(Well, I did have this cool concept that was going to be my "back-up". Here's the skinny: since all Deep Stone members are Exos, they share a collective base signiature, like human DNA. Due to this, when a Deep Stone member retires or even dies, their Ghost, which is presumably left behind, is kept in the massive Crypt of Memory, below the main Keep. When a new Initiate appears, unless they are 'risen' like most Guardians, they will be chosen by one of the Ghosts from within the Crypt, in a similar fashion to the dragons in the Inheritance Cycle, based on their similarities to the original Guardian the Ghost bonded to.. The advantage to this is that new Guardians will have an experienced Ghost at their side, one who can counsel them in whatever situation they face.)
