Traversing the debug chamber leads to the "hub" area of the Infinite Forest, located in what appears to be either the actual interior of Mercury, or a simulated version of it. This area contains four tower-like structures with gateways, three of which lead to different time periods within different simulations, and one that leads back to Mercury's surface. The sleek, futuristic tower to the left of the entrance leads to the distant past where Mercury is a lush garden world; the tower directly across the entrance, which is composed of conventional Vex architecture, leads to iterations of the present; and the crumbling, darkened tower to the right of the entrance leads to the far future, where the Sun is long dead, along with all life and the Vex have spread everywhere.<ref name="Livestream"/> The Infinite Forest does not only simulate Mercury or the Sun, but also entire timelines, comparable to other simulations of universes, there can even be doorways to other places such as [[Mars]],<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/mZYzcA5.jpg Osiris Comic Image]</ref> or even travel from Mercury to [[Earth]]. As Guardians move toward the main towers, they encounter simulated [[Cabal]], [[Fallen]], and [[Hive]], as well as [[Vex]], and must defeat disguised units called "Daemons" to generate new pathways and advance, these pathways change randomly every time one enters the forest. | Traversing the debug chamber leads to the "hub" area of the Infinite Forest, located in what appears to be either the actual interior of Mercury, or a simulated version of it.
