*'''[[Cortana]]''', the [[UNSC]] AI originally of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, was captured by the Flood during the [[Battle of Installation 05]] in [[2552]]. Trapped on the infested [[Covenant]] station ''[[High Charity]]'', Cortana was gradually corrupted by the Gravemind in an attempt to use her against her makers. She briefly descended into rampancy (as depicted in a message she sent to the [[Master Chief]] saying, "I am a monument to all your sins," as the [[Gravemind]] described. She was quickly rescued by the Master Chief. She resumed her normal state after her rescue, possibly becoming Metastable.<ref name="Cortana"/> Another sign of her being in the early stages of Rampancy is when she begins to lose focus as she stored all the data on the [[Forerunners]] from [[Installation 04]], being overworked and noted as being 'easily agitated'.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>This was also noticeable by a change in her color from a dark purple to a more red-pink mixture in the Control Room of Installation 04, though this could simply be a result of using Halo's Control Room holograph projector. It is unknown how she was able to revert back to her normal state. In [[Origins]] Cortana says she starts to feel the effects of Rampancy after nearly seven years of existence. | *'''[[Cortana]]''', the [[UNSC]] AI originally of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, was captured by the Flood during the [[Battle of Installation 05]] in [[2552]].

*'''[[Mack]]''', the Agricultural Operations AI for planet [[Harvest]], was slightly rampant before the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. He became fully rampant after [[PSI]] Loki fragmented Sif, whom he loved. After the Tiara was balanced and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] escaped, a Covenant Warship began glassing the planet. An ONI [[Prowler]] recorded his last transmission, which hinted strongly at his rampancy. | *'''[[Mack]]''', the Agricultural Operations AI for planet [[Harvest]], was slightly rampant before the [[First Battle of Harvest]].
