The rug is coming. [Theory... but possible spoilers] Note: The rug ties the room together.... Soteria is an AI developed by the Ishtar Collective, and I believe it's vital to our survival. It was split into fragments, I believe, to reassembled at the appropriate time. That time will be upon us soon. The fragments on their own are extremely powerful prediction engines... "engine", where have we heard that before. One fragment was aboard the Exodus Indigo that is now the city of Nenomuna on Neptune. One was stashed in the Vex collective... but we don't know where, it is believed to be accompanied by a copy of Chioma Esi's consciousness... as its caretaker and, it is my theory, as a guide for restoration of Soteria. I think this fragment is in [spoiler] the Black Garden, and beyond disrupting the simulation the Vex had created to close the Pale Heart... it was Mara's goal. She wants it. She wanted ANOTHER fragment... Because she already has one. She stole it from Alis Li....[/spoiler] That 3rd fragment was on the Exodus Green (my theory)... given to Alis Li, 1st Queen of the Awoken by Maya Sundaresh. And Mara took it. It helped build the Dreaming City, the Oracle Engine is a derivative of it. I think... there's 4 fragments total. One has been right in front of our faces since Vanilla D2... on a different Exodus Ship that was a part of the Echo program created by Maya Sundaresh. Let's call it a "Failsafe". And who's ship is that? Soteria is the rug 😇 👍💠. Truly, you know what is also (per my theory), a derivative of Soteria? Rasputin... or was RIP. He was a corrupted derivative of Soteria... corrupted by Clovis Bray. Soteria IS the rug. SiVA is a derivative of Soteria, it's all rooted in Vex tech... brought to Maya Sundaresh by Subject 12. It was originally designed as a terraforming and building tool... for recolonization on distant worlds pending an inevitable collapse. The Echo Program was begun because of the revelations that came by way of Subject 12. And SiVA was a part of that collapse mitigation protocol. An addendum: As I write this I think I might be mistaken respective how many fragments there are.... I said 4. What if Rasputin and SiVA weren't derivative AI... even though the lore somewhat suggests that because Rasputin has its own derivatives... the subminds. What if they were full fragments of Soteria? Because that would make 6... but what about the Nine? That would be 7. And Bungie likes the number 7. What if I'm wrong about Failsafe as a fragment (still I believe she'll be integral to the process of Soteria's restoration)... BUT Savathun has a piece too? So, there's some variability to these theoretical conceits but I still think I'm close. AND, there's no doubt in my mind anymore.... Soteria IS the RUG 😇 👍💠! It will connect everything and everyone together.
