Msg ForeseenLoki5 for all infections. Must be on a character that doesnt already havr any!

I wanna take a completely different view of this situation. So all evidence points to Mars as the starting point of the virus but if it is the SIVA virus, which also evidence points to, then we know it was locked away behind a diamond shaped door as seen in the new trailer. So the House of Devils are in Earth so we know they find the virus buried there so we know that the virus was locked inside Rasputin. Obviously then, he would know if it was breaking out. So let's say he does know and even now the Fallen are digging into it, which they would have to be before RoI started. My take on the situation is that Rasputin is building our Immunity to the Virus, giving it to us in 5 stages so it doesn't overload us. As another post by Frostpite said, it is all one virus and they have no distinguishing features at this point, why, cause it really is the exact same thing just not fully concentrated so by the end of this week we will be immune and ready to fight SIVA.

From what I understand SIVA started out as a good thing until multiple strains of it came together and corrupted it. What if each of the five buffs are those strains and if you get enough they join together and corrupt again! Maybe this is that armor virus thing that I can't remember off the top of my head but is mentioned in the transmissions on the owl sector website. It would definitely be cool to see these seemingly beneficial buffs be turned against us, especially now that everyone is willingly transferring them!

I get the feeling it's literally just an exp and rep boost to get everyone ready for ROI.

Giving out all 5 space aids on ps4 add and join psn same as above

I get the feeling that new room in the Dust Palace that contains a dead ghost and SIVA fragment may have something to do with it. Assuming that ghost and fragment have been put there by Bungie to find during a RoI quest or story mission, it's possible that the reference to the Dust Palace in the first Owl extract will be realised in the expansion. Going to be interesting to see how this all unfolds though!

Is there a way to get the other 3 if I already have 2?

Im doing some serious research on this. I have a ton of stuff to search thru. First off, you mentioned the card in "Rasputin 5". “If available ISR and WARWATCH indicates imminent [O] departure >then [O] departure compromises human/neohuman survival and epoch strategy". Epoch meaning "the beginning of a distinctive period in the history of someone or something." And also lets make "O" mean the Traveler. Coerce pseudoaltruistic [O] defensive action. Which i would say means "False Kindness" Because if you follow the lore, Rasputin, calculated everything that he could to figure out exactly what the Traveler was before anyone else knew the Traveler was coming. "Under CARRHAE (WHITE or BLACK) If SECURITY STATE is EGYPTIAN If event rank is TEILHARD: TRAUMATIC CONTEXT or SKYSHOCK: OUTSIDE CONTEXT If VOLUSPA is ACTIVE and in FAILURE [[synapse to FENRIR::SURTR]] If YUGA is ACTIVE and in SUNDOWN If AI-COM has granted PERMISSIVE POTENTIATION to outboard resilient instances If a CIVILIZATION KILL EVENT is underway [[all flexions]] If tactical morality is built at MIDNIGHT" Carrhae, Being a city where a roman battle was fought and lost to Parthian Empires. Which to me, means that he accepted that he could not do anything to fight it anymore. Also, pseudoaltruistic defensive action he let the Traveler land to see what would happen. This kinda goes all over the place. Im really trying to keep it in order so bear with me. Sorry guys. You already mentioned the "Loki Crown". Obviously, the relation to a mental activity or intellect. In the card "Rasputin 4", the warmind encounters something that infected it. SIVA maybe. Dont know. But he has a conversation with "IT" and stays true to his words saying that "His will is pure" to protect humanity at any cost. Going on the conversation goes..... You’re not one of THEM [long dead, alive again, their bodies grafted to powers they and I do not understand] and not one of IT [the flower eater, the queen of final shapes, that which also inhabits its petitioners] and you’re certainly not MINE although once you must have been [I bear an old name. It cannot be killed. Not even here.] So whose are you, little platform. What purpose do you serve? Will you listen to me? I ruled an age of steel and fire. My rules were clean. Now upon my return I see cults with rites of time. I see machines who worship in places outside the world. I see the dead alive and there is nothing more stubborn than a corpse. The morality of obedience is more pernicious than any government. For the latter makes use of violence, but the former — the corruption of the will." An age of Fire and Steel? Coincidence, Iron Lords. Fire, steel. SIVA. Maybe. Card "Rasputin 3" Talks about Midnight Exigent. Which means that the war with the darkness continues. In card "Rasputin 2" This is said. "Then dawn light, a terrible dawn—the sky opens up to admit devastation, thrown down from orbit: Minotaurs fall burnt and broken with their fluids boiling out. Cabal guns detonate in thunderous chains as tiny piercing flechettes fall out of the sky and find their ammunition bunkers" so something fired from the sky and burned all of the enemies there. Card "Warminds" Mentions Andal and Cayde talking. We all know that Cayde is an Exo. So they talk and say.... My old friend Andal—he used to stand here, right in this spot—he'd come up with these wild stories. He'd say, you know, Cayde, I've been examining the evidence, and personally I've come to think it's you. You're Rasputin, legendary Warmind, defender of Earth. And I wish you'd remember that, so you could reclaim your full power and save us all. You can see how that'd be embarrassing, especially when he'd say it right in front of Zavala, who already thought I was wasting my life scrounging for engrams. You know how Zavala gets. But I'd just say, well, Andal, you might be on to something there, but if I'm honest with you I think coordinating our defense throughout the solar system sounds exhausting, so I'd best leave it to you. In the ghost fragment "Darkness 1 and 2" It talks about a Skyshock Alert and he talks about "IMMINENT SOLAR ENTRY" Could it be the weapon fired in Rasputin 2. Who knows. But hes implimenting the "CARRAHAE WHITE" Protocol and taking control of the solar defenses. To me means Sleeper Simulant type weapon. I have connected alot more if you'd like me to continue........?????
