Okay, so I'm having trouble finding anything on the Nine. But let's make the assumption that they're the one pulling the strings. Releasing Skolas and the like. They work for their one means and help the Darkness or the Guardians equally. Come to think of it, Xur gives us Exotics, and the Darkness is given Skolas. Maybe they helped release Eris because they knew that would bring about Oryx. I think we're on to something.

Hmmmm interesting....so the Nine are basically only there to bring balance to The Force? (In this case the light and the darkness) or do they have some master plan for the universe? What if they brought about Oryx to test the will and the strength of the newly resurrected Guardians and really their plan is a bit sinister?

I'm thinking more along the lines of a master plan thing. Like they're secretly funding both sides of the war and then they wipe out the winner and reap both the rewards. Two birds with one stone.

Ooooh thats good. Thats reaally good. So the Nine are the ones funding both sides here. I wonder what the ultimate goal is then.
