The Echoes are paracausal artifacts of Light and Darkness which emerged from the portal leading into the Pale Heart of the Traveler following the Witness' defeat by the Coalition. They were created from the memories of the various civilizations the Witness conquered during its eons-long crusade to find and subdue the Traveler, preserved in the Darkness and made real through the Light.[1]
Overview
Upon the Witness' destruction within the Pale Heart of the Traveler, its Darkness diffused into a mist which then coalesced with the Traveler's Light, creating a paracausal aurora called the Valence and crystallizing into several objects that emerged from the portal leading to the Pale Heart and scattered across the Sol System.[2][3] Crow reported to Zavala that one of the Echoes was seen heading towards the area between Jupiter and Neptune at relativistic speeds, before stopping in the orbital path of Nessus. Another landed in the Reef, while a third made its way to the Dreadnaught.
The Echo that landed on Nessus fell under the possession of the original version of Maya Sundaresh, whose consciousness had survived within the Darkness of the Veil and escaped into the Vex Network. This Echo contained the memories of the Qugu warden Te'Qal, and granted the power to compel and control other beings.
The Echo that landed in the Reef fell under the possession of Fikrul. It is currently unknown who is in possession of the Echo that landed on the Dreadnaught. The power offered by the Echoes allows the individuals who possess them to compel the species that serve the individual's interests to evolve, like Maya did with the Vex, Fikrul is doing with the Scorn.
