-When the [[Guardian]]s [[Kabr, the Legionless]], [[Pahanin]], and [[Praedyth]] ventured into the [[Vault of Glass]] on Venus, a major confluence of the Vex network, they were thwarted by the [[Templar]] and its [[Gorgons]]. Pahanin managed to escape, but Kabr became assimilated and Praedyth was trapped and lost to time. The Guardians, seeking to further break the Vex's power in the wake of the Black Garden Heart's destruction and avenge Kabr's team, formed a new raid team to breach the Vault of Glass. After a dangerous struggle, the Guardians manage to breach the Templar's indestructible shield and destroy the Mind. Further, the Guardians evade the Gorgon's abilities and bypass their labyrinth, proceeding to the core of the Vault. At the center of the Vault, the Guardians face off against [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]], the Vault's overseer. Battling the powerful Axis Mind across the time-ways, the Guardians succeed in destroying Atheon, dealing a critical blow to the Vex.
+Sometime before the events of Destiny, the [[Guardian]]s [[Kabr, the Legionless]], [[Pahanin]], and [[Praedyth]] ventured into the [[Vault of Glass]] on Venus, a major confluence of the Vex network. Inside, they were quickly thwarted by the [[Templar]] and its [[Gorgons]]. Pahanin managed to escape, but Kabr was assimilated after giving his Light to fashion the [[Aegis]], while Praedyth was captured and trapped outside of time.
-On Mars, the Vex (under the [[Virgo Prohibition]]) waged an intense war with the [[Cabal]], who managed to repel the machines despite the vast numbers of them that continually assaulted Cabal positions.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Virgo_Prohibition|Virgo Prohibition]]''</ref> The reason for this massive, if ineffective, offensive against the Cabal is that the Vex were surging to protect the [[Black Garden]],<ref name = 'A Rising Tide'/> which the Vex are being summoned to for an unknown purpose. Guardians who succeeded in breaking into the Black Garden discovered that the Vex in fact worshipped an entity within the Garden known as the [[Black Heart]], an aspect of the [[Darkness]] that had lent power to the Vex.<ref name = "Destiny"/> Even after the destruction of the Sol Progeny and the Black Heart, the Vex sought to control the Black Garden and pull it back out of space and time. Besides the Black Heart, the Vex may have another connection with the Darkness; [[Osiris]] speculated that Vex structures such as the Timekeeper are designed to activate in the presence of the Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible Arenas#Timekeeper|Timekeeper]]''</ref>
+On Mars, the Vex (under the [[Virgo Prohibition]]) waged an intense war with the [[Cabal]], who managed to repel the machines despite the vast numbers of them that continually assaulted Cabal positions.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Virgo_Prohibition|Virgo Prohibition]]''</ref> This massive, if ineffective, offensive against the Cabal was an effort by the Vex to bar entry to the [[Black Garden]],<ref name = 'A Rising Tide'/> which the Vex were being summoned to for a then-unknown purpose. Upon successfully infiltrating the Black Garden, [[the Guardian]] discovered a collective of Vex dedicated to worshipping an entity within the Garden known as the [[Black Heart]], an aspect or construct of the [[Darkness]].<ref name = "Destiny"/> This seemingly-uncharacteristic behavior was later thought to have been as rational as everything the Vex do; they simply determined that worshiping the Heart would be the most advantageous course of action. This hypothesis was supported by the presence of the [[Sol Progeny]], a trio of Vex frames meant to serve as vessels for the Heart—and to use its power to further the ends of the Vex network.
-Following the destruction of [[Crota]] on the [[Moon]], a Strike Team was formed to seek and destroy [[The Undying Mind]] within the [[Black Garden]]. The mission was successful and the axis mind was defeated, though it somehow managed to return later and lead the vex armies on Luna.
+Subsequently, a second group of Guardians would enter the Vault of Glass, seeking to further break the Vex's power following the destruction of the Black Heart. The Aegis—having been designed specifically to counter the reality-bending capabilities of the Vault’s denizens—allowed these Guardians to escape the fates of their predecessors, fight their way to the core of the Vault, and engage and destroy [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]], the Vault's overseer.
+The destruction of the Heart had caused the Black Garden to become a part of normal spacetime, with several entryways on and beneath the surface of Mars. [[The Undying Mind]], an ancient Vex Hydra, would later attempt to seal the Garden away from normal spacetime once more, to secure it against further intrusion. Following the destruction of [[Crota]] on the [[Moon]], a strike team entered the Garden and destroyed the Mind, stopping its work—though, true to its name, it would eventually return.
