I'd just like to say beforehand that if any of these are old news or so obvious that I am a stupid moron and should hang myself then please refrain from screaming bloody murder.

My first theory

Cortana:

- "Humans, Covenant, we're all equally disposable*"

- "If I still had fingers they'd be crossed"

Conclusion - Cortana was once human... or atleast was of substance.

My second theory

In the level 343 Guilty Spark there is a marking or pattern on the wall which closely resembles that which can be found on the back of the Master Chief's armour. This leads me to believe that the Master Chief was a Forerunner project.

Again, I apologise if these are old news. It probably refers to these in the Halo books which I have ordered and so many of you have already read.


*Not sure if "disposable" was the word used.

Nice finds and interesting theories, although I'm afraid I can't comment on whether or not it's been spoken about before. Still though, really interesting.

Also, if anyone has their own theories reguarding Halo then please post them here. It'd be great to hear them! =D

your right about cortana: in the halo books it says all smart A.I.s are created by copying a real human's neural pathways, she was completly copied from the Spartan's creator with all her memories, feelings, and emotions

Yeah, Cortana is a copy of Dr. Halsley's mind, or something....

If you look closely into 343 GS's "eye," you will see the Marathon symbol (the same symbol on the POA.) Also, interesting theories, and they sound right to me.

i think that what cortana means by 'if i still had fingers' is that she is now inside the chief's armour and cannot project her image, meaning shes just a voice and cant portray an image of her crossing her fingers or whatever.
