So you're willing to accept a theory that the Dark have invisible Wights that can walk up to a target and destroy it.

I don't but this. I do buy the fact that Bungie scripted an event the only way the could to make it look like the Wights were teleported in to destroy the Knot. They couldn't achieve the effect we see in "Force Ten..." since they wanted the reverse to happen. That is we walk away from the Knot, Wights appear and detonate themselves in the absence of any Light troops.

Ahhhh... it's good to be back. But where is Lord Chromag, Tribunal, Weevil, B|ak, and evil one himself poens dare? Folks have been slackin' here... the cycle is nearly complete and the Fallen will rise once more! ;-)
