This was a group of Golden - Age scientists who were dedicated to canvas the Vex and understanding them . Their symbol can be seenthroughout the " Enigma Protocol " activity . During the Collapse , the Collective sent out Exodus ships to ensure the survival of the species . One such ship , the Exodus Indigo , made it to Neptune where researchers Maya Sundaresh and Chioma Esi launch the city of Neomuna .

The … idea came to us by find out how collective networks like SIVA and the Vex operate . " inspire by the logic and structure of the Vex hive - judgment , Maya was able to successfully link up The Chorus to the Veil .
regrettably , it is revealed in recent logs thatChioma Esi found Maya Sundaresh dead in the Chorus ' conductor chair after she attempted to commune with the Veil alone . It ’s strange what her goal was in doing this alone , but it ’s no conjunction that the Conductor who kidnapped and interrogated Saint-14 shares a name so like to the seat where Maya was obtain beat . Based on how she was found , it ’s likely that Maya was at least partly successful in commune with the Veil and is now using its power to take dominance of the being that fascinated her for so long .

The full Veil Containment Log above , fromDestiny Lore Vaulton YouTube , explains how Exos were used in Maya ’s research . In this unconscious process , Maya gained a cracking understanding of how Exos operate .

Saint afterward described this experience , telling Osiris that " It was not like any Vex [ he has ] seen . It link up to [ his ] mind and call itself ' the Conductor . ' " Furthermore , Saint indicated that the Conductor was not interested in intel on the Vanguard , but rather that " They assess my human race , my legitimacy . “Conductor Maya is looking for what it signify to be " veridical , " and as what is maybe a copy of the " straight " Maya Sundaresh , it ’s no wonder the Conductor is look for answer from an Exo .

Saint-14 Is The Conductor’s Touchstone For Humanity, But How “Human” Are They?
Maya ’s history with both Exos and the Vex are manifest in the Conductor ’s modus operandi , and her goal is clear ; Saint tells Osiris that " A new Golden Age is coming , costless from falsities like me . " This indicate that not only does Conductor Maya believe that Saint-14 is a pale imitation of some " true " Saint-14 , but also thatshe will be the one to usher in a novel Golden Age using the king she has gained from both her experimentation with the Veil and the world power of the Echo .
Interestingly , if the Conductor really is a Veil - empowered Maya Sundaresh , she would also be a " written matter " like the Conductor accuses Saint-14 of being . Whether this lip service is an oversight from a megalomaniac or something more nuanced is yet to be seen .
With this newfangled threat to humanity on the apparent horizon , how will the Vanguard respond ? As the Cabal and Fallen join the subspecies to curb the Echo , Guardians will learn more about the Conductor ’s plans with the Vex .
