Evidence of "Dark Traveler Theory" - Is the Traveler evil?
The Traveler supposedly saved our worlds, sacrificed itself only for our benefit. But is this really the truth? Do we have any infallible evidence to prove this? We, at Binary Star Cult, do have a theory. We believe the Traveler may not be as "holy" as it is made out to be. It may have acted only in selfish reasons, or even in malicious ones. It could have brought the Darkness to our doorstep intentionally, or it could even BE the Darkness. However, you may ask yourself, how can this theory be any more correct than the one that states the goodness of the Traveler?
The answer is: we have evidence. Or at least, we will. This is why this thread is being posted, to find, collect, and analyze the evidence of this theory. I will start it off with a piece of evidence below, from a ghost fragment. This thread is public. Anyone can put their facts or suspicions here. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. The smallest detail you may have could be the key to this entire theory.
Although we firmly believe in this theory, we do not want to be blind like some of the followers of the Traveler. If you have any piece of evidence against this theory, if you still believe the Traveler is pure, please, tell us. If we cannot challenge and refute your hypotheses, then how valid are ours?
Nevertheless, as promised, here is a bit of confirmation for the theory.

This Grimoire card is a brief passage from "Dreams of Alpha Lupi." It says:
[quote]"This has been such a long chase. This will be the place you will fight. Fight and win.
But do you really know why you go where you go, and where this journey is taking you?
The chase leads you where you need to be, you believe.
Unless...you are being pushed."[/quote]
The final line is the key to this evidence. It questions the whole nature of our quest to revive the Traveler. It is not a particularly strong piece of evidence, but we will find more. We will find out the truth about the Traveler. We will find out if I will ever stop speaking like some kind of holy priest giving a sermon. Please, contribute to this theory, not to support any faction or cult, but to support every player of Destiny by discovering the truth.

The Fallen are somewhat greedy and reckless and much of what they make seems to be kind of ad hoc (destiny 2 has a mission where they are making an explosive to kill the hive and your ghost comments about how sloppy it is) once uplifted they continued this way and divided into competitive houses so the traveller abandoned them. Being the way they are they won't stop until they get it back or get as many pieces as possible back. The Cabal once uplifted destroyed and conquered throughout the galaxy and this is why the Traveller abandoned them. They're mentality of conquest has them follow the traveller to use it again, and to conquer any new systems it finds. The Vex are machines made by an uplifted race not unlike the War Minds or the Exo except something went wrong and they wiped out their creators or once the Traveller left their creators race they were sent to pursue it for them. The Hive is made mention of coming from a different dimension and crossed into ours when barriers between the 2 weakened or overlapped can't 100% remember but that may have happened as a result of an uplifted races reckless experimentation with new tech destroying them when the hive poured into their world and the Hive now wanting to corrupt the power of the traveller for their own use
