Rasputin’s prime directive is to protect Humanity from all threats, both current and future. The SIDDHARTHA GOLEM (Felwinter) was created to observe Humanity, walking around under Rasputin’s control with vast stores of information rattling around in its head. Information that includes the means of utilizing Rasputin’s various weapons of mass destruction (the Valkyrie, Aurora Knives, etc.). This construct was lost to Rasputin some time during the collapse. Rasputin watched as the Traveler sent out its Ghosts, resurrecting the dead. Many of these Risen went on to prey on what was left of the scattered survivors, putting their own desires above the good of mankind. Then Rasputin noticed the GOLEM had suddenly reactivated, empowered by the Traveler’s light. He tried to reassert control over it, and failed. A walking, talking being with access to what had previously been the most destructive weapons mankind had ever known. What if it proved to be as predatory as these so called Warlords? If it turned these doomsday devices against the very people Rasputin was programmed to protect at all costs? And so he issued the order ABSALOM KNIFE to destroy the GOLEM. He drops Warsats on it. Sends Frames to destroy it. All to no avail. But he sees the GOLEM is searching his Bunkers for something. And so Rasputin lures it in with promises of one of the greatest technologies ever. And he reprograms that tech, SIVA, to do what he has failed to accomplish. He doesn’t do it out of pettiness. He does it because he [u]literally[/u] has no choice but to do so. It is his programming. It is his duty. [quote]"And weep the more, because I weep in vain."[/quote] (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)
