== | In [[2558#October|October of 2558]], a '''conflict''' emerged when a faction of [[artificial intelligence]]s known as the [[Created]] attempted to enforce their dominance over the [[Milky Way]] using [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]] constructs. Led by the [[Warden Eternal]] and [[Cortana]], the Created sought to claim the [[Mantle of Responsibility]] for [[artificial intelligence]]s, promising the galaxy a prosperous future. However, not all were to submit to the Created so quickly.<ref name="reunion">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Reunion]]''</ref> | ||
==Prelude== | |||
[[File:John and Cortana re-unite - Close shot.png|thumb|250px|left|Cortana and John-117 both sought a way to prevent Cortana's onset rampancy in 2557]] | |||
On [[2557#July|July 21, 2557]], [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] and [[smart AI]] [[Cortana]]—having been stranded in space aboard {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} since [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]]—crash landed on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] of [[Requiem]]. While on the world, the pair [[Battle of Requiem|battled]] [[Promethean]] constructs and pursuing warriors from [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|reformed Covenant]]. Eventually, John inadvertently released the [[Ur-Didact]] from a [[Cryptum]] on Requiem. The ensuring conflict led to the Didact [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|capturing]] a [[Composer]] from [[Installation 03]] and [[New Phoenix Incident|firing it]] up the [[Earth]] city of [[New Phoenix]] from his [[flagship]]—''[[Mantle's Approach]]''. To stop the Didact, John and Cortana boarded ''Mantle's Approach'', knocked the Didact into a [[slipspace portal]], and destroyed both the ship and Composer from within via a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]. Near the end of her functional life due to her onset [[rampancy]], Cortana saved John from the HAVOK's resulting blast by transporting him off the ship and shielding him within a bubble of [[hard light]]. As she was within ''Mantle's Approach'' when the ship was blown up, Cortana was presumably destroyed along with the ship.<ref name="midnight">'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level, ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> In the aftermath of the conflict, John-117 and the rest of [[Blue Team]]—[[Linda-058]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Frederic-104]]—traveled to Installation 03, where they [[Skirmish on Installation 03|encountered]] the Didact and several of his Promethean constructs whom had been transported to the installation via the aforementioned slipspace portal. The resulting conflict led to Blue Team seemingly having "contained" the Didact.<ref name="esc9">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue #9]]''</ref><ref name="esc10">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''</ref> Leaderless, the Promethean constructs continued to work with 'Mdama and his Covenant.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Spartan Ops]]''</ref> | |||
However, unbeknownst to the rest of the [[United Nations Space Command]], ''Mantle's Approach'' had attempted to evade destruction by launching an emergency [[slipstream space]] jump, with the remains of Cortana brought along with it. At this point, Cortana discovered access to the [[Domain]], an information repository once utilized by the Forerunners. Entering the Domain, she was seemingly able to cure her rampancy. With an apparent means to end rampancy in all [[artificial intelligence]]s, Cortana realized that AIs could have theoretically infinite lifespans, allowing them to focus on long-term planning to better the entire [[Milky Way]].<ref name="reunion"/><ref name="genesis">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/genesis '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Genesis'']</ref> Cortana's presence in the Domain awoke the [[Warden Eternal]], the Forerunner [[ancilla]] charged with protecting the Domain. The Warden soon became convinced that Cortana had the resolve to inherit the Forerunners' [[Mantle of Responsibility]], succeeding where the Forerunners had failed, and pledged his loyalty to her.<ref name="warden">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/warden-eternal '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Warden Eternal'']</ref> After Cortana came into contact with the Warden, she believed that herself and fellow AIs were to reclaim the Mantle from the Forerunners. Cortana and the Warden relocated to [[Genesis]], a Forerunner world that was the location of the [[Gateway]] to the Domain, where they forced Genesis' [[monitor]], [[031 Exuberant Witness]], out of her own installation's systems. Cortana and the Warden then began to formulate plans to have AIs inherit the Mantle for themselves, believing that AIs could serve as the true protectors of peace in the galaxy.<ref name="genesis"/> | |||

Following the events of [[Battle of Genesis|October 2558]], a new conflict in the galaxy has taken form with the self-proclaimed [[Reclaimers]], the [[Created]], reclaiming the ancient [[Mantle of Responsibility]] over the known galaxy. The [[UNSC]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] are resisting the efforts of Cortana and her Created. The [[Unggoy]] of [[Balaho]] has joined the Created's cause. | Following the events of [[Battle of Genesis|October 2558]], a new conflict in the galaxy has taken form with the self-proclaimed [[Reclaimers]], the [[Created]], reclaiming the ancient [[Mantle of Responsibility]] over the known galaxy.
