==Spark's Rampancy==
==Spark's Rampancy==
Do we have anything ''solid'' that states 343 as being rampant? To my observation everything he did was within a degree of protocol. Even in Halo 2, he didn't "help" put the ring in Standby Mode, he was simply inactive. It wasn't his ring, protocol would dictate that he should not interface with its systems.

A quote that I made from a really long time ago: '''''"343 Guilty Spark is the Monitor of Installation 04 and was created by the Forerunners! After the Forerunners were assaulted by the Flood they created the Halo Array to destroy the Flood.  The Forerunners set up Monitors to oversee the Halo Installations and to control Sentinels incase of a Flood out brake. To insure that the Halo's wouldn't be destroyed very easily is that they only provided the Monitors with enough information to maintain the Halo installations. And if they were to fall into the hands of the Gravemind they would not have the location of the other installations. And to help these Monitors if they fell into the Gravemind they were programed to stop the Flood at all costs. And they also had a protocol that stated that if even a tiny wire on the ring got a tiny bit damaged the Monitor was to send at least 12 Constructors to examine, repair, see what caused the problem, send it back to a more intelligent computer, then that computer must type an at least 1,000 page report on it, then send that to a higher up Computer, then that computer analyzes it and fixes errors adds things and so forth, then it gets sent to a higher computer, then a higher one, then it gets sent to the Monitor of that Installation. The Monitor then examines it, then right  a "simple" program about it(this simple program is so advanced it would take 500 normal computers to barely process it). It then sends it out to the Sentinel Constructor Factories to implement in all future Sentinels so they would know about this. The Monitor also sends all knowledge of this incident to the Knowing. They would also destroy every Flood Spore in an area. And if they didn't account for every microscopic Flood Spore then that whole area was destroyed.  And another thing as I said above is that the Halo rings must be at perfect condition at all times in case of a Flood out brake.  And the Monitor will do anything to make sure that the ring is always ready to fire. One particular example accord on Installation 08 when Avery Junior Johnson attempted to activate a partially constructed Halo. The Monitor of that Installation 343 Guilty Spark witnessed this. And 343 Guilty Spark couldn't let this happen. Because 343 Guilty Spark knew that it could destroy the Ark and then there would be nothing to make large-scale repairments to the Installations. And that would go against protocol and eventually  all the Installations will need large-scale repaiments and there would be nothing to make the replacements! And then if there was a Flood out-brake the whole UNIVERSE could become consumed! So in order to preserve the Ark and the whole Universe 343 Guilty Spark attacked Avery Junior Johnson and successfully stopped this threat that could destroy the whole Universe and put his makers to shame. Unfortunately, soon afterwards, 343 Guilty was "deactivated". The Ring was forced to fire and the Ring was torn apart. The current status of the Ark is unknown, there is a 100% chance that the ring is severely damaged."''''' Vegerot goes RAWR!

:Well, after reading it over, I'm not sure where to stand on it. Are you in agreement that 343 Guilty Spark was not rampant? The paragraph/wall made it seem so. That being said, I don't think the protocol was quite as "corporate" as you put it. Any damages would be seen to by the environmental and mechanical Sentinels. The Monitors were in charge of overseeing that everything went smoothly, and to oversee the activation of the ring. The other sentinels didn't "report" to them, they were programmed to their tasks.

That was actually an excerpt from something I wrote on Fanon, but if you disregard that stuff, then you should see my point.  My whole idea when writing this was that I wouldn't make it biased towards anything, just a neutral view.  But yes, I did imply that he was not rampant, just trying to protect the Ark.  Vegerot goes RAWR!

:They're fairly well-known facts, not much to think of them. According to Forerunner Installation Protocol, Humanity was - yet again - in the wrong several times. Activating the rings early would destroy the ring, and waiting a few days would only allow the Flood to regather in a likely contained manner due to the Sentinels. It wouldn't get as bad because 343 was more attentive than 2401, who let his ring go to hell. The UNSC didn't really know this, and figure the Flood needed to be dealt with ''now''.[[User talk:Ocean Soul|Ocean Soul]] 14:40, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

Yeah.  But yes or no.  Do you you think 343 Guilty Spark was right to kill Avery Junior Johnson and try to murder John-117?  I think yes.  Vegerot goes RAWR!

Now that ''Primordium'' has established that the Guilty Spark from the games wasn't the only instance of the AI and there was at least one more fragment elsewhere, one can infer the "04" in his designation is referring to Installation 04. If we want to describe the AI in general rather than just the extension assigned to Installation 04, it seems more appropriate to drop the "04" from the title, even if it does seem that was his "primary" instance. Not to mention the fact he's most commonly known as "343 Guilty Spark" anyway. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 12:14, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

== Merging this and Chakas (spoilers for Halo: Renegades) ==
Based on what we see of Spark in Renegades, I feel like this page and Chakas should be merged into a page called Spark, as that's the name that [whatever you want to call the guy at this point] chose for himself. I never quite liked having two separate articles, as there is significant overlap between the two, and the further blurring of the line between Spark and Chakas in Renegades only solidified that belief.--[[User:D9328|D9328]] ([[User talk:D9328|talk]]) 20:58, 21 February 2019 (EST)d9328
I don't agree. Chakas is dead. 343 Guilty Spark, just like 000 Tragic Solitude, was created from the mind of a living being and shares all the memories, personality traits, etc. of that being, but it a distinct entity. 343 Guilty Spark's page can certainly be expanded to include all the personality quirks, etc. as they pertain to his embodiment of Chakas, but we still need two pages to differentiate them.[[User:TheEld|TheEld]] ([[User talk:TheEld|talk]]) 21:21, 21 February 2019 (EST)TheEld
:Were he still Guilty Spark, I would agree with you; however, what he is now is some mixture of Chakas and GS. At the very least, I feel like another page called Spark should be made, but having 3 pages for assorted permutations of the same character feels a little ridiculous. I stand by my reasoning.--[[User:D9328|D9328]] ([[User talk:D9328|talk]]) 22:38, 21 February 2019 (EST)d9328
::You make a good point. We'd need to merge Splendid Dust and Tragic Solitude in that case as well.[[User:TheEld|TheEld]] ([[User talk:TheEld|talk]]) 22:39, 21 February 2019 (EST)TheEld
:::I'm not sure about that. The reason I feel Chakas and GS should be merged largely stems from how the two personalities have mixed. In the case of Splendid Dust and Tragic Solitude, their personalities remained distinct and separate throughout their existence. I'd be open to the idea, but I'm not as sure it's necessary as I am for Spark.--[[User:D9328|D9328]] ([[User talk:D9328|talk]]) 22:45, 21 February 2019 (EST)d9328
::::Agreed with TheEld's first statement. They're two distinct entities that share a personality, memories, and etc. I would also suggest working to reduce the overlap on each page.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 08:09, 22 February 2019 (EST)
