Rampancy

Line 49:

In [[2547]], Halsey ran an unsanctioned private experiment on implementing her theoretical system by using the decommissioned [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] of the {{UNSCShip|Tripping Light}}. She used a stolen [[Slipstream space probe]] to launch an AI seed designated H-7 into a slipspace rift opened by the drive. The AI began to grow at a rate described by Halsey as "beyond exponential", appearing to be instantaneous. Though her own experience was disrupted by what appeared to be temporal anomalies in the presence of the unshielded drive, Halsey managed to receive garbled data from the AI. Her logic/mathematics scriber tests confirmed the AI was fully functional with all rampancy indicators showing negative. Throughout its communication, the AI produced strange conclusions, insights and comments regarding humanity, Covenant, as well as other intelligences in the "mist", with its voice communications quickly growing increasingly nonsensical. The AI's final communication burst was a set of incomprehensible mathematical equations. With her contact with the probe terminated, Halsey had no way of knowing what had happened to the AI, hoping it would be dead as it had become irretrievable.<ref name="experiment">'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal''', ''September 4, 2547'' (Excised leaves: [[:File:Halsey's Journal excised leaf 1.png|1]], [[:File:Halsey's Journal excised leaf 2.png|2]])</ref>
