*'''[[Mendicant Bias|05-032 Mendicant Bias]]''', a Forerunner [[ancilla]] charged with studying and combating the [[Flood]] was eventually [[logic plague|corrupted]] by a [[Gravemind]] and confirmed rampant. He commanded Flood [[fleet]]s against the Forerunner until he was [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere|defeated]] by another AI, [[Offensive Bias]], who split his compound mind into fragments. One fragment was imprisoned at [[Installation 00|the Ark]] and another was put on a [[Keyship]]. Mendicant Bias' Keyship was discovered by the [[San'Shyuum]] and was kept in the ship until [[2525]], when it detected [[Reclaimer]]s. Having spent approximately 100,000 years in isolation, Mendicant Bias had returned to a stable state, and later even assisted the Reclaimers against the Flood during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2552]].<ref> | *'''[[Mendicant Bias|05-032 Mendicant Bias]]''', a Forerunner [[ancilla]] charged with studying and combating the [[Flood]] was eventually [[logic plague|corrupted]] by a [[Gravemind]] and confirmed rampant.

*'''[[343 Guilty Spark]]''', the [[monitor]] of [[Installation 04]], demonstrated symptoms of rampancy during his 100,000 years of isolation on the ring. Over time, he attempted to diminish the effects by fragmenting his personality and memory,{{Ref/Reuse|pri372}} but a certain degree of instability was evident when he was encountered by [[John-117]] in [[2552]]. Spark was known to hum absent-mindedly, even in the heat of battle, and evidently mistook the Master Chief for the Forerunner known as the [[IsoDidact]]. | *'''[[343 Guilty Spark]]''', the [[monitor]] of [[Installation 04]], demonstrated symptoms of rampancy during his 100,000 years of isolation on the ring.

However, when [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Avery Johnson]] insisted on activating Installation 08 before it was fully constructed (which would result in the destruction of both the ring and [[Installation 00|the Ark]]), Spark attacked him and his compatriots, declaring that protocol dictated that he protect his installation at all costs. Guilty Spark was then apparently destroyed by the [[John-117|Master Chief]].{{Ref/Reuse|h3halo}} However, Spark survived and recovered from his rampancy with the locked away memories of [[Chakas|his past]] returning.{{Ref/Novel|Pri}} Spark subsequently went on to join the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' crew and to become the caretaker of the [[Bastion]] [[shield world]].{{Ref/Novel|Ren}}{{Ref/Novel|PoL}} | ||

*'''[[000 Tragic Solitude]]''', the monitor of [[Installation 00]], also showed signs of rampancy.

It once claimed to be "one with the Ark".{{Ref/Novel|HitD|Page=231}} The damage to the Ark that resulted from Installation 08's premature firing set Solitude on its path for vengeance. Solitude planned to activate the Halo Array so it could repair the Ark. While the firing of the Array was only a means to an end to the monitor, Solitude believed the galaxy would be better off if all the hostile species in it were wiped out. However, he was destroyed by [[Bobby Kodiak]] before he could succeed.{{Ref/Novel|HitD}} | ||
