My understanding of Ghost Fragment: Legends 2 and the Nine... Pt. 3

This will cover the last of the Grimoire's 9 descriptive entries of the Nine. These are going to be mostly speculative explanations due to their nature and the lack of supporting information about them. 7. This one is an interesting and also worrisome entry. First, I will start with my belief that the Nine work similarly to how our Consensus does, however, with some having more power than others. This entry is why I think that the Nine do not openly help us in our struggle against the Darkness. These members of the Nine are aspects of the Darkness, most likely these Jackal-like beings or their brethren who were trapped in the expulsion of the light of the Traveler and possibly Rasputin's efforts to stop them as well. At any rate, these aspects of the darkness were likely tainted and changed from their pure Dark motives. Still, not willing to help us and possibly secretly wishing to destroy us. This would be a possible vote in the Nine's decision making process that could keep them from openly supporting our efforts. Some seem to circumvent this and help us like Xur seems to be or his masters who sent him at least. This however is a good bit of conjecture and theory so until further information about the Nine is known I will leave it at that. 8. This is where things become less simple and very speculative. How can a language be an acting member of the Nine? Well I think that this language could very well be the central point of study for a group of the Nine. Kind of like the Speaker and Guardians alike study and listen to the "language" of the Traveler, Light. Both by learning how to use the Light as a weapon and the Speaker trying to gain enlightenment by listening to the Traveler. If this language is important to the Nine then of course they would have members who study it and try to understand the "pure meaning" it is said to offer. Now how it could be viral I am not certain but I would say that if something offered "pure meaning" through hearing and studying it a vast amount would be hooked on its powerful words and sounds after having experienced it. This would lead to many seeking it out and wishing to learn from it. In a near viral manner I am certain. 9. This one I believe is similar to the 7th description with one key thing differing between them and also why the Nine might have a split house of sorts when deciding to help us in our plight. What transcendent shape was annihilated leaving behind many followers behind during the Collapse? I theorize that it was indeed the Darkness in its primordial form. We all know that the Darkness was knocking at our door ready to annihilate us and then the Traveler and Rasputin saved us with their defensive actions. Why didn't they regroup and destroy us immediately? We were left in a severely weakened state. We had no help from our two savior a beyond the creation of ghosts. Surely we would've fell if an attack had been mounted. Why wasn't there one? Likely because the Darkness was shattered to its core with the sheer magnitude of our allies efforts. However, can something that is a fundamental being to our universe be truly destroyed? No, it is and always will be part of the universe and for that reason it makes sense that something like the darkness and those followers that were destroyed with it's shattering would be "burned into the weft of what is." Are they gone for good? Not likely. Just like our Traveler could heal and come back to us, so can the Darkness. Our fight with its true form and its forces is not even close to being over. However, these shadows it left behind are seemingly now a part of the Nine. They are likely very against helping us in any way and they are not alone. Whether or not they are in a position of power or are subordinate to Rasputin's Warminds due to their defeat, I cannot say, but the Nine are silent beyond the appearance of Xur. We may find out more in the future but for now we must hope they remain benevolent for they are without doubt very powerful. This concludes my analysis of Ghost Fragment: Legends 2 and the Nine for now. If you wish to look at Part 1 or Part 2 I will link them below. Thank you for reading, Guardians. My only hope is that you learned something of value to you in your fight against the Darkness. Please comment below if you have anything to question, add, or correct.
