'''The Deep Stone Crypt''' is an infamous subroutine that seeded the first [[Exo]] consciousness. Some Exo experience flashbacks of this subroutine in the form of a dream. In the dream, a tower lies on a black plain. Some make it to the tower in peace, while others are forced to slay an army of everyone they have met in order to reach it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Console, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Legends|Ghost Fragment: Legends]]''</ref> [[Cayde's Treasure Island Book]] and a post-death message by [[Cayde-6]] intended for [[Petra Venj]] implies that the Crypt may be located on Enceladus, a moon of [[Saturn]].<ref name="Cayde anecdote">'''[[Cayde's Treasure Island Book]]''', ''Page 4'' ''"Saturn.

The Deep may also be refering to the [[Darkness]], while Stone Crypt may suggest that it is hidden, dead or dormant in stone or somthing similar.

==Trivia==
*The way in which Exos may reach the tower peacefully resembles somewhat the ancient Roman concepts of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium#Modern_influence Elysium Fields]. 
*The '[http://data.whicdn.com/images/62501717/large.jpg dream]' the android NS-5 Sonny experienced in the 2004 movie ''[[wikipedia:I, Robot (film)|I, Robot]]'' bears similar resemblance to the manner in which the Deep Stone Crypt is described in ''[[Destiny]]''. Bungie may have drawn inspiration from this during development.
*The tower is mentioned by [[Ana Bray]] in one of her quotes, where she states that she knows as little about the [[House Bray|Bray]] family as the Guardians do about Deep Stone Crypt.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Anastasia Bray]]: [[Anastasia_Bray#Quotes|"But I'm just in the dark as you are on the Deep Stone Crypt"]]''</ref>
*[[Cayde-6]] also references "The Long Slow Whisper," which may be related to either the subroutine of The Deep Stone Crypt, or the location of The Deep Stone Crypt on [[Enceladus]].
