**A popular fan theory is that the fireteam was of six, but throughout the raid; whether to the [[Oracle]]s, [[The Templar]], the [[Gorgon]]s, or even [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]] itself, three of the six were expunged from time, leaving only Kabr, Praedyth, and Pahanin remembered. | **A popular fan theory is that the fireteam was of six, but throughout the raid; whether to the [[Oracle]]s, [[The Templar]], the [[Gorgon]]s, or even [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]] itself, three of the six were expunged from time, leaving only Kabr, Praedyth, and Pahanin remembered. | ||
