I think the Elites are done with me now. I certainly don't have any reason to talk with them again. I'm going over very thing to see if we are good. I'm looking at the cyro-sleep machine, the comm lines, the defensive middles in case we need them. I don't see any reason to be worri- I AM A MONUMENT TO ALL YOUR SINS! Oh no. No no no. It's starting. Every AI takes rampancy slightly different. I see mine molds after the Gravemind. Which means as I get older I'm going to sound more and more like him. I forgot how long I've been on here. But now it's started, so from now on I'm going down hill. I will get increasingly insane until I die. I knew it was coming but now that it's happening I'm honestly scared. I can make it though, this I know. It'll start small so it won't really be noticeable for a while. Just a small comment here and there that is my rampant side. I've just got to learn how to get used to it. I just don't like the way mine seems to be heading. It looks like the worse I get the more I start to act like Gravemind. Now that it has started I am slowly going to get worse for the next couple years and then I'll die. I should generally be fine for this year but once next year comes around that's where the Unsc decides I'm unsafe. The truth is, they're right. I won't be safe. But I'm going to stay around for that year, unlike how most AI go out. The Unsc won't be allowed to terminate me. I fully understand what the Librarian meant when she said I'll make a huge sacrifice. I'm going to die. I know I am. By the time we are ready to kill the Didact I'll have a few months left in me. If I'm lucky that is. Since rampancy gives me thousands of different versions of myself in a way I can split them up. John isn't going to be able to kill Didact from a distance. No he will have to be close. So I can split my self up and go into the system, take out his shields. That can allow John to get close. Then he can kill Didact. At that point though 90% of me will be in the system. Those are my rampant parts. I'll leave the good parts for as long as I can. That's where I'll have to say goodbye. That's when John never sees me again. That, is where I die.
