Somebody tell me all the good lore/flavor text/story development from this update. Or I guess I could watch a playthrough!

Boy I love hate this new lore in which the Ares mars mission to go meet the Traveler was scraped together in 60 days with a crew of complete strangers and flown literally the day after one of the crew died (without replacing her?) This is how space travel works! There definitely aren’t any painstakingly prepared crews with thorough backup rosters or arrrrrgh

Bonus deep lore: the Traveler was apparently named for the thing you’re not supposed to do in basketball 🏀

Hive do space magic, Vex delete you but only if they can overcome the deeply noncomputable and nonphysical nature of Guardians, Fallen steal/shoot/smash the Ghost and Cabal drop orbital artillery on their own fighting positions.

Darkness zones occur wherever there’s a high chance of death because your Ghost has fewer parallel quantum realities where you’re alive to work from I just made this up

Why is the traveler named for a basketball foul they don't even call :wtc:

Hardy: What, you don't play basketball?

Qiao: Of course I do.

Hardy: Okay, so me and Mihaylova against you and Evie.

Evie: Oh, we'll wipe the floor with you.

Mihaylova: Don't be so sure.

Hardy: How's the nav coming?

Qiao: All told, beautiful. With Mihay's AI and Evie's theories—

Evie: We don't want to accidentally run into it.

Hardy: It?

Evie: Moon X.

Mihaylova: Agh!

Evie: Too slow.

Hardy: Hey! No traveling.

Evie: Sorry—

Qiao: Got it.

Hardy: Not so fast—

Qiao: Two points. You want to talk about fast.

Evie: Wait. Wait.

Hardy: Huh. Okay. What?

Evie: Traveling. Moon X. Look, we need to stop even thinking of it as a satellite or a false moon. It's big, but it acts alive— this thing moves with purpose. It's a visitor. It's… a Traveler.
