The Lucent Hive Aren't Really The Enemy

Consider for a moment. You're fresh from the grave as they say. No memory of who you are, of what you are. Who do you listen to? Your Ghost. The Lucent Hive, they're not resurrected with their memories or hatred of Humanity intact. They no longer have worms to feed, worms to direct them. So who tells them how to be Hive? Other Hive, who are still listening to their worms, who still hate Humanity. Who tells them to seek out other Hive? Their Ghosts. It began with Savathun. She was dead. DEAD dead. Her Ghost, Immaru, found her corpse, basically on the outskirts of the Last City. Immaru brought her back. IMMARU directed her away from the Last City, away from the Traveler, away from Guardians. Savathun could have been a bridge between the two species, humanity and the Hive. She had no memories of who she was, no memories of her schemes, her plans. She didn't even know her name. Immaru had other ideas... Why? Because Immaru is a bitter little -blam!- who was resentful over how long he spent looking for a Guardian. He basically said, "To hell with humanity," and set the entire story in motion. From that one choice, everything else is derived. Other Ghosts turning to the Hive. The Hive proper continuing Savathun's plans from when she was alive to take the Light. Hell, Savathun said it herself, how it would have been so clever of the Traveler to just let her die; it would have been far more clever to send her a Ghost that would have made her an ally of humanity, as was done with Uldren Sov. Instead, she got Immaru. Wait and see. Immaru will be back, probably as a Disciple of the Witness, but definitely as some sort of big bad. He'll be some sort of "uber" Ghost, larger, able to resurrect the entire arena at once in whatever event we face him in. His DPS phase will probably be when his shell is open as he's standing by to resurrect all the enemies the fireteam just killed. Savathun had schemes, but in the end, she was just a tool for her Ghost.

    You have assumed much about Immaru's influence over Savathun. As Fynch & other Ghost's stories have confirmed,there are a lot of Ghost's without 'Light partners',some have been searching for centuries,some Ghost's like Immaru obviously get emotionally deeply affected by this lack of 'coupling' & would likely be at breaking point,where they would consider to do anything or be with anything to solve this 'incompleteness'! Added to my belief,once you ignore the 'List of Requirements' that is thought to be needed to be a Light Bearer & instead look to what i think is the simple truth,that all that is required is a Ghost to willingly choose to 'Rise' an entity to be a Light Bearer,whist most Ghost seem to have a 'Code of Conduct' of who or what they 'Rise',there are many examples of not so moral Ghosts. Savathun being smarter than any Guardian,would of realised this about the Ghosts during her time as Osiris,all she needed to do was find a disgruntled Ghost,desperate or bitter enough to willingly 'Rise' her,Immaru was perfect,here was a Ghost who thinks himself a superior Ghost,looking for a superior Light Bearer but bitter & twisted after centuries of vainly searching & then he gets offered to be a Hive God's Ghost,i bet he was more than willing to 'Rise' Savathun when she would require it but not only was he a willing Ghost for her but he was/is the 'leader' of a band of wayward Ghost's,including Fynch. Having her memories intact (another thing she would of learned what happens to most Light Bearers) would of course be of vital importance to Savathun,what would be the point of anything she was doing,if she didn't even remember who she was,so she recorded vital memoies that together would make her 'whole' again & pre-prepared her trap to trick us into revealing those memories to her by tempting us with the Glaive! In short,Immaru is a willing tool to further Savathun's goals & Savathun will be back,ofc imo.
