The Anomaly: Just a Map?

So, while idly reading through the Grimoire, I rediscovered the card for the Crucible map "The Anomaly" and realized that for a map literally made around some mysterious object, I have heard very little about or in reference to it. As I start to read back through the Grimoire to find possible references, have any of you other lore fans looked into this "Anomaly"? Is it simply a cool mysterious spacey sci-fi thing for a multiplayer map, or does it (like many things in Destiny) have some importance to anything from Destiny history, perhaps even future story? Perhaps there's something clues in the map itself (but we may not find them until we get Private Matches in RoI). I'll try to keep a list of known facts & references below. [b][u]Known[/u][/b] -On-site documents found only referred to the research station where the Anomaly is kept as "K1". -The Anomaly gives off "intense electromagnetic fluctuations". -Scanning the Anomaly has been unsuccessful, as "the casing is constructed in a manner that defies modern techniques". -Those who have spent time near the Anomaly started having insomnia, sometimes severe enough to be hospitalized. [b][u]Other Grimoire References[/u][/b] (None as of yet.)

  • Could be a reference to A-113? If that's not an Awoken EMP or some ancient Fallen device, after all, Ghost Fragment: Dead Orbit is before the Queen opened the Reef. Maybe even before Twilight Gap, but unlikely.

  • Thank You for opening this post. It has been bothering me since I read the grimore card ages ago. I've speculated different theories as to what humans would want to build on the moon with such strange properties. Guardians are obviously unaffected by the anomaly and the name suggests it does something that wasn't predicted when it was made. The two main ideas on what it could be that I have are: -It could be a dormant quantum-computer warmind that was built as a test to see what the absolute best computer could do and I reckon it could predict the future in relation to direct events. -Or it could be a container to hold some sort of force or power that golden age humans were trying to figure out or take control of. Something like a shard of light but not from the traveller. If I think of anything else I will add it here.

  • At this point it's a complete unknown which is redjacks set up a map their. Too at least keep the area defended why they wait and see if anything happens. And to make sure guardians are not affected

  • There could be lore related link but I'm not sure what. By the way, there are dead Cabal on Cauldron which has much more detailed lore.
