You find yourself crusading through the merciless jungles of Venus arriving at a defective Vex warp gate perched on a cliff side. Its flawless shape frames the mountains in the distance as the sun slowly falls behind the tropic venusian canopy. You approach slowly, inquiring as to the nature of this lone warp gate isolated from the orderly ranks of the Vex. You summon your ghost to scan the area and find it collapsing to the ground, devoid of energy. Suddenly, you fall to your knees as you hear the warp gate burst to life, in your final moments of consciousness you glimpse the alien world beyond the warp gate, knowing the Vex are the key to expanding beyond space, you witness the birth of The Traveler.
