I'm probably wrong on this, but I always thought Cortana was lying to Foehammer when you were in the elevator at the end. Hear me out:
Foehammer: What's going on...everything alright...
Cortana: Negative, we have a wildcat explosion...the engines must have sustained more damage than we'd thought.
I always thought that Cortana knew exactly what she was doing and that Foehammer wasn't in on the plan; they both knew the ship was massively damaged, but, the blow it all up thing was Cortana's concept alone.
Why would Cortana lie to Foehammer? I think the engines sustained more damage then she though like she said. Or maybe I don't get what you're saying.
I just always took it as Cortana & Chief's dirty little secret. Like, the Marines knew that the Pillar was badly damaged, but, the overload thing was something Cortana cooked up on her own. A desperate measure. So when Foehammer reported in, Corty kind of fibbed that she didn't know what was going on, but, to get us out of here, regardless.
The other side of the coin would be that Foehammer...(somehow) knew what was going on...was in on it the whole time.
I never thought that was the case.
As for the lying part - the plan was to kill everyone/everything on the ring, so, Foehammer may not have been hip to that.
I see,. I suggest reading Halo: The Flood. The author gives a little insight to what the characters thought along side with side stories of the establishment of a Marine base, an assault of the Pillar of Autumn crash site before the Chief gets to it, and the final occupation of the damaged Truth and Reconciliation the Marines had as they attempted to escape the ring before it was destroyed. But were unsuccessful obviously.
