I, and many other members of the community, have reason to believe that the Sleeper Simulant isn't done being upgraded to it's max potential. Here's why...
[spoiler]Tin foil hats, everyone.[/spoiler]
In the mission, [b][i]The Promethean Code[/i][/b], there is a point about mid-way through where you can scan a terminal. There's two other terminals in the room as well. Upon scanning, ghost mentions something about a retina scan. There is also a way to access a similar set of terminals in the S.A.B.R strike.(right before the arc wave puzzle). Now hang tight, it gets kinda looney here.
[spoiler][b][i]Please apply a [u]Second[/u] tinfoil hat.[/i][/b][/spoiler]
The reticle for the Sleeper matches the icon on the terminal that requires retina scan. (It's a diamond shape, which fits a trend in Rasputin's Bunker)
[spoiler][b][i]Please equip a [u]3rd[/u] tinfoil hat at this time. Just for good measure.[/i][/b][/spoiler]
Now, a fireteam of three must go into the S.A.B.R strike during nightfall, or possibly into the Promethean Code during daily.
Once in the mission/strike, players need to proceed through the mission and into the room with the three terminals. In perfect synchronisation, the players need to line the Sleeper Simulant's reticle up with the icon on the terminals. I'm speculating that doing so will open up either a door or the ground underneath the guardians and it will bring them to a room where the rest of the Sleeper lies. From then, I feel it will possibly be similar to the Black Spindle where you'd need to kill a boss in an allotted time period in order to acquire the specific gear.
Upon further spending too much time on the Internet, I found this:
[i]From Bungie in an issue of "Game informer" [/i]
[b][i][u]...Bungie doesn’t want to spoil the story content of this mission, but it did say that there will be unique tasks and objectives required for completion, which might even include puzzles that are too hard for any one player to figure out on their own.[/u][/i][/b]
This can only further validate the possibility of the retina scan theory, but this is all just a theory. All speculation that I'm willing to test with a fireteam in today's nightfall. (I'm on Xbox 360) well, now I'll leave it to you guys. What do you think? The truth is out there, guardians.
Edit: SOMETHING I TOTALLY FORGOT TO METION. The flavour text for the gun gives a pretty big clue. Thanks to a user named "Warlock" for pointing that out.
[i]"Subroutine IKELOS: Status=complete.
MIDNIGHT EXIGENT:Status=still in progress."[/i]
Edit 2: Loving the replies! This is just a theory, I never once stated that this is legit. I did this for fun, and that's all it is aside from it being just speculation. Relax.
Edit 3:We're trending. Am I important yet?
Edit 4: Definitely the most replies I've gotten on a post lol.
Edit 5: thanks for the disturbing amount of replies. I should have known better than to try and be creative on these forums. People are always too quick to shoot stuff down.
For the people who gave positive feedback, I thank you. For the trolls and others who said literally the same thing over and over again, thanks for helping us trend... I guess.

On Xbox 360 as well. Mind if I add you? My gamer tags same as it is here.

Midnight Exigent still in progress refers to us still fighting the darkness. You say you did a lot of research on this, well so did the people at planet destiny. Do yourself a favor and watch their review of that situational not worth the hype gun.

8 RepliesHow do i get it? Im 100% sure ive handed in 4 fusion rifles, and i didnt get the quest? Do i have to be a certain gun smith rank or something?

Joined a nightfall before the final fight and was dead. The fireteam asked me where my orb was and I said my orb was on the other side of the door next to the other entrence leading back to the omingal room. Fireteam then jumps down to fight shank and I res, I was able to run almost to the doors till I got teleported to the final fight.

Just admit that the Sleeper is useless and move on.

5 RepliesRetards make up shit to find the weapon. It was time locked. Weapon sucks. Retards make up more shit to satisfy their delusions. Incredible.

1 ReplyIt is over, look at the planet destiny video. He confirms why it's %100 done

7 RepliesDuring the nightfall instead of using a grenade at the vent I used the sleeper. Ghosts dialogue changed. "Well that worked....maybe to well" After that the normal death threat wasn't there. Maybe it's just a dialogue I have missed.

I think your right! Another core might be available for the hard raid

It's over. Let it rest.

Another clue: I randomly picked up another fusion rifle item that had to be turned into the gunsmith. I have completed the sleeper, interesting I'm starting to find those items again.

Someone obviously doesn't read up in their grimoire.

8 RepliesEdited by Allen con chile: 10/14/2015 9:04:10 AMI did not read half of the post but I assume it's another one of those "theories". Do you remember when people spent hours trying to figure out the sleeper simulant only to discover that bungie held out on the quest? Or the weekend all the nerds spent trying to figure out what the "secret" room in Kings fall is only to find out that it's nothing but a play room? What you do with your time is up to you but I have to ask, why do people spend so much time trying to figure out a mystery totally blind? You guys come up with elaborate theories that must have taken hours to construct. We already waste so many hours on this game, why waste more on these "theory" huntings? Also would like to add that almost every theory post is just misinformation that misleads everyone else.

Did you try it?

"Midnight Exigent" is the code name for the Darkness attacking. Sleeper Simulant is done being upgraded.

I agree with OP to degree. Don't think the sleeper will evolve any further but I think there's still quest(s) to come involving it.
