[quote]Before they completely re-wrote the Grimoire ..(Jerks) What happened was Dr Shim (which is you btw) on Venus realizes that the Vex unit they are studying. Has created a perfect simulation of the Universe..But in that simulation they see themselves running the same test on a Vex unit that has created a perfect simulation etc etc. (Just like looking into multi mirrors. ) Realizing that they too could be a simulation (Spooky) They decide to introduce a "War Mind" into the Black Garden, as a War Mind would be too complex to simulate. And they would record the results. If they were simply a Simulation/Experiment the Vex would simply turn them off. Now Dr Shim, (Still you btw) Travels to the Cosmodrome to use Rasputin to enter the black garden, hence why you wake up there. Well long story short...Rasputin enters the Black Garden and meets the Darkness, proving that you are in fact in the real universe but this brings our civilization to a end, and it brings our existence to the attention of the Vex/Darkness... If you read the original Grimoire and count the "Scientists" and then Count the Skeletons at the Ishtar Archive, you will notice that one Skeleton is missing.[/quote]
