*The Vex will not rest until every star has been crushed into a black hole and every newborn cosmos filled with more Vex. And in the unending array of their enslaved cosmos, they will simulate all possible pasts, and fill those with Vex, so that all things that have ever lived or might ever live will experience infestation and consumption and torment by the silica nightmare.

And in those devoured simulations, the simulated Vex will use our flesh as hosts for yet more nested universes full of yet more nested copies of us eternally tormented by yet more Vex.

An infinite regression of pain and madness inflicted upon every possible version of us in every possible world. Not because they hate us, or fear us, or want to punish us. But because they are indifferent and curious, and they will do every possible thing to us in every possible way. Savathûn believed that the Vex sought to dominate "every possible end state of the universe," which Oryx describes as building "an emperor for all outcomes" to contrast him becoming "the king of only one."* As seen in the Infinite Forest, to ensure their ideal future, the Vex seek to bring about a state where neither the Light nor the Darkness exist any longer. or by using ontological weapons, and consequently have a particular interest in understanding paracausality and co-opting paracausal forces for their own use where possible. When the Vex first encountered the Hive after Crota inadvertently released them into the Ascendant Realm of Oryx, the Vex manifested an Axis Mind dedicated to understanding and utilizing the Sword-Logic. All Vex seek to survive and dominate the universe, but while the main Vex Collective seek to simulate a future where both Light and Darkness don't exist and only Vex remain, It is noted in Deterministic Chaos that the Sol Divisive follow a lonelier path compare to other Vex, as they chose to aim for the chance to create something, something truly paracausal, instead of to simply simulate or remake in their image. It is said that Vex encryption is unbreakable.

Emperor Calus described the Vex as "cocoons" for "something greater", which may allude to him having some knowledge of their origins in the original flower game. He also described all the Vex previously encountered merely as gardeners, engineers, and managers, and implied that Guardians have yet to encounter their true warriors. However, this may simply be something Calus wishes to see come true, as prone as he is to flights of fancy. The Vex exhibit a desire to be as multi-functional as possible, such as in the descriptions of their weapons, so it is unlikely for them to hold back prospective "warrior" units which may be used to further their objectives.
