According to the allegorical story recounted in the Lore Book ''[[Lore:Unveiling|Unveiling]]'', the Vex originated as patterns in the "[[flower game]]" played by two beings known as the [[Light|Gardener]] and [[Darkness|Winnower]] in a primordial "[[garden]]" that existed prior to the creation of the known universe. Every instance of the flower game would end with a single, self-sustaining pattern emerging and dominating the entire grid of flowers. This was pleasing to the Winnower but irritating to the Gardener, who desired that the game produce endless novel patterns instead.{{citation needed}} | |||
When the | When the Gardener and Winnower began to war with one another, initiating the beginning of the universe, the patterns from the flower game escaped into it. In the initial hot state of the universe the abstract patterns existed as quantum fluctuations, before eventually creating a more stable substrate for themselves in the briny seas of the first worlds to form in the universe, the radiolaria. This was the origin of the Vex as they would later come to be known, and from this point forward they were driven to once more totally dominate the reality they found themselves in, though operating on "outdated" rules that did not account for the [[paracausality|paracausal]] powers of the Darkness or the Light. | ||
The rest of the Vex's evolutionary history is a matter of speculation, but [[Clovis Bray I]] hypothesized some likely intermediate steps during his studies of the Vex structures around [[2082 Volantis]]. The Vex developed in extremely high energy environments and competition and predation were not optimal strategies. Instead, the group signalling between the radiolaria formed the basis for the evolution of a [[wikipedia:Swarm intelligence|swarm intelligence]]. The radiolaria developed crude armor, possibly hydrogel or silica plating to shield themselves from intense cosmic radiation, allowing them to remain close enough to the surface to directly feed off this plentiful energy source. From here, the Vex constructed and developed ever more complex structures, storing the information in the patterns of the radiolaria colonies themselves. Their microscopic nature allowed the Vex intelligence to deduce and experiment with quantum and high energy physics early, while the radiolaria themselves became, in essence, microscopic tool users. | The rest of the Vex's evolutionary history is a matter of speculation, but [[Clovis Bray I]] hypothesized some likely intermediate steps during his studies of the Vex structures around [[2082 Volantis]].

The Vex first appeared on Mercury during the Golden Age as well, shortly after the Traveler terraformed the planet into a garden world. [[Dendron, Root Mind]] was created following the Vex's arrival, and began converting the planet into a [[Machine World]] that would house the "reality engine" known as the [[Infinite Forest]] within its core. | The Vex first appeared on Mercury during the Golden Age as well, shortly after the Traveler terraformed the planet into a garden world.

At some point, Clovis Bray I, the patriarch of the [[House Bray|Bray]] family and founder of the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray corporation]], arranged for a Vex to be stolen from the Ishtar Collective and transported to his research site on [[Europa]]. This Vex then built a gate leading from Europa to 2082 Volantis, a blue giant star system in which the star had been surrounded by Vex megastructures. Clovis I's ensuing research into Vex radiolarian fluid and the mysterious paracausal power he called "[[Darkness|Clarity]]" resulted in a breakthrough in the development of [[Exos|exominds]]. | At some point, Clovis Bray I, the patriarch of the [[House Bray|Bray]] family and founder of the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray corporation]], arranged for a Vex to be stolen from the Ishtar Collective and transported to his research site on [[Europa]].

Bray also oversaw the creation of an AI based on Vex technology on [[Vesper Station]] in orbit around Europa, which was quarantined after it became hostile; centuries after the Collapse, it would be released when debris from the destroyed Morning Star station impacted Vesper Station and allowed the AI to seize control of a [[Fallen]] [[Exo]] body, becoming the [[The Corrupted Puppeteer|Corrupted Puppeteer]]. | ||
During or before the [[Collapse]], the colony ship [[Exodus Black]] left Earth on a trajectory out of the solar system. It was intercepted, however, by the planetoid known as [[Nessus]], which had become fully converted into a Vex Machine World and had left its usual orbital patterns. The entire crew of the Exodus Black was captured or killed, with some being kept alive by the Vex for a time for experimentation and analysis. | During or before the [[Collapse]], the colony ship [[Exodus Black]] left Earth on a trajectory out of the solar system.

With [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath's]] banishment from her [[Black Terrace|throne world]] and the Vanguard discovering a way to enter the portal inside the Traveler, the Witness responds by sending the Sol Divisive to invade the Dreaming City. The Guardians arrives at the Keep of Voices and defeats the Vex guarding Riven's remains, with the Techeuns awakening her spirit. When the first of Riven's eggs was pulled out of the Ley Lines and into her lair, the Sol Divisive would send the [[Aspirational Construct]], a powerful Hydra that serves as the Witness's eyes and ears to retrieve it. However they come into conflict with the Guardian who is sent into the lair to secure the egg. Despite being empowered with a core of Darkness, the Aspirational Construct is destroyed, allowing the egg to fall into the Guardian's hands. | With [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath's]] banishment from her [[Black Terrace|throne world]] and the Vanguard discovering a way to enter the portal inside the Traveler, the Witness responds by sending the Sol Divisive to invade the Dreaming City.

