The problem with the "big reveal" at the end of the Taken strike
At the end of the Taken strike in the EDZ there's some supposedly "big reveal" that the boss is Red Legion. Leading to this conversation like, "Oh, how'd he get Taken if Oryx is dead? It must have been one of Oryx's sisters that's started getting all Took-y."
Oryx had been Taking civilizations for thousands of years before his defeat. Maybe millions. I forget. Is it somehow inconceivable that in all that time Oryx never ran into the Red Legion, a military force with a supposedly galactic presence? Makes more sense to me than one of Oryx's sisters Taking cabal in our solar system from whatever far off dimension they occupy.

1 ReplyFair point, but I think the evidence suggests Taken can't warp across infinite distances, or else we'd have been overwhelmed by Taken from races we haven't even seen yet. It looks like the only Taken in the system were either ancient Hive that Oryx brought with him or from the races that we had already encountered in-system that he took. Presumably he rebuilds his army on every campaign. Not denying that a Red Legion Taken could be from elsewhere, but that either means we've got a Hive-God in the solar system actively Taking new soldiers or a new Taken King bringing in reinforcements from beyond. Both are equally terrifying.
