Why Ikora is Wrong
<Wonder how much shit I'll catch for this...
Anyway, in season 2/year 1, an exotic ship was introduced called the Universal Wavefunction. I'm here to focus on its lore tab.

Ikora looks up from the terminal.
"Perhaps Lakshmi's device is the key. Was I wrong to dismiss it?" She chuckles. She does that a lot more, lately. "Probably. I was wrong about a lot of things."[/quote]
You see, a while ago, people theorized that the Vex were the Radiolarian Fluid. This clearly suggests otherwise.
Well... here's the thing. Radiolaria is most commonly seen as a liquid, but it HAS BEEN SEEN in OTHER STATES of matter. While my argument for gas is a bit of a stretch, we've seen solidified Radiolaria numerous times in both D1 and 2.
The Glass Throne, Atheon's armor, Shielded Minotaur armor, Khartion's armor, the glass shards on Io, the crystals on Nessus. All examples of solidified Radiolarian fluid. If we keep with the theory that Radiolaria is silicon-based, then all examples of Vex "glass" would be something called quartz glass.
How about gas? You ever see the Fanatics in D2? They leave behind puddles of Radiolaria when they explode. Well, they have a strange white gas flowing out of them while they walk around. What about the fog that comes off of Radiolarian Fluid, especially in the Inverted Spire?
The picture linked shows all three.
That is all.>

It would be hard to have it flowing as rivers. Where would one vex begin and the other end. Clearly (with the fluid being the weak spot on all vex) their consciousness or programming is held in that. If you blow off their heads they simply enter a berserk mode and try to kill the one who blew the head off. From this we can deduce that the fluid is the heart that powers the vex while the head contains the conscious part of the machine as per any other lifeform. Like most things in Destiny. I doubt there is any great mystery to it. Most of the great revelations have been Bungie simply using the lore that us players have assumed was true. If enough players say the vex are the fluid I guarantee that's going to become the reality in game at some point.
