Old Villains could return via the Infinite Forest!

Just did one of the Mercury Strikes, specifically the one with the Cabal boss at the end of it. During the dialogue immediately after the strike begins, there is mention of a threat that simulated Cabal troopers could escape the Infinite Forest with world destroying Vex tech (probably not those exact words, but you get the idea). What's important to note is that in those lines specifically, the following things are specifically mentioned: * Mentioned Cabal troops are definitely SIMULATED troops, not real ones that ventured inside and got trapped. * They could escape the Infinite Forest. * That bringing Vex technology with them would be bad. From this, we can gather a few key facts: * It is possible for simulated entities within the Infinite Forest to escape. * Objects can be brought with them, and presumably would function exactly the same in the real world as they had within the Infinite Forest. To put it bluntly, this means that anything and ANYONE that the Vex can simulate in the Infinite Forest can be brought into the real world. Villains like Atheon, Aksis, and Skolas could be brought back with this method. Oryx might be out of the picture due to the failed attempt at simulating him by Quaria, and by extension all Ascendant Hive, but the others are definitely a possibility. A younger Oryx might be possible too, as Quaria was able to simulate Aurash (Oryx, when he was a female Proto-Hive). Not saying they should remake boss encounters with all past villains for the Infinite Forest or anything (someone else already suggested that, and personally I think a Legacy Raid system with the Infinite Forest as the setting could be awesome), but I am saying that this has amazing story potential. Imagine one of the simulations becoming self aware and trying to escape? Whoever it was and whatever race they belonged to, our interactions with them could teach us more about their history. Did you also hear Osiris mention that he went to a simulation of Fundament during...I think it was one of the Adventures? That's also something that could be explored in the Infinite Forest. Just pointing out that the Infinite Forest has more potential than I originally thought, and I'd be incredibly disappointed if Bungie didn't capitalise on it.
