The Veil somewhat resembles a plant or jellyfish, with a bulbous, cup-shaped main body, branching root-like tendrils that can rapidly grow and generate an indestructible dome, and an opening on its underside that emits a bright white light. Its upper surface has a large circular opening, within which is what appears to be an energy field decorated with intricate blue and purple patterns. | The Veil somewhat resembles a plant or jellyfish, with a bulbous, cup-shaped main body, branching root-like tendrils that can rapidly grow and generate an indestructible dome, and an opening on its underside that emits a bright white light.

According to [[Rasputin]], the Veil is connected to | According to [[Rasputin]], the Veil is connected to [[The Traveler|the Traveler]], and upon entering close proximity to the Veil, [[Ghost]] mentions that it gives him a feeling which reminds him of the Traveler. However, it is elsewhere described as an "artifact of [[Darkness]]"<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/roving?highlight=artifact+of+darkness</ref>, and its presence in Neomuna suffuses the city with [[Strand]] energy - Strand being an elemental manifestation of the Darkness. Furthermore, the [[Radial Mast]] is stated by Ghost to resonate with [[Light]], and Ghost himself is later used by [[The Witness|the Witness]] to interface with the Veil. Collectively, these facts indicate that the Veil is closely tied to the Darkness, but that it may also have some relationship to the Light and the Traveler. | ||
According to audio logs left by [[Chioma Esi]], the Veil is determined to be a "web of consciousness" similar to the [[Nexus|Vex network]], but biological in nature rather than artificial.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=293gPhv_dks&list=PLS2hBTtCDufQ-h9RA3e-GZElbqNS9GyBP&index=11</ref> She also noted that the Veil registers as an "electromagnetic anomaly," possessing no mass while having a tangible physical surface; she once described it as "like a thesis statement to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Wigner_interpretation Von Neumann-Wigner Hypothesis],"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxf0LFYtNk</ref> seemingly suggesting that its nature points to an interaction between consciousness and quantum mechanics. | According to audio logs left by [[Chioma Esi]], the Veil is determined to be a "web of consciousness" similar to the [[Nexus|Vex network]], but biological in nature rather than artificial.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=293gPhv_dks&list=PLS2hBTtCDufQ-h9RA3e-GZElbqNS9GyBP&index=11</ref> She also noted that the Veil registers as an "electromagnetic anomaly," possessing no mass while having a tangible physical surface; she once described it as "like a thesis statement to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Wigner_interpretation Von Neumann-Wigner Hypothesis],"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxf0LFYtNk</ref> seemingly suggesting that its nature points to an interaction between consciousness and quantum mechanics. | ||

Despite | Though there were no more logs from Chioma Esi, Osiris managed to decrypt the data core from the [[Conceptual Mind]] the Guardian recovered after its defeat using Esi's algorithm. The data within reveals Vex's blueprints for their artificial Veil: [[The Black Heart]]. Despite making a connection with the Traveler at the time, its design was inherently flawed as it weakened it, and created static in the flow of their cosmic forces, thus not creating the link that The Witness desired. This indicates a possibility that both Traveller and the Veil were once part of a whole. | ||
Osiris speculated that when the beam from the Veil was fired at the Traveler, it linked a point inside of it. And whatever's inside the Traveler is where The Witness is. Thus, when the Traveler went dormant, its attention was directed inward and focused on the true threat. | Osiris speculated that when the beam from the Veil was fired at the Traveler, it linked to a point inside of it.
