Ok so today something called Owl Sector started taking over this game as an arg. Since then we as a community have been searching everywhere for what Owl Sector could be.
I started looking through the grimoire for anything that mentions owls but couldnt find anything. But in Rasputin 5, a subroutine called " Loki Crown" is mentioned. In the subroutine, it mentions how if people are under a serious threat, Rasputin will start a "noetic release". Noetic is defined as "relating to mental activity or intellect". Of course the 5 new boons guardians are finding in the game(brilliance, splendor, magnificence, glory and fortitude), are all states of the mind and intellect.
Now back to the name Loki Crown. Bungie is kinda known for their creative naming, and with Rise Of Iron having a Norse feel to it, the Norse god Loki might be involved. According to Norse mythology, Loki was a mischevious deity that could turn himself into a bird( sometimes falcon sometimes owl, like owl sector.). So Loki is both an owl and a god that likes starting messes, i.e, having a whole community search for some arg.
This is pretty loosely based speculation, but I think Rasputin sensed humanity is in danger and started that "noetic release" to warn us of an up and coming threat. Maybe SIVA?
This is my first serious lore post so feel free to tell me what your thinking or what i might have said wrong here. Thanks.
Edit: Wow this really blew up over night. I'm glad you guys see this makes sense and hope we find this whole thing out soon.

Please report to the quarantine zone designated by the Vanguard, located near the Eastern flood zone if you have contracted the virus. - Guardian News Network

2 RepliesSo after I get one of them why can't I get any more of them? I got one on my hunter and I've played a ton of crucible games and not gotten. A single one.

Has anyone here read [i]Batman: Court of Owls[/i]? The Owls are a secret organization that have pulled (and pull) the strings from behind the scenes. Could Owl Sector be something similar?

Strength Intelligence and discipline might be a factor. Might also determine the nature of the virus. your traits might determine which you are weak to. Or say I'm heavy in intelligence, then get one virus, then change to increase my strength, would that effect the virus?

So I guess this is why the wall will be undefended bungee giving us this virus I'd a way to explain why all the guardians got sick and couldn't defend it Report of Geographer Quist, OS-I6 2, for Owl Sector records, assigned to incident TRANSMISSION. Quarantine failed shortly after institution. Note to self: Corralling sick Guardians is one thing. Healthy, rambunctious Guardians, armed to the teeth and impatient to go back starside... They threw things. Shun modeled the outbreak for me after we retreated in disgrace. We are on track for total saturation of the Guardian population, excluding those off-duty, inside of a week. Should any complications arise—which, since we're talking about a mysterious invasive technological override, is likely—the Tower will stand undefended, and the City will be helpless and vulnerable to attack. Traveler's shadow, they're going to blame me. RETURN TO CONSOLE Owl Sector © 2016 Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved.

Just a quick thought, we know from Bungie that the wall gets breached at the start of ROI. So here's my theory about the virus. Any full scale attack on the wall would assume the an appropriate response from the Vanguard before the wall could be breached. What if the virus is SIVAs way of weakening us lore wise (since we have an incoming light level increase) thus making us incapable of stopping the Fallen from breaching the wall?

5 RepliesAll makes sense. But what is the deal if you stand next to a guardian that has the virus long enough you controller starts vibrating profusely and a bomb is spawned and kills the infected guardian it was happened to a guy on cog fireteam last night in challenge of elders .we was trying to get the virus to spread but instead a bomb spawned and killed him in the spawn in room with the doors so what's up with that?
-
8 RepliesMy theory is Rasputin knows SIVA is coming and is trying to boost our immunity to the virus, giving it to us in stages so we aren't overloaded. This would make it so we can fight SIVA with out risk of infection.

4 RepliesI have brilliance and magnificent. If any has any of the other 3 infect me please. Gt is Tino Calibrino

Kind of reminds me of the "Corrupted Blood" event in world of Warcraft where blizzard released a virus into the game. Low level characters were dying off. High level character had to repeatedly heal themselves to keep from dying. High levels and those not infected had avoid cities and go into hiding until blizzard patched the virus.

I got a bad feeling about this, reckon the more you have now the worse it is for you at release. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
-
Ok so I get a little buff. Is there anything else we know.
-
Really sucks how we aren't even told that once we receive one infection, we can't get any more. I'm stuck on two now, pretty disappointing.

Maybe omnigul gets around and playing with her to much we have caught something ;)
