<Startup>|<Post>|<Category:Lore> <INITIATE> So, part 1 was about the Leviathan... now it's going to be about the Darkness. This one was tricky, it involved a little more than a simple google search and I already mentioned in part one that I am not good at math, so I had someone else do it for me. To start, I am basing it off of this quote from Destinypedia. [quote]Gravity waves are generated when an object or event interacts with the curvature of spacetime in such a manner as to create changes in that curvature, which then ripple outward away from the event at the speed of light (or 186,000 miles per second) in a wave-like manner. In reference to the ISR report, the event which triggered the SKYSHOCK alert lasted 0.3 seconds, which suggests that whatever displaced local spacetime during the event measures some 55,800 miles in diameter (assuming a spherical shape), making it almost twice the size of the planet Uranus (31,518 miles) and a little over three-fourths the size of Saturn (72,367 miles).[/quote] https://www.destinypedia.com/Darkness So, I measure shit in kilometers to make it look bigger, so I converted it. Uranus is 50,724 km in diameter, which would make this "Dark Sphere" 89,000 km. The next thing I needed to do was turn the sphere into a Tetrahedron... again I'm not good at math so I had someone who was good at math do it. -10 bucks from me... my boredom knows no bounds. So, it ended up being around 1.5/6 times the length +/-. This would make the Mothership over twice the size of Uranus and pretty much as big as Saturn. That's a big -blam!-ing ship. So, how about the other ships? Well for that I had to find a Tetrahedral Ship close enough to the Mothership. I looked close enough and noticed that every smaller light on the Mothership was a Cruiser. https://i.imgur.com/sVrliip.jpg You have to look hard, it's around the lower middle of the ship. 3 of them are lined up on the side. So, with that, I compared it to some other planets in the system. Uranus, Earth, the Moon... and what I found was that a standard Cruiser was nearly as big as Earth if not bigger. This is another "Oh -blam!-" moment because there are dozens of these ships and the Traveler isn't even as big as Nessus. If anybody thought the Traveler waking it's ass up was a happy ending, you are dead wrong. No wonder the Speaker says we're not going to survive the -blam!-ing Darkness, look at this shit! WE. ARE. -blam!-ED. Thoughts? Imgur Album (in order): https://imgur.com/a/8SeqE <Lore Post>|<Completion>|<100%> <END SEQUENCE>
