"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." - James T Kirk

That was the name of a piece in composing worlds. In Filipino it means achievable/attainable/can be possessed.

So it got me thinking.

The last part of its definition is really interesting, "Can be possessed". If we take this literally what or who is being possesed? Well the obvious candidate would be Cortana.

"I will not. Allow you to leave. THIS PLANET!"

Look at her eyes when she's not yelling, look at them when they are. At the end they are gleaming white and she's not changing 'mood' because she's still blue.

That is not Cortana at the end, it's something else.

"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL"

I didn't like that part in the trailer. Just hot air. They probably make her "rampant" or something. Crazy -blam!- is ahead of us.

Yeah, she's beginning to deteriorate (as she herself suggests) and I guess rampancy/confusion is a result of that.

On another note, if she goes rampant in Halo 4, will she feature in the rest of the 'Reclaimer' Trilogy? Or were we perhaps given a peek at future games, with Cortana's impending rampancy being a key theme throughout the next few games?

Halo 4 is set in 2557, and I assume Cortana was put into service 2551/2 but I don't know.

The thing is Cortana changes color depending on her mood. She's still the same blue she is when she's not nuts. I don't think this is a design oversight because it's such an integral part of Cortana.

2557 - 8 = 2549.

Yeah I know, but note my curiosity as to whether her rampancy is in Halo 4 or perhaps later, as there's a whole two more games to be released and I wouldn't have thought they'd get rid of Cortana so quickly.

I was just answering your doubt about her age. In Dr. Halsey's diary it is said she was made in 2549, not to mention that in the Halo 4 gameplay video she says she's been 8 years on service.

cortana is becoming rampant, she has been in service for 8 years rampancy starts after 7 years.
