Sometimes I wonder how daemons and the Dust would work in the Destiny and Destiny 2 games, because guardians have been brought from the dead but their daemons would be long gone. Then I got a tentative idea that their ghosts were siphoned with Dust, so each one can connect with their former half. So technically every guardian is rezzed by a pseudo daemon, if that makes sense.
Ooo this is a really cool headcanon. These little guys are so surprisingly expressive for robots that it’s hard not to assign personality to them. I’d imagine it would be very bittersweet for the guardians to hear their daemon’s voice coming from a cold metal machine rather than their living breathing animal forms.
