The Witness played a key role in the ascension of the [[Hive]] on [[Fundament]] by telepathically communicating with the young Sathona via her [[Worm]] familiar, telling her that the [[Osmium Court]] was in imminent danger of destruction by a tidal wave generated by a syzygy. In reality, there was no such danger: the Witness merely wanted to claim the [[Hive#Origins|Krill]] as servants of the Darkness before the Traveler could arrive and uplift them along with the [[Ammonite]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[The Witch Queen (Quest)]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-witch-queen-step-17 Step 17: Speak with Ikora on Mars]''</ref>

Sometime after the Witness created the Hive, the Darkness-wielding [[Ecumene]] and [[Qugu]] were rendered extinct by them. Their use of the Darkness is not reported in the [[Books of Sorrow]], suggesting that either [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] or the Witness itself excised this fact, presumably due to its seeming contradiction with the Witness' ideology.
