I was just playing through the High Charity levels of Halo 2 again when I heard something that made me think about the trailer and all of the comments/questions surrounding it. In particular there have been a lot of questions about what is wrong with Cortana. Gravemind is one possibility. However, there is another I believe.

When playing the High Charity level Cortana enters the High Charity mainframe in order to assist MC. In her effort to slow the launch of the Forerunner space ship so has to manipulate the convenant comuter systems. When doing this she comments that most of the covenant AI's are really very simple and easy to overcome. HOWEVER! at one point she mentions that she is encountering something much more powerful inside the Covenant computer. We are not really ever told what this is but i think it is possible that this is what is messing w/ Cortana.

What do you guys/gals think?

I thought this "presence" Cortana was talking about was a Forerunner AI onboard the ship, but after watching the final cutscene, I realised it could be Gravemind. After all, he managed to use Delta Halo's teleportation grid, and use High Charity's broadcast system. Just a thought.

trojan, takes control of Cortana for its own purposes. Maybe its some sort of ancient Forerunner program designed to keep AI constructs from interfering ""Too much""
