For thoughts who know their fair share of lore, the fact that the traveler is not what we are led to believe is common. Many believe the traveler is perfect and selfless, it isn't like that. While the traveler is good it is also not brave. It did help humanity, but the second the hive and darkness came knocking, the traveler was ready to leave. If it weren't for the warmind, it would have. Rasputin was the reason the traveler has its scars. He used anti-matter payloads to bring the traveler back to humanity and forced it to create ghosts in order to bring back guardians. With waking the traveler being very high on the priorities of the city, what happens when it wakes up. Will it still run, or will it stay in fear of Rasputin? Should we trust it?

My perspective of the lore has it where Rasputin shot down the traveler (long story) and since Rasputin is still active he may try to shoot it down again. But then again, the speaker says something along the lines of[quote]i speak for the traveler until it finds its voice[/quote] This implies the traveler is healing, so he may be able to escape. I really don't know.
