Destiny 2 Lore - How Shaxx & Elsie are defending The Last City & Ada's potential SIVA plans?

Destiny 2's Lore and Story from the Into The Light update shows The Last City under attack. The forces of The Witness have closed in around us and so great heroes like Lord Shaxx and Elsie Bray (AKA The Exo Stranger) have been tasked with defending The Last City. Meanwhile, Ada-1 and some of the new foundries might be looking to exploit an old resource in the Cosmodrome, which might just be SIVA.

[@ScrawnyClownSnatch]

I'd bet a godroll Ada is indeed referencing Siva, but not towards a future story line, but just the return of the Zero Hour Mission. Given we are going to her for the mission quest, its likely this will tie into how that is returning in lore like how Eris crafted the Whisper Of the Worm for us from a memory (as hand wavy as that is). That said, its not impossible this is referencing a new story line in the future. I know Bungie said they were done with Siva, but it wouldn't be the first time they went back on their word (like Cayde staying dead). Given Wrath of the Machine is the last D1 Raid that hasn't been brought into D2, Is very possible they create an episode based on Siva so they can use those assets to re-create that raid. Its a long shot though, so I'm not crossing my fingers at all.

Bungie word is evidently not final, with all the sunsetting getting reversed. SIVA might just be in their back pocket if Destiny ever starts dying 'too much'.

This has to be it. We already have the quest info for the outbreak reshaping and it's basically ADA tinkering with the weapon to use it against the Witness. There is still a possibility that it could be more, though. What interests (and partly terrifies me) is that if Wrath were to come back, it would be during Fikrul's episode. Can you imagine Scorn using SIVA?

My first thought when the mention of enemies that could get ahold of SIVA was actually Clovis Bray. He's still sitting quiet in Europa. If he could get ahold of SIVA, he might not even need any of the current Warmind data or framework to become one of the most formidable opponents we've ever seen, especially since SIVA was originally a Clovis Bray technology.

3:40 hey Byf, I wanted to let you know that there is one of the brave weapon lore tabs that's from the pov of 2 kids trying to get close to a live Crucible match, so while we do go into map simulations, there's still maps that we physically go into. So the redjacks are still being used for map clearing, I assume for the easier to maintain territories

[@yasininn76]

[@two_under_scores]

I see the Cosmodrome project being SIVA as the canon way they re-introduce some, or all, of the sunset weapons. It's also very convenient that the Black Armory weapons and SIVA share the same color scheme... Maybe they come back with a similar ornament that the shiny BRAVE weapons have, like a slightly SIVA-fied version?

[@darrellevans5027]

Word. Powering up an Exodus Ship, filling it full of guardians, and flying is straight through the portal into the Traveller. I mean as soon as crow like unlocks the door.

[@Landis963]

6:44 Sidebar: I noticed how many of the threats Elsie cites in this lore tab are ones that have already been mitigated, or even obviated. The Bombardment never occurred, that was the finale of Seraph. Hive sappers are in no position to undermine Perimeter South because Xivu's distracted, Savathun's waiting for us to get a stable path through the portal (for her to capitalize on like the clever minx she is), and Oryx is, of course, long dead. Botza now has a bunch of Eliksni in it, who would not long abide a rusty, unmaintained gate to the outside. ("They might not have the resources-" Did you see how quickly that bunting went up?) There is still the possibility that Anchor could get flattened by a Pyramid ship (it's already happened to Midtown, for example) but I suspect things have changed too much for that to occur.

[@ShaoShaoMienshao]

Modern reinforcement doesn't mean a vulnerability is no longer a vulnerability. Besides, we gave the Botza district to the Eliksni to settle into as a living space, not fortify for war.

