| Cortana Speculation Based On IACL Info. | |

In Response To: In Amber Clad loadout discussion (Zak Anderson) : Pelicans: 2 shot down in New Mombassa
: 11 pelicans in total, as 12 is a squadran it dosnt seem to much to assume a
Hmm.. : Longswords
Alright.. So we've got one extra pelican onboard the IAC. This must be what Cortana would plan to use for human extraction after detonating the ship's core on Delta Halo. However with IAC being on High Charity (cutscene you can see it there.) I find it hard to think that she could plan to even have IAC down in time to stop the detonation of Halo. Now based on the fact that there was a pelican able to escape the first Halo explosion (First Strike... Thats how Sarge survives.) this must have been enough for Cortana to be able to convince 117 that they'd be able to escape. In all honesty though, I think this was just a cover up for Cortana. Here are my thoughts: 1) Cortana is indeed rampant, we've got the crossed fingers image, we've got the lack of Halo BOOM-age, and hell, she talks to Gravemind. Cortana is running out of memory space given Halo 1 and now High Charity. This isn't really necessary in relations to the rest of my speculation, but I think its good to note that she might not be thinking straight. 2) Cortana wanted Master Chief to leave her. This is clearly apparent in the cutscenes, but WHY would she want him to leave. Given other speculation about the flood having taken IAC, I think she knew that the ship would be useless to any humans, so she would transfer herself over to the ship and lock down the controls so the flood forms on board couldn't control it. Then she could make her leave. 3) This leaves the question as to where Cortana would go with a ship of her own, infested with flood forms. She'd probably head as far away from earth as possible... just like Dr. Halsey did. (First Strike) She'd probably empty out the load of Flood into slipspace, and then try to find Dr. Halsey and Kelly (Spartan.) My guess is that she would want to be with her creator when she ran out of space. Now lets hope that someone will agree with this speculation, that way I can get on the story page :P ~Jinno
