Mind uploading technology was developed by the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray corporation]] during the Golden Age; many Exos come from the mysterious [[Deep Stone Crypt]] on [[Europa]]. Exo names typically include the number of memory-wiping "reboots" of their brain, e.g. [[Cayde-6]] or [[Saint-14]]. While not being biologically "alive", Exos retain many human qualities and habits; just like any living being, they have [[Light]] of their own. They can die and be revived by a [[Ghost]]. | ||

===The Collapse=== | |||
During the Collapse, a number of Exos were present on the colony ship ''Exodus Indigo'', which carried a group of surviving [[Ishtar Collective]] researchers to Neptune in an attempt to evade the Black Fleet. After arriving on the terraformed surface of the gas giant, the colonists discovered a paracausal entity known as the Veil, which had previously been hidden away on the planet by the Hive God Savathûn. The Veil emitted electromagnetic signals that produced psychological disturbances in the Exos present, causing them to hallucinate and in some cases enter a state of "billboarding" similar to that reported by Clovis Bray I during the initial development of the Exos. Most, if not all, of the Exos present on the mission eventually succumbed to the Veil's influence, entering a state of brain death. | |||
Later on, [[Maya Sundaresh]] would use some of these brain-dead Exos in an experiment involving a prototype Veil interface, in which the Veil's psychic emanations were channeled through an assembly of catatonic Exos and funneled into a central recipient, along with a mental imprint provided by Maya herself. The central Exo subject in this case was Lakshmi-2, who Maya had known prior to coming to Neptune. Lakshmi regained consciousness following this experiment, but her mind appeared to have become a total or partial copy of Maya's, sharing some of her memories and speaking in Maya's voice.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woNYh2TPILA</ref> | |||
At some point, Lakshmi left Neptune and returned to Earth, where she lived through the Dark Age before eventually being recruited by the Future War Cult and moving to the Last City. None of the other Exos brought to Neptune by the ''Exodus Indigo'' are known to have survived after exposure to the Veil, with the people of [[Neomuna]] centuries later believing the Exos to have gone "extinct." | |||
