The exo stranger is a Future War Cult agent sent into the future by the war cult during the golden age.
In the golden age FWC had this machine that could do a bunch of sciency stuff. They used this machine to do math stuff knowing that there was a dark force after the traveler, and they used it to see the outcomes of if the darkness came back. The machine went through many scenarios and stuff, sometimes the traveler and guardians won, and sometimes they didn't.
To ensure that the traveler didn't lose they sent an agent forward into the future to help lead guardians to fight against the darkness.
TL:DR- Future War Cult had a machine that could make predictions, and some of them were bad. So they sent a robo lady into the future using the machine so bad stuff didn't happen.

If she was a time traveler, she would have all the time in the world to explain what she doesn't have time to explain and why she doesn't have time to explain it.

Thanks for the explanation!

Jut a thought if this happened in the golden age wouldn't they have sent her to the future just enough to stop the darkness doing what it did to the traveller maybe? loving what you found on this I must admit. could it not have been during the collapse in an attempt to save them?

Impressive. Good find.

Supporting Grimoire, if anyone else is interested: [quote]Ghost Fragment: Future War Cult RECORD 343-CHASM-7887 Subject twenty-two. Admitted to the Inner Circle at 24:00. A promising postulant - I regret to say he performed poorly. He was administered the standard medication but refused to enter the Device. Aren't people unpredictable? I suppose there'd be no point if they weren't, would there? He knows to keep silent. END RECORD RECORD 343-CHASM-7888 Subject twenty-three entered the Device at 11:00. A clever girl from the Core District; an artist, before she joined the War Cult. At 11:03 she reported a sensation of floating. At 11:06, a sensation of lights within the darkness of the Device. Between 11:06 and 11:32 she reported these lights variously as white, golden, and blood-red. At 11:32 she reported a sensation of someone taking her hand; a stranger, but also herself. Twelve subjects have reported similar experiences. At 11:33 she reported the sensation we have called "The Opening Of The Veil." The Device recorded temporal displacement of her consciousness to the order of six degrees. At seven she began screaming. Brainscans near-death. Removed from the Device at 11:34. She believes without question that the Device granted her a vision of the future, and that it was one of utter Darkness. She thanked me for this enlightenment. She says it will make her stronger. Little Ghost, there in the corner of the Sanctum - I see you blinking. Are you listening? Are y - END RECORD RECORD 343-CHASM-7889 The Device at 12:22 and immediately the Device reported displacement of his consciousness. Visions of war and the City in flames. Subject twenty-nine worked the supply channels on the Slip before he joined the War Cult. By 12:27 he was babbling and by END RECORD RECORD 343-CHASM-7890 We have applied certain refinements to the Device. Novarro found records of a prototype of the Device at a Golden Age laboratory in Tibet, and Hari's team retrieved what was left of it. We are the first to see it operational in who knows how long. Too many subjects come back damaged. Mad. We are grasping at straws. What do you think, little Ghost? END RECORD RECORD 343-CHASM-7891 Forty-seven human subjects; eleven report timelines in which the Darkness has already prevailed, thirteen report timelines in which the City has fallen. Twenty-three babbled madness. Hopeless. Trapped. No wonder the Device was abandoned. The human mind is too weak for it. Too weak to look into the Future, or to understand what it sees. What the situation calls for, little Ghost, is a better sort of witness. We found you in pieces in Siberia, and repaired you as well as we could. What do you say? Are you well enough to travel?

Nice! Love reading stuff like this :)

So they put the consciousness of a ghost into an exo?
-
I don't think that's the case since she mentions she was "not forged in the light".
