Destiny and its lore pages, man. So many important things have been buried in those over the years, but now it seems we may have one of thethis is being read the wrong way, but if not, it may explain the central concept of The Final Shape, that Cayde-6 is now somehow alive and inside the Traveler after being killed by Uldren Sov in Forsaken. Spoilers follow.
The ship is the reward from completing the final mission of Season of the Wish and it involves…a possible wish. The idea here is that it’s entirely possibly that Crow was tricked into using an Ahamkara wish to bring Cayde back to life. The ship is called “Unforseen Consequences” and its flavor text is “Be careful what you wish for” which uh, is a pretty good clue up front."Remorse and recriminations," Mara says absently. She turns her eyes toward him."If you could go back, alter the course of your history, what would you change?""Before then, I could have taken a different road. But once I pulled that trigger…" He shakes his head."Everything else, I can set right. But not that.
He and his gun also appear to be cracked and glowing, which I suppose is not proof of anything, but it’s weird, certainly, and I’m getting “he got glued back together with wish magic” vibes. One thing that may not fit here is that Riven’s “Last Wish” was supposed to be opening a path to the Traveler, but maybe she rolled this Cayde thing up with that.
It really just explains a lot, and I mean the damn name of the ship and flavor text practically spell it out. This seems like areveal to bury in the lore tab of a ship, but it’s also possible that this ends up being a proper reveal as the Final Shape story progresses. Right now, it’s the single best explanation for Cayde’s bizarre resurrection that I’ve seen so far.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
