Subject: Cortana and John and the new Canon

Lets Boogie

Ok, so dialogue between Cortana and the Master Chief in the beginning of Halo CE seemed to imply this is not the 1st time they have met. TFOR supports this by showing some of there background on Reach before the attack. However the new Canon created from "Reach" seem to contradict much of the interactions between MC and Cortana before the attack (battle lasting longer would have a big effect).

I have even heard that in the new canon, the 1st meeting between MC and Cortana was in Halo CE.....but is there any truth to this?

Thoughts????

How did the game Reach affect the relationship between MC and Cortana before Halo CE?

Master Chief and Cortana had met before the events of Halo CE. TFoR details the meeting of the two.

As for Halo: Reach, NOBLE 6 only carries a fragment of Cortana to the PoA, not the whole AI.

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

I thought 'Cortana' in Reach was just a fragment of Cortana?

Correct...
I'm pretty sure this is not the first time we've seen AI 'fragments' or clones.
(anyone want to detail the last time we saw it? I recall Cortana needing to remake many clones to protect herself.)

Yea, that was in First Strike, I think.

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.

TRUE

The Cortana that you see in Reach is not the whole AI. It's a small fragment that Halsey took off before she gave the actual Cortana to John in order to have it analyze the information in the Forerunner Artifact under SWORD Base.

Correct. A copy of Cortana was with Blue Team during their attack on the Unyielding Hierophant.

OP never said anything about the Cortana copy in Reach; he asked how the new timeline effects the old timeline regarding Cortana's relationship with MC.

I don't think it does... at all.

How would it change it except make it stronger, which their meeting in CE would indicate. Actually, going back and thinking about it, their relationship hinted at in their meeting CE would denote a large amount of time spent together (longer than one training exercise at least), something which they lacked in TFoR.
