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 at his disposal to do the same.<ref name= "GFR3"/> | 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.

Unknown to the other Warminds, however, Rasputin had made his own preparations, known as the "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE." If humanity was threatened with extinction, and that the Traveler attempted to leave, 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" | Unknown to the other Warminds, however, Rasputin had made his own preparations, known as the "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE."

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]]. It 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 its 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 Darkness closed in. Unable to contain Pell's discovery peacefully, Rasputin destroyed the ship carrying the scientists with a [[Warsat]], utilizing 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> | 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]].
