Well it makes sense she told captain keyes it was a random jump away from reach but what if she was just taking them to be slaughtered at halo?

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

FINALLY! A new theory that I haven't heard 2,000 times today!

yea, nice to see some originality. i have also thought if cortana could be behind it all. i mean, she has been in a position of power in chief's movements and a few ships, so maybe she does have a hidden agenda.... cant wait to find out in '07.

I think she is under control of gravemind in halo 3 but not bad in 1-2. Didn't it sound like Gravemind when she said "I have defied gods and demons" it did sound like him in the bacckground saying it with her or something.

Chuck Norris.Period.

thats exactly what i was thinking the first time i saw it it did sound a lot liek gravemind

i dont think cortana was bad in 1 and 2 but it could be a possible in 3. could an computer AI be mind controlled by gravemind? its off topic but the things peple are commin up with recently are not theorys... they are hypotheses. a thoery has been tested a million times and is widely excepted but has not been proven. just wanted to clear that up.

The Flood control humaniods and other living being by hacking into their nervous system...

The same should applicable as to hacking into a computer motherboard... No doubt the flood can "Hack" into a computer the same way they take over a host form.

Hypotheticly yes... cortana could be controlled by Gravemind in a awkward sence

A good theory but I think Gravemind hacked her.

seeing as i'm playing through halo 2 AGIAN becuase i still dont get the story (i never watch cut scenes) i can't say much about this but what did she say that makes you think shes evil? Its just a bunch of religious stuff she probably picked up in the covie ship. Nothing in the trailer points to her being evil...

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them. -Aristotle

You folks really need to read/re-read the books, it clearly states she intentionally brought them to Halo although at the time she didn't know what it was.

If Gravemind and Cortana teamed up/merged why would Gravemind want to activate the ark and kill all of the Flood's food for like, ever?

If Cortana wanted them to be slaughtered she wouldn't have suggested the escape. If it wasn't for her advice, they would have all probably been killed.

Also, since it is a "random jump" how could she have planned for them to be slaughtered at Halo?

"There is still time to stop the key from turning"

I don't think Gravemind wants the Ark activated... especially after he said that

in the fall of reach, she takes the symbols found on the rock in the cote d'azur( sigma octanus IV) and uses them when she plots her "random jump" away from reach when it falls...

Ever since she entered the halo mainframe she has been different maybe she learned something and is just waiting to put her plans in action??Who knows.
