Scroll-5

Guardian Scroll-5's personal log. I'm an Exo Hunter. My Ghost, Luna, said it'd probably be a good idea to record some of our stories and "socialize" with other guardians while we're out of the tower. I'll be replying to asks, sharing my stories, and maybe even having new adventures with other guardians, via this blog. Use the Pages drop down to easily read the story in order.

Travel to Exotic Destinations in our Galaxy!

The planets beyond our solar system – exoplanets – are so far away, often trillions of miles, that we don’t have the technology to truly see them. Even the best photos show the planets as little more than bright dots. We’ve confirmed more than 5,000 exoplanets, but we think there are billions. Space telescopes like Hubble aren’t able to take photos of these far-off worlds, but by studying them in different wavelengths of light (colors), we’ve learned enough about conditions on these planets that we can illustrate them.

We know, thanks to the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope, that there is a thick atmosphere on a planet called 55 Cancri e about 40 light-years away. And Hubble found silicate vapor in the atmosphere of this rocky world. We also know it’s scorching-close to its Sun-like star, so … lava. Lots and lots of lava. This planet is just one of the many that the James Webb Space Telescope will soon study, telling us even more about the lava world!

You can take a guided tour of this planet (and others) and see 360-degree simulations at our new Exoplanet Travel Bureau.

Travel to the most exotic destinations in our galaxy, including:

Kepler-16b, a planet with two suns.

Then there’s PSO J318.5-22, a world with no sun that wanders the galaxy alone. The nightlife would never end on a planet without a star.

TRAPPIST-1e, which will also be studied by the Webb Space Telescope, is one of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a star about 40 light-years from Earth. It’s close enough that, if you were standing on this exoplanet, you could see our Sun as a star in the Leo constellation! You can also see it on the poster below: look for a yellow star to the right of the top person’s eye.

We haven’t found life beyond Earth (yet) but we’re looking. Meanwhile, we can imagine the possibility of red grass and other plants on Kepler-186f, a planet orbiting a red dwarf star.

We can also imagine what it might be like to skydive on a super-Earth about seven times more massive than our home planet. You would fall about 35% faster on a super-Earth like HD 40307g, making for a thrilling ride!

Any traveler is going to want to pick up souvenirs, and we have you covered. You can find free downloads of all the posters here and others! What are you waiting for? Come explore with us!

Too many people have never seen the scifi premier count down video from youtube, and I need to fix that. It’s such a good animation.

For anyone who doesn’t know, youtube has a feature called Premier, where you can schedule your videos to go up at a specific time, but it uploads it as a live stream with live chat. Before the video plays, they have a built in count down to give viewers time to settle in and chat before the video plays. this is one of those count down videos and it is leagues above the other’s you can select to play.

I don’t know who did this animation, but it’s amazing and I want to see what else they’ve made.

shoutout to bungie for actually getting a mexican artist to work on a dia de los muertos themed shell

[bifags]

Hi! Where did you found those 3D models? Any link please?

right here ^_^

I hope people will stop calling Saint xenophobic now

[scroll-5]

I’m so excited to see this character development. I really thought Saint was going to in a much darker “Sometimes you have to be a monster to be a hero” kind of thing and not give a damn ans still swear the eliksni as his enemies.

Now I just hope Lakshmi doesn’t do something to make him take this back. I could see her insighting violence in some way that makes the eliksni look like the bad guys and Saint thinking how this realization was all a lie and they really are the monsters.

[jadeitor-art]

Wait a sec…

[scroll-5]

Yeah, but I’ve seen what she can do with a knife. Anna’s like “Hmm, getting kinda long. I guess I’ll just...”

Be gay and do crimes against the FWC

[valcyn-pilot]

Don't even have to be gay.

Do crimes against FWC.

[japhet-von-kotto-deactivated202]

What is the FWC?

[jadeitor-art]

Lakshmi-2 Fucking Whore Cunt

“why has he not done so yet”

almost like we’ve been depriving him of proper resources to do so by starving his people or I dunno

[screebslayer]

that message made me want to shoot the console

[jadeitor-art]

[scroll-5]

Man, I used to be a huge fan of FWC, but there’s just another thing I’m disappointed in now.

“I’m starting to think we shouldn’t let Warlocks talk to Polaroid…”

[scroll-5]

I swear, Polaroid is one of the few things I will consistently love about destiny and it’s fan works. Regardless the state of the game and how much I’ve fallen from the fandom, Polaroid is always great.

Destiny | Character Model

3D Model Viewer for Destiny.

Found this on Twitter! It is a useful tool for Destiny artists who need references for armor and such! Try it out!

[badghostmods]

Ive been getting into digital art recently and made a vaporwave ghost… bc… hes like…. SYNTHetic

holy shit this is cool AF

[thesevenseraphs]

I hope every casual players stops playing Trials so every sweaty player has to play other high bracket players and they just constantly complain about playing against nothing but sweaty players.

Like, I’m tired of getting teabagged on my attempt for win ONE like you just went flawless right there. Get the fuck out of here, my dudes. You’re just making less people want to play the mode.

[scroll-5]

This is why I quit playing trials in D1 and haven’t even bothered to try it since it came out n D2. And so many people told me it was going to be different in D2, for some reason :/

[thesevenseraphs]

Can I get BrayTech Osprey Rocket Launcher playing the strike or it's ONLY available via the Nighfall?

ONLY nightfall. So you can wait until it becomes available in the rotation for Ordeal (it isn’t right now). Or wait until it is a regular (un-matchmade) nightfall and keep running it until it drops. 

[scroll-5]

It took me almost a year to get this piece of junk and get my Wayfarer title because I have the worst rng in the world :D

[aislinavalbane]

So, I went in to do the Bunker strike yesterday, or whatever you call it, and, when the door opened, all the Fallen never moved.  They just stayed idle.  So I looked around and saw these two off to the left.  The Dreg was playing with the water puddle, moving his dagger through it and, I think, trying to drink the water off the blade.  The Vandal, though, was sound asleep.  He was just laying like this, and his body was moving up and down like he was softly snoring.  It was actually adorable and I felt TERRIBLE I had to shoot them.  I actually couldn’t do it.  I waited for me being there to alert them and them to attack me so I didn’t feel as bad.  LOL!  But, anyway, I was able to get right beside them, moving slow, and it didn’t trigger the game to have them notice me, so I got these two pics of a sleeping Vandal for those who I know love the Fallen and may be curious to see how they sleep.  It looks like it’d be uncomfortable for us, but seems very comfortable for them.  

I REALLY hope, at some point, they become our allies.  I do like the Fallen and think they are a fascinating and actually relatively peaceful and kind people.  Just, what happened changed them.  So, fingers crossed for the future! ❤️

Here’s a dumb idea

Hey so I just started the new season and I have a dumb idea. Why don’t we just tow the almighty a couple degrees to the side and let it just sail on by? I mean Dead orbit has a lot of ships. There’s a bunch of guardians with ships. I’m sure Spider has a Ketch laying around we could rent. Hell, there are a lot of fallen through out the system who don’t want the Earth and more importantly, the Traveler to get crashes into, and they still have fleets of Ketches. I’m pretty confidant we could just move it and screw up the whole red legion plan. Like, destroying their navigation and propulsion computers is a pretty lazy way send a ship on a collision coarse. Also don’t we know more than enough about Cobal tech to just hack the ship and forgo their computers all together? I bet my ghost could send this thing sailing off into space, no problem.
