Re: Something about 343GS has been irking me

In Response To: Re: Something about 343GS has been irking me (Target4Hire) You bring up some very interesting points. We don't know what impact the Control Room of Halo had on Cortana, and her behavior was peculiarly different after the interface. It's almost as if she were getting emotional at times (death of Keyes, Foehammer, and the destruction of Halo and resulting deaths of all the human survivors). Which brings up an interesting question about Halo 2. Should Cortana become "unstable" (I hate using the word "rampant" all the time), what do you do? She is central to your decision-making. What to do, where to go, who to kill, etc. If you suspect Cortana is compromised, how do you proceed? That would make for an interesting sub-plot for me. Imagine if she figured out you were on to her. Remember what Cortana does when you kill Keyes in the Pillar of Autumn level? : Hmmmm... this has some interesting implications for other aspects of the : story, as well. We all know that Cortana is not the same after interfacing : directly with the Control Room computer. In the Maw, she seems to lie to : Foe Hammer; in the end cutscene, she seems to stammer a little when she's : explaining her (their) actions to destroy Halo. Here's the rub: what if : Cortana is in fact the Second Betrayal™? In Two Betrayals, when she's : talking about the pulse reactors and finding the Autumn, she says she has : to use the Covenant battlenet to find the crash site, so they need to buy : some time. But, rather obviously, Guilty Spark is able to find the Autumn : just fine. Does he tap the Covenant transmissions also, or does he perhaps : know from the computer systems of Halo itself? If the latter, why wasn't : Cortana privy to this information? What if she knew the pulse generators : to be related to Guilty Spark's power supply and therefore wanted to hurt : him before moving on to the Autumn to destroy Halo. She just seems a bit : off after the Control Room encounter, so maybe we're witnessing the early : stages of Cortana's rampancy, as exemplified by her contradictory : statements ("I can't even begin to calculate the pulse's range") : and flat-out lies (To Foe Hammer: "We have a wildcat destabilization : of the ship's fusion core. The engines must have sustained more damage : than we thought!" Well, duh!). So there you go. Some of my thoughts : on the subject.
