Should we really be arming Rasputin? (Possible Trap)

Let’s discuss whether we should be bringing Rasputin to full power, especially since we were teased with Osiris questioning Rasputin. We don’t know when that cutscene takes place, whether it was during Season of the Dawn or after Season of the Worthy when it’s too late. Osiris is clearly spooked and here we are bringing Rasputin back to full power with these bunker upgrades. I feel like it’s another situation where we’re being tricked just like we were in the Dreaming City. And before anyone states we need his help to stop the Almighty, how do we know he didn’t plan it this way and manipulate the Cabal into sending it to Earth so we’d [i]HAVE[/i] to power him up to repel it. He’s a super powerful Golden Age A.I. that has the potential to run rampant like in the Halo universe I just feel like we’re being set up for a betrayal and that we should let Rasputin be. Our hubris will be our downfall

    Well Osiris has been wrong. More then once. His arrogance in thinking he knows best isn’t something I fully trust. Even [i]if[/i] Rasputin tricked them (and waving your hands to make it magically so it’s a poor argument), what is the alternative now? None. Powering him up [i]might[/i] bite back but if we don’t then we are [i]dead[/i]. So clearly leaving him alone isn’t going to help us at all. Second...you do know Rasputin is the only one with first hand knowledge of the Darkness and Collapse? What [i]exactly[/i] went down. Our reluctance to power him up [i]would[/i] drive him to do something to push us to help him. If we can’t beat Worm Gods on our own, we [i]need[/i] him. For him to help us, he needs more power. So tricking us actually [i]can[/i] be for our own good.
