They'd probably immediately bow and ask the vessel for orders.

Also, yeah a Contender-class AI would be overpowered as hell here, Mendicant was meant to counter a foe that had access to fucking neural physics and Mendicant had control over basically everything and *still* got logic plagued by the Primordial. The Replicants wouldn't stand a chance.

Well in 343 lore sure. I still hold to Bungie's original humans are descendants of Forerunners lore, rather than all the retconning with the Forerunners for Forerunners (e.g. Precursors) and whatnot that occurred as part of the Halo 3 terminals, but yeah it would be since that's all we presently have to go off of in any official capacity.
