The Queen says "To the Guardians, offer the riches of our realm as bounty for these traitors."
So, now we're bounty hunters and we have nothing to do with... whatever the main story is. It's not even like we're saving the world(s) from an invading force. In fact, it looks like The Fallen are fighting for their own independence, and we're being hired to push them back into slavery. Remember the first time you visit the Queen, and she has the Fallen under mind control?
Wait, are we the bad guys? Hired muscle, hunting down refugees in search of a home and peace, in exchange for glimmer and guns? How far have we fallen since we first woke up in that junkyard?
Or is it like one of those - Han Solo in Star Wars - kinda things where we're just wandering bounty hunters doing our own thing when all of a sudden we walk into an ancient prophecy, blah blah blah, save the galaxy.
Actually, it would be kind of cool to be a bad guy for a change...

Edited by WELSHA08: 4/14/2015 2:58:24 PMThe fallen aren't under mind control, she replaced the Kell of the house of Wolves so they are sworn to protect her, even if she isn't a fallen. They aren't slaves, they are following the rules of their house, the most likely cause for the conflict is that a new Kell has gathered enough followers to mount a challenge on the queen and take control of the house. And as for us helping the queen, we are repaying her for helping us gain access to the black garden. Also it may be in humanity's interest to have control over a portion of the fallen, less of them trying to kill us.
