  • <The Vex are single-celled organisms that are technically brought forward from a metaphysical game that predates the entire universe. From a conceptual standpoint, they follow a pattern that is ultimately designed to have them "win" the metaphysical Flower Game, in which they are the last things alive. However, since the introduction of the Light, Darkness, and their respective Gods (Traveler, Pyramid Armada), this victory is not possible at the moment. Regardless, they pursue this goal, known as Convergence. Convergence is where everyone and everything is Vex or under Vex control. The Collective Mind achieves this by dividing itself into various Axis Minds, each with their own directive. These Minds lead programmings to help them achieve their goal and collect data. One example is Panoptes, the Infinite Mind, manager of the Infinite Forest. Panoptes led a project to build the Forest within Mercury's core, the planet itself already being/having been converted by Dendron, Root Mind. All happenings within the Forest were managed by Panoptes itself, who took up the task of finding a means to achieve Convergence. The Vex have gotten close a couple times already, but their latest attempt was during the events of Curse of Osiris, where Panoptes finally figured out a plan to secure a Vex-only future and began to enact it. We killed it and the data went with it. Since then, only certain programmings have been a threat. The Sol Divisive only reacted due to the Lunar Pyramid's awakening and the reactivation of the Black Garden, and the programming responsible for the Endless Night are only doing so by the will of the Oppressive Minds, who are being influenced from the outside. One of the best Vex aspects is their conversion. When Radiolarian fluid enters a host body, it begins to replace their cells one by one, as well as replicating itself. Being single-celled organisms, they reproduce rather quickly. As conversion continues, your fluids get replaced with Radiolaria, and your body begins to take the shape of a metallic frame. Note that conversion doesn't reduce you to fluid, it makes your body both fluid and shell. Once the frame is completed, the fluid still within moves the frame through wires and tubes. Your mind is collected in the fluid as it gets assimilated into the Collective. This is what happened to Kabr after he sacrificed his Light to build the Aegis. Vex have trouble simulating the paracausal. This list includes the Traveler, the Pyramids, Ghosts, Guardians, and Ascendant Hive. This means Savathun, Xivu Arath, us, and the Gods can only be placed as the equivalent of static models in their simulations, because they cannot predict what any of us do next. That being said, that's the Forest's limits. A standard Goblin, which has less processing power, cannot simulate anything too complex, such as a Warmind. To add another layer, an altered Vex can potentially simulate MORE. Quria once was unable to simulate Oryx, but after being Taken it managed to do so perfectly. This is actually how it is able to Take, though it needs external power to do it successfully. The Vex only have the ability to -blam!- with reality in places like the Vault of Glass, where time is bent to their will. Unfortunately, the Vault is the only place they can do things like this, and so Atheon and the Gorgons cannot leave. Oracles are luckily multi-purpose, but their protocols in the Vault cannot be used outside of it. Asher Mir once hinted that Vex Radiolaria can eventually overpower Blight corruption, though it is unknown if this is simply because of how Quria is Taking vs how Oryx Took or if this was always the case.>
