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.

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.

1-I always thought it was interesting that in the sword of Crota mission the ghost reminds you that the sword is powered by dark energy. And yet it speeds your super charge speed considerably. If your powers are a gift of the traveler, to me that means the "darkness" of Crota and the power of the traveler is not all too different. 2-Also there's a mission on the moon where you fight the hive and when you win the hive were using the traveler's shard. I don't think good and evil is as obvious as black and white. I see the labeling of darkness and light ratings as something like war propoganda. 3-What groups/sides are there? There's traveler, the queen, the fallen, the hive, and the stranger who seems like kindve an underground movement. I know there's a grimoire card talking about a certain number of armies and how to defeat a coming threat. Two will have to work together, it's the ramblings of someone but I don't personally have this card. If someone could quote it that'd really help. I think it hints at what each side is about.
