monitors would even kill their creators to save their rings.
This is a very good point, one that I forgot. During the battle of the Capitol when the Forerunners are trying to blow the Halos up to stop them from firing, their defense mechanisms force them to turn against the Forerunners and start attacking.
So what reason is there for 343 Guilty Spark to be rampant? This scenario is pretty much the same as what happens in Cryptum where significant structures are threatened with complete destruction (in this case, a Halo and the Lesser Ark), but because 343GS attacks Johnson, Chief and Thel to prevent this he's rampant?
Spark has been descending into rampancy for the last 100,000 years. Just watch the CEA terminals. It's clear that his isolation is screwing with him.
Remember, he's based on an organic mind, and we humans can go crazy after prolonged periods of isolation.
But that doesn't affect his reaction at the end of Halo 3... In Halo CE he turns against the Chief for the exact same reason, but now that he's actually succeeded in killing someone (Johnson) it apparently means he's rampant as a result of this when it's actually protocol which "dictates my response".
Spark turned on John in Halo 1 because he refused to activate the ring. I don't think he knew about his plan to destroy it until the last level. Still, you're pretty much right. But take into account his "last time you asked me..." line, and it's clear that he's confusing John with another Forerunner.
He started guessing that john would refuse to activate ring, which would lead to massive flood infestation aswell as flood would be able to leave the halo because of the ships near halo.
That already brakes his protocoles and is enough to take serious action.
