I love this idea. The Hive only serve the darkness becuase it came to their aid when Fundament was going to be swallowed by the god wave. If the Traveler had done so instead maybe the Hive would be creatures of Light.
If the Darkness found us before the Traveler did and gifted our worlds with power and immortality, would we think we're the bad guys? Probably not.
Then again it's all perspective. Personally I can't justify a good reason to kill life, it's just a bad thing. But hey whatever floats your boat.
