Darkness: Fallen from the light
So I was thinking about the factions of Darkness and where they came from, I thought it was strange that they fight amongst each other and that they showed up in the Solar System around the same time. If they just want to destroy Mankind and the Traveller, they don't need to fight against each other.
So my thinkin is this: what if the Traveller visited the Cabal, Hive, Fallen and Vex as well and uplifted them the same way it did with humanity? But they wanted more then what the Traveller gave them. They wanted to corrupt the traveller to suit there needs. The Vex had/have a dark 'god' in the black garden that leeches light from the Traveller, it can also bring dead/inanimate things to life (remember those statues?). The Hive had a piece of the traveller on the Moon and were worshipping/corrupting it to gain power. There is also a grimoire card that tells of a gaurdian captured by the Hive and then being drained of its light by its captors. Furthermore the Fallen worship a machine god shaped like an orb that gives them power, like an miniature traveller.
So, what if they all want to taken the Traveller and use corrupt it for their own goals? It would explain why they all fight against each other.
There are also religious and mythological stories like this, the Garden of Eden, the Box of Pandora, the Cornucopia, the bag filled with the Winds in the Odyssee. Humanity was given a great gift, on one condition, humanity broke the condition and the gift was destroyed.
Sorry for the long post, but what do you think about this?

I've finished going over that Ghost's report. It is my hypothesis - a hypothesis at best - that the Vex saw the abominable presence at the heart of the Garden as a divine power. I can hear your protest already: how can machines have a god? The answer is simple. The Vex, for all their voracious intelligence, could not understand or decipher what they found. They searched through all available reactions, and they settled on the course with the greatest payoff...to worship this power, and to remake themselves in its image. I believe the three Axis Minds found in proximity to the abomination were Vex machines built to serve as vessels for this power: a way to extend its reach across space and time, binding it to the Vex, and the Vex to it. If they had succeeded, I cannot begin to guess what horrors they would have unleashed. Attend carefully. There is cause for hope. When endangered, the abomination activated these vessels and defended itself. This tells us that it was threatened. Whatever it was, Guardians could harm it. And it activated only a single vessel at a time. Its strength was limited. Whatever it intended, it was not ready yet. We must assume the abomination was part of something greater. And we cannot flinch from the terrible, obvious comparison: just as the Traveler acts through us, this power was able to act through its own servants. Let us be wary. There may be other abominations, and other vessels. Ikora[/quote]
