Evidence of "Dark Traveler Theory" - Is the Traveler evil?

The Traveler supposedly saved our worlds, sacrificed itself only for our benefit. But is this really the truth? Do we have any infallible evidence to prove this? We, at Binary Star Cult, do have a theory. We believe the Traveler may not be as "holy" as it is made out to be. It may have acted only in selfish reasons, or even in malicious ones. It could have brought the Darkness to our doorstep intentionally, or it could even BE the Darkness. However, you may ask yourself, how can this theory be any more correct than the one that states the goodness of the Traveler? The answer is: we have evidence. Or at least, we will. This is why this thread is being posted, to find, collect, and analyze the evidence of this theory. I will start it off with a piece of evidence below, from a ghost fragment. This thread is public. Anyone can put their facts or suspicions here. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. The smallest detail you may have could be the key to this entire theory. Although we firmly believe in this theory, we do not want to be blind like some of the followers of the Traveler. If you have any piece of evidence against this theory, if you still believe the Traveler is pure, please, tell us. If we cannot challenge and refute your hypotheses, then how valid are ours? Nevertheless, as promised, here is a bit of confirmation for the theory. Source: [url=http://destiny.gamepedia.com/Ghost_Fragment:_The_Traveler_2]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 2[/url] This Grimoire card is a brief passage from "Dreams of Alpha Lupi." It says: [quote]"This has been such a long chase. This will be the place you will fight. Fight and win. But do you really know why you go where you go, and where this journey is taking you? The chase leads you where you need to be, you believe. Unless...you are being pushed."[/quote] The final line is the key to this evidence. It questions the whole nature of our quest to revive the Traveler. It is not a particularly strong piece of evidence, but we will find more. We will find out the truth about the Traveler. We will find out if I will ever stop speaking like some kind of holy priest giving a sermon. Please, contribute to this theory, not to support any faction or cult, but to support every player of Destiny by discovering the truth.

  • Interesting. I wish to believe there is no explicitly things are totally good and evil. The Traveler, however, is what I believe to be the purist representation of the Light we know of. I think that the Darkness and the Light are both primeval forces that dictate how the Universe works. Like gravity, electromagnetism, and time. Yet the way Light and Dark work is what I believe to be pre- Big Bang. I.e. They are completely opposite yet exactly the same. Like matter and antimatter. How they managed to avoid destroying each other sooner I don't know. But here's what I do know. The Light is the antimatter in this situation. Meaning that it started as meant to be the loser. Alpha Lupi herself is what I believe to be the highest concentration of Light in the Universe we know of. But it is constructed of machinery. Which is limited sense. I choose to draw on another theory that states an all powerful race of beings dictates and controls the Universe. And I also believe they built the Traveler. There's something about that theory that has me worried. No matter how honorable a particular alien race may seem, I would think that self preservation is the top priority. What if the Traveler was meant to be their guard? An all powerful, intelligent sphere that can resurrect the dead as an immortal army and can also release a shockwave powerful enough to tear a hole in space time? There's much we don't know. But if my theory is correct that means we have no idea what this other races motivations are. Perhaps they are still alive and controlling the Traveler meaning they control us. The only game changer we know of is Rasputin. The last Warmind. I think this race may also be Rasputin controlling the Traveler. We have already seen that Rasputin has amazing abilities. What if Rasputin developed conscious and decided to control the Traveler. I think Rasputin is evolving to the point of self awareness. And self preservation. He already is uneasy around us. What if he decides we're no longer needed and strikes? What could we do? There's so much left to answer but do I think the Traveler herself is evil? No. Do I think she can be controlled by something less than good? Yes. We don't know anything about what she does. That's the meaning of a miracle. But the Traveler is already silent. Who knows what could happen when she awakens? Was she being reprogrammed? Will she remember who she is? Or will she die? If we lose the Traveler who knows what else we will lose. The Light, our Ghosts, our abilities, or even our knowledge?
