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.

As the Black Fleet made its approach toward Earth, Rasputin attempted to contain potentially dangerous data about the Darkness that was discovered by Dr.[[Shanice Pell]] at the [[New Pacific Arcology]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. He dispatched an [[Exo]] team led by [[Morgan-2]] to contain the data by taking Pell and her staff into custody along with their research.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Last_Days_on_Kraken_Mare#Faces_Like_Shields|Last Days on Kraken Mare - Faces Like Shields]]''</ref> However, Administrator [[Mia van der Venne]] believed Rasputin was overstepping his authority by denying the scientists a choice about what to do with the data, and subtly warned Pell to evacuate alongside the rest of the moon's population as the Black Fleet closed in. Unable to contain Pell's discovery peacefully, Rasputin destroyed the ship carrying the scientists with a [[Warsat]], invoking the TWILIGHT EXIGENT protocol to justify lethal force on humans.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Last_Days_on_Kraken_Mare#Kalki.27s_Burning_Sword.2C_Part_II|Last Days on Kraken Mare - Kalki's Burning Sword, Part II]]''</ref> | As the Black Fleet made its approach toward Earth, Rasputin attempted to contain potentially dangerous data about the Darkness that was discovered by Dr.[[Shanice Pell]] at the [[New Pacific Arcology]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]].

During the Collapse, the [[Worm God]] [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], accompanied by his herald [[Nokris]] and their revenant [[Grasp of Nokris|followers]] attempted to conquer Mars by burrowing deep into the planet's crust to corrupt its core. In response, Rasputin initiated the "SIBERIAN ENTROPY" protocol, which flash-froze the entire [[Hellas Basin]] landscape in a matter of days and trapped the [[Hive]] and Xol beneath it. | During the Collapse, the [[Worm God]] [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], accompanied by his herald [[Nokris]] and their revenant [[Grasp of Nokris|followers]] attempted to conquer Mars by burrowing deep into the planet's crust to corrupt its core.
