 ==Overview==
-To create their Machine worlds, the Vex begin by digging deep into the planet's core where a [[Nexus|world-eating machine]] converts the planet into another link in their intergalactic chain. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes#The Nexus|The Nexus]]''</ref> A [[Pyramidion]] is then constructed close to the surface to continue the process. This process typically only takes a matter of days as Mercury was transformed unnervingly fast during the [[Collapse]] but for reasons unknown, the transformation of Venus was slowed until hundreds of years later. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Eye of a Gate Lord]]''</ref> Some believe that the Vex have structures in every celestial object.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#The_Vex|The Vex]]''</ref> In the process, most of the planet's matter, down to its molecular structure, is converted into Vex material and [[Radiolaria]].
+To create a Machine World, the Vex delve deep into a celestial body's core, where a [[Nexus]] begins to convert the planet. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes#The Nexus|The Nexus]]''</ref> A [[Pyramidion]] is then constructed closer to the surface to continue the process. Eventually, the majority of the celestial body's matter is reconstituted on a molecular level into Vex architecture, machinery, and [[Radiolaria]].
+Mercury and [[Nessus]] are the only known Machine Worlds in the Sol System, with the former serving as a massive [[Infinite Forest|prediction engine]] that generates trillions of simulated realities, and the latter serving as an archive for defunct digital data the Vex no longer have any use for.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Shell]]''</ref> Venus, Io, Mars, and Europa have also all undergone varying levels of conversion; [[Io]]'s conversion is believed to have been stopped, or at least delayed due the efforts of [[The Guardian]] and quite possibly the [[The Ionian Pyramid|Ionian Pyramid]] as well, and the same could be said for [[Mars]] with the arrival of the [[Red Legion]] decimating the [[Virgo Prohibition]]. [[Venus]]'s conversion status is currently unknown.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Eye of a Gate Lord]]''</ref>
-Mercury and [[Nessus]] are the only known Machine Worlds in the Sol System; the former serving as a massive [[Infinite Forest|prediction engine]] for trillions of simulated realities for the Vex to test and the latter serving as an archive for defunct digital data the Vex no longer have need of.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Shell]]''</ref>
-[[Io]]'s conversion is believed to have been stopped, or at least delayed due the efforts of [[The Guardian]] and quite possibly the [[The Ionian Pyramid|Ionian Pyramid]] as well, and the same could be said for [[Mars]] with the arrival of the [[Red Legion]] decimating the [[Virgo Prohibition]]. [[Venus]]'s conversion status is unknown, though it may be at risk due to the Red Legion's arrival on that world.
