Had managed to completed all of the requirements, except for one Sleeper Node and the Frigid Jackal sniper rifle. I did combine in some strange places, for example I had a couple successes combining in front of Spider - but any place I combined was useful for a short period.
Used a checklist to track my progress and got down to a single override frequency that was eluding me; Dynamo.Core.Brace. Since I was dismantling what wasn't useful, instead of going to each sleeper node, I wasn't gaining Braytech Schematics either.
At the suggestion of other players, using a youtube reference that showed Braytech Futurescape as a recommended spot but it also had limited results. I figured the best place to combine was in front of Rasputin himself.
So I suited up in Yuga Sundown gear with no exoctics. Loaded only Warmind Weapons, with a Sleeper since it was a Warmind weapon. Used a Ghost that was useful on Mars, it wasn't Warmind, but would have found an alternative had I noticed. Loaded a Warmind emblem, speeder, and ship. Even put a Warmind transmat on the ship (Worm God Incarnation).
I didn't load any quests or bounties, and killed all of the default baddies on my way to Rasputin. Opened the doors and stood at the podium before him; it took two attempts to get the remaining sleeper node I needed. The Warminded Emblem dropped after going to it.
The next day started with some casual bounty-chasing, and eventually changed my emblem to "Warminded" and went back down to Mars still wearing the same Warmind-focused gear. Went back to the same spot in front of Rasputin, combined and got a sleeper node in transit tunnel, traveled to it and was given a Braytech Schematic on the first try. Went to Ana and she immediately gave me the [b]Frigid Jackal[/b]. The Wayfarer triumph seal notification happened shortly after.
My time on Destiny is primarily weekends, but it appears that putting focus on completing 40 Sleeper Nodes and equipping Warmind stuff helped me greatly. I did burn through a lot of stems, estimate around 500 total.
Wondered if my Escalation Protocol events were all contributing factors, participated in many but don't know if it mattered.
Thanks to those of you who provided suggestions, even if you weren't sure it was helpful. Hope this helps others.

It's all RNG. I kept getting crap for the caves, and so, I just started building nodes inside the caves instead so I wouldn't get any to drop there. I then proceeded to investigate node descriptions that were unfamiliar to me since I was at 37/40.

The Spinfoil hat is strong with this one.

Hope you had fun, because none of that helped

All of what you did was pointless, just saying. Wearing Warmind gear doesn’t influence RNG.

Tldr Just collect the required items and compete the required activities.... Simple.

Good Story

Wow...wish you had posted earlier...would have saved me a lot of grinding...bet it was not wearing the emblem that was holding me back. 🤣🤣🤣
