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.

Midnight exigent is rasputans code word for the darkness event that wiped everything out. It's not over. That's why it is incomplete. That's why rasputan always says he will win. The fight isn't over, so neither can the event.

I am all about the tin foil hat, haha.

Lol those symbols are the symbol of Rasputin which is common knowledge . Lol fail

Your overthinking it bungie doesn't do that...

10 RepliesEdited by Lowlliet: 10/13/2015 6:42:17 PMTHERE IS NOTHING MORE. JUST STOP. Sleeper has 6 columns as any other exotic weapon. Those three illogical, simple and dumb missions are everything. It's done. Finished.

It's over.

Haha that's a lot of tinfoil you used there! Reynolds must be dancing in the street right now. Seriously though: "midnight exigent" is ongoing because we are still fighting the minions of darkness, and that one sentence quote you're using is old and says "MIGHT include." MIGHT, not will. The weapon is complete.

I'm out of tinfoil hats...

4 RepliesJust shut up already, the search is over, it's done, no other form will be released, there are other exotics to search for now

1 Replyyou are no more important for this post than you were before this post. the sleeper simulant quest is done. there is no more to it. we out thought the designers and they already admitted as such.
-
Nope. The gun is done. The exigent is in reference to us killing the darkness.
-
Midnight exigent it what Rasputin refers as the war between guardians and the drakness

1 ReplyEdited by Sportsfreak5022: 10/13/2015 7:26:47 PMWhen you turn in the Ikelos core, Banshee says that Rasputin is putting out a signal, which prompts you to do the Fallen SABER strike, but he also says that Cayde had found a strange signal coming from the Archives on Venus.

1 ReplyIdk if its like this for others, but i didn't get a grimore card for it.

1 ReplyI pressed X to doubt, Sleeper is already way OP, there's no way Bungie would allow it to be buffed even more
-
Theres an unopenable vent in the stairs leading to the final room in the getting Rasputin invisibility mission, you can see through it and there is a room

4 RepliesI ran out of tin foil hats...

Maybe collecting all of the quest reward exotics (QRE) Will unlock another quest for a hidden weapon. May need these weapons like puzzle pieces. I think that would be cool.

There is nothing more to the sleeper

13 RepliesEdited by StinkySphynxStir: 10/13/2015 5:54:33 PMAs soon as I saw the words "The First Firewall", I thought that it was either the beginnings of building a massive weapon or that future Firewall quests would give other exotics (that have yet to be discovered). I like mine but it does feel a little under powered for what I went through to get it. I have yet to start leveling it up though. I get the impression that once leveled up close to 300 or better... That's when it will start to shine. Edit: I guess I am the only person in the forums that had any issue at all getting the weapon. Don't bother trolling your bait. I just finished lunch and am no longer hungry. :)
