Ghost Stories, A Destiny Podcast

Episode 27.5 (06/05/2016) - This War Is Love This week we’re picking up right where we left off last time with Ghost Fragment: Vex 5. These series of entries are really the genesis of what we believe to be the modern Future War Cult, and this last one really establishes a lot of themes we’re going to encounter when we get to the FWC in the New Guardian Age. We discover the origins of RECORD and CHASM, the Device, it’s early subjects, Rasputin’s involvement, and how Maya’s love sets her on a path to defy all of space and time in an attempt to be with Chioma again.

Episode 27 (05/29/2016) - The Once and Future War Cult This week brings us to Part 3 of our look at the Factions of the City, which can only mean Future War Cult. Before we do though, we’re presenting this special episode covering the first four Ghost Fragment: Vex Grimoire entries. This series of entries is really the genesis of what we believe to be the modern Future War Cult, with its origins stretching back deep into the Golden Age of Venus and the research of the scientists of the Ishtar Collective. It’s a fascinating tale and it’s repercussions could reshape what we know of the Vex, the FWC, the Exo Stranger, the Device and so much more.

Episode 26 (05/015/2016) - Dead Orbit is Best Orbit This week brings us to Part 2 of our look at the Factions of the City and the choice of true professionals, Dead Orbit. Join us as we discuss the origins of Dead Orbit, the tenets and philosophies of the Arachs, the mysteries surrounding “The Fleet”, some very interesting Grimoire cards and what they may mean for the future of Destiny, and a whole lot more. We’re all also very punchy this episode (since we missed a week) so stay tuned for a colossal amount of sidetracking, derailing, and outtakes while we discuss Arach Jalaal’s mysterious puddle, Gabbleratchet’s horrible face, pronounce Russian names poorly, and all agree that Cayde-6 said it best with “I gotta get out of this Tower.” Contact Us: Twitter: @DGhostStories Email: destinyghoststories@gmail.com Facebook: /DGhostStories Instagram: @DGhostStories Email us for an invite to our Fan Chat on Slack.
