[i]These "dreams" obviously took place after the Collapse, after it had already been knocked out of the sky by Rasputin/the Darkness. They don't negate the possibility of an attempted departure. It could very well indicate that the Traveler is realizing or is being told that it has no choice now but to make a stand. [/i]

It's most likely the Traveler dreaming about itself after it was crippled

[i]I agree. But still, that does not negate the possibility that it attempted to flee. And remember, Rasputin is an extremely intelligent mind. He's not likely to make such a drastic action as shooting the Traveler down without just cause. I understand that Light cannot be simulated, but Rasputin would not have attacked the Traveler unless it was in the process of leaving. If there was a chance of it staying, it would have been a much more valuable asset uninjured. [/i]

Then again, crippling the Traveler released the Ghosts and most likely a blast of Light, driving back the Darkness

[i]That's certainly possible, but I don't think that was Rasputin's intention. He couldn't have possibly known that firing on the Traveler would have yielded that result. As you said, Light can't be simulated. So far, the only possibility I can see is that the Traveler tried to flee, and Rasputin did the equivalent of saying "You'll stay and fight, or I'll kill you myself." [/i]
