Also interesting to note: Ghost fragment Rasputin 6 shows Rasputin detecting the iron lords and authorizing siva use to kill them. After he also doesn't reset his moral structures and states to target Guardians it seems.
Rasputin not resetting moral structures aka no care for life: [quote]Query: Re-engage population protection objectives. (N) Query: Reset moral structures. (N) Query: Activate defense subroutine AURORA RETROFLEX. (Y)

Ras targeting iron lords: [quote]SITE 6 has been breached by unauthorized users with [O] energy. I am invoking PALISADE IMPERATIVE. [O] lifeforms in restricted areas will be suppressed.
SIVA use authorized. Self-destructs disengaged. Security codes reset. All defenses activated. Frames activated.
REPLICATE. ELIMINATE. IMMUNIZE.
.....
SITE 6 secure. Restoring reactivation protocols. Activating SCRY OVERSIGHT. Target [O] lifeforms. Event mode set to SILENT VELES.
[/quote]the last section shows he plans to target [O] life forms which is commonly believed to represent Guardians.

Something I find interesting is, in one of the Taken King missions, the hard mode of "The Promethean Code" you can scan one computer screen and your Ghost comments on how Rasputin was awoken. I think when Timur was searching for SIVA, he awoken Rasputin and inadvertently begun all this trouble.

And we know from sleeper simulant that ras is still in midnight Exigent today. Which is why I haven't made a post yet on why Rasputin attacked the iron lords. If he is operating under the same moral structure when we found him as he was with the iron lords, why didn't he attack us? I haven't found/seen a clear explanation other than opinion yet

From what we've seen, RAS has always allowed us into his bunker through one of two possible entrances - one under the Forgotten Shore, and the Mine. If we were to gain unsolicited access in into Bunker War-4 (or other "classified" areas), I feel that our fates would be undoubtedly similar to that of most of the Iron Lords. We were only given access to the Replication Chamber because there was an infestation of Devil Splicers, and we have proven ourselves to RAS as "worthy" in the past.
