I don't really know what you are asking or contesting, but this is what is happening (as much as we can know): -Rasputin's only objective is to keep humanity live at costs. Even if it kills them, humanity [i]will survive[/i]. -Rasputin is the harshest Queen in the triumvirate of power in this specific instance. His rule is harshest, and his people are not happy, but he [i]will[/i] survive. -After the Golden Age stuff with the pre-guardians that hated him, Rasputin began preparing a fail safe. In the event that the Traveler was not the altruist he pretended to be, Rasputin wanted a backup plan. -Raspy took the Exos over from Clovis Bray I's operation. Converting Clovis Bray I's Exos into war machines. (It is ironic, the only eternal in the Destiny ideology is the struggle. It started with wanting immortality, and that meant forever war). -Darkness shows up and Raspy kind of blames the Traveler. He lowers the orbital defence system, killing billions, to learn how the Darkness works. Now he can win. -Here is where Destiny (us being revived in Russia) starts. Raspy is largely dark, doing his shady Rasputin stuff. -Exo Stranger surfaces, Raspy is looking into what he learned about the Darkness (Most likely sword logic and how everything connects) -Rasputin sees the same thing FWC does, every known reality will lose to war. Except one. One reality exists where war was not the best option in the universal struggle (the Toland's journal entry about Atom v primordial broth) -Rasputin talks to the Exo Stranger. He wants to learn how to step between timelines like she can (currently the Vex and Osiris can do this, too) -We now know Rasputin's motives. He wants to evacuate this universe, saving humanity. This is a little different from Osiris's plan to save our universe by defeating the Darkness, or the Speaker's plan of doing nothing extraordinary besides banning the greatest minds and all of us dying.
