User:Ebon Shadowshot/Forerunner Artificial Intellegence Class B

"I am Class B, which by Homo sapien and Sangheili standards, means 'Dumb AI'"

- Hidden Librarian on the term Class B

Forerunner Artificial Intellegence Class B, (often referred simply as Forerunner Class B or Forerunner Dumb AI ), are the second class of Artificial Intellegence in the Forerunner network. Class Bs fill in the 'slot' of Intellegence between Sentinels and Monitors (Sentinels being Class C). Most of the time, a Class B's function is to Monitor it's certain location, aswell as establish communication to the nearest Installation. Class B's, like Dumb AIs, do not go through the Stages of Rampancy. Unfortunatly, the Forerunner never suceeded in preventing Rampancy in their Class A's.

Function
"You see there are many Monitors in the Forerunner Empire. Class A's were the Monitors of the Installations, or as you call it the 'Halo Array'; and the Class B's are responsible for less significant constructs and facilities"

- Hidden Librarian

A Class B's function is Monitor a certain location. Their Function is to be it's guardian. Most of the time, the location is of little significance but plays a role in the preservation of the Flood on the Installations. Class B's monitor this location, ensuring no system breaks and everything is in check. Aswell as this, should an outsider come into the lair, it is the Class B's job to greet or incinerate the incoming aliens. Class Bs are also required to have moderate intellegence about other Installations and Class B locations.

A list of Species Class B's protocol allows:
 * Homo Sapien
 * Sangheili
 * Hurogok
 * San 'Shyuum
 * Jiralhanae
 * Unggoy
 * Kig-Yar
 * Juro 'hoko

While their construct is their Primary Function, their Secondary is to aid Class A's at any given moment.

Intellegence
"Class A's are considered the 'Smart AIs', a trait I've never understood, as all Monitors are eqipped with high intellegence."

- Hidden Librarian

Although it's still unknown how much intellegence Class B's have. It is know they are far more intellegent than the Sentinel variants. What is also known is that their intellegence can be compared to that of Class A's, but they are still not as smart. The Majority of their intellegence is knowing the way their Systems work and the comparison of different levels of Forerunner technology, aswell as being able to run countless simulations at once.
