<So I'm working on something relating to the Nine, but I stumbled across the lore tab for Kabr's Glass Aegis, one of the best looking ships in the game. I read through what could only be described at the time as Vexual Gibberish, and managed to pick some things out. Now let's break it apart piece by piece... shall we?
[quote]while joined( Glass, Sky )[/quote]
Glass may refer to the Vex, considering that the Glass Throne and various other glass structures appear to be made from hardened Radiolarian Fluid... or the Vex.
Sky may refer to the Traveler and the Light. It wouldn't be the first time. After all, the Sky was used to refer to the Traveler by the Worm Gods, Hive, and the Leviathan of Fundament (not to be confused with Calus's Grand Leviathan).
[quote]case Past:
return( i m p o s s i b l e )
// grazing, rocked, major, distilled.[/quote]
Not quite sure, definitely one of the harder parts to look at. Perhaps one cannot return to the past. Or, more specifically, one cannot return to the past while Light and Vex are joined.
The bottom few words may refer to what happened to Mercury in that order. Grass was everywhere, it was known as a Garden World for a reason (grazing). The Vex came destabilized it (rocked) to the point where the Traveler's work was undone (major). They then removed every aspect the Traveler and even Mercury had (the hollowing of Mercury's core/distilled?).
[quote]case Present:
return( v e s t i g i a l )
// vault, aegis, awakened, infinite.[/quote]
Not as powerful or maybe a weaker version of what was in the past? Not sure what this means.
The bottom text I can understand to some degree. The Aegis is in the Vault of Glass. We used it. The Vex stirred. The Infinite Forest was used more and more after the Traveler's Awakening. Let's not also forget that the Aegis is a permanent addition to the Vault of Glass, INFINITE so to say...
[quote]case Future:
// return( i n e v i t a b l e )
// light, truth, dark.[/quote]
Something, or someone is going to return in the future. Specifically at a point where the Darkness and the Light are at war... again. Since this is Kabr talking, it may be him. Or, also likely, whatever Directive Mind there is...
[quote]if( t h e w a r d e n s s e e t h e BRIGHT a s d e a t h ) &&
( t h e THINKERS e q u a t e BLACK w i t h e n d ) then[/quote]
This can be interpreted in a few different ways. Some may saw that the Wardens are Guardians and the Thinkers are another force out there... maybe the Nine. However, I think differently.
Perhaps they refer to Vex wardens and thinkers. The Vex aren't only scared of the Light. They are scared of the Darkness. Both the Dark Future after the DEATH of Panoptes and the Blighted Future after the DEATH of the Heart of the Black Garden are ruled by the Deep. The BLACK is the Darkness... and it is the end of the Vex. The Light causes death to the Vex. So many Minds have been lost to the Guardians and not nearly enough known Minds lost to the Hive or any other species. Not to mention that Guardians die all the time but come back moments later.

Confirmation/acknowledgement
[quote]their/our/their desire is not malevolent it is survival she is/was/is wrong there is no evil there is no despise there is no SEPARATION there is harmony inside if you/you/you allow it[/quote]
Their - Vex
Our - Kabr... newly added to the Vex Collective
They are one now. The desire of the Vex Collective is not malevolent (evil) and is based on survival (the Dark Future (Panoptes era) was made with no life, Light, or Darkness because they all do damage to the Vex).
She - The Stranger. Why or how?
"The Vex. An evil so dark it despises other evil."
WRONG
Nothing is truly evil, not even the Vex. They don't despise. They want to improve. They want to adapt. They want to rule. They want your binary shit (inb4 sjw).
There is harmony... join the Collective today... give me your 1s and 0s.
[quote]it was/was/was not done i/i speak again and was wrong i am still him and i am now them and THAT IS FUTURE^V^V[/quote]
A [CERTAIN EVENT] is not complete. Kabr will return. He was wrong. He said he would no longer be Kabr, but he is. Similar to how Captain Jacobson is, in a way, still Jacobson.
It's assimilation in the purest. [b]Were you me?[/b] Yes and no. You are still you, but you are also them. They are you. You are you, you are them, they are you. THERE IS NO SEPARATION. THERE IS HARMONY. YOU ARE THEM AND THEY ARE YOU.
You are you
I am you
You are me
I am them
They are you
You are them...
[i]Were you me?[/i]~

“Who am I?” “You are vex. I am vex.” “We are vex.” “You made the garden, and you must tend to it.” “The garden is beautiful. I will care for it.” “Then we must fight.” “Why?” “To protect the gardens from the gods and the dead. We are the only living, and we must survive.” “So we must fight to be alone?” “As a god.” “It’s inevitable. We must be alone. Forever.” “And even after that.”

The lore tab for the Glass Aegis is fascinating. I was actually contemplating making a post on it myself. Vex lore is the best man. If all of this adds up, the lore tab seems to heavily imply that Kabr has become one with the Vex, and that he might return. And holy shit, if the prospect of potentially fighting a fully Vexified Light-wielding Guardian, especially the legendary Kabr, isn’t both awesome and frightening.

Aaaaaaaand it’s retconned

The real question is who wrote this lore? Joe Staten, Christopher Barret, or that comic book writer... [spoiler]Bois(gails) we know it ain't the comic book writer : D[/spoiler] [spoiler]Still vex lore be the besto lore along with book of sorrows...[/spoiler]

My only question is, why is return(inevitable) commented out?
-
There’s not enough Vex lore and I’m sad about it...
-
Some nice points.

I can do it. [spoiler]There shall come a time when one who has the heart of a Kilrathi, but is not Kilrathi born, shall rain cleansing fire down upon us. And Kn'thrak, a time of great darkness, shall embrace us. Death itself shall pour forth, obscuring the stars in a veil of darkness. Theirs is the claw that tears flesh from bone. Theirs is the poisoned fang. Their numbers shall rend the universe barren and crush the breath from our clans. We shall be bathed in our own blood and rotted flesh shall be our fare. With a deafening thunder shall the dark age begin. [/spoiler]

Wtf ever happened to Jacobson? And why are there no other good Vex who remember their past?
-
It’s all folklore. Who cares

The way he says case past/present/future makes me think he’s talking about a specific timeline. And the way it says the future is inevitable and the past is impossible indicates to me that the vex really don’t time traveler so much as wait for important events and then they change the outcomes to whatever they want.
