Wow,i read the whole thing,youre really smart and know your stuff,thats really good,blade's theory rocked,but..cant the humans download all the data she has stored in her memory from halo...and all that massive data she got from the covenant?she probaby has so many thing stored she might not know where to begin.;.but my question again,can'r humans somehow runa program to extract and analyze all the data acquired about installation 04 halo,and the covenant?because remember that she hacked the covenant battlenet,hmm..so many questions.

Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

IIRC, she says she can't wait to get rid of all that info and dump it onto another mainframe or something so she can get her systems back up to her full potential. Though, we can't know if she will re-lengthen her life span. She might, or it might one of those things where you have a battery life, if you don't use the battery it lasts longer but it will eventually die off, though if you use the battery a lot or for something use, the life goes way down. Might be the same concept here. She did hack the battlenet in Halo CE though it was only flash traffic and of a little importance other than saying about Keyes and the PoA. Also, she tapped into the network, not hacked since she says they are broadcasting over unencyrptied channels. Perhaps they think themselves to over-confident to use firewalls or perhaps because they did not think we'd be thier with an amazing AI. I think the latter than the former since in every other situation the Covie's have a great encyrption system.

What I think is Cortona because of what happened in halos center goes currpt andd the MC has to kill her because she's threating no only his life but everyone elses as well including herself... Just a thought

Thanks for bringing up Marathon Achilles. The people who haven't
been graced with Marathon yet should read these for themselves

Although that wont make much sense without this
http://marathon.bungie.org/story*contains spoilers for
Marathon*
Read on and discover how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

The Rabbit Hole goes disturbingly deep... it adds so much to the storyline and that's what makes it awesome. I've also wondered about 343 GS being perhaps the Rampant AI, and my theory on him, (not Cortana going Rampant), is different and also tie's in to a few other people's theories. I'll post when I get it altogether and when I come home from work tonight.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I don't think copying herself will work to give her immortality, of a kind. She would be copying herself, that means that the copy would be just like the original, no (if its a perfect copy, anyway)? In that case, say the original had 6 years left to "live." Thus, the copy, if made at that time, would only have 6 years as well.

Just what I think.

Communist? Hah! Thats new! I've never been called that before...

Communism doesn't work... I'm not going to be part of something that doesn't work.

She didn't use the covie tech to copy herself, she just copied herself like we would a file.

actually she did use covie tech to copy herself.

[color=blue] The way the smart AIs die is by making too many cross-connections for the memmory crystal to maintain. It's like crossing wires in the crystal. It explains that somewhere in FoR, not sure where. My idea is to link crystals on a lan type of network, so that there is enough room that the "wires" essentially don't get crossed. that way cortana can be immortal. [/color]

If you made a new copy of Cortana to contain all of her current memory and things, then there wouldnt be any room in the new crystal to have memory placed in. So she would still die at the same time unless a bigger memory storage is used.

i wouldn't matter if she copied herself after she dies cause she said it herself that copying doesn't expand the lifetime of an AI cause they still have all the info and they too continue to think themselves to death