[@Landis963]

@ShaoShaoMienshao The entire system is at war, and House Light are refugees. I would find it astounding if they didn't fortify their section of the Last City, if only so they could feel safe. (We're lucky the events of Splicer didn't cause them to fortify Botza against us, really)

[@SinisterOL]

I really love reading all the lore tabs of all the weapons, seeing Shaxx work Ada, Saladin and Elise to make the BRAVE weapons and seeing all the POV’s if tue civilians

I just want to express my appreciation for the editing surrounding Ada interrupting Shaxx in the Blast Furance lore tab. Very nicely done

[@Stereo-hb2lo]

The cursed enemy has finally joined us as allies, couldn't be happier

[@YANASaysHi]

About Forbearance: the weapons all have non-voiced dialogue when you recieve the fixed curated rolls from Shaxx. he comments on Forbearance as being a "Pyramid souvenir". suppose he's referring to the "original" Forbearance, since he also states he designed the new Brave launchers. then again he also calls them weapons of Darkness, by the Darkness, against the Darkness. so to my interpretation (possibly wrong, obviously) rather than being imitation Forbearances from an unknown source, the Brave Forbearances are either shaped from the Mars Relic or reclaimed from (Rhulk's) Pyramid ruins. they're then machined and modified by the team working on the Brave weapons like Shaxx and Ada, then distributed to those participating in the anti-Onslaught effort. this lets them stay distinct from the original Forbearances while also explaining their relatively equal capability despite their differing appearance, as well as their allowance to be used so widely aside from the Vanguard's more typical approval for the others in the set.

Now that the seasons are done and Onslaught is in the game, I feel like a much improved Lightfall experience is in the game now. I think you'd have do things slightly out of order to improve the Lightfall experience, but I think it's doable. Just the idea makes me wish there was some sort of director's cut type edit in the form of a campaign mode playlist that runs us in a more effective order. Maybe it can insert Onslaught and season of Defiance missions into the Lightfall campaign missions as well as the Ahsa flashback and even season of the Witch stuff to create the illusion that Calus went to Neomuna but Xivu Arath attacked Earth in the overall fight against the Witness forces.

[@CruiserToneFan]

Maybe it's not just SIVA, maybe it's both SIVA AND the Warmind bunkers. SIVA tech combined with Warmind Ikelos weapon tech could be incredible, and if the Neomuni pitch in to help, the last city could end up with weapons combining the technology of the Ikelos weapons, SIVA, the Neomuni's nanite fluid, AND the Black Armory's technology. All of that combined could result in weaponry that is close to exotic weapon power, if not exotic weapons themselves. Imagine that, a whole line of new exotic weapons, all of them made from all that technology. Could even bring a modified version of Warmind cells back that are utilized by the weapons.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

You could clear entire rooms near instantly, burn everything in the room with a DoT, pick up cells and throw them near or on to mobs to then detonate them by shooting the cell.

I felt so bad hearing Byf exploring all these cool elaborate possibilities for Ada-1’s Cosmodrome Plans, when it’s obviously just talking about the Zero Hour Reprisal she will give us 😭 2 Cool Facts about SIVA: Rasputin sent a Ship with an Unnamed Submind and SIVA far outside the Solar System, and we haven’t heard of them since… (and no, it’s not Exodus Black, that’s a Colony Ship) I don’t know why Byf often called the Devil Splicers as trying to “ascend into demigods” is the word ‘Demigod’ ever mentioned in Rise of Iron? I’m pretty certain that the Devil Splicers intentions wasn’t to become xeno Techpriests, rather outright Machine Gods. The badass looking Strike-Exclusive Warlock Bond “Sepiks Deposed Bond” has a description saying “Prime no longer. *No Primes but We.”* The Devil Splicers no longer saw the Servitors as Gods, but rather themselves. Aksis Prime was meant to be the first of many. Personally I’d LOVE for it to be revealed a copy of Atraks-1, Fallen Exo survived, and she found Europe’s SIVA Replication Complex, succeeding where Eramis failed, granting the Fallen freedom from subservience to Light or Dark. Just as Atraks said during the early Eramis era *“I see what the Devils can be.”*

[@3rdrick]

To answer your question about the splicers, to us yes they are just looking for body augmentation. However when Byf refers to them as Demigods, its because thats how THEY see themselves. Eliksni worship technology thats why aksis was referred to as achieving godhood.

