I would add this: Because the Vex have an interest in securing all possible timelines, and because all forces of the "Darkness" have an interest in the Traveler, the Vex knew that the Traveler would eventually reach our solar system. They seeded Mars (where the traveler first landed), and Venus. And as you said, they later "awoke" and began to spread to other planets, which they would have done "if the Traveler hadn't stopped them."
So it's not that the Vex just happened to be here. They knew "here" was the place to be. Whether they traveled to the past and set up camp, or their past selves knew far enough the future to do so, it happened.
I find the Hive very interesting in that they seem to be the only group working directly with the Darkness. The Fallen and Cabal that we're fighting now seem like remnants of a civilization rather than direct agents of the Darkness. And the Vex are just doing their own thing trying to control the universe - Light, Dark, and everything in between. I suspect with the "Taken King," we'll see versions of the Cabal and Fallen that have been "taken" by Oryx, and enslaved to become direct agents of the darkness. Which also implies that Oryx isn't necessarily of the Hive, but an actual being of the Darkness who used his power to birth Crota for the Hive.

I agree with your thoughts on the vex. It seems likely that the vex are utilizing the travelers terraforming to achieve their aims.

Edited by ChanChaFran: 6/9/2015 10:11:36 PM"My Ghost commented that the Traveler had made something of this world, and then Vex had eaten that something." Which might explain why the Vex have dormant networks that were only activated when the Traveler arrived. Otherwise, they could have changed every planet billions of years ago. So whatever the Vex require of the planet is directly related to the influence of the Traveler.

That would also explain why the Black Garden looks like Venus. The Vex sealed a realm of Mars out of time ("Time? That can't be right") that was what Mars once looked like after the Traveler's influence, but prior to the Collapse and Cabal invasion. And then at some point the Heart was there. But what's the connection between the Heart and the Vex? The Stranger says the Garden is "where these machines are born." And the Heart is the "source" of the Black Garden, as we are supposed to "rip out its heart." Did the Vex secure the terraformed Garden for the Heart? Is the Heart just another seed of many, and this one happens to be for our solar system? Is the Heart of the Darkness or of the Vex?

If i were to venture a guess, I'd say that the vex know how to harness and utilize light. So much of the vex's technology appears to be made purely of light. But light is not strong enough, light is always supplanted by the dark as a cosmic rule. This is why they worship the darkness, they are trying to learn how to harness that power instead.
