  Precursor lore in a nutshell: <br> <br>Part 1: <br>HNW: I like gardening. I hope nothing bad happens to my garden 🙂 <br> <br>Part 2: <br>RS: We should make the universe a better place because suffering is bad. Death of your garden was bad. <br>HNW: but isn&apos;t intervening to stop suffering a little too aggressive? <br> <br>Part 3: <br>HNW: I killed all the dissenters and now we will become a hivemind and reset the universe because suffering is bad. Where R U? <br>RS: . . .

  I can&apos;t think of a single other time in lore where a pyramid ship is described as a tetrahedron, which got me curious as to the exact definition, and in the wiki entry I noticed the following:<br><br>&quot;For any tetrahedron there exists a sphere (called the circumsphere) on which all four vertices lie, and another sphere (the insphere) tangent to the tetrahedron&apos;s faces.&quot; <br><br>Interesting that the existence of a polyhedron necessitates the existence of a sphere

  The fact that with the collector’s edition you can hold in your hands a physical copy of the oldest records known in Destiny lore, recovered from a ketch we infiltrated in a random story mission way back in D1, is mind-boggling. The detail, expansiveness and level of immersion in the Destiny universe is beyond impressive. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I’ve played ever since the beta 10 years ago, and honestly it saddens me that so many people will never truly appreciate how rich this story is.

  The &quot;glass minds&quot; predicting a great wave is interesting, because both possibilities for what that could be referring to (fundament&apos;s God wave or the collapse hitting titan) were directly caused/planted by the witness. Its precursor species (or at least Hemingway and rorschach) were clearly trying to prevent these outcomes but ultimately caused them. The idea of the main villain of DESTINY, where the tag line of &quot;guardians make their own fate&quot; has been around since vanilla d1, falling victim to a self fulfilling prophecy is a really interesting piece of writing if that&apos;s what bungie is going for

  The witness even says &quot;my friend&quot; as he&apos;s cutting into the traveler

  What if RS, &nbsp;&quot;Rorschach&quot;, is the entity inside the Traveler all this time? We still don&apos;t know too much about the collapse. In all other cases the Traveler fled when the Witness caught up, but with humanity it decided to stay and created the Ghosts. Ghosts always fascinated me because they are essentially tiny consciousnesses, which we learn to be a Darkness thing normally. What if during our collapse Rorschach went into the Traveller, pushed away the black fleet and reverse-Witness himself and divided his own consciousness into many many pieces to form the Ghosts to help humanity at an &quot;individual&quot; level. Maybe that is his way of the final shape now. We know he rejected the Consensus. He maybe all for devotion, bravery and sacrifice of individuals rather than a singular consensus. Final Shape trailers shows our Ghost speaking about how he knows his true purpose now. Maybe that is because Ghosts have finally returned to the source, to Rorchach. We all remember the concept Destiny Traveler cutscene where a feminine figure greeted the first team that found the Traveller. Maybe Rorschach is the new version of that idea?
