The SABER Strike is the Devil's first try to get SIVA!

[spoiler]A Wild Gringo has appeared[/spoiler]So ever since RoI has been confirmed, the SIVA technological plague has been of much discussion. And all we know so far is: It is somehow related to the Warminds It was built in the Golden Age The Iron Lords died trying to contain it The Fallen wanted/ got it. Other than that we don't know much. Now I was looking at a Barron's Ambition (Machine gun from SABER) with the description: [quote]"To crack open that depraved Earth-Servitor. To use its secrets to reclaim the Great Machine..." —Translated from Fallen Language[/quote] For those of you who don't know, the "Great Machine" is the Fallen way of saying "Traveler". This has been confirmed several times over. The stranger part is "That depraved Earth- Servitor". Now most people assumed it was Rasputin, a large computer like a Servitor, but I believe it is much more literal. Let me explain. The point of the Strike is to stop the Devils from bypassing Rasputin and gaining access to his Warsats (the meteor things). This we know. What Zavala assumes is that the fallen wanted to use them to destroy the City, but this makes no sense in actuality. Destroying the city would at least severely damage their Great Machine and more so it doesn't relate to Barron's Ambition. They are not in fact "cracking open" Rasputin, just going around him. I believe they wanted the Warsats to actually crack open a servitor. This one http://imgur.com/B9aOIqk Bungie's description of the Plaigue Lands is as follows: [quote]This area near the Cosmodrome has been quarantined for centuries. Now the Devil Splicers have broken through the walls, dug deep into the earth and found technology of almost limitless power. The Splicers are using this forbidden technology – SIVA – to transform the region to fit their twisted desires.[/quote] Take a note to the "dug deep underneath the earth" part because it plays a big role in my theory. What if the Fallen had discovered this "Servitor" (http://imgur.com/B9aOIqk) that was made by the Warminds (post colapse so their respurces were limited to what they had nearby). They wanted to open it but couldn't. They tried to access the Warminds to destroy it and get inside and find what laid below. Our destruction of their plans held them off for a year, but they eventually got in anyways. When inside, what they discovered was the SIVA, and from there is Rise of Iron. It makes sense because this image http://imgur.com/B9aOIqk is often used in tandem with the raid, which Bungie stated involves going underground to stop the SIVA at its heart. What do you think? Did I leave something out or do you believe I am horrible wrong?

  • I agree somewhat with your theory but I don't agree based off of the same evidence. Servitors are indeed computers such as Rasputin along with actual fallen servitors. However, the "servitor" in the picture in the picture looks like a normal fallen servitor. I don't see Rasputin making something that looks so similar to a fallen servitor just by coincidence. The thing has fallen servitor details such as being a big sphere with a central "eye", and it looks somewhat scrapped together. When I looked at it, I'm pretty sure I saw what appeared to be broken airplane wings attached to the side. The fallen are scavengers, and I'm pretty sure we have seen multiple fallen structures made of or using human technology. My guess is that SIVA is some virus created by Rasputin or humans during the golden age that got sealed away like everything else after the collapse and that the fallen stumbled upon it by chance. After all, a lot of the Devils probably migrated out of the cosmodrome after the destruction of Sepiks Prime. While they were looking for a new home they could have found SIVA. I think the giant servitor looking thingy in the screenshot is something created by the fallen, either for aesthetic purposes or to function as their new prime. Just my thoughts.
