"You know what happens when you leave someone hanging for too long? They fall."

Okay, there may be other parts of her speech that has this in it, but you MUST relisten to the "I have defied Gods and demons". Not until the end of the sentence, but right about when it says "demons" you hear a voice. It's definently an elites. The Arbiter is my best guess. That voice change could be a critical part of the game, blended with her static to make it look like an insignificant part. It could be foreshadowing.

Think. "I have defied Gods..." perhaps the prophets are refered to as Gods. The Arbiter apposed them...But here is what really got me. "I have defied Gods AND DEMONS]." How do the elites, how does the Arbiter refer to the master cheif? Demon. I'll be looking for more things that blend so they are hard to pick out. Did anyone else notice this voice change?

Maybe because she's being held hostage by a freaky tentacle monster she is talking a little funny. Cut her some slack.

In high definition baby!

She is held by Gravemind. You see it at the last cinematic of Halo 2.

Most people have come to the conclusion that its Cortana being controlled by Gravemind, and you hear her voice with a small bit of Gravemind breaking through! I think thats the general consensu all round at the moment!

You guys are right. I didnt think of the grave mind. I wonder what specifically the grave mind asked of her. He was about to ask her a question and she said "shoot"...meaning of coruse she let him ask. Hmm...

I'm gonna go on a limb and say that the first few missions of H3 might be as the Arbiter ,with the help of Johnson and Miranda, getting to Cortana, then the Arbiter might use her to try and send a transmision to MC.... But what do I know....

i agree, when she says her first two lines her voice is too low to be her, then it is her voice after wards

Maybe it's a different voice actress?

Sorry, I'm being silly. It's obviously Gravemind. Omg, the trailer rocks, i nearly wet myself, etc etc.

Agreed. However we are expecting the came to start, it will probobally be different. But how you said it made very much sence. Being the Arbiter at first would get it a good flow. I have a feeling that 343 guilty spark will be in this one too. The gravemind is definently going to play a larger part in this one than he did in halo 2.

I was just checking out the uncropped video, and the word "demons" isn't the only time you hear gravemind's voice. Through her whole next sentence, "I am your shield, I am your sword" you can hear gravemind's throaty gurgle speaking the same words, but much quieter than before. This dialogue sound much more like the poetic was gravemind speaks than cortana. I don't hear it at all after that, in the "past, future" statement or the end of the world remark. What would gravemind mean with the sheild and sword comment? Is gravemind allying himself with the chief to help stop the activation of the halos? Will the flood be friendlies?

*edit* If I'm the first to crank the volume and hear this, I call dibs on the find.
