<Hopefully, most of you have seen the end credits scene of D2 by now. Most have seen the physical form the Darkness has taken... and the fleet in its thrall. The true will call IT what it is, the Queen of Final Shapes... the Titanomach. The trolls will tell you it's more reskins. The uninformed will say it's the Hive or Savathun. The heretics (the nice way of saying... no I'm not telling what I meant) will say it is the Vex... but I know...
But do we know what lives in those ships? No... but we have ideas... and the hints towards it are... odd. There are a ton of questions about the Darkness that all spawn from a WIDE variety of things. From short, seemingly insignificant quotes, to actual concept art being a BIG RED FLAG.
So... why and how?
That concept art I'm referring to:
https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/415/032/large/mark-kolobaev-bungie-concept-artstation.jpg?1505983337
Is that a pyramid ship in the background?
If this is the Darkness, why does everything look so... HUMAN?
Why are there human hieroglyphs on the walls?
Why are there man-made maze patterns on the banners?
Is that the Traveler in the middle?
Why are those maze patterns in the Cradle on Io?
How did they get there?
The Darkness and the Light transformed the system. Those with the Light stayed the same. Those in the middle became the Awoken. Those in the outer system became the Jovians.
If the Darkness transformed the Jovians, then why does Xur, a Jovian, say the Nine did it?
How come none of the Jovian moons we've been to have ANY life on it besides Cabal, Hive, Vex, and Fallen?
Where are the Jovians?
Why does Light hurt Xur?
Why do the Nine consider the loss of Light a blessing?
What the -blam!- is the Third Spire?
What changed the Emissary?
What did the Nine find at the EDGE?
What is at the Corona Borealis constellation?
What EXACTLY killed all of the Sub-Warminds?
How did they die? Are they even dead?
What was the shadow that Osiris saw in the Dark Future?
Where does the Darkness reside in the Ascendant Plane?
How did the Darkness get a ship- no, MULTIPLE ships?
Why do Xur's eyes glow yellow?
What the -blam!- even is the Io Cradle?
Why are the Taken attracted to the Light like moths?
What is she running from?
The Subminds and even Rasputin fired a SHIT TON of weapons at the Darkness, how come nothing damaged it?
Do these ships have any other weapons besides one massive laser?
How big are these ships really?
Was the Darkness there sometimes to help the Hive?
If the Darkness can harness and even give the power to Take, what else can it do?
What are those shadow creatures in Cayde's Journal? Hallucinations? Real entities?
What the -blam!- is going on here?

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GLOWING EYES?
Are the Jovians the secret race? Are the shadow creatures? ARE THEY BOTH?
WHY IS EVERYTHING SO HUMAN AND HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN THIS WAY?>

Edited by Element Ninja: 5/20/2018 10:03:53 PMAs fun as it is to speculate, the fact is that the original creators of the Destiny universe have all or mostly all have left the Bungie company. What we will get will be but an inconsistent shadow of what was originally intended. It could be anything.
