Good question. It only came because it sensed the Vex rebboting their systems. It felt the changing of the timeline, and a great power fading. So it came toaid us, to prepare us. The Traveller ma yhave even given us the ability to adapt more. When the people of Earth tried to leave, they were destroyed by Darkness. But no-one knows how. Its easy. The Oracles wiped them from existance. The Awoken, they cantroll the Fallen because they can resist the Vex. Then, they could hit them while they were weak, and seize control. In one of the grimore cards, they speak of using Rasputin to invision a few scientists to escape the Vex's grasp. They learned the Vex used what they know of them, to manipulate their every move, and know what they would do next. So they got an AI to break in and break the cycle. The Traveler came to break us from that cycle.
