EDIT: I AM TALKING ABOUT THE BUSINESS REASON FOR BUNGIE TO DO THIS, NOT THE LORE REASON.
WE GET IT. You people at bungie killed off SIVA, so it’s dead. WHAT WE DON’T UNDERSTAND IS WHY. Same thing for Rasputin and Warmind stuff - WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU REMOVE ALL THAT? SIVA and Warmind stuff are the ONLY things appealing to certain people such as myself who love the “Tech” aesthetic. Do you people at Bungie seriously not understand that? I HATED it when Rasputin died. I was RIDICULOUSLY excited for Season of the Seraph, only to find out that my favourite and the coolest character in the game is being killed off by Bungie, MAKING THE ENTIRE WARMIND AESTHETIC UNUSABLE EVER AGAIN. Ditto for SIVA - no more SIVA weapons, ever again. No more IKELOS weapons, ever again. No more stuff like Hierarchy of Needs either. Now, in Heliostat, there are pointless voice lines repeating that SIVA is dead. Not to mention, you keep putting us into abandoned Warmind facilities for ZERO REASON. It feels like you people are laughing at us, assuming we don’t understand and rubbing in our faces that you want us NOT to enjoy the lore. When I heard about Heliostat, i was hoping, PRAYING that the new Warmind- themed exotic mission would show us recieving one last weapon from Rasputin or making something with SIVA. Nope. So why is it EVEN IN A WARMIND FACILITY, IN THE PLAGUELANDS? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF BRINGING PLAGUELANDS BACK AT ALL? Bungie has a serious problem with removing ANYTHING PEOPLE ENJOY from the lore. I just wish i understood WHY they did this. We want the REASON, not “HAHA, YOUR FAVOURITE STUFF IS ALL DEAD.”

They said the strangers story was wrapped up in d1. People threw a fit thinking she wouldn't be back. Always cracked me up, they said end, and it was like the Internet showed how innocent it can be. So you're a techie. Rasputin can think superluminal, is to think of solutions alongside humans, understands mortality of humanity through son, and is essentially in a quantum state. So maybe, he thought of a solution. This ASI, it's like looking into its thoughts on how to save humanity.
