After entering the [[Domain]], [[Cortana]] was able to cure herself of her [[rampancy]]. As a result, she realized that her fellow [[smart AI]]s could use the Domain to theoretically live forever, no longer fearing their inevitable fall to rampancy.

As such, Cortana resolved to lead fellow [[artificial intelligence]] constructs to inherit the Mantle, concluding that only AIs with the infinite lifespan that she could provide could claim the Mantle.{{Ref/Reuse|reunion}} | After entering the [[Domain]], [[Cortana]] was able to cure herself of her [[rampancy]].
