As an avid Destiny player, I enjoy a thorough trek through the grimoire and non-obvious bits of lore to this game in an attempt to piece together the world around us players. It's fantastic fun and, should you appreciate a good story (with or without a bit of speculation tossed in) you might as well. However, the more we try to work towards, with what limited resources we've been given thus far, we have to bridge some serious gaps. Big ones. Like, jet-fuel-and-steel-beams consipracy theories, which I shan't deny my own involvement in. That being said, some of them -just might work.- So let's hear them! I've one to start you off with: [spoiler] I'm concluding, if only temporarily, the connection between the creation of the Exos and their unnecessary resemblance to humanity on the concurrence of a few grimoire cards. To be specific, look at Ghost Fragment: Exo 1. "This is what I believe happened, back in the time before any Exo can remember. It explains everything. I think someone wanted to live forever." These are the thoughts of an Exo in the world of Destiny that inspired my little theory. So I've investigated. If someone wanted to live forever, an in order to do that had created Exos altogether, then they would have needed a method to synthesize/copy/digitize/whatever their consciousness and transfer it to that of an Exo. I'm not saying that's where ALL Exos may have originated, and perhaps the person with this plan failed altogether to complete the original goal but instead aided humanity with the creation of a warrior race instead. But I digress. Ghost Fragment: Vex 1-4 chronicle the efforts of an Ishtar science team in their attempt to rescue their simulated, potentially fully sapient, selves from the mind core of a stasis-frozen Vex unit. Ultimately, their efforts are successful with the help of a warmind, and the simulated version of themselves are happy to be sent into the Vex networks on expedition, leaving their real world versions behind to record it all. But they have found nonphysical copies of themselves, hundreds of them, and it seems completely plausible that some of the greatest minds in Golden Age history would reserve some of their simulations for transfer into a permanent medium, such as transferring onto the onboard systems of an amazingly advanced synthetic human - an Exo. I'm unsure if the efforts are ever successful, and obviously no idea if I'm right, as speculation is the byproduct of the untameable beast that is an incomplete story. Evidence supporting the failure (to transfer human consciousness) could be supported by recognizing the fact that Exo consciousness is understood as being seeded with the Deep stone Crypt, which is an ENTIRELY other topic for speculation and tin-foil-hattery. [/spoiler] Cheers, all!
