Should Stephen Merchant (as Wheatley from Portal 2) voice the ghost?

A lot of people liked my suggestion about Ellen Mclain voicing the ghost, but it appears a lot more people liked the idea of Stephen Merchant voicing our cubed companion. Basically, it would be Wheatley in Destiny. I think that would be a great idea because Destiny already takes itself too serious and our ghost is already an idiot. Stephen Merchant would simply add more to that character. Here's some sample dialogue I cooked up: [spoiler]Wheatley: Hello? HELLOOOOOO? Oh FANTASTIC! You're awake! Wow, I honestly didn't think that'd work you know. Wow, being a ghost is incredible!!! *flies around ecstatically* WOOHOO! I JUST REANIMATED THE DEAD!!! LOOK AT ME!!!! *comes to a stop in front of the guardian.* This is AMAZING! The speaker told me I could reanimate the dead, but I didn't actually believe him! "Nutters! You can't bring the dead back to life!!!" I thought, but here you are, not dead!! Wow...this is.....simply amazing. Oh, I'm sorry guardian, you must be confused. You've been dead for a long time and I just brought you back to life. *distant roar* Umm....I'll have to explain our situation later. For now, we should run towards that wall. *enters the wall* Wheatley: So, I've been floating around the moon for centuries, losing my power. Then BOOM, next thing you know, I'm a ghost! Crazy isn't it? One moment I'm floating powerless, the next moment I'm a ghost for the traveler! I don't even know what a ghost is, but I'm LOVING IT! Oh, sorry. Um......yeah, I'm detecting movement all around us. OH GOD, WHAT WAS THAT?!? Oh, that's just a rat. Sorry! Just a rat. OH GOD!!!!!! THAT WAS NOT A RAT!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, it left us alone. ....scary. Oh look! There's a gun over there! You should probably pick it up! *skip forward all the way to the first hive encounter Wheatley: Wow, we can't see a thing. Hold on.....GAH!!!!! *turns on light* Doing that scares the knockers out of me every time! Oh well, now at least we can see now. Wheatley: You know what? I'm detecting lots of movement ahead. I have a really really really bad feeling about this you know? Why can't the speaker ever send us anywhere nice? It's never "Go here and inspect this tropical beach." or "Go camping in the mountains." Instead it's always "Go inspect this eerie derelict building with scary monsters!". I mean, I guess technically that IS our responsibility, but you'd think they'd give us a brea.. OH GOD, ZOMBIES....I MEAN THE HIVE!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO SHOOT THEM...WELL, SHOOT THEM IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT THEN RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *the next few minutes, Wheatley continues to scream frantically while the guardian kills the hive.* Wheatley: Well then....I knew you could handle it. I was just screaming.....to encourage you. I wasn't really scared.....well....nevermind. *skip forward to the Devil's lair strike mission, the first crescendo event with the terminal Wheatley: Well...I'm going to have to hack this terminal. I think I'm getting better at this, so I shouldn't have any problems this time. Let's see........oh boy........umm......no trouble, no trouble at all...this should be easy....he....hehehe....*nervous laughter* Wheatley: I may have just accidentally set off an alarm! I'm so sorry! I'll try to fix it. EEEEEEEEERGH!!!!! I JUST MADE IT WORSE! NOW THERE ARE TWO ALARMS!!!!!! WHY DO THEY HAVE TWO ALARMS?! I MEAN, ONE ALARM SHOULD BE ENOUGH, BUT TWO ALARMS?!? *starts getting into an argument with a Fallen AI in the terminal. Wheatley: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT ALLOWED IN? I AM A FALLEN! LET ME IN!.......SO WHAT I DON'T LOOK LIKE A FALLEN! I'M A NEW TYPE OF CYBORG FALLEN DISGUISED AS A GHOST!!! I'M LEADING THESE FILTHY HUMANS TO THEIR DEATH AS AN OFFERING TO YOUR...I MEAN OUR GOD, SEPIKS PRIME! COME ON!!!!! wait what? Prove...I'm a fallen? What, DO YOU WANT ME TO BLOW MY COVER? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M A MORON?!? NO, COME BACK! COME BACK! ARGHHHH!!! *slams his body into the terminal and causes it to short circuit, the gate opens. Wheatley: Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?[/spoiler] [b]On dying[/b][spoiler]Wheatley: All right, you died. That's-that's okay! I can just bring you back to life. Though if I may make just one suggestion...just a small suggestion, nothing too big, too critical. Could try to not die? J-just...okay you died again. That's okay! Just a click of the button and there you are! You see that thing in your hand? That's a gun! You just pull the trig....yes, there you go. Good kill, good kill![/spoiler] [b]On the nightfall[/b] [spoiler]Wheatley: Sorry to interrupt you, but have you ever gotten the feeling that you've done this before? Like...just a little bit of deja vu? Huh...it must be just me then. I'm sure it's nothing.[/spoiler] [b]On the Vex[/b][spoiler]Wheatley: You know there's a story about the Vex. Well, more like a rumor about where they come from. You're not going to believe this, but they say the Vex used to be a line of watches. You know those devices...well, you wouldn't know. That was before your time. Well, humans used to wear watches on their wrists to tell times and the Vex started out as these things. The watchmakers kept making watches more and more complex and eventually, the watches gained sentience and they learned not only how to tell time, but to....*dramatic pause* hack it. When they did this, they decided to rebel against their human creators. Scary, isn't it? Being attacked by your own er....bling.[/spoiler] What do you guys think? Should bungie make a deal with valve to have Wheatley released as a ghost DLC?
