Underground Pleasure - aren't you a bit curious?

At the part where she says "your past, your future"....... PAY ATTENTION TO HER EYES. It seems as if they seem to switch back and forth from good to evil..

Or I'm just seeing things...but uh..yeah..get really close to your screen and pay attention to her eyes.

Or maybe I'm just going insane...

No it seems like her eyes were like pointing inside her sockets... Then they like roll down...

No, I think that's a valid point.

Cortana's changed through the series. Rampancy may play a part... and she may not have humanity's best interests at heart.

This reminds me of the first game. When Cortana suddenly says "The Cpatain, weve got to stop the Captain" That made me jump because her eyes suddenly changed along with her tone.


Also keep in mind that AI's like Cortana only have so long of a life span...could she die?

Yes..something changes...not nothing. They don't even look the same.

I watched it several times and I'm pretty sure she is just showing expression by opening her eyes wider and then closing them tighter etc. I didn't catch anything evil about her.

edit: Actually, now that I watch it yet again in very slow motion, I think I detect fear or urgency in her eyes just before she fades away to reveal the cheif. I think she's in the midst of some kind of struggle...maybe a moral one (join forces with Gravemind or not) or a 'physical' one (Gravemind could be trying to take over Cortana).

She stares at all of us the same way, the stupid whore.

That is pretty freaky. Watch her be leading the brutes in combat against the chief. A complete betrayal of good for evil would be an excellent twist in the story.

in the control room of Instilation 04 she obsorbed alot of data on the forruners and there in lies the problem. now what happens when you fill a computer with data that could possibly be corrupted.. it slows down and it might get a virus so possibly cortana is infected with an anceint alein virus

The only good blue is a dead blue

Take a look at this picture from the trailer when Cortana first starts speaking http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/9813/43ef1.jpg
"That dosent look anything like Cortana's cheek bone structure"

Quoted and found by my good friend Wolf

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

aye i remember that, and i believe she mentioned having to leave behind a lot of information she gathered because she WAS slowing down...

The MC also observes a much slower Cortana when she has trouble thinking of what to do and coming up with plans and answers to equations... She does come up with answers but she isn't 100% sure she is right.

this evilness in the eyes is just your imagination. She does seemed concerned though. I would speculate that after the cheif arrived back at earth after the FIRST halo was destroyed, the spooks at ONI had a good long look at her for the information she gathered and as a long term asset against the covanent. If we ever get a book to read we'll see the cheif's opinions of cortana on earth and again with the covenant after the care she needs. If all that data made her slow I doubt she was carrying it in halo 2 or to be clumsy enough to amass that much information again.
