Little disclaimer, I am not claiming to be the first person who found this, I just want to make it better known.
Now the card I am talking about is Exo 2. The spark notes version of the card is there is an unnamed Exo Guardian who is killing himself to recover memories from his past. While he is dead he has visions. What was unintelligible philosophy stuff actually makes sense with the reveal of Destiny 2. When you read this think about the fall of the Last City[quote]Okay.

We are falling into the world. Everyone is on fire. There's a ship above us but it's coming apart just like a flower, alloy and fusion flash, pierced through and through -
The voice says Atmospheric interface. Trajectory nominal. Rabid two three you are outside the window. (I think I am the voice)
I can see the whole earth below me and the sky we are falling out of is black without stars.[/quote] Other than the obvious destruction going on pointing to perhaps the Last City (or really any other battle on Earth) for me what screams "fall of the Last Safe City" is the ship flying above our narrator, it "comes apart just like a flower". This sounds very unusual and could perfectly describe the Traveler Supressor flying over the last City as it opens up to contain the Traveler. Our Exo friend is trying to escape this, and it appears that he succeeds when he reaches the ends of our atmosphere.
So assuming this is indeed referring to the future fall of the City and not the Exo's memory, then the next part becomes more unusual. [quote]Ghost, shoot me again.

We are on the ice. This is elsewhere and elsewhen. There is a mighty aurora and it is reflected in the ice so I walk between two fires although the one below is cracked and full of corpses. I have and am a weapon.
Up in the sky there is a hole in Jupiter and it tears at me when I look at it. It tears at me. It is hungry. Maybe the hole is not in Jupiter but in me.

If this is in Destiny 2 still, it has to be on a moon of Jupiter, most likely Io since it is the only moon of Jupiter we will be going to in Destiny 2. However the reference to ice implies Europa and this Exo doesn't need to go to where we do in Destiny 2.
Perhaps we will find out what this means on September 6. Perhaps I am wrong and this isn't the future but it is indeed this Exo's past. Only time will really tell.
[spoiler]As fun as my theory is, it is, however, very likely this is just a memory of the Collapse where the "flower" is an explosion. Whether it is to our benefit or not, Bungie had to make a lot of these very ambiguous in the writing of them.[/spoiler]

Plus that whole three two part is the number ghost screams over comms to the tower before discovering it's fate

I have told someone this before. The hole in jupiter can also mean its ring. As in taken king .

Edited by DoC_McStuffins__: 7/16/2017 9:52:18 PMHow did we not know the cabal was coming? FFS cayde spells it out for us at the end of the shield brothers strike. "Somewhere the cabal are getting news that they have no other high ranking officers in this sector" What did you think was going to happen? We did this to ourselves lol.
-
Grimoire wasn't even needed to know Destiny 2 was gonna happen. Remember Shield Brothers? After the strike, isn't there a dialogue exchange where the Cabal were calling for a full-invasion?

Looking way into things

This is one of the Exodus colony ships (emergency) landing during the collapse, with another exploding nearby. These are the very same SIVA constructed ships that were from the Cosmodrome, and built by Rasputin. Each ship had an AI on board to control the SIVA, however each AI feared that without Rasputin, the SIVA would break free. Many of these ships have been revealed. Exodus blue, the one stranded in the cosmodrome and used as a crucible map. Exodus Red, the one of grimiore cards, and Exodus Black whose pic was recently revealed to be crashed on the ruins of Nessus. For more info on the Exodus Project - check out Myelin's recent lore video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRHab-e0Ep8 - It does a pretty good job explaining the ships, SIVA, and the collapse.

Wait...what?

Edited by Jezrelm: 7/17/2017 10:22:18 PMIt's a guardian dreaming about his past life, he was in an Exodus ship when it gets shut down. The remember grimore card says that it's common for guardians to dream about their past lives.

I'm not sure its Grimoire. Sounds more like Radiohead lyrics to me.

Exos story is offically done. Only for now hopefully.

People still trying to pull a story out of D1?

You know I was in the reef just chilling a couple days ago and I heard one of the awoken guards say something about blips on the radar but she dismissed it as asteroids maybe it's the cabal

I have never read a grimoire card or watched the cut scenes in destiny 😌

Edited by zNapSack: 7/17/2017 1:35:21 AMWhile reading it I too surmised what you alluded to in the spoiler and find that more probable as well. That said, it shouldn't come as a surprise if we learn more about that event during the D2 story. The Grimoire cards in D1 can be rather cryptic, by design, which allows them to expound on things at a later date with less risk of violating canon. And they almost certainly have a long term outline of the story and fill in the rest as they go while also taking into account player comment and suggestions as we've already seen.
-
This can't be the exo or the colony ships. At least for the second one. The ai on colony ships don't need ghosts and the stranger wasn't born from light. The first one goes more in line with a colony ship from the golden age.
-
While an interesting concept, I find it unlikely. It's not possible to have memories of the future. What I find more likely, is that this was an Exo trying to flee the system during the events of the collapse.
-
To me this card sounds more like the Collapse than the Red War. Think about it. We see from the trailers that nobody knew the Cabal were coming. And by the time we knew they were here, they had descended upon the City already. There would be no possibility of aerial escape, much less getting out of the atmosphere. We scattered remember? We are the Last of Humanity and we are centralised in one City. We don't have the kind of fleet to evacuate Earth against a force like the Cabal on such immediate notice. That's why we run into the EDZ. Closest place to seek refuge and launch a counter to get our home back. The simile of the flower is used to describe a ship; how it explodes into flames. I would not think that the Cabal would use a combustible shield to capture the Traveler. Considering during the Golden Age, we spread out through the system, I would imagine that the imagery on Jupiter is also about the Collapse.

First. Bastards are who did it.

Thats crazy to think about it like this. The [quote]Everyone is on fire. There's a ship above us but it's coming apart just like a flower, alloy and fusion flash, pierced through and through -[/quote] and [quote]I can see the whole earth below me and the sky we are falling out of is black without stars.[/quote] Makes me want to read through all the Grimoire cards now thanks!
