For those who don't know what i mean, I am referring to the information revealed by Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil, in the Dust lore book, released during Season of the Drifter. Specifically entries "The Nine" and "The Witch". The Nine are streams of Dark Matter that have somewhat conscious thought, that have been caught in the magnetic pull of Sol and the eight planets in the system (provided i'm correct in saying that; someone correct me if i'm wrong). We know thanks to the second entry, that two factions within the Nine exist: [quote]One faction sent Xûr and Orin to study Guardians and the Light, to seek the secret of effect-without-cause and to protect the source of that secret, the last source, now that the Ahamkara are gone. Those five played at alchemy with the Cocytus gates, turning dark dust into energy and then into matter, but they could not unlock the secrets of our mad existence. They needed ambassadors. Go-betweens.[/quote] [quote]The other faction walks a different path. A path of folds and needles slipped through spacetime itself, existential syringes yielding new spaces, to be remade as the Nine desire. They have tried to gather enough dark dust in one place to form a black hole, and found it difficult: when the dark mass collapses in gravity's fist, the dust passes through itself and scatters. But difficult is not impossible. And there is far, far more dark matter in the universe than bright. They will find a way to make new worlds of it. They will end their dependence on life, and on the Light of Guardians, which the falling veil will soon snuff out forever...[/quote] But one of these members let the Red Legion in (according to the rogue cryptarch) and was punished appropriately: [quote]She sees how one of the Nine blinded Guardians to Ghaul's approach, risking everything (for Ghaul would have destroyed the sun, and the Nine with it) to learn how to steal the Light. She sees how that one was punished. [/quote] So, what I want to start discussion on three parts here: Who was the member (what celestial body is it named after)? What was the punishment in your opinion? And what faction was they apart of? Now I don't know if this has been answered yet, but it was something i have been thinking of; regardless I'd like to hear opinions on the topic.
