Given how the Veil looks really organic, I assumed it was the Traveller's actual heart (also, the Witness saying that the Traveller's pale heart being the key is also some evidence I'm using). My assumption is that Savathun ripped it out and hid it on Neomuna during the collapse and the Witness assumed it was dead

Oh I like that theory, so what was left of the Traveler after the collapse was basically a drone being remotely controlled by the Veil? That would actually make sense if that's why the Witness was summoned after Gaul. Maybe Savathun convinced him the Veil left the system then he sensed it after it used its ability to heal/defeat the Red Legion.

So, without the Veil being connected to the Traveler, the Witness wasn't able to highjack it and turn it into the triangle portal. Doesn't explain why the Witness was able to be so easily hacked by the Witness to take control of the Veil but I guess all the communing with the Pyramid we did.

So the next question would be if the Veil has "consciousness" or is just the key to the Traveler's ignition/power and something else is remotely channeling the Veil. To remote control a drone UAV you need a base operator sending a signal through wires to a transmitter, up to a satellite, then to the UAV, so I'm guessing the Gardener pilots the Traveler through the Veil? Or maybe created the Traveler with parameters/rules and they're both kind of on autopilot.

I think the Witness used our Ghost as a Trojan Horse of sorts to "send" the Veil back into the Traveler but the Witness intercepted it and absorbed it, also Osiris tells us that the portal was the result of the mixing of primordial Light and Dark. My guess is the portal maybe leads to the pre-universe Garden told about in Unveiling.

Ya I think it's either the OG Garden or maybe that place doesn't exist anymore and there's just a zone in-between all the multiverses. Either way I wish it gave up more info than it did
