Bungie, we really shouldn't have to go so far outside the game to understand the Story of Destiny. Thankfully, Matt Miller put it all together for us: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=1 Note: I have not read the entire article yet. Just thought I'd post it so folks could enjoy it. From the intro of it, sounds like Miller worked hard to confirm as much of the story as possible with actual Bungie employees. Edit: And if you haven't seen this animated video on Dregden Yor and the birth of Thorn, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgyvLONRNaI Edit: And here's a link to an active discussion about the GI piece that's going on over in #Lore: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/211682495?sort=0&page=0
