According to [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil]], the Nine originated from streams of dark matter particles passing through the Sol System. As dark matter only interacts with normal matter through gravity, these streams were drawn to the cores of the Sun and its orbiting planets. The infalling dark matter was then flung back into space, before being pulled in again to form endless loops. These loops formed the basis of emergent consciousnesses that would become the Nine. | |||
The Nine did not truly "awaken" until life evolved within the inner solar system. The movements of life-forms resulted in perturbations to the loops of dark matter particles cycling through each celestial body, creating waves that formed the basis of complex thoughts. As the Nine owed their minds to the activity of life-forms, they collectively resolved to understand and protect life in the Sol System.<ref>https://data.destinysets.com/i/PresentationNode:564676571/PresentationNode:1975975321/PresentationNode:3148269494/Record:2165600551/Lore:3891297049</ref> | |||
