I think Look Up At The Sky is a reminder of what The Hive did to us on The Moon. They slaughtered us and left our bodies thrown about (they can still be seen lying around the moon decaying), they brutally kicked us out of our own colony, and then turned it into a breeding ground and a place where The Wizards do their dark, twisted rituals and experiments. A place where guardians and their ghosts are taken to suck out their light, and dissect them. The Hive are The Darkness personified. Bungie described them as "Dark Royalty." And only through ruthlessness can we survive their second wave -- as they are up there in the Sky, on our moon, preparing for the resurrection of their God-King to lead their next invasion, on Earth (The DARK Below).

But we GAVE them the moon... Left to interpretation of the whole situation in my opinion

Edited by ELRaSun: 11/8/2014 1:42:01 AMLol well they had a guy running around with a sword that was sucking thousands of our soldiers souls out of their bodies. My guess is we retreated and abandoned the colony ("gave" it to them, which is why we've been preparing for so long to take it back) because we figured they'd stop there. So yes, "We gave them the moon, Hoping it would be enough" But interpretation also has to consider: "Crota and his legions BANISHED humanity from the Moon. Now they are rising again to claim Earth." So we "gave" it to them in the sense that we gave up the fight, for the time being, hoping they wouldn't try to expand any further. But, then they came with their ships and seeders and crash landed on Earth all over the forbidden shore and the rocket yard. And they're obviously after Rasputin because there's three top rank Hive (followers of Oryx) hovering around Bunker RAS-2, the entrance to the Seraphim Vault. Not to mention the invasion force that comes to try and take control of the Array from you. Question is... Who put Crota to sleep, and what does else does Osiris know about him and what happened on the Moon. I really wish he was pur DLC NPC rather than whoever Eris is. Lol... Introducing new characters when we know 1% about the ones we already have.

I believe "The Traveler" put "Crota" to sleep. But regardless, we need to put a stop to all these groundless "conspiracy theories" and the idiots who are preaching them.

Edited by ELRaSun: 11/12/2014 2:29:01 AMCould be. In that scenario, perhaps Osiris, the strongest warlock, was able to overpower him with the aid of the Traveler and put him to sleep? Maybe that's how he got the title as the most powerful in the first place. It would make sense... because he certainly seems to have a healthy fear of them coming back, now that the Traveler is inactive. "Though Osiris has vanished, his prophecies and parables offer undeniable insight. Even in his time among the Vanguard he spoke with fear of the King named Oryx. His Eyes still hunt for the Shrines. If Osiris lives, he will know that you struck a blow against one." - Master Rahool He seems to be the only Guardian to know anything about Oryx and Crota, other than the fact he's followed a large number of Hive. [quote]"Crota's spawn will snuff out the worlds of Light, and Oryx's coming shall be unfettered."~ Osiris[/quote] Ironically, Osiris' entry on Crota reinforces the darkness of the Hive. [quote]"The heralds of a dark future, led by the champion of a long-forgotten king. [b]Crota and his legions once banished us from our own Moon. [/b]Now we fear they are rising again to claim Earth."[/quote] Speaking of strongest Warlock.... Warlock Card 2: [quote]My name is Eriana-3, disciple of the Praxic Warlocks, marked by the Cormorant Seal. We came here under one banner, united in a host of thousands, to claim the Moon. But the battle goes against us. I have taken a prisoner and this is the record of its interrogation. If I transgress in your eyes I ask for your forgiveness. [sound of current or discharge] /Eriana. It responds to pain. It responds to the Light. Hurt it again. [b]Monster, heed me. Who is your master with the sword?[/b] [static event] [b]I can hear it. In my head. [/b][b]The swordbearer's name is [u]CROTA[/u].[/b] Record that. /Should I burn it again? No. I think you're only feeding it. I will touch its mind. Ghost - help. They call you Wizard. You must be ancient. I think you value power very much. Will you still be powerful without this piece of your mind? Tell me how to kill Crota. [static event] It showed me the battle. It showed me Wei Ning dead on Crota's blade. It showed me how Crota killed a Guardian with a screaming knife hammered out of his own Ghost. So I will take a piece of its mind, and ask again. Tell me how to kill Crota. [static event] Incredible. Where? Where is his throne? Where is the twilight world under the dead star eye? /Eriana there's word from the company in Mare Imbrium. Crota is upon them. Half a hundred dead. They need us. Tell me where! Tell me how! TELL ME! [static event] /Eriana what did it say - It showed me how it did this, just exactly this, to an Awoken man, the knives arranged by its will, like little silver ships, like Ghosts - It laughed at me. It said we were the same. /Crota marches with a thousand Knights and they say the sky above Mare Imbrium has turned into green fire. They are dying in numbers I cannot bear to repeat. He kills them one by one with a sword that eats their Light. Eriana, we have to do something - Kill the Wizard. Scatter the ash. It has nothing but lies to offer. Get your Sparrows. We have Light and fury. That will be enough. [/quote] Interestingly Wei Ning is mentioned. He is the one quoted on "The Light of Great Prism," from the Vault Of Glass. IF he forged that Mark, how is it that he was actually killed by Crota? He survived the Vault of Glass? Was he with Kabr? IF so, why wouldn't Kabr remember him? Lol.. I can see how theories keep popping up. I hope Dark Below does a good job of exposition........... I really hope.
