"...Hello, Guardian. I'm glad you're awake and responding. Don't worry, I know things seem strange. You've been asleep for a long time now. I know things seem much different than you may remember, but I will fill you in on all of the details right now...
A long time ago, around 2015, a beautiful and massive floating sphere called the Traveler pitched up in our solar system, ushering in an era of great prosperity for humanity, known as the Golden Age. The Golden Age truly began its time in 2066. The Traveler shared its technology and vast knowledge with the local humans, whose lifespans duly tripled as they spread out across the many planets of the Milky Way.
Alas, this wouldn't last forever. After centuries of good times came the Collapse in 2400. An evil force called The Darkness, a great and ancient adversary of the Traveler, turned up and started wiping us all out. Decimated by The Darkness, the last vestiges of humankind retreated to Earth, where the Traveler made its last stand, sacrificing itself to save the people who remained. The Traveler is around at the start of Destiny, dark and dormant, but still powerful enough to shelter one last location, The City, in its shadow.
The City has come under repeated attack by alien species over the years, but has always survived. The Traveler spawned a race of floating Rubik's Cube fellows like myself called Ghosts, who have begun resurrecting fallen individuals drawn from the ranks of Humans, Exo (robots created during the Golden Age) and Awoken (a race born in the Collapse) to become Guardians. Our (the Ghosts') criteria for selection are elusive, but this is where you came into play. As a newly forged Guardian, you must join the effort to retake the galaxy in the name of humankind, and overcome malicious alien races as you encounter them, and hopefully breathe life back into the Traveler in the process.
The year is now 2717, and have we seen quite a lot. The Guardians have already done so much, but now it's time for you to step in and do your part."
