Since awakening, Rasputin has faced a number of direct threats to himself. [[Omnigul]] and the [[Spawn of Crota]] accessed the bunker through unknown means and [[Siege of the Warmind|attacked Rasputin]], either to destroy him or corrupt him for their own purposes, but were thwarted by the Guardian.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-12-9)''', ''Destiny: The Dark Below, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.</ref> Later, during the [[Taken War]], a group of [[Taken]] also penetrated Rasputin's bunker to prevent the Guardian from [[The Promethean Code|obtaining Golden Age stealth technology]]; while they did not damage or corrupt Rasputin, they had ample opportunity to do so. The bunker was breached a third time when the [[Fallen]] attempted to [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.|hijack Rasputin's systems]] using the modified [[Shank]] [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]], seeking to bypass the Warmind's security protocols and take control of his orbital weapon systems. Though S.A.B.E.R.-2 was ultimately destroyed, Rasputin again had to be rescued through the efforts of Guardians. | |||
Conceding that his bunker's defenses had failed too many times, Rasputin triggered the IKELOS subroutine, an initiative to provide advanced weaponry to the Guardians to aid them against the forces of the [[Darkness]]. The end result of IKELOS was the [[Sleeper Simulant]], a heavy [[fusion rifle]] with a unique core based on obsolete DVALIN FORGE fusion rifles that the Warminds had armed humanity with during the onset of the Collapse. The Sleeper Simulant represented a successful melding of Golden Age technology with contemporary designs and [[Banshee-44]]'s gunsmithing expertise. | Conceding that his bunker's defenses had failed too many times, Rasputin triggered the IKELOS subroutine, an initiative to provide advanced weaponry to the Guardians to aid them against the forces of the [[Darkness]].
