[[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] attempted to leverage Vex time-travel technology to pull the entire [[House of Wolves]] through time from the past to the present.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/queens-ransom#variks]</ref> However, according to Sister [[Faora]] of the [[Cult of Osiris]], the Vex may not be capable of "time travel" as is commonly understood; if they were, she claims, neither the Guardians or any other obstacles to the Vex would still exist.<ref>http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/kairos-function-boots?highlight=Kairos</ref> | ||
While hacking into a major Vex terminal, the A.I. [[Failsafe]] was captured by the Vex in the network; by the time the Guardian retrieved her, she explained that a decade had passed inside the network despite only a few minutes passing outside as time works differently between the two. <ref>https://www.destinypedia.com/Hack_the_Planet</ref> On Nessus, the Vex have apparently also engaged in spacetime engineering and "folded" the dimensions of normal spacetime, adding 6 new dimensions to the 4 dimensions of the spacetime continuum and making past and future interchangeable from the present moment on the planetoid.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/exodus-down?highlight=Nessus</ref> Certain Vex Minotaurs on Nessus and in the Infinite Forest are equipped with "Temporal Shielding," which will retroactively eliminate projectiles as if they were never fired at all. | While hacking into a major Vex terminal, the A.I.
