This network, called [[The Nexus]], converts planets into machines; Mercury was converted into a machine world within days of the [[Collapse]]. Ostensibly, the purpose of the Nexus is to create a massive supercomputer in order to incorporate the Vex into the fabric of the universe itself.<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard''</ref> The [[Vault of Glass]], a place where the Vex can manipulate reality at will, is potentially a testing ground for this power. This power is limited to the Vault, though [[Ikora]] hypothesizes that the [[Sol Progeny]] were meant to carry this ability into the rest of the universe.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Sol_Progeny|Sol Progeny]]''</ref> Both the Vault of Glass and The Nexus are part of a massive project being undertaken by the [[Hezen Protective]], so it can be assumed the two are related.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Hezen_Protective|Hezen Protective]]''</ref> | ||
Vex already exist in the distant past and future as the [[Precursors]] and [[Descendants]], respectively. Despite already existing in the past and future, the Vex have not yet eliminated their enemies for unknown reasons. This may be due to our poor understanding of the nature of time, or that the Vex do not currently have the resources to carry out their plans.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Descendants|Descendants]]''</ref> | Vex already exist in the distant past and future as the [[Precursors]] and [[Descendants]], respectively.
