011.420666 [spoiler]Ahah! I’ve figured it out! This entire time, the traveler has been creating these areas of contained time that repeat over and over again, and that we play over and over again, known as vanguard ops, nightfalls, repeatable ‘campaigns,’ raids, dungeons, etc, and most recently, the portal. Like a vex simulation almost… yet the vex are also contained in these infinite looping ‘simulations’ made by the traveler! It all makes sense now… the traveler has made these loops time and time before with different alien races for its own entertainment, witnessing every death, attempt, loss, and victory. It is the real evil, which means, the winnower, the so-called ‘darkness’, the ones who know of the truth of the traveler, is a placeholder for the true darkness. There's a reason the traveler stayed on earth for so long… It's trying to keep us from finding something, unlocking a door, and freeing an old evil that would most likely destroy the traveler as vengeance for its doings; this is the true darkness, and it hides deep below. How do I know? I’ve had the feeling that something hid deep below on Earth, a hellmouth of vengeance and pain somewhere in old Russia, that's been there since before Rise of Iron, before the traveler, and this begs the question: Is true darkness, this hidden being, really evil? Or a deliver? They all thought I was mad... JUST WAIT AND SEE, It will all come together... *starts laughing like a madman*[/spoiler]
