[b] The whole cause behind my research was to explain and document the Hive's practices and how to counter the strongest unspoken force of the galaxy. I may have let the curiosity that drove me to my supposed grave get the best of me when it came to allowing myself to succumb to the darkness, but it was all for the sake of understanding and explanation. I merely treaded my path different from yours. I studied the darkness, indulged in it, and learned- the tower did not accept that. My exile showed a point, the tower is weak. Without my research.. Crota would have destroyed- earth and it's last remaining hope. The hive will never be vanquished. No, they never thrived to begin with. They are death itself, they are the vanquished. They kill for the sake of killing. They are what we are not, The city ringed in spears will fall. And the queen of endless armies will be triumphant.[/b] [spoiler]- based off the words of Toland, the Shattered[/spoiler]
