Perhaps there is an Ico element in here, wherby he will do anything to protect Cortana - she seemed petrified and MC usually gives a cocky response
maybe cortana stumbled upon something concerning ancient human/forerunner knowledge, maybe feeding parts of the info into john's memory, resulting in changes.
maybe it's related to her going rampant, fighting it and therefore being weakend.
one thing:
the forward unto dawn isn't just floating towards the "gate", she "runs" straight on into it - i think it's very likely she's getting actively pulled into. maybe cortana activated the gate herself? there is still power on the FuD, after all and according to the interview frankie gave, something happened between the legendary ending and and the trailer, but that the LE was a hint to where they are.
so, my wild guess: the FuD was drifting towards the "mysterious planet" in H3's LE. ever since then people believed that it was a forerunner world. i say that cortana started scanning and somehow hit the jackpot, finding ridiculous amounts of data on the universe's history, including that of mankind and hints to a nearby portal or shieldworld.
lacking any better option she activated it.
during all that, something else happened, changing the relationship between cortana and chief.
what i can't come up with is an answer to why the chief looks different. this means that at one point he must have gotten out of the freezer, modified/change his suit and jumped back in. how would that make sense?
I was thinking that his calm mood would be something to do with Cortana's rampant stage on the way. If something did happen between Halo3 and Halo4, then it would of added more time to Cortana's life span. Maybe he was being calm to stop her from thinking to much, as rampancy is commonly known as an A.I 'thinking itself to death'.