When more eggs continued to be secured by the Guardian, the Sol Divisive would respond by creating [[Akardon, Pitiless Mind]] to simulate the Techeuns and deploy Oracles from the Vault of Glass into Riven's Lair. The Oracles would attempt to mimic resonance, an aspect of the Darkness utilized by the Witness and its Disciples. Arriving at Riven's Lair to secure the next egg, the Guardian slays a powerful Taken Ogre imprisoned by the Vex and discover the Oracle presence.

One such Echo landed on Nessus, causing the Vex to become curious and sought to claim the Echo, as it began emitting Light and Dark energies. Osiris and Saint-14 became alarmed by the Vex's renewed activity on Nessus, sending in the Guardian to investigate the Echo and to reestablish contact with Failsafe. As the Guardian worked in searching for the Echo and meeting with Failsafe again, they notice the Vex bearing altered chassis' and a strong surge of radiolaria throughout Nessus. After the Guardian succeeded in securing the Echo, Failsafe was able to clarify that the Vex are following the directive of a distinct "voice" but who that is and for what purpose remains unknown. Further, Failsafe was able to identify that since the Echo landed, Nessus was being changed on a geological and molecular level. Nonetheless, Osiris and Saint began organizing the Guardians into conducting various experiments in gaining more information on the Vex's actions on Nessus and in studying the Echo. | ||
After helping Failsafe gathering more intel on Nessus's condition, learning that the planetoid is undergoing a metamorphosis or evolution of sorts, the Guardians are alerted by Osiris, informing them that he had lost all contact with Saint-14 and asking them to locate him. Ikora becomes involved at this point, convincing him to stay at the H.E.L.M. as she oversees the Guardians' efforts in locating Saint, to which the former Lightbearer begrudgingly complies. Tracking Saint-14's last known location, to the [[Well of Flame]], an area that had been diluted of Radiolaria before encountering [[Lydrion, Symphonic Mind]]. The Vex Mind retreats after clashing with the Guardian, which Ikora notes is a change in the Vex's usual tactics. Nonetheless, the Guardians chase Lydrion through a cave system, making radio contact with Saint-14 but the Titan doesn't respond to them, only murmuring that he is a "copy" or a "lie". After a struggle, the Guardians destroy Lydrion before finding Saint-14 under a Ward of Dawn, surrounded by the new Vex and bearing their chest chassis. The Vex flee as the Guardian arrives but Saint-14 still appears in a daze. Ikora herself arrives and gets Saint-14 to break whatever was holding his mind, destroying the chassis and getting him to remember Osiris. The Titan remains conflicted on what just happened, leading Ikora to take Saint-14 back to the H.E.L.M., thanking the Guardian in rescuing him. | |||
Back at the H.E.L.M., Saint-14 explains what had happened, that a voice spoke to him, a "Conductor", of a timeline free of falsehoods and how his own life, including his love for Osiris was a lie. Ikora and Osiris console Saint-14, assuring him that he is no lie, that he is real. Though comforted by their words, Saint-14 remained worried about the Conductor's words, asking for some time alone to process the situation. Ikora and Osiris become worried about Saint-14's condition and how their may perhaps be a new leader of the Vex, who is preparing something big on Nessus. | |||
After further research in the Vex's efforts on Nessus, Failsafe and Ikora notice more radiolaria near the Well of Flame has been diverted to a deeper location, asking the Guardian to venture down the caverns once more and locate the source. As the Guardians proceed through the caverns, they encountered a large crew of Dusk Fallen mercenaries led by [[Kalliks, Baron of House Dusk]], with Ikora theorizing that the House of Dusk is looking to take control over the Echo for their own purposes. Following Kalliks to the Aquaducts, the Guardians clash with the Dusk Baron as he captured a Vex Hydra, [[Hypolydron, Captive Mind]], slaying both. Following this, Ikora and Failsafe have the Guardian descend deeper into the Aquaducts to hopefully find the source of the Radiolaria being diverted. Encountering legions of Sol Primaeval Vex and a force of Shadow Legion troops, the Guardians located the Vex mind in command of the Radiolaria flow, [[Kamarian, Radial Overseer]] and slay it, slowing the Conductor's plans but what said plans are remain unknown though Ikora speculates that the massive amounts of Radiolaria that the Conductor had diluted Nessus could compel other Vex collectives to its command. Despite the Guardians' success in the field, Saint-14 remains deeply conflicted regarding the Conductor's words of him being a "copy of a copy", making him question everything, even his relationship with Osiris. | |||
