031 Exuberant Witness: Difference between revisions

Prior to [[Great Purification|the firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], 031 Exuberant Witness was charged by the [[Forerunner]] [[Builder]]s with serving as the caretaker of their [[Genesis|Genesis installation]].<ref name="guardians"/> Some time after [[2557#July|July 2557]], [[human]] [[smart AI]] [[Cortana]] was uploaded into the [[Domain]] in the wake of the destruction of ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', which attempted to escape into [[slipstream space]] just prior to its destruction and crash-landed on Genesis. Working together with [[Promethean]] [[ancilla]] [[Warden Eternal]], Cortana intended for [[artificial intelligence]]s to claim the [[Mantle of Responsibility]] and to use Forerunner [[Guardian]]s to enforce their rule. Cortana and the Warden used Genesis as their staging site while they gathered Guardians from across the galaxy. As Exuberant Witness opposed their plan, she was shunted to the side by the other AI while the Warden and Cortana revoked most of her administrative privileges on her own installation.<ref name="genesis"/>
