During the [[Golden Age]], | During the [[Golden Age]], Maya Sundaresh was part of the Ishtar Academy, studying various phenomeon on Venus, such as the Vex and [[Ahamkara]].<ref>'''Cayde's Treasure Island Book''' ''[[Cayde's_Treasure_Island_Book|Cayde's Treasure Island Book]]''</ref> She, along with Dr. [[Shim]], [[Chioma Esi]], and [[Duane-McNiadh]], extensively studied the [[Vex]] after capturing an operation platform they designated as "Subject 12." In the process, Esi discovered that the Vex was running a simulation of their research team that was completely accurate.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost Fragment: Vex|Ghost Fragment: Vex]]''</ref> After much debate, they concluded that the only way to save themselves from the simulation was to bring in something the Vex could not simulate, proposing that a [[Warmind]] was far too complex to simulate. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost Fragment: Vex 3|Ghost Fragment: Vex 3]]''</ref> They were able to rescue 227 undamaged copies of themselves from inside the Vex, and all copies voted to become explorers in the Vex information network.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstaion 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost Fragment: Vex 4|Ghost Fragment: Vex 4]]''</ref> | ||
Nearly forty years later, Maya was part of new research team on Earth in Lhasa. They had built a form of mind-forking device in mimicry of the Vex gateway systems from Ishtar. The experiments were overseen by a Warmind, and they were locked in complete isolation. The experiments proved emotionally taxing, and potentially fatal, and the team resulted in ritual and worship in an attempt to appease the device. After experiencing an unknown event while using the device on herself, she became determined to reunite with her partner Chioma and quit the program. She advised her team to continue the log she started at the beginning of the experiments.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]], Playstaion 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost Fragment: Vex 5|Ghost Fragment: Vex 5]]''</ref> Years later by the time of [[The City]] the same log was still being used by the Future War Cult, who continued to experiment with her device.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstaion 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/City_Factions#Ghost Fragment: Future War Cult|Ghost Fragment: Future War Cult]]''</ref> | |||
