I would hope that all you retards hopping on the Bungie can't do continuity train would take a minute to realize that we are not in the original tower. The original tower was destroyed and is easily visible looking up the left side when next to Zavala. After the original Tower - WHICH HAD FAR LESS HUMANS WALKING AROUND - was destroyed, the Vanguard and Company had to relocate to a different place. And I'm sure as all great bodies of government, Zavala claimed eminent domain on our current location. Would make sense that this was never meant to be a guardian outpost seeing as how.... well, there's no guardian outpost. There's no Vanguard area with all their fancy computers. Ada was probably supplying the humans of the areas with a means to defend themselves along with supplying criminals with weapons seeing as how it's clearly a reference to the Black Market. Why would she bother helping the tower when it was attacked? She clearly has a stick up her ass for not getting selected as a Guardian. And when the Vanguard commandeered the current area as the new Guardian outpost, she went into hiding. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND one final point. We have never gotten much information in game as far as story goes from actual story missions. The lore always comes from the weapons and armor, which I imagine since all the content isn't out yet, all the information is out for the backstory to be properly constructed. You all seriously look like a bunch of idiots protesting an 90 year old's birthday just bandwagoning off of the previous post. Is Bungie perfect? Not even close. Is Bungie stupid? In most cases, yes. But they are clearly doing something right if they still have people getting up their own asses about lack of back story in their game. So maybe try pulling your heads out of your asses and putting your brains to work. Maybe then, you won't be so angry.
