Darkness: Fallen from the light

So I was thinking about the factions of Darkness and where they came from, I thought it was strange that they fight amongst each other and that they showed up in the Solar System around the same time. If they just want to destroy Mankind and the Traveller, they don't need to fight against each other. So my thinkin is this: what if the Traveller visited the Cabal, Hive, Fallen and Vex as well and uplifted them the same way it did with humanity? But they wanted more then what the Traveller gave them. They wanted to corrupt the traveller to suit there needs. The Vex had/have a dark 'god' in the black garden that leeches light from the Traveller, it can also bring dead/inanimate things to life (remember those statues?). The Hive had a piece of the traveller on the Moon and were worshipping/corrupting it to gain power. There is also a grimoire card that tells of a gaurdian captured by the Hive and then being drained of its light by its captors. Furthermore the Fallen worship a machine god shaped like an orb that gives them power, like an miniature traveller. So, what if they all want to taken the Traveller and use corrupt it for their own goals? It would explain why they all fight against each other. There are also religious and mythological stories like this, the Garden of Eden, the Box of Pandora, the Cornucopia, the bag filled with the Winds in the Odyssee. Humanity was given a great gift, on one condition, humanity broke the condition and the gift was destroyed. Sorry for the long post, but what do you think about this?

  • It would certainly make sense why several different species of aliens are all compacted into our tiny little solar system at the same time. It would also give reason as to why none of the races have tried to destroy the Earth, or the Traveller. There's a Grimoire stating that the Cabal have altered the orbit of Mars' moon Phobos, and have it aligned perfectly to where they could actually send Phobos hurtling towards Earth and destroy us. Your theory would then prove the reasoning behind what is now sitting as a MAJOR plot hole imo. As well, I think what we know of the fallen also backs up your claims! We already know that they "were once a proud race", and it would make sense how such incredible power could possibly have corrupted them as a whole (This would also explain the several factions of Fallen and the in-house fighting they are plagued with: possibly differing ideas on the Traveller, their culture, etc.). Great theory, I do hope this is the way they're taking the story. The last civilization of mankind protecting this incredible power from corruption, surrounded at all sides? Sounds pretty epic to me.
