You may RP as Rasputin, but be sensible. He is a rational AI. No 'rocks fall, everyone dies.' (I didnt play Rasputin just to blow shit up for no reason. He persues his own agenda, and does not concern himself with the city. He has acted like this before, testing the capabilities of remaining orbital defences on mars in the midst of a battle between the Cabal and the Vex. In this instance, he detected a cabal scout ship very close to his base of operations, and estimated that they were probably there to destroy or disable him. Thusly, he destroyed the ship as a warning, and activated orbit to ground point defences for his bunker to keep agressors out. He acted in defence of himself, and would only do so again in responce to assaults on stategic assets, or overwhelming enemy forces, not in defence of the city or the guardians.

Also, people either forget or dont know that Rasputin still has control of a functional array of orbital doomsday weapons across the inner system. I assume that he would only use them in a situation like this: to counter a large and agressive threat to himself, such as a fully armed and manned Cabal criuser.)
