After the events of [[The Collapse]], the [[Traveler]] cut itself into a tiny pieces and sent them out into the world. The Third Speaker attracted one of those pieces which he thought was a surveillance drone, but on closer look saw something organic and natural which was nothing like their old technology. Eventually they called them [[Ghost]]s as some were childlike, while others were apathetic and world-weary.

The Speaker would attract many Ghosts who follow him around questioning how the Traveler was like before the Collapse and what the Traveler told him. He suspects that deep with core they still remember being whole with the Traveler. The Speaker also reflect on all the dreams he can still remember, as he hasn't dreamed since the Collapse and felt like being in a dream state again.<ref name="Wake"/>

He continues his travel through the wilderness; slowly being reclaimed by nature, to his reach a settlement where resources are scarce and land so poisoned crops won't grow. The Speaker describes the harsh conditions of human living as they now protect themselves and rarely venture out at night as Wolves prey on their livestock and Bears wander around their compound.

{{quote|Why did the Great Machine leave us?|Dreg to The Fourth Speaker}}
As the [[Fallen]] began their siege against [[Earth]] to reclaim the [[Traveler]], the Fourth Speaker was taken captive by a group of Fallen. The Speaker found it disparaging to have been caught by a [[Dreg]] and was dragged to a cave miles away from his camp. Inside the cave, the three Dregs would huddle around the Speaker as he looked around for signs of a [[Kell]] or [[Archon]]. He looked at them perplexed, wondering if they did something weren’t suppose to do as the Dreg seemed uncertain and nervous.<ref name="Long">'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] PlayStation 4, [[Lore:Constellations#Longing|Longing]]''</ref>

One of the Dregs points a [[Arc]] spear at him, while the other watches and the Dreg who captured the Speaker fidgets with a mask. To the surprise of the Speaker, the Dreg puts on the mask and speaks to him with a translator by addressing him as the "mouth of the Great Machine". The Speaker was astounded that a Dreg was capable of a feat as he expected high ranking Fallen and [[Risen]] to know each others language as they held negotiations that often turned brutal.<ref name="Long"/>

The Dreg addresses him again and the Speaker answers by saying he was. The Dreg attempts to translate what the Speaker said and nods when he understood him. The Dreg then asks the Speaker to share the words of the Traveller, only for the Speaker to remain silent as he feared his death.

The other Dregs watch eagerly with their expressive faces as one of the Dreg points his spear down. Not discouraged by his silence, the masked Dreg asks with a hopeful tone on why the Great Machine abandoned them. As the Speaker stares back, his sense of fear dissipates as he felt a sense of the Fallen grief lost in the chaos. The Speaker responds by saying he doesn’t know to the disappointment of the Dregs. The Speaker and his captives sit in silence in the cave for a long time with a great sense of sorrow.<ref name="Long"/>

While all previous Speakers recollected their ability to dream, the Sixth Speaker lacked this quality, or rather was unable to remember if he dreamed at all. Following [[The Collapse]], the previous Speakers scattered around the world with refugees.<ref name="Sing">'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] PlayStation 4, [[Lore:Constellations#Singing|Singing]]''</ref>

The Sixth Speaker was mentored by another unknown Speaker and never met another individual with that title in his life. Usually the post was reserved to those who were able to hear [[The Traveler]] through their strange lucid dreams which blinds them in white light and give them painful headaches.

His mentor however was unable to able teach the Speaker about the dreams, rather teach him through hypotheticals. The Speaker had to imagine what the dreams were like and speculate when the Traveler will awake.<ref name="Sing"/>

Sadly his mentor was stricken with illness and died as a result, leaving the Sixth Speaker as his replacement who thought he was unfit to take the role. He believed his teachings were imperfect and secondhand since his mentor lived to see when the Traveler was awake. To change this, the Speaker worked on a secret project and gathered scraps of metal. He then  pieced them together with strange technology and calibrated it to his needs.

The Speaker notes how astrophysicists of the past recorded sounds from the planets and turned them into music and that The Traveler also made sounds. The Speaker built a mask to amplify this as previous Speakers were able listen to the Traveler's Song in the form of dreams. As he wears the mask, he is finally able to dream for the first time.<ref name="Sing"/>
