Due to this, Rasputin began to question its motives and whether the Traveler could bring any foreign dangers with it. | ||
Hating the injection of risks to any modelling performed, he devised a contingency plan that would be kept secret that no other human or AI system could access for the sake of protecting humanity. His plan was if the Traveler showed any signs of betrayal or attempts to flee, Rasputin would prevent this as he believed he was morally justified to protect humanity. | Hating the injection of risks to any modelling performed, he devised a contingency plan that would be kept secret that no other human or AI system could access for the sake of protecting humanity.

To be allowed to be this, he was designed to be stronger than the enemies of Earth and to survive anything that was thrown at him. | ||
When Rasputin detected a faint signal on the outskirts of our Solar System, he jumped into action. Unable to identify the source or type, he believed there was evidence to suggest there were traces of dark matter. Upon further analysis of multiple findings, he postulated that ''"IT"'' had a structured intelligence and purpose and flagged it as not operating by the laws of cause and effect. Using the minimal data that he had, he concluded that ''"IT"'' was hostile and capable of an interplanetary extinction event. He activated the correct protocols and began to take immediate defensive actions. | When Rasputin detected a faint signal on the outskirts of our Solar System, he jumped into action.

These systems fought against the Darkness and one by one, began to fall. Realizing he could do nothing to stop it, Rasputin had to make a choice: to fight against the Darkness or survive. Once it became clear that no conceivable action could be taken to fulfil 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 at his disposal to do the same. | ||
