Ghost [[Balthazar]] claimed that Ghosts origin within the Womb, a place inside the Traveler, described as "cosmos inside a bottle" or "infinite space enclosed within a celestial egg", where trillions of star-like souls orbit each other in a complex weave. Another Ghost called [[Peach]] was dismissive of this description, contending that neither him nor Balthazar can't remember the time within the Traveler.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ghost_Stories#Difference_of_Opinion|Ghost Stories - Difference of Opinion]]''</ref>
