Very...interesting. I’m totally on board with the whole “Nine have a strong connection to the darkness” thing. But I wouldn’t really call them a source of darkness. From last two quotes about the nine that you reference, I conclude that they have a relationship with the darkness similarly to the Jovians. They might be more like allies, influenced heavily by the arrival and destruction of the darkness. Speaking of which, I also believe the darkness wasn’t killed when the traveler sacrificed itself. People like the speaker always refer to it as a “pushing back” of the darkness. That explains why the “remaining” triangle ships are waaay outside our solar system. They fled. Went dormant. If we believe Ulan Tan and this theory on balance, then this would be logical, since the traveler also went dormant. Lastly, on the Jovians building the triangle ships. Im afraid that’s impossible. We know that they were human colonists before, so they were probably the first ones to experience the collapse. Depending on how much time passed between the attack on them and the attack on earth, it either makes somewhat sense or doesn’t. In the time between these two attacks, the Jovians had to be transformed, indoctrinated and build the ships. All of them. And there are many, [b]Many[/b] of them. We know that the triangle ships were there when earth got attacked. That’s a lot of work for such a timeframe. As always, I’m sure you are onto something, but you probably went a little overboard on this one.
