What's the deal with these Voltaic Motes within the Raid?

So, I was wondering. What is the deal with those motes? Especially the tainted motes within the final boss encounter. What exactly ARE these things? I would assume the Voltaic motes are something akin to motes of darkness but what about the tainted ones? The hell is with those?

    I mean...Drifter DID say that with every mote we bring him, it brings him closer to salvation... Also heard an interesting quote in the beginning of a Prime match once, how his ships AI is part Vex Mind. (He doesn't discriminate and neither should we apparently, lol) Coincidence?

    • My guess is: Remember the orbs of light during the solstice of heroes being arc, void, or solar. Almost the same thing but darkness instead.

    • Voltaic: relating to electricity produced by chemical action in a battery; galvanic. So... Perhaps the Sol divisive managed to turn Darkness and light into a battery?

    • Gambit was our chance at Salvation. Drifter knew about GoS all along...

    • The Motes in Gambit are dark energies that the Drifter is having us Harvest. The Vex are doing the same thing, even attempting to convert them into something else.

      Unfortunately some things don’t really have a deeper meaning/ lore behind them I think these motes are one of those things
