very good theory. Cortana is basically a computerized clone of Dr. Halsey (i've alway's prounced her as Dr. Hazley in my mind, dont ask y). And she knows johns past, and mabye on her mission with kelly she learned sum future. Or mabye she can go in the future with that time warping crystal. Its possible.
First, the crystal distorted time. When they used it in the book, they travelled through slipspace for a few minutes and when they came out, they had travelled a few weeks worth in distance. Secondly and most importantly, they were afraid of the covenant getting their hands on the crystal, so they destroyed it. Nobody seems to remember that important detail.

Cortana wouldn't look like Dr. Hasley. If you recall AI choose thier apearance. There is an AI that looks sorta like the grim reaper and i'm sure his source person wasn't a skeleton man.
What he said. They modeled Cortana's personality after Dr. Halsley, not her appearance. Even if Cortana chose to look similar to Dr. Halsley, she is way too young looking. By the third book, Dr. Halsley had gray streaks in her hair. She's an old woman. So if Dr. Halsley was trying to send a transmission to MC, yes she would look blue like all other transmission holograms in the series, but she would also be in her late 40s to early/mid 50s in age. That means that it is Cortana in the trailer, more than likely having Gravemind talking through her.
