Okay guys, bear with me, I don't want to go searching through pages of threads to see if this has been Posted before..If it has, let me know and let it die, if not, discuss it.

Okay, I believe that all of Cortana's lines are directed toward Gravemind, not the Chief. She has no way of contacting him from so far away, I just think Bungie added her in there to wierd us out or give us a hint to the story..

I think that, while in the Control Room (in Halo 1), she learns of all the Flood. Gravemind is the 'mind' of the Flood, and has been for some time. The "Shield and Sword" line may be her way of saying to him that she is his(?) only way of getting what he needs accomplished.

And, I believe she sounds so strange because she is digging up all that info on him while talking to him, politely telling him that the will answer his questions, but if he tries anything funny she will detonate the place...

We still have no idea what he wants, so we will have to keep guessing and speculating..

The bees are on the what now?

Just kidding. That's an interesting theory. I never really thought about who she was speaking to.

Good call.

I miss the mark of shame on my shoulder. :(

I also thought she was not talking to the MC. It's like he's receiving bits and pieces of her discussion with someone else. That's why it's so broken up. Maybe due to the distance or some damage or something?

Hmm maybe. He might not even be recieving the messages though..They could've just shown her there too, it doesn't mean he hears her..Just an interesting openning..

Maybe "How the World Ends" Refers to Her detonating High Charity? Maybe the Covenant Home Planet? Or maybe I'm thinking about it too much now. But I don't think Earth will blow up!

In the annals of the plotline, there isn't a Covenant home planet, and High Charity was already abandonded. Furthermore, by "the world" it should be obvious that Earth is implied, since it IS the locale revealed in the promo.

But remember she is nowhere near Earth, and has no way of directly contacting the Chief, or physically reaching him.

I listened carefully during the trailer and I believe that she says "I am your shield, I am your source" If you ask me it makes more sense because she is the source towards what the Gravemind wants accomplished.

Yeah, but she can still blow it up to make sure that Gravemind and the Flood don't get to Earth..High Charity can Fly (I think? Lol, I thought I saw thrusters)

I've tried to figure out what she says a number of times now and I'm starting to think that she says "Source" and not "Swords"

I'm pretty sure it's "I-I-I am your Shield, I-I-I a-am your Sword"
