I was collecting the new ghosts this morning and found a new card Old Russia 4
[spoiler]I can feel the mites buzzing, pushing against my sub-mind. They try to steal fragments of memory, but I do not let them.
They have no will, but they want to BE.
I exert electronic will: pushing, shaping. Forcing stasis on perpetual motion. They are quiet then, but I can still sense them.
Where once my cargo holds were full of tools, and weapons, and material, now they hold barely-contained possibility. New worlds will be built from these tiny mites. Weapons and cities and ships created by thought and science.
I fear my will is not strong enough to shape these worlds. Only the Tyrant can do that, but he will not be a part of my journey. Even his reach has limits, and we will be nine billion miles away.
I whisper my concerns to the Tyrant in tiny magnetic bursts. He does not listen.
The Tyrant says take the SIVA, and so I take the SIVA.
The Tyrant says go to the stars, and so I go to the stars. [/spoiler]
This has huge implications for what is at the edge of the solar system. A Warmind constructing colony ships on Pluto or Neptune with SIVA could be a huge asset to our survival, or SIVA has gotten out of control and is the next big threat.
Here are some potential scenarios that could play out:
1) Remote warmind and SIVA colony effort allows civilians of the City to escape the solar system. Maybe even take Dead Orbit with them.
2) SIVA fleet could be new first line of defense against Cabal reinforcements
3) SIVA is out of control and infects the solar system from the outside-in
4) SIVA has outpowered the assigned warmind and gained a consciousness that would rival Rasputin
5) The Nine could finally make contact with Guardians to deal with the SIVA threat that is on their border (Jupiter)
This is just the tip of the iceberg for potential plot lines.

The number 9 billion miles stuck out to me when I first read that card. 9 billion miles is past Pluto, exiting our solar system. They were sending SIVA a lot further away than our planets. I wouldn't be surprised if destiny 2 isn't even in our system
