So while watching the trailer I was got a sudden thought of Starcraft... That in turn made me think about how Kerrigan gets infested by the Zerg... and well in this case could she have been "infested" or corrupted because she is an AI program by Gravemind... because it well, sure sounded like it.

Not corrupted, rampant! After 7 years, Smart AI's expand to fast and their thirst for knowledge makes them crazy. AI's are usually shut down, but since Cortona is in the clutches of Gravemind...well, gravemind will be using her, I think it's safe to say.

Due to recent cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

It is a blurred line that lies at the edge of Godhood and Insanity. Guess which side of it I am on.

Well I don't know if whoever posts has played through Starcraft, and though I thoroughly love Bungie I can't help but notice, but Kerrigan(Cortana) gets captured by the Zerg(Flood) and gets changed to become part of them but then later betrays them for her own gains...

This makes me think that Cortana, though obviously interacted and maybe changed by Gravemind, will somehow betray the Flood and Humanity at the same time... activating Halo perhaps... I mean this is all just speculation but many games stories etc have had a major betrayal and a somewhat rectifying situation. Though I don't want Cortana to be traitorous I'm just throwing that out there, you can throw it right back at me if you want.

I would love to be proved wrong!
