I have just realized something interesting
In the original opening cutscene of the game, when we see the expedition to Mars, one of the astronauts is carrying a combat rifle.
At first, I thought it was supposed to depict the first human exploration expedition to the red planet and bungie made that decision just because it looked cool to have a guy with a rifle.
But maybe he had the rifle for a reason. Maybe we detected energy emissions from the traveller hiding on mars but we didn't know what it was.
But I think something more sinister is going on. That the traveller had spies in the Space program. Maybe even the speaker himself. Could be he sent them to Mars to "discover" the traveller and he knew they might need some firepower in case the traveler's enemies showed up.
Also notice how the Speaker talks in the past tense but says "We called it the traveller" indicating that he was possibly alive at the time of the Mars mission.
What is your view?
