During humanity's [[Golden Age]], Vex structures were found on [[Venus]] dating back to a few billion years before humanity's existence.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ishtar Collective (mission)|Ishtar Collective]]''</ref> Ishtar researchers suspected that the Vex ruins came from an alternate Venus and came into being when the Traveler transformed Venus into a habitable world.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Vex_3|Ghost Fragment: Vex 4]]''</ref> | |||
The Collective also recovered a live specimen of the Vex and discovered that it had created an internal simulation of themselves, accurately predicting their every move. To Collective researchers, this ability raised profound philosophical quandaries about the nature of reality. Eventually the researchers were driven near to the point of madness when they discovered the Vex had simulations of themselves and perfectly predicted their every action, as they started to wonder if they themselves were just Vex simulations, so they decided to bring in a [[Warmind]] to intervene on their behalf. Warminds were many orders of magnitude more complex than humans, and it was believed that the Vex would be unable to simulate them; thus, the Warmind's presence and actions would be a sufficiently chaotic variable to allow the researchers to discern which universe was real and disrupt the simulation.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]:, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Vex|Ghost Fragment: Vex]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Vex_2|Ghost Fragment: Vex 2]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Vex_3|Ghost Fragment: Vex 3]]''</ref> | |||
The Vex first appeared on Mercury during the Golden Age as well, shortly after the Traveler terraformed the planet into a garden world. [[Panoptes, Infinite 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. | |||
