I've come to the conclusion that it the title 'Two Betrayals' could have numerous meanings. Obviously about two separate cases of betrayal, but the culprit of this could be many.
These seem to be the main that I think of:
* Guilty Spark betraying MC (not giving full truth on the purpose of the installation).
* MC betraying Guilty Spark (because GS double-crosses him, and set sentinals at MC).
* Cortana betraying MC (not telling the whole truth about the flood to MC when she could have done easily. "We've got to stop the Captain!....Go Stop Keyes!")
Upon looking at Cortana betraying MC, I ask the question:
[color=white] Why did Cortana send MC out into the unknown when she could have spend 2 minutes briefing him on the situation? [/color]
Obviously this is crucial to the whole suprise of the flood but Cortana only telling half the truth (rather than full) when she blatently had the time to do so is a betrayal of MC. The fact is, that installation was going to be broken into (releasing the flood) no matter how fast MC was. Keyes was 'still on-route to the objective' during 'The Silent Cartographer'. So in theory it would take some time to, get a ride, locate Keye's last position and then get there. So why is it that Keyes is only just forcing his way into the complex when you get there? Its all a little too unbelievable that MC takes half as long to get there as Keyes and almost stops him.
Also, haven't the Covenant already released the flood before Keyes? So if MC stops the Keyes, the flood will be flourishing on the surface.