[@archivesEris]

I don't know if the return of SIVA is super likely, but damn I hope so. SIVA is such a cool technology and I'd love to see it make a comeback. I feel like there's a lot of interesting things you can do with SIVA- obviously there's the entire Saladin & the Iron Lords dynamic- which also means Caiatl's Ascendancy may have strong opinions about using the tech. But there's also the House of Light and its Sacred Splicers, the cautious optimism of "maybe we can control it this time," and hey, maybe even the Neomuni could give us some pointers on how to wield nanotech responsibly. SIVA is just a well of potential IMO and I hope Bungie does something with it.

[@samvimes9510]

Redjacks are only used as _backup_ when clearing potential crucible arenas, guardians are always in charge. Redjacks are also deployed in massive amounts and even then, barely any manage to survive combat. And let's not forget, Drifter himself told us that it takes 100 redjacks to kill a single Hive Knight. Although tbh, I'm not sure even 200 redjacks could manage that. Every time we enter Onslaught, we follow a handful of redjacks to the objective and they immediately die to basic fodder enemies. Redjacks are practically useless and Shaxx needs to consider upgrading them.

I'm also worried that Clovis Bray might try and get ahold of Siva because that would work perfectly with him... Clovis takes the spot of Rasputin and commands Siva. I would like to see all those programs come back to life and if we defeat the Witness, humanity can have a second golden age. Anyways, great video Byf!!

Ada-1 is foreshadowing the returning Outbreak Perfected mission.

[@anariel_peredhil91]

Remember the Exodus Ship inside the Traveler? That one scene from the Trailer? Maybe that has something to do with it as well?

[@prstechnic1774]

Imagine an episode with a set of siva inspired black armory weapons and armor. On top of wrath of the machine coming back. Thats a wet dream and a half.

[@JustinPoarch]

Let’s go!! Great video

[@eyllyssaunders5345]

I'm glad guardians have finally domesticated the deadly scorpius turret

[@loganblaze2164]

Now I'm definitely going to do Onslaught.

[@kakkaohjus]

Aiding in securing SIVA would be an excellent way for Mithrax as a Splicer to help in, and fortifying his survivability.

[@deadlock9085]

Damn it you knew what you were doing giving false hope u were talking about siva. Then to bring it out at the end brilliant great vid ❤🎉

[@feralprocessor9853]

Right off the bat, Guardians having a killstreak of hive like old times.

[@TheShuuman]

Mithrax using Siva to upgrade Eliksni weapons to help fight in the Traveler and beyond or going into a Taniks style super mode. Gosh I want that so bad.

[@f4nartist247]

Makes Sense that it is SIVA, since we get the Outbreak Mission from Ada-1. Could be a connecting thread

[@OperatorErrorr]

Agreed, amazing video.

[@El_Guapo98]

We are so back it’s like we never left!

[@GM-lx7ji]

Honestly all the things left behind in cosmodrome you laid out are valid points that may be a part of one or multiple episodes, maybe not the ones we’re gonna get this year but maybe the year after. Also can we get siva versions of black armory, Ikelos and seraphin weapons? Please Bungie!

[@gingerforce69]

Idk if this fits the bill, but the first thing my mind went to with "Cosmadrome Project" was warmind cell tech. That would be a weapon/tech that was gotten rid of.

[@VexyPony]

Nice subtle nod to the next TSLAYP video

[@XECaptainGinyu]

the Siva theory is on point. That raid is the next one to be released for the collection of D1 raids. so plan on taking on the Archon once more Guardians.

[@anillgupta]

I hope we see some grand form of Siva action during the battle with Witness and turning Siva from dreaded thing to a usable tech in future of Destiny...

[@conmanay4563]

A lot of people think the husk’s chest worm is a hint that bungie is making the code to have devil splicers back for wrath of the machine
