The end of our last city is by the vex.

Not the fallen, nor the hive. A race that currently in the game has no ties to our earth, other than it being talked about. Research for this began by me exploring the grimore card "Decedents" under the vex category. in that card i found this line. [quote]...should we take this as evidence that their defeat is impractical or unattainable?[/quote] and [quote]...and that the continued existence of the Vex is not remotely a sure indication of humanity's extinction. [/quote] Both of these got me thinking: "could the vex be our demise, and none of the other races?" It says there that if these creatures exist, that in the future we have failed to defeat them. It does also say that this isn't a sure sign of our doom. I wanted more proof, so i looked around a little bit until i found the grimore card "Vault of Glass 3" this card has many lines in it that are important, but it is pretty long, so ill pick out the ones i find most important. [quote]Some of the largest craft bear imagery familiar to frequent visitors to the tower: Dead Orbit symbols, the simple icon of the Vanguard. The New Monarchy and Future War Cult[/quote] and [quote]Every single ship, from the largest cruiser to the smallest personal craft, carries shards of stone, remnants of the City and the Tower. Banners too, tattered and worn from entering and leaving warp.[/quote] This whole grimore card is from the perspective of someone flipping through multiple images in the vault of glass, displayed but from what i can tell are dead ghosts, from past and future. From what i can tell, seeing how this is linked to the vex, these ships could be what consists of civilization after some kind of fight with the vex. A fight that we lost. [spoiler]Any support and [b]constructive[/b] criticism is appreciated. [/spoiler] Edit: Could this be the future war that the fwc is perhaps eluding too? They do have to do a lot with the vex [i]~the unjoj[/i]

    The Vex could be our end, especially since they're practically infinite in number and we still know next to nothing about them. (All of the below is speculation, but with the Vex that's all we can do) However, they can be beaten. We witnessed on the way to No Time To Explain that the Vex had a future of becoming taken before we stopped it. The futures seen in the vault of glass card are only [i]possible[/i] futures, dependent on what we do now in this timeline. The Vex have control over their own time, but they cannot effect our timelines unless we exist in their space (like the vault of glass). This means that there are plenty of ways and opportunities to get in the way of their plans and come out on top. The question is how we do that, and the Vex are probably well aware of their own weaknesses and possible defeats, likely having been defeated before, which means that in order to win we have to exist in a timeline that beats the Vex in a way they haven't experienced before, which becomes harder and harder then more timelines they experience. We as guardians can't be simulated, so the only way for them to know for sure how to stop us from beating them is if they've already been defeated by us before. Eventually, in some timeline, they'll win, but the goal is to secure the timeline we exist in. Now, aside from all the time paradox stuff, the Vex don't even belong in our world. The traveler's influence led them here (on accident, of course) because they hadn't even existed in our solar system before the Traveler, yet they have structures on planets that are said to have existed in time immeasurable. Maybe we could force them back into their own world, too, thus securing our own. We don't understand the Vex, but once we do, I doubt they'll be any more of a threat than the other races are.
