How The Stranger's Rifle Predicted Everything
Ok Guardians! We all remember the good ole' days, and the mysteries of the Vex, but now everything seems to have just clicked together in one big puzzle.
The Stranger's Rifle, with flavor text that reads
"...parts of it shouldn't exist yet."
Helps us understand that the Stranger was from the future, but what we DIDN'T realize, was that this very flavor text helps predict all of the Vex's activity up until this very moment in Shadowkeep. When the Osiris expansion released, we got a list of Prophecy Weapons (a very fitting name) in which the new weapon, MACHINA DEI 4 was released. As soon as you look at this gun, it's a dead giveaway: the weapon is nearly identical to The Stranger's Rifle, except this time, the weapon's technology now exists -- most likely due to the fact that Mercury has a direct MASSIVE portal into the Infinite Forest, which we can presume the Stranger is using to travel in and out of time.
So now what? Well, with Taken King's release, we're introduced with the exotic version of The Stranger's Rifle: No Time To Explain, which the flavor text reads
"...'soon'"
Now this being said, we're fast approaching the Undying Mind, Ikora is even building her little Vex Gate. Soon...

1 ответThe Vex will not ally with us. As the stranger says, “The Vex are pure evil.” The collective either ignores that which can co-exist with them or destroy it. The Vex see us as a very large threat. Even with the coming darkness, the will not ally with us because we are a treat. The cabal, the fallen, yes they could ally with us, but not the Vex. Remember they worship the darkness and we’re kind of the opposite. Also Spoky is correct, the infinite forest does not do time travel. Remember, the Vex are out of time. Meaning their home dimension is non-linear. We hear this from ikora in the restorative mind strike I think. “For the Vex life is a circle, one minute dying the next reborn.” So they exist outside of time and can travel to any point in their existence at any time. When they enter our dimension they are bound to the rules of time. But once they leave they are back to normal. The forest is built with tech from our future, but it does not time travel. The stranger likely invented her own time travel device, based on Vex technology. I was kind of hoping she’d make a cameo as the Vex are certainly an issue. But so far she’s been written out.
