I think you inadvertently found the bunker where the AI Rasputin is housed. Why this conclusion, you ask? Two reasons: First - It's not a huge stretch of the imagination that "RAS" might be referring to Rasputin to begin with. Second - according to a Ukrainian colleague of mine, the names "Putin" and "Rasputin" are sometimes used in a word-play joke, which (very) loosely translates to: 1-putin 2-putin! Which leads me to believe "RAS-2" may be a nod to this word-play joke. Granted, Occam's razor suggests that the first reason is the most likely, however, given the importance of Old Russia so far, I wouldn't put it past Bungie to put in some subtle cultural references.

  • I think your 100% correct because on Mars in the Clovis Bray skyscraper (development of planetary defense and AI), there are doors that have the same style of writing as those in the RAS. 2 vault and guess who controls the AI in the skyscraper Rasputin,

  • But in the story aren't you going to the moon to look for Rasputin at the end of the Beta? Like the next mission is most definitely on the moon I recall, and I at least thought at the end of the last one your ghost was telling you that you needed to go find it. I could be wrong and probably am.

  • Couldn't be that there is also a RAS-1 bunker elsewhere?? I mean you know, bunker #1, bunker #2 etc. Most govt/military bases would probably use a basic numbering system....Idk
