: The chief, however, isn't really human anymore. He's got surgically enhanced
: reflexes, strength, bones, eyesight, and intelligence and he's strapped
: into a piece of machinery which amplifies all of this. His human elements
: - his free will and decision making ability - are largely irrelevant to
: the main story.
: Although I think his decision to go after Cortana was as much his own as
: hers.
On the surface that's true. And imo, this characteristic gives pathos to the moments when a Marine's jaw drops to the floor at the sight of him or when grunts sob "the demon will kill us all!"
On the other hand, that's the whole point of their relationship, isn't it? Cortana is the one thing that's able to entice Chief enough for him to show what's left of his human side. Chief wouldn't dare tease Keyes about her "driving" or crash a banshee just to get a rise out of Sarge. He didn't utter a single wry quip in Halo 3 until he found her, and after he did, his sullen demeanor changed instantly. It was kinda touching.
