Rasputin was the first | Rasputin was the one to first discover the coming of the [[Darkness]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness|Ghost Fragment: Darkness]]''</ref> At that time, Rasputin's original core programming was to protect humanity. However, every action he had taken to that point had either failed or was statistically predicted to have a 100% probability of failure. Once it became clear that no conceivable action could be taken to fulfill his core programming, he implemented a protocol known as MIDNIGHT EXIGENT and reconfigured his core programming to that of long term survival, abandoning his previous function and going dark, while simultaneously ordering all remaining forces and facilities at his disposal to do the same.<ref name= "GFR3"/> | ||

Prior to the Collapse, Rasputin had created a protocol labeled "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE", which stipulated that if humanity was threatened with extinction and the Traveler attempted to leave Earth, Rasputin would open fire with his most powerful weapons to immobilize the Traveler and thereby coerce it into a "pseudoaltruistic" defensive action; in effect, the Traveler would be forced to protect humanity if it wanted to survive. Rasputin would avoid culpability for such an attack by initiating it through a series of proxies.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_5|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 5]]''</ref> Even before the Collapse, Rasputin had been discreetly stockpiling such weapons in the Cosmodrome, though some human operators suspected Rasputin's involvement.<ref name= "GFOldRussia3"/> Ultimately, however, ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE was never invoked by Rasputin, as the Traveler chose to stay and protect humanity of its own volition. | Prior to the Collapse, Rasputin had created a protocol labeled "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE", which stipulated that if humanity was threatened with extinction and the Traveler attempted to leave Earth, Rasputin would open fire with his most powerful weapons to immobilize the Traveler and thereby coerce it into a "pseudoaltruistic" defensive action; in effect, the Traveler would be forced to protect humanity if it wanted to survive.
