They've definitely retconned their own story. I am 99.98% sure that Rasputin was the one that stopped the traveller from leaving.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't read anything about "the traveler decided to expand its light to drive back the darkness and that's why it's stuck in our solar system."
The traveler only sent out ghosts to "help us" after Rasputin crippled it so that the Traveler only had two options, send out ghosts to develop a defensive army, or die when the darkness arrived.

I read through Rasputin 3 again. Is it saying that Rasputin caused a mass casualty event? Or is if saying it is activating protocols because the casualty event is happening?

The darkness/deeps attack on humanity is the extinction level event. The traveler tries to flee, and Rasputin sucker punches it to force it to stay and fight in a pseudo-altruistic manner.

Edited by bobswerski: 8/27/2016 3:11:11 AMRasputin is shutting down because the battle (against the Deep, presumably) is hopeless and he hopes to save himself for a future time in which it might be able to be won. He talks about it a little in Mysteries 1.
