [masked voice] Yes, it's covert, it's under SECURE ISIS. We have good confidence in the vehicle. We are not scrubbing civilian launches or clearing the range. Public inferentials would catch that, it's a security risk.[/quote] See that they are "Securing ISIS"? They mention that they "have good confidence in the vehicle". This means (in my understanding) that they have a vehicle that is under "Secure ISIS" (that is presumably the vehicle's mission, to secure ISIS), and that they have good confidence in the vehicle. It also mentions that they are not "scrubbing civilian launches or clearing the range." This may mean that ISIS was a cause for the downfall of Old Russia! This may have occurred a bit before the collapse, and ISIS is bargaining the light of the worlds with the darkness! So the people of Old Russia would not panic, Old Russia officials decided to not close civilian launches to other worlds or to quarantine the area to capture ISIS and pt everyone in fear, but to play the game wearily and deploy a secret vehicle to capture ISIS or send it into orbit to understand where their current location is (via satellite photo/video). But this isn't all. At the end of the Grimoire Card, it says this: [quote] [masked voice] We both know where the order came from.[/quote] The plot thickens. Not only is ISIS in Old Russia, it is also plaguing the officials! The man or woman with the masked voice is stating that "We both know where the order came from." in a suspicious manner, leading me to believe that these two officials are secret ISIS spies, who received an order from ISIS to send a weapon to low earth orbit to presumably annihilate Old Russia! Wait, did I just say a weapon? Yes I did. Look what it says in the Card earlier: [quote] [interruption: masked voice] Yes, it's RIGOR. Yes, I believe that's correct. Yes, it is, uh, it is an antimatter payload, a strategic asset. Specifically? Ah, I believe it's an annihilation-pumped caedometric weapon. [/quote] Yes, you heard right. ISIS has an "annihilation-pumped caedometric weapon" which could presumably destroy Old Russia! Another thing to not is that this comes right before the vehicle part. So presumably, they are making Old Russia officials believe that they are making a vehicle to locate/capture ISIS, when in reality, they are reverting the vehicle to be a transporter for the weapon! I also mentioned earlier, "in low earth orbit". Why? Well, when it says "an antimatter payload" (see quote above), I instantly though, low earth orbit. Why again? Because in thunderstorms, some atoms release gamma rays, which have a likelihood of colliding with another atom, making said atom release (breaks apart) several of its particles, including anti-matter (e.g. positron, antiproton). What does this have to do with anything? Well, if one of these particles hits its other self (e.g. proton collides with antiproton, or electron collides with positron), both particles are annihilated, releasing huge energy and lesser forms of matter. Why not put this vehicle/weapon on land, you may ask? Well, at the present, we can re-create the effects of antimatter in a thunderstorm in particle accelerators, but they are so huge, that everybody in old russia would notice that huge weapon looking thing is right in their faces being constructed by people with ISIS shirts on. So, for it to be less obvious, why not low-earth orbit? Still not convinced? Remember those bridges in the first level, A Guardian Rises? HUGE chunks of the bridge were missing, leading me to believe that the weapon was used in that area. Remember that quote earlier? "We are not scrubbing civilian launches or clearing the range"? Well, they obviously did neither. They annihilated the launches. Remember that big plane wing that's fun to ramp over and has a cave pretty close to it in the Cosmodrome? ISIS probably annihilated the attachments to the wings so the plane would wreck. If you're still not convinced, you really are a pain in the behind i'm sitting on right now. I can hear your thoughts: "Well that still doesn't explain why a lot of people died in places not even remotely close to the places where the weapon was used." Well, I already did. Remember when I said: "Well, if one of these particles hits its other self (e.g. proton collides with antiproton, or electron collides with positron), both particles are annihilated, releasing huge energy and lesser forms of matter. " I mentioned that it releases huge energy, so it could potentially annihilate everyone above ground in Old Russia with one single blast of the weapon. Not to mention that this weapon wasn't [i]just[/i] used in Old Russia. It is very possible it was used in several human locations. So, don't be afraid if you see a looming weapon above you in the sky ready to kill you, move underground! As I said, there is less chance that this will kill you if you are underground. Thanks for reading. Edit 1: Some of you have been telling me that Isis was the name of an Egyptian goddess, given to the Sister War mind of Rasputin , and that Archer is speaking. However, it is possible that the Russian officials that were working for ISIS gave that name to the Warmind (considering that it is possible that the Russian Officials made all the Warminds). It is also possible that Archer worked for ISIS in secret. Edit 2: Also, it is possible that the Warlock Osiris worked for ISIS before the Collapse, and then, seeing how terrible it was, converted to light, and changed his name to Osiris as to not raise suspicion. Edit 3: Yet again, you plague me with that Destiny was inspired by Egyptian mythology. Maybe it was, but I believe there is more to the story. Remember the Pyramid like ships concept art? I did say that ISIS was working with the Darkness, and it is possible that ISIS had been inspired itself by Egyptian mythology, and had made their vehicle to appear in the shape of a pyramid, and it was useful to the Darkness.
