I figured it out. @Bungie, independent of the puzzle... I mean it guided me to it, but I promise it has nothing to do with the puzzle itself, or if it does... I have NOT solved it yet. 100% this is where we are going. Ok 99%... I'm always cautious when making definitive declarations. Spoilers ... obviously ⚠️SPOILERS ⚠️: [spoiler][i]"Adjust course two degrees. It's a long way to [u]Kepler-186[/u], folks. We don't have time to tour Nessus." — Capt. Masoud Jacobson[/i] [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-186f]Kepler-186f[/url] [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_(constellation)]Cygnus Constellation[/url] This is where the Exodus Black was headed before it crashed on Nessus.[/spoiler] I want to explain how I found it... the teaser banner led me to a date 05/21/2061. Which led me to 2 lore entries. Which led me to other stuff - more lore... [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Question]a famous short story[/url] amongst other things. That led me to... [spoiler]The Exodus Black. Its purpose. Kepler -186. That's where we are going. It was a part of the collapse mitigation protocols. For survival... escape Sol, an exo planet for the refugees of Humanity.[/spoiler] I know I'm being cryptic, I don't know IF I need to be... but I'm trying to walk a line... I don't want to ruin things. The chess pieces played no part in figuring it out. The banner did... and again, I don't feel comfortable explaining the exact details because I'm not sure it isn't a part of the community puzzle or IF I just got lucky. I know the fact that I'm not willing to explain it significantly diminishes my credibility, but I'd rather ere on the side of caution. 😇👍💠 To add: The trailer & the banner, to be clear - both. NOT the chess pieces. Here's a thought experiment... IF you could talk to the universe as if it was an Oracle and ask it one question... what would you ask? Would you ask for the truth? Or Would you ask how to control it? Knowledge or power? If you get it wrong, you're doomed to ask it until the end of time. If you get it right, you may lack the agency to survive despite that knowledge. "may"... Is 'knowing' worth the risk? Maya Sundaresh thought so. Cayde thought so. You know who didn't? (This is one of the rabbit holes I found myself in) Eris Morn. You get to read how and when she lost her faith contemporaneously. You know how Eris has this propensity to use Hive poetics when she speaks and writes? It was not always the case, but she was always attached to the melody of her purpose prior to losing her faith and asking the wrong question. Decided that, convinced herself, or was corrupted into believing controlling the universe was most important. Not knowledge. Eris used to be a Buddhist. And instead of Hive poetics she used to repeat Buddhist prayers. [b]Eris,[/b] [i]"Om tare tu tare ture soha: Om Tara, I pray to Tara, O swift one whose name means star. Lead me to Śūnyatā, [u]the emptiness that understands[/u]".[/i] [That's Buddhist Eris]. Before Eris worked with Clovis, she was trying to ask the 'right' question. [i][b]"Aiat".[/b][/i] That's Eris asking the 'wrong' question. Reciting the wrong prayer. Cayde was different... IS Different... the epiphanic keystone. This is his moment: [i]"Realigning. . . . There's no bounty. No Hive. I'm out in plain sight. Sky is torn open and there's nothing and nobody left in this ruined world but me and the boiling shadow all around. Whatever it is hits me before I can level my gun. Doesn't matter. Tendrils of pain crawl over my splayed fingers, my outstretched arms, my shoulders, my neck, my screaming mouth as it consumes. I'm being enveloped. Everything is wrong. Primordial. My systems go sideways. All but my sensors. It wants me to witness this, the world. It's world now. Suffocating in the black poison. I collapse. We all collapse. [Drawings of black creatures that we haven't seen - may be Taken or The Darkness] You wake up and look into the cold spaces between circuitry (galaxies?) begging for answers. None come. But other voices wait. At your center, safe and untouched, sits the original You. Just a little box tucked at the back of a closet, filled with trinkets and odd notions kept for no obvious reason. You have no idea when you last spoke to this tangle, but that's what you do now, using a whisper and the lightest touch, being all sorts of cautious because you're afraid of frightening whatever wants to speak with you. And then it speaks, and instead of answers, it begins with the only question that matters. "Do you want to know what happens next?" Realigning . . . This one ain't mine. It's someone (something?) else entirely. But it's the most important memory I have".[/i] Cayde... after seeing the collapse happen over and over... tortured by it, over and OVER! He chose Resolve. Not, "How do I control it"? How do I gain the knowledge to end it? This is why he joined Mya and betrayed Clovis. The above excerpt IS when Cayde found his faith and steeled his resolve in asking the 'right' last question. Immunity is about, biologically, training the body (learning) via exposure to cure the malady. [url=https://cdn.gosu-noob.com/static/img/1/2015/09/star-antigen-emblem-destiny-taken-king.webp]Star Antigen[/url] The imagery is compelling in the emblem above. [url=https://destinyemblemcollector.com/destiny1/emblem?id=3253299358]Insula Thesauraria[/url] Same emblem... different name 👀. Interesting to note that the emblem name was changed, but also what it was changed to. The Latin translation of Treasure Island. And it's not just the title, the full text has a famous alternate translation. And its purpose, said the translator... was knowledge. So that Latin as a language could live on. That's why the translator chose Treasure Island, because it's one of the most famous and popular pieces of literature. Not on the nose as "Star Antigen". Oh, this emblem was acquired from the Taken King's collectors edition lore book, Cayde's lore book. That used to be called Star Antigen. That has an image of a familiar tree. From a book where Cayde recalled when he decided to ask the "right" last question. What is the antigen to stopping a looping & collapsing eternity? Btw, by the way 😜... whose memory was it? Yes, he was abducted and tortured by it, but whose memory was that? I promise you, it's very important.
