the covies would most likely destroy her(after letting there AI's take a crack at her) so they could get all her info on all she knows. Why the hell would they try to make her evil, to screw with the MC? they are already confident that they are going to kill all the humans MC included, so they would only be interested n Cortanas knowledge, nothing more. Period.
... Are Covenant AI's sentient? If they aren't Cortana would be important... and you can't exactly Ctrl C/Ctrl V a sentient program. You can't do all that much else easily, and getting into the root files, even to just look at them, would be extremly difficult (not to mention they would be almost incomprehensible), but they could perhaps access the memory or exterior files, make her evil and use her to help command their fleet or hide a Trojan in her program, and allow her to fall back into Human hands... if she was connected to the Human Computer Network, then the program could put the all the UNSC forces offline. GG Humans. But of course the Human computer network would have other Sentient AI's (against whom a dumb virus would stand little chance (of course it could always infect them and prevent them from accessing the network for a little while)). Or, it could just wait until MC is in a big battle and disable his armor. Then his communicator could be used to spread the virus... GG no re.
