Look at that link I posted His movements are based on the alignment of the planets. [spoiler]the actual quote is "I belive my movements may be based on planetary alignments, thus he is only there on certain days, in this case weekends[/spoiler] xur is a manifestation of their power which [spoiler]if you listen to xur talk he speaks of cells dying and cells being collected... Cells cells cells. I find it very likely that xur is composed of cells that were scooped up from various dead guardians, hostile creatures, whatever around. This would also explain why xur seems to have a cloak, a mark and bond. If this is the case, which I think it is, how do some planets cause that[/spoiler] I'm starting to think they too might be drawing from the deep but to somehow assist the light. [spoiler]I'd like evidence for that[/spoiler] the nine scare me and they're in a video game. Gravity and if you're a celestial body, chances are you're bound to have some kind of all controlling mind. [spoiler]I'd that's the case, why didn't Saturn aid oryx against us thus causing everything to stay in balance[/spoiler] I feel like there may be a division among the nine seeing as how one of the inner planets became corrupted by the vex machines, they took over the mind of mercury and turned it into a super computer. so the "Jovians" are now concerned and are helping the light to prevent any more of the nine from being corrupted and seeing as how the inner 4 are the only one so far to be effected (aside from earth) by vex it stands to reason that the Jovians are a leading effort in playing cards for the inner worlds. [spoiler]but that doesn't explain why they say the nine are jovians... Some of the nine are jovians, or the leaders of the nine are jovians[/spoiler] Just so you know, I'm not trying to be a dick by fighting like this, and I understand how it may be coming across, however I do this to every theory I find, I do hope you understand :)
