Before COO was released, many people theorized that Saint-14 would appear, and he does have his own quest line. But what about Mida in dlc 2? Let's start with what we know about Mida. All of this info comes from the lore for the two Mida guns.
1. There was a group of Mida Colonist on mars, likely on one of its poles (the narator of the Mini tool lore mentions frozen water). Like Earth, Mars has frozen north and south poles.
2. Most of them were either left or were killed off (possibly by the Vex, the Mini Tool detected their teleportation signatures).
3. The Mini Tool is an "A.I. marvel," so it probably has an A.I. or was made by one.
4. The Multi Tool may be from a alternate dimension, making it out of Zavalas's jurisdiction to ban (Shaxx should have let him ban it anyway. It would have saved the Crucible).
Now lets review what we know (or think we know) about dlc 2.
1. It's on one of Mars's poles. We know this from the Arecibo adventures's ending (MARS! RED SAND! ICE CAPS!) and the art for dlc 2.
2. It has something to do with Rasputin or another warmind. Again, Arecibo and the art.
3. There is a woman on the art who could be a number of people (I think it's Ana Bray) but that's not important right now.
Finally, let's see what lines up: The biggest thing is Mars's poles. I don't think it's a coincidence that Bungie made sure to have both Mars and Ice in both the adventure and the gun lore. Secondly is the A.I. The fact that a warmind will be a big part of dlc 2 and there is a Mida A.I. could mean something. While this is mostly speculation, it does still sort of match up. Maybe the Mida A.I. is a piece of Rasputin stolen by a rebel group who wanted to create a new colony on mars, and used it in their weapons.
Until the dlc comes out, we can only speculate, but who knows? Comment any critiques or theories of your own.

Yet I cannot help remember one enigma. A hybrid, elusive destroyer. This is the only mystery I have not solved. The only element unaccounted for. Even S'bhuth is no more, he saved his entire race, but in the end, frozen by despair, he joined the chaos he sought to evade. But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern. Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild. Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all becomes one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

if you mean the weapon then its already released

Mida is an easter egg for the game "Marathon". There are soo many Marathon easter eggs that lore wise, it could possibly take place in the same universe. Sorta like Warframe and Dark Sector.

[quote]1. There was a group of Mida Colonist on mars, likely on one of its poles (frozen water).[/quote] What does frozen water have to do with Golden-Age colonization of Mars?

MIDA is from the Marathon universe though; the group never existed in the Destiny timeline. The Multi and Mini Tools only got into this timeline through some sort of -blam!-ery, probably by the Vex.
-
Wasn’t the Mida made by a Martian rebellion? I might be thinking of something else but wasn’t it?
-
What about the Suros Regime?

Should we even care?
