The Vanguard would later set up a meeting with the other Coalition leaders, Zavala, Mithrax and Empress Caiatl, after Mara Sov gathered evidence on what may be Xivu Arath's true end goal: the War God wants the Guardians to restore the Warmind and allow him to smite her Wrathborn forces. The resulting destruction would not only feed her worm but it would fuel a spell powerful enough to open a portal over Earth and summon her armies to overwhelm humanity, just as she had accomplished on [[Torobatl]]. As such, Mara Sov believes that to prevent Xivu Arath's plan from coming to fruition, they must not restore Rasputin. Ana Bray, however, enters the meeting and voices her objections, citing that Rasputin is more than a weapon and points out that they need him to survive the Witness's return. Mara Sov compromises by proposing that instead of a victory over Xivu Arath, they create a stalemate with her by restoring the Warmind as Ana wants but he refrain from retaliating against the Wrathborn. Zavala and the others agree to the plan, having the Guardians continue in their mission in collecting submind data. | The Vanguard would later set up a meeting with the other Coalition leaders, Zavala, Mithrax and Empress Caiatl, after Mara Sov gathered evidence on what may be Xivu Arath's true end goal: the War God wants the Guardians to restore the Warmind and allow him to smite her Wrathborn forces.

Ultimately, the Guardians would be forced to act when Eramis, working alongside the Wrathborn despite her earlier failure, used her splicers to hack into the Seraph Station, gaining access to Rasputin's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol, the order that in the event the Traveler ever left humanity, the Warmind's Warsat arsenal would be turned against it. With no other option despite Ana's pleas, Rasputin states that their only hope is to activate his Aurora Sacrifice protocol, his self-destruct order for the entire Warsat network. With Rasputin's pillory engram in hand, the Guardians race to Seraph Station, encountering heavy resistance from Eramis's Salvation Fallen and the Wrathborn. Despite this, the Guardians make it to the command center and begin uploading Rasputin into the station but as they were doing so, the Traveler began to leave the Last City, appearing that it was abandoning Earth and humanity. Eramis, believing that the Great Machine is abandoning another civilization to save itself, successfully activated the ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE command but Rasputin managed to complete his sacrifice protocol before the Warsats could fire, thwarting Eramis's efforts. However, the Traveler ceased to move within Earth's outer atmosphere, causing the Vanguard to believe it is taking a stand against The Witness, as the Black Fleet had returned to the Sol System. | |||
