Taox could be dead, krill lifespan wasn’t long. Although wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow prolonged their life

I know at one point in the lore Taox was said to be found in cryo-stasis, so she’s not really tens of thousands of years old. It would be strange if the writers let her narrowly escape the Hive gods time and time again just for her not to show up in the game’s plot at one point or another. No way she’s dead

She was a Krill mother-morph which I seem to remember having longer lives. So I’m sure Taox can be shown somehow. It’d be something to see her and Savathun interact after all this time.

Not much longer. Was it ten or twenty years total?

Well we don't know how long the orbit of fundament was around its star. So we don't know how long a year is in proto-hive terms. She was also a sterile mother morph who lived longer than regular mothers for some reason iirc. Wouldn't it be wild if Xivu Arath caught her after the three gods went their separate ways and prolonged her life just to keep her around and suffering? Or if she were just alive and and was helping us fight Xivu.

Oh in real life? Time-wise, Yeah, you’re right. But the only time any distinction is made is when it isn’t earth normal. Keeps the wording and dialogue short and sweet. Conversion while translating, kinda like how every alien speaks your language. That’s not a detail a godslayer needs. 😎 That could be an easy way to tie her off, some lore card entry mentioning her being a torture toy. But hey, trying to beat the clock by freezing yourself? Risky. To be alive? That’d take some work. I want to say the last of Taox was being found by the Ecumene in a cryopod. She likely would of warned them of the Hive and her own condition, no reason to not keep her on ice while checking out the veracity of her story. She was already getting old when they took over. And it took some time to take over Fundament, the Moons and then spread out into their territory. So she would need to stay on ice almost all the time. Kinda like popping up After they encountered the hive? Hard to say. Ecumene didn’t seem nice but they didn’t seem stupid, so killing by interrogation seems unlikely. The Ecumene didn’t have her when the dust settled. She may have been let go, so to be alive she’s doing some [i]deep[/i] cycles of cryo, waking up to do a quick catch up and reading of location and time and situation then plotting another cycle. She’d have so little time all she can do is try to find someone and warn them. Have a few years of peace, pass on knowledge.

It’s been thousands of years though they might live longer but not that long, again bungie could give us a way. Maybe Taox got blessed with the light at some point

That would make the whole exercise of being that character back pointless.
