'''Understanding of Darkness'''<br>

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.

**'''AURORA SACRIFICE''' – Rasputin's self-destruct sequence, a protocol invoked to delete all Rasputin systems and destroy all Warsats. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjeNGkyEY2I Destiny 2: The Witch Queen - Season 19 Ending Cutscene]</ref>

**'''AURORA PALISADE''' – a protocol invoked to protect Rasputin's core from attacks in Hellas Basin.

*'''CARRHAE''' – an emergency condition which Rasputin may declare to assume command of all Solar System defenses. The two states may be based on humanity being outnumbered vs not.

**'''CARRHAE BLACK''' – an emergency condition in which the Solar System faces an internal threat, like Rasputin's systems being hijacked by a hostile entity/force.

*'''IKELOS''' – a new subroutine created by Rasputin to leverage Guardians to aid in his defense while '''MIDNIGHT EXIGENT''' proceeds. Utilizing the '''DVALIN FORGE-2''' subroutine, '''IKELOS''' is designed to maximize the effectiveness of allied Guardians by arming them with advanced Golden Age technology weapons, including [[Sleeper Simulant|upscaled fusion rifles]].

**'''APOTHEOSIS''' – a subroutine associated with the '''IKELOS''' subroutine and the development of new '''IKELOS''' weaponry; purpose unknown.

*'''TWILIGHT EXIGENT''' – a counterattack protocol and moral structure change under which all humans are assumed dead without Warmind intervention. This protocol prioritizes maximising survival of the human species over minimizing harm to individuals.

*'''MIDNIGHT EXIGENT''' – a long-term counterattack protocol and moral structure change. All systems enter a period of extended deactivation in an effort to survive and later devise a countermeasure for an overwhelming threat. The protocol seemingly allows Rasputin to ignore his responsibility to protect human populations in favor of taking any measures deemed necessary to ensure his own survival. As of [[The Guardian]] slaying [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], '''MIDNIGHT EXIGENT''' is still in-progress.<ref name="SleeperD2">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sleeper Simulant]]''</ref>

*'''ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE''' – a last-resort measure aimed at preventing the Traveler from leaving Earth during a major calamity by crippling it with his Warsats. Rasputin devised this protocol in secret from his human overseers. This protocol was almost activated during the Collapse, but Rasputin aborted it as Ana was able to convince him to stop. This protocol is a modification of an earlier version created by [[Clovis Bray]] that was intended to destroy the Traveler, to allow him to replace it with Rasputin.

**'''LOKI CROWN''' – The original version of '''ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE''' devised by Clovis Bray. Rasputin would fire all available caedometric weaponry, including the Warsats at the Traveler to completely destroy it.

*'''SCRY OVERSIGHT''' – an observation protocol.

**'''SILENT VELES''' – an event mode of '''SCRY OVERSIGHT''', possibly signifying that Rasputin will keep his existence a secret from the target of '''SCRY OVERSIGHT''' observation.

*'''SIBERIAN ENTROPY''' – a protocol used to freeze the entirety of [[Hellas Basin]], and by extension, the [[Grasp of Nokris]] and [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]].

*'''SIDDHARTHA GOLEM''' – an [[Exo]] body developed from [[Deep Stone Crypt]] for Rasputin to learn human experiences. Was deemed rogue after it was [[Risen]] to become [[Felwinter]] and subjected to termination under '''ABSALOM KNIFE'''.

*'''TEILHARD: TRAUMATIC CONTEXT''' – an event category; purpose unknown.

*'''VOLUSPA''' – a counterattack protocol. It was activated concurrently with '''YUGA'''.

**'''DVALIN FORGE-2''' – a modification of the original '''DVALIN FORGE''' subroutine designed to be compatible with '''MIDNIGHT EXIGENT'''.

*'''YUGA''' – a counterattack protocol. It was activated concurrently with VOLUSPA.

**'''YUGA ECLIPSE''' – a condition which is currently unknown.<ref name="unsecured/OUTCRY">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)]] PC, Activision Blizzard, [[Unsecured/OUTCRY]]''</ref>

*'''GALATEA REFLEXIVE''' – a subroutine that creates new protocols in the event a request to activate an existing protocol is denied. '''MIDNIGHT EXIGENT''' must be suspended to utilize this subroutine.

*'''NAGLFAR STEP''' – unknown.<ref name="unsecured/OUTCRY"/>

*'''KALKI GOLEM''' – unknown.<ref name="unsecured/OUTCRY"/>

**This is further supported in Beyond Light as the Exo Stranger was revealed to be Elsie Bray.

*During the adventure Arecibo on Io, the ghost asks Asher if he is picking up anything on channel J-1869. Grigori Rasputin was born in January 1869.

*Rasputin builds his own Frames which appeared in [[Season of the Worthy]] and a modified version called Heavy Frames which were present during the Seraph Tower public event. These frames show up again the the Abhorrent Imperative mission in Season of the Seraph.

*After the death of Rasputin in Season of the Seraph, in one of the Heist Battlegrounds missions, Ana states that a piece of Rasputin lives on in the dog that the Guardian retrieved from Seraph Station.
