Atheon is alive and apparently simulations can blot out the sun now?
New info on season of the splicer came out today as I'm sure you're all aware
What caught my eye most is two things in particular
The Vex city simulation: so the Vex apparently casted a "simulation" over the city that blocks out the sun. now forgive me but I don't think that's how simulations work... vex conduct stimulations within the Network or the infinite forest, I don't recall the Vex ever being able to project their simulations into reality. I feel like it would've made more sense that the Vex have locked the city in a time paradox or something where the time is permanently night or whatever. I just don't understand how a simulation can blot out the sun irl
Atheon never died: so on their website there's a plot synopsis of the season and near the end they delve a bit more into the vault of the glass. They specifically talk about both it and atheon as never before seen threats, and that atheon has always been active and is behind what's going on. This absolutely doesn't make sense since we see in the view legacy tab we killed atheon, and curse of Osiris starts off with showing us presumably the fireteam that took him down
I'd be more than happy to get corrected in the comments below

Back during D1 days this was the reason for why they will win over any other army of darkness (read original: Fallen, Cabal, Hive, and Vex). As for the simulations? It looks like the original theory is the correct one: The vex simulations can kill us and once they bypass the door? It's game over. We are venturing forth to shut down and prolong the nature of Atheon, Time's Conflux. [quote]Atheon never died[/quote] D1 vex lore: If you do not shut down the vex conflux then all they need to do is build a new one, sacrifice (if that is indeed what they are doing) to it and rebuild. This explained how they got the gate shut and locked for the black garden and why we ventured back in. It's just replacing a cog in a wheel and using the same signature to rebuild the big bad robot. [quote]They specifically talk about both it and atheon as never before seen threats, and that atheon has always been active and is behind what's going on.[/quote] The old meme says it best honestly: What if, by venturing into the Vault of Glass and defeating Atheon we started the chain of events to today? Is that why there are so many unique missions and strikes and enemies coming back? Did we break time itself in and partially out? Was Atheon a bigger handler then we gave credit? The answer was always yes. Back during D1, we literally had no other theory as to how enemies were coming back completely. Fact is, if the vex found ANY way to do what the Red Legion did to the Traveler? We would have a really.... REALLY...
