How Destiny's Original Story could still be implemented

So we all know the story about the game with no story. We know that a lot of content was changed, removed, or cut for DLC. We also know that no one has any idea as to what the story of Destiny actually is, yet we know of as story involving a character called Crow, leading an underground resistance of Ghostless Guardians, seeking the truth about the Traveller, and how he apparently is the bringer of the Darkess. A lot of people say that with the new approach to Destiny's story, a lot of this couldn't be put back in, but I think that there is a way that it could be brought back. Take this into consideration. The character we know as the 'Exo Stranger' is a complete mystery to everyone. Don't lie, you have no idea who she is either. What we do know, however, is that she is either an ex-guardian who decided to not become a guardian any more, or a character 'not forged in light' (Which could mean that she's born from the darkness, but seeing as how she wanted to clean the black garden, that's probably unlikely). When we first meet her in person, we can see her tilting her head to the side, having a conversation with someone we have no idea about (leading us to believe that she is part of some sort of group, in hiding. [i][b]*Hint Hint*[/b][/i]) talking about being with us (the Guardian), then goes on to saying that she's not talking to the 'Little Light', i.e. the Ghost. Her little light comment could be either condescending to the Ghost (because she decided not to be with hers any more) or she has no idea what a Ghost actually is. Connecting the dots a little bit, and looking at the original story, we see that Crow's underground resistance kidnap you, and you help them uncover the truth. His resistance are ghostless guardians, who fight to reveal the truth about the Traveller. Now, we can see that out of the Guardians of the last safe city on Earth, there are three Races, two of which are already in the story arc so far, with backstory. The three of which are the Humans, the Awoken, and the Exo. Now looking back at the Exo Stranger, we can clearly see she is apart of some sort of underground group, with most if not all of the other characters not knowing who she is. She is also a Ghostless Exo. And she is also talking to a character who we don't know. Piecing these together, we can assume that the Stranger is apart of the Underground group that Crow is apart of, leading us to believe that that story arc is still possible. There's more to this, however. In the trailers before Destiny was released, we saw a cutscene of a mysterious Awoken aiming a Hand Cannon at the player, and stating that "Out here in the wild, this [i]is[/i] how we talk". That character went on to becoming the Queen's Brother, and was removed from his original role. We can assume that that Awoken character was initially meant to be Crow, the leader of the resistance. But, could the Queen's Brother and Crow be the same character still? From this image ([url]http://www.nowgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/destiny6.jpg[/url]) we can see that Crow and the Queen were in cahoots together, helping crow, trying to gain favour of the Queen. Seeing as the fact that we no little to no backstory with either the Queen or her Brother, and that originally Crow and the Queen were allies. The Queen's Brother would already be allied with the Queen, because they're siblings, duh. Because we know nothing of either two, there is a possibility that The Queen's Brother is leading a resistance against the darkness (Even though the way the Queen's Brother acts to us, it could be unlikely). Coincidentally, after the first encounter with the Queen and her Brother, both the Eye of the Gatelord mission, as well as the Archive mission unlock for you to do. It could be coincidence, but maybe the Archive unlocking is hinting at the fact that you gained favour of the Queen by Looting the Archive? Now, looking back at that image , we can see that the description reads "Help the Crow" rather than "Help Crow". It could mean one of two things. Either Crow is the character's code name, of which being The Crow, or the resistance is named The Crow. In my personal opinion, I think it'd be the first of the two, all considering. Seeing as we are still yet to meet the character that the Exo Stranger is talking about, and as well as the fact that the Speaker is the more Cryptic than the Cryptarch, he could be trying to hide something from us, and making us go on our merry ways, making us fight what we think is the darkness, but is in fact not. This is all speculation and thoughts as to how it could all play out. It may happen, it may not. Let me know what you guys think!
