READ NEW LORE BEFORE READING THIS, THIS HAS SPOILERS!
[spoiler]Alright I know this is a long shot but Destiny is Destiny...[/spoiler]
As we all know from the new Lore that the Nine are Dust, they exist but the don’t. They exist in a different plain but their fates are tied with us. They are spilt into 2 different faction, 5 of them play alchemy with the Cocytus gate. They are the ones who use emissaries such as Xûr and Orion and aid the Light but it’s the other 4 I wish to investigate.
The other four wish to create their own world in accordance to what the Nine picture by using dark dust. The lore states that they will be able to achieve this and therefore end their connection to the light.
So what does this have to do with the Vex?
The Vex origins are not explained but from the Book of Sorrows, we find that Crota cut a hole in space time causing the invasion of the Vex in Orxy’s Ascendent Realm. “The Vex also had records from an "Ecumene Gate" that held info about the Hive so they could enter our universe by other means and not directly through Crota” (Archival)
Now what I propose is the Vex is the creation of the nine in which they successfully create there own universe. To be clear the Nine become the the Vex...
Evidence:
The Vex are not hostile, they have not touched earth, they have not tried to attack us directly. Why, because the Creation of the Vex happens when the Nine succeeds in creating their own universe. The nine have not successfully done this so the Vex cannot attack the light without killing themselves.
The Nine have no concept of life...
They released Skolas to get the Queen to have the Guardians to help. The Nine as Skolas puts it [b][u]”The nine do not Understand Life and Death”[/u][/b] what they do understand in collective fact. If they were to successfully create a universe in which they create life. That life would be single minded, undying, and without the limitations of our world. There would be no Light, no dark, only fact and experimentation.
The Nine are Dust...
They have no idea how to create a large animal or species they have attempted with the Cocytus gate so it would make sense if they create a Radiolarian, a single cell that can act like a collective. That life is simple not complex.
In conclusion, I propose that the Vex are indeed the Nine...

When I read the lore about the Cocytus gate I thought about the don’t touch me gauntlets saying that they were derived by an unknown entity who stumbled through a portal.
