I don't think the traveler cares about humanity (/-/ Rampant Speculation /-/)

It could just be that the anti-grav units on the intact side work better and so the Traveler orients that way by default. The traveler could have had shielding that failed catastrophically at one point and suffered the long term damage described in the "pearl" Alpha Lupi card, and then floated down to the point on Earth where it sits now.

Whatever automatic defense systems are still operational as a survival reflex, allowing survivors to build the city underneath as humans are seen as allies still.

I prefer to think that the City is one of the last bunkers of humanity, that it's location isn't random happenstance, and this is the scene of the Traveler's epic last stand.

Rasputin gave up, yet somehow the Darkness was defeated or at least stalemated. There is an awesome story there waiting to be told.
