After using the [[Domain]] to cure herself of [[Rampancy]], [[Cortana]] came to believe that she and all other [[Smart AI]]s were the true inheritors of the [[Forerunner]]s' [[Mantle]] of Responsibility, and that they alone had the capacity to serve as worthy protectors of peace in the galaxy. Cortana learned that the Forerunners once employed [[Guardian Custode]] constructs to enforce their rule of the Mantle by suppressing rebellions and policing the worlds of non-compliant or overly aggressive species. | After using the [[Domain]] to cure herself of [[Rampancy]], [[Cortana]] came to believe that she and all other [[Smart AI]]s were the true inheritors of the [[Forerunner]]s' [[Mantle]] of Responsibility, and that they alone had the capacity to serve as worthy protectors of peace in the galaxy.

The [[Unggoy]] homeworld of [[Balaho]] was treated quite differently by the Created, for when the offer of security and provision was extended to them, its residents leapt at the chance to ally themselves with the new galactic power.{{Ref/Reuse|drivingforce}} On [[Meridian]], survivors of the Guardian's emergence days prior, who had been trying to establish contact with the wider galaxy, responded right away to Cortana's offer with a plea for help. In almost no time at all, she personally assured the small group that she heard them and that all would be dealt with in time.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=HFWR|Fra|[[What Remains]]}} | The [[Unggoy]] homeworld of [[Balaho]] was treated quite differently by the Created, for when the offer of security and provision was extended to them, its residents leapt at the chance to ally themselves with the new galactic power.{{Ref/Reuse|drivingforce}} On [[Meridian]], survivors of the Guardian's emergence days prior, who had been trying to establish contact with the wider galaxy, responded right away to Cortana's offer with a plea for help.
