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.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg
So far there has been no reasonable theory on how Cortana is communicating with you in Halo 3. I think I have a new theory that might spark some debate and some interest.
Ok we see that when MC encounters the Gravemind for the first time, he was uncounsious. It could be possible that the Gravemind slipped some Flood Spores into the Chief. The Gravemind probably knew how dangerous the Chief would be, so this would eventually turn him into a Flood.
How is this relevant to my theory?
On The Covenant, we see that Truth is being infected by the Flood.As he is, the Gravemind communicates through Truth.
This shows that the Gravemind, or the Flood for that matter, have some sort of telepathic ability.
So, when Cortana was being "hacked" into by the Gravemind, he/she communicated to him through this telepathic ability.
Now of course, how come MC hasn't fully turned Flood?
Remember that Johnson, who is a S-I, is immune to the Flood.
While augmentations are different between S-Is, and S-IIs, it could be possible it still had a similar effect of Flood immunity. Remember that even though Johnson is immune to the Flood, he now (or did) have some regenerative abilities because of the Flood particles in him.
MC could have a similar effect, but with the communications instead.
Gonna tally how many people clearly didn't read this OP.
