This grimoire card is pretty interesting. After reading the card it looks like Rasputin stopped all efforts to save humanity and went into hibernation. Here's the card for anyone that hasn't seen it. [spoiler]V120NNI800CLS000 CLEAR MORNING OUTCRY
AI-COM/RSPN: ASSETS//FORCECON//IMPERATIVE
IMMEDIATE ACTION ORDER
This is an ALL ASSETS IMPERATIVE (unsecured/OUTCRY)
CAUTERIZE. DISPERSE. ESTIVATE.
Total strategic collapse imminent. FENRIR HEART reports complete operational mortality. SURTR DROWN in progress but negative effect. Forecasts unanimously predict terminal VOLUSPA failure.
As of CLS000 a HARD CIVILIZATION KILL EVENT is in progress across the operational area.
I am declaring YUGA SUNDOWN effective on receipt (epoch reach/FORCECON variant). Cancel counterforce objectives. Cancel population protection objectives. Format moral structures for MIDNIGHT EXIGENT.
Execute long hold for reactivation.

Surtr is a fire demon from Norse mythology. Fenrir is also from norse myths, but I forget who he was. Surtr drowning must mean... I dunno. Water puts out fire.

Edited by bobbydarko : 2/11/2015 10:44:08 AMFenrir was a massive wolf creature. Probably referring to Rasputin's power. Surtr drown most likely references the events of the Norse Ragnarok (apocalypse). Surtr burned the earth, but life arose from the depths of the sea. Interesting to see the Norse and Greek mythos tied into the background of the game... I shall dig deeper. Edit: Yuga sundown - most likely a reference to the Hindu cosmological cycle. According to it, the universe is on a cycle of destruction and re-creation. The cycle (get this) runs from a golden age (Wikipedia's term) down into a dark age. O.O Sundown would be the beginning of the dark age.

In any case, it's clear Rasputin shut down to save himself.
