The Distraught

"The Distraught" was a fragment of abstracted personality. It was likely destroyed by Flood-infected battleship that had destroyed the Forerunner vessel that was ferrying it to the Ark.

Nothing is currently known about "The Distraught", other than it's translated title. It's title, as well as prior knowledge on Forerunner Ancilla suggests that this core's function may have simply been to contain and quarantine all negative thoughts about the Flood within itself, to prevent Mendicant Bias from losing its faith in "The Sustenance" and its suggestions on why he had made the right decision.

History
In order to prevent Mendicant Bias from subverting or harming him, Offensive Bias had shattered of Mendicant Bias into its component sections and scattered them throughout the few remaining ships of his fleet for transport to Installation 00, where he would study the fallen AI construct. Much of his fleet was destroyed or ravaged by the Flood. The "The Distraught's" fate is uncertain, however, it was presumably destroyed.
