Are the Nessus Vex Developing Individuality?

I had considered making this post the previous week when I heard a voice line where Failsafe mentioned individual Vex units seemed to be communicating with each other. But I completed this week's storyline, and the Nessus Vex are up to all sorts of strange behavior. Vex units breaking formation. A trio of Minotaurs staggering shields in combat like Titans and going straight for a Hunter's Ghost when they appeared to resurrect her. Seemingly building sandcastles. A Vex Hobgoblin excitedly waving at a Guardian (before a Titan blew it to smithereens). A Hobgoblin running when it spots a Guardian. A Vex Minotaur breaking its own radiolaria container to dump its contents into the radiolaria after being damaged. Another thing the entry made clear, which is true in gameplay but something I didn't notice before, was that only the Nessus Vex have the energy collars on them. The Precursor Vex you see throughout Echoes activities, on the other hand, lacked the collars. In fact, other Vex showed up and wiped out the collared ones, ripped out the radiolaria cores, and were going to go back through a portal with them. Before a Titan Thundercrashed them. So far, the Echo that crashlanded on Nessus seems to be causing drastic changes to the Vex residing there, and the rest of the Vex Collective seem to be trying to get things under control. Whether this new, potential individuality is due to the Echo fragment, or a product of our mysterious figure from the trailer harnessing the Echo to gain control of the Vex, we'll just have to wait and see.

  • Well they are a microbial lifeform of many minds working in unison so it's not that far out that one can think for it's self. And maybe do something against the collective which begs the question what happens to the robot body if all the vex controlling it can't agree on something. If that happens we could see a massive shift in some sub groups of vex and maybe a shift in the overall vex of which we haven't seen yet. Something to remember to is we have only faced a very small fraction of what the vex can do they can create matter build around stars and perfectly simulate reality to the point the line between simulation and real becomes near non existent. If the echo drastically alters the overall vex collective it could splinter their race to the point they could have a civil war or lose the ability to operate a lot of technology like their prediction engines. Im assuming to operate a prediction engine like the mercury one requires a lot of vex working in unison just for it to run safely and effectively. Can't remember where it is but there is a lore entry where the vex simulated fundermant and it was so dangerous they had to stop which shows just how bad it is if they can't maintain safety protocols. And than the forge star Clovis found if the vex fought eachother over that it would be utter chaos. The echo in the hands of the vex unchecked is near literally a witness level problem. And if the vex successfully simulate it well we boned hard one is causing major issues.
