I thought the main theory was that the Traveller didn't choose to stay and fight, but was crippled by Rasputin when it tried to flee. So it was left with no other choice than to fight. Then once the fight ended the Traveller figured since it wasn't going to make it out of there it would throw out the ace up its sleeve, the ghosts.

Per the folks on the Ghost Stories Destiny Podcast, that was Rasputin's contingency plan. It's unknown whether or not he actually had to cripple the Traveler, though.

Ooohh

Actually you are right. I went and looked at the grim and it seems Rasputin takes out the Traveler then he has no choice but to fight.

Don't think this is accurate but I could be wrong. I think if you read the grim the traveler chose to stay and fight feeling this was it's best chance. But hard to say it doesn't talk to us. After the battle it was crippled and couldn't leave so it sent the ghosts to create the guardians feeling they were it's only hope at surviving and being repaired.

The Grimoire supports both. Apparently The Traveler ran, but then "ran back" to aid Humanity. But Rasputin stopped it from running away as well. Maybe it tried to leave again and was stopped. Hence why its stuck hovering over the last city

Its not clear at all , but from a moral point of view the theory of him trying to leave was never 1 i supported. It would make the traveller and humanity less special. I am convinced the Exos made the contingency plan ( in their moral weakness) but the traveller decided to stay and saw something special in humanity. The fact that this story was confirmed by Bungie supports my thesis.
