Greetings Guardians. I am an Exo warlock, designated Blitz2397. With information that Oryx the so called "father" of Crota is approaching our system I need your help to locate a long lost brother of ours, Toland The Shattered. The threat Oryx presents is no laughing matter, his "son" Crota decimated hundreds of our brothers and sisters on Luna. We can only assume that he is more powerful than his heir. Along with this great power he brings an army, The Taken. Twisted and mutated versions of the foes plaguing our solar system. It is unknown what abilities his armies have, but from early reports they appear to be even more powerful than the organism they were inspired by. With this fact...I believe Toland's knowledge would help us battle this oncoming threat, no matter how mad he may be. Toland, before he left the Tower studied the Hive in order to find some sort of weakness to aid us in our fight against them. His studies and curiosity lead him to commune with the Darkness itself, and we believe that this drove him insane and caused his exile from the Tower. Nevertheless he continued to push on with his work, jotting down whatever critical piece of information he found in numerous journal entries throughout our solar system. Some of these entries are believed to contain the schematic of the weapon known as "Bad Juju".
Through Eris and long dead Ghosts we learned what happened on her disastrous expedition to the Moon. The loss of brave Guardians such as Eriana-3 and Omar Agah, the latter of which had the light stripped from him to feed Crota's spawn. Though depressing and sometimes sickening to read, the entries shed some light on who Toland The Shattered is/was. He was very inquisitive and had an almost unquenchable hunger for knowledge of the Hive. In the entries he doesn't seem as mad as the Speaker claimed he would be, rather he seemed almost rational and dare I say enlightened on what horrors the fire team was yet to face on their quest. But ultimately his hunger and desire would lead him astray. His search for additional knowledge lead him to abandon Eris, and any chance of redeeming himself, in the pursuit of something unknown. As such we do not know if Toland still lives or if he was claimed by the dark depths of the Hive caverns. But...if he still lives...I seek to find him, for his knowledge could aid us in our endeavor against this "Taken King". Post your theories here Guardians...aid me in my quest.

Edited by ilegalgamer6: 11/11/2015 2:29:12 AM(audio-log-001) (entry-001) (start-entry) This exo warlock, designation, ilegalgamer6. As my fellow warlock blitz said, it is our duty as warlocks to seek and find the truth, wether its pretty or not. Ever since my ghost rose me from the dead, I wondered about the creatures that we now face. Mostly, the hive. After gaining the ability to go to luna, i've gone throught almost every corner of that hellish pit. From every last bit in the worlds grave to the deepest and worse summoning pits. And every time I went down there, I felt thought I was being watched, every time I go down there I see something out of the corner of my optics, turn and find nothing, i've managed to access my data banks and review the footage.....nothing. But I swear, theres something down there, not hive, nor light, but something thats looking for something like me, something intrigued, something curious, something......shattered. It is my belief that after many theories, toland is in a way, alive. I still do not know how exactly, but he is. I'll need to go down there more to find the truth, i'm afraid.
