This is one of those entries that deserve an animated short. The struggle of the Qugu and Te'Qal and how everything ended made me oddly emotional for some reason. Not gonna spoil anything in the main body here, if you haven't read it, definitely give it a read. Minor spoiler warning below though.
[spoiler]The Witness was definitely threatened by the Qugu's evolution and darkness mastery to have 🐔 blocked their fight against the Hive. If the Pyramid didnt intervene and they discovered Resonance sooner, there would be no Oryx or Savathun. MF's killed a Pyramid with a tiny fleet of ships AND earned the Witnesses respect[/spoiler]

I just don’t understand why Bungie would establish that the Echoes are partially the memories of others subsumed by the Witness and build this entire story with the Qugu and Te’Qal only for it to be utterly meaningless within the in-game narrative of the Episode outside of a single radio message. My hope is that MAYBE this will be leveraged better with Revenant and the Echo Fikrul has found, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
