The Guardian, Pillory Engram in hand, fought their way back into the Orbital Command Nexus and inserted Rasputin into the Station. As this was happening, Eramis prepared to fire the Warsats at the Traveler, who unexpectedly rose higher into the sky above the Last City, seemingly in preparation to leave, as the residents of the city looked up in fear and uncertainty. As it reached low orbit, however, the Traveler came to a stop. As the Warsats power up and prepare to fire at the Traveler, Rasputin activates the AURORA SACRIFICE protocol, destroying himself and the entire Warsat network. | The Guardian, Pillory Engram in hand, fought their way back into the Orbital Command Nexus and inserted Rasputin into the Station.

After Rasputin's sacrifice, the Guardian arrived at the HELM to receive a message from Ana Bray. She said that she had been thinking of Rasputin as a way to unlock the secrets of her past, in order to find out who she was, but in the end, she realized that Rasputin chose to be more than that, refusing to be what everyone else wanted him to be and choosing to be what he wanted to be. Ana realized that Rasputin had been family to her, and that because of him she knew who she was, and who she wanted to be. | |||
After ending the transmission, the Guardian went to the now-dormant Exo Frame to receive one last message from Rasputin. In the message, Rasputin told the Guardian that if they are receiving this message, that meant that he had died and that he hoped his sacrifice wasn’t in vain. He informed the Guardian that although they may have survived this latest threat, there was still trouble on the horizon. Rasputin told them that the Neptunian city Osiris saw in his visions was real, and that there was an artifact called "the Veil", an object of immense power and somehow connected to the Traveler, inside of this city. He stated that all other files regarding this location, codenamed "Nefele Stronghold", were deleted by an unknown party, and that the information had been found in the files the Guardian retrieved from the Cosmodrome. Rasputin had taken the liberty of decrypting these files for Osiris, asking the Guardian to tell Osiris to consider it a gift "from one old miser to another." | After ending the transmission, the Guardian went to the now-dormant Exo Frame to receive one last message from Rasputin.

Before the message ended, Rasputin left the Guardian with one last piece of wisdom. He told them that Ana was afraid that she had forgotten to teach Rasputin to trust, but he entrusts this knowledge to the Guardian, calling them his Seraph. In his parting words, Rasputin says that Earth no longer needed him, as all they needed was each other. | Before the message ended, Rasputin left the Guardian with one last piece of wisdom.

Though Rasputin was fully destroyed with the AURORA SACRIFICE protocol, his actions led to the discovery of [[Neomuna]], along with a [[Hierarchy of Needs|device]] retrieved by the Guardian months earlier which now contains what remains of [[Soteria]].<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/hierarchy-of-needs</ref> | |||
