It is well known to even the lesser knowing Halo Lore followers that A.I.'s are forced in rampancy after roughly 7 years. Halo Legends did indeed reference Cortana slipping into this state, and we all visually witnessed her struggle when she was forced to deal with the gravemine.
We were all taken aback when we saw her again in the Halo 4 teaser trailer (some were just shocked by here looks!). I was wondering though- how, in regards to the much fluxing cannon, is she stable? Is it possible that Cortana is using the memory or computers onboard the ship to continue her existence? If that is the case, would she not be spell bound to the ship, in contrast to what we saw (Chief taking her away, without any signs [or time] to protest).
Finally, this makes me think that we may be dealing with one crazed and rampant Cortana, along with a new, albeit dangerous, threat. Thoughts?

New facts: Possible foreshadowing?
In Halo CE, Cortana once remarked to John that his layout was (no pun intended) remarkably like the Pillar of Autumn, to which John told her not to get any ideas. Now, if possible, couldn't she then take control or use John as extra space, or full out control? I know gameplay wise it wouldn't be any different, i.e. still hitting buttons and joysticks, but it would be interesting.
