In Response To: Re: Cortana Speculation Based On IACL Info. (GemSword) : 1) Cortana is indeed rampant Although Cortana does have a lot of her memory engaged, I don't think she is rampant. The main reason the "Cortana is rampant" theory arose was due to her changing of coloration when she entered Halo's mainframe, as well as her distractedness and moodiness since her rapid downloading of information. The changing of coloration has all ready been explained when she is first introduced in Fall of Reach. Her color changes with her mood. Afterall, it is also stated that AIs in the Halo storyline can choose and manipulate their appearances. Next, the change of attitude. Personnally, I think this is caused by the stress from all the extra information she has absorbed. In the books, she notices the lag that the extra data is causing and notes that she needs to get rid of it. A third reason for the "Rampancy Theory" is the Cortana Letters. Upon reading all of these after playing both Halos and reading the books, I don't believe that she is rampant. She is mainly speaking about the Covenant War and then latter the Flood. I believe her zealous "I WIN!" statement is concerning finding a way to defeat her enemies, rather than destroy the universe as you state. : Err, this seems odd to me. While she is in cheifs suit maybe, but I would
I believe that she has already dumped the information into a computer at Earth. I would see no reason that she would keep this kind of data in her memory when she has the chance to transfer it, decompress it, and scan it for relivant information. As to her speaking with the Gravemind... She is, afterall, an AI. She cannot just get up and leave when she likes. Also, why is it such a terrible thing to converse with your enemies. During the US Civil War, soldiers of both sides would get together between battles for social interaction. Of course, in that context, most of them had relations in the other army. Besides, Cortana loves to gather and analyze information. I can't think of anyone better to gather information from than a sentient alien being that makes the human race look young. I wouldn't pass up the chance if I were her. Of course, being human, I would run like hell!! | |
