I’m sure everyones seen the achievements, but what about the 7th mission achievement. Its title is “Composer” hhhmmmmm Possible Halo 4 enemy??
Yeah, I hear you actually have a showdown with Neil Davidge.
LOL!!!
The Composer is a device/being that can take the personality/memories of someone and turn them into a machine, or a gaes.
> Yeah, I hear you actually have a showdown with Neil Davidge.
Reminds me of one of the remix tracks: “Apocalyptica vs. Neil Davidge” lol
But anyway, since the Forerunner Saga seems heavily related to Halo 4’s story (and the Reclaimer Saga itself), I didn’t think that it was just a coincidence that the achievement was called “Composer”. But, I guess we’ll need to know more about the campaign to figure out what The Composer’s role in this story is (assuming that it is The Composer).
…and for those that don’t know/haven’t read the books: The Composer
It’s possible that a composer, as described in Primordium, could be used to stop Cortana’s rampancy. That, I’m guessing, is the main objective of the 7th mission.

Well, I guess that’s why Frankie, when asked, always answers “If Cortana goes rampant”.
The Composer is mentioned numerous times in Primordium, but nobody knows what it is. It could be a thing, a person, a machine, a forerunner, a monitor, ancilla, ancient… thing, WHATEVER.
We don’t know. All we know is that it can do a whole bunch of crazy things like turning peoples’ personalities into genetic memories, and turn peoples’ personalities into AI, and so on.
I’ll bet it has something to do with Cortana, definitely. If anything can fix rampancy, it would be something really Forerunner anyway. Forerunners could do that. They were able to do it for Mendicant Bias and cure his rampancy… for a period of time at least, and Bias was obviously far more advanced than Cortana.

Well, Bias underwent metastability on his own over a period of 100,000 years, the Forerunners didn’t really play into that.
After Bias was captured from Installation 07 by the Didact, the Forerunners forced him to undergo a corrective procedure to stop his rampancy. It appeared to work for a period of time at least… until Bias went rampant again and started assaulting the Maginot Sphere.

Guess that speaks volumes about Forerunner ancilla rehabilitative processes eh?
Its a machine made by the forerunners to extract a…well a persons soul I guess along with his/her memories and put them into machines. If you read Primordium it does this to one of the main characters Chakas and makes him and several others into Monitors. There is a big debate whether or not Chakas is 343 Guilty Spark in the universe section
Considering Chakas mentions the fragments of himself that the Monitors are…safe bet to assume Chakas is not 343 Guilty Spark, especially since he referenced him directly as a separate being.

My guess is that it ultimately didn’t work because he deliberately turned himself rampant in the first place, which means he had no wish to be cured. If he wished, he could (and would) have eventually managed to turn himself rampant again.
Cortana on the other hand doesn’t seem to be going rampant by means of deliberately wanting to be rampant. Not to mention that she is far less advanced than Bias, which means a cure would theoretically be simpler.

I’m thinking that 343 Guilty Spark was just an alias for one of many Chakas fragments. The Forerunners may have had some special task in mind for Chakas when he turned into a monitor.

Well Bias didn’t intentionally go rampant, he was tricked into it by the Primordial.

Or it could be the ANCIENT EVIL!
He was tricked to turn rampant by the Primordial, which means for all intents and purposes, he turned himself rampant by his own decision… which was influenced by the Primordial.

Well yeah, Chakas carries the imprints of millions of ancient humans “Composed” by the Composer.
