[b]Likely connection......[/b] The Stranger worked with Osiris. She used stolen and modified Vex tech to travel in space and time. The tech was procured and modified by Osiris and his followers on Mercury. During his travels in the Vex simulator on Mercury, Osiris discovered the existence of the black garden and the heart and determined it needed to be destroyed. Osiris assigned the task of finding a champion to enter the Black garden and destroy the heart to the Stranger. The Stranger traveled across space and time finding various Guardians and, by manipulating circumstances, encouraged them to best the hive on the moon and then the Vex on Venus. You were the only Guardian who was strong enough to make to through the hive to the World Grave on the moon and so receive instruction from the Stranger to go to Venus and “discover” and beat the Vex. It was at the end of this battle that the Stranger used the phase “little light” used so often by her associate Osiris when he spoke to his ghost. Her name, Sagira, means little light in Egyptian. The rest as they say is history. [b]Questions that remain[/b] 1. The Stranger does not have a ghost and was not forged in light. [b]Theory[/b]: the Stranger is a human transferred to an exo frame in the Labs of Clovis Bray who fought on Earth during the collapse but did not not die in the collapse. She has lived to the present day. 2. Why didn’t Osiris kill the black heart. [b]Theory[/b]: too busy on Mercury in the Infinite Vex Simulator 3. When did Osiris meet the Stranger [b]Theory[/b] : Could have been anywhere at anytime, but given he has been busy since expulsion from the Vanguard it’s likely they met on Earth between the time of the collapse and Orisis’s expulsion from the Vanguard. 4. The Stranger gave my Guardian a weird gun which showed signs of modification. [b]Theory[/b] : Osiris modified a standard Earth made pulse rifle he took with him from Earth to Mercury when he was expelled from the Vanguard. The gun was modified using appropriated Vex tech and given to the Stranger for her use. The Stranger gave the gun to your Guardian as thanks from Osiris for killing the heart of the Black Garden. All corrections and refinements most welcome.

Half life 3 confirmed

I for one would welcome the stranger back. She represented a lot of what was wrong with D1 (no story and unanswered questions), yet she is a lot of what D2 is missing (mysterious, suspense, and a dang NPC who is actually serious). Plus I just want those unanswered questions from D1 answered!

OMG Sagira IS the Stranger! That changes everything! DLC is awesome now. 🙄

He also says "We have all the time in the world" drawing a parallel to "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

Nope, "wrapped up nicely" were roughly the words used to describe the strangers storyline

I think the stranger and Osiris are connected because of the common enemy with the two. Because in D1 the black garden mission involved destroying the heart of garden that was protected by the vex, so the heart was vex one of idk how many important pieces of vex tech and the stranger was clearly from the future (because of her weapon, and her knowledge of both the vex and the future) were the black garden was never destroyed and the vex destroyed everything. I also think at one point in the future the Stranger and Osiris crossed paths and Osiris decided to send her back to the past. Remember when she talking to someone on her comm link i think she was talking to Osiris. And the reason she call the ghost in D1 Little light is probably because of when she meets Osiris he probably calls Sagira little light and so after that she started doing it.

That 'little light' line was the only thing to divert my attention from all the silent charades my character was playing. Seriously over-animated silence. But that line was great.

In the original pre-launch Destiny story, the Exo Stranger was Osiris's assistant. So there was a big connection originally. Whether or not Bungie would actually bother bringing it back I don't know. EDIT: Anyone else think the Forge made Pulse rifle (Mahchina Dei 4) you can get looks like the No Time to Explain that the Exo gives you at end of Vanilla D1? And the exotic for that matter. The description on those old ones indicates they were from the future/past. If they managed to link the Osiris story to us in Vanilla it could be cool.

In the end of Destiny 3 it's going to be revealed that everything we've done has been a massive Vex simulation and the Exo Stranger was someone who was working with Osiris to find the prophesied Savior of the Guardians. Our adventures are really just them observing our potential future and deciding if they want to send Ghost to find us specifically in the first place or if he should look for someone else.
