I don't think Cortana is rampant. Honestly, I think the UNSC is way to smart to have a field AI as smart as her have no safe-guard for rampancy. However, I do not think she is herself. If you remember in Halo 2, Gravemind had control of Penitent Tangent (among others). What's to say that the cutscene after the credits wasn't a hint?

In the aforementioned cutscene, Gravemind's tentacle reaches towards Cortana, like a probe. Asking questions is easy, but absorbing her info is much easier. I think that Cortana still has some controls (which is why she contacted Master Chief), but that Gravemind is speaking through her. Listen - during the announcement trailer, you hear Gravemind in her voice. This is most prominent as her lines end.

I'm open to theory. Maybe she is using Gravemind as a way of communicating? Who knows?

Well, perhaps Cortana was able to utilize High Charity's communication abilities, and what we heard was Gravemind talking to her, and her telling us what he's saying, in hopes that it will help us.
