Cortana, there's another detail about Joyeuse that seems relevant. Some legends say that Joyeuse also contained the Holy Lance, which has about a billion and one aliases one of which is the Spear of Destiny.
Yo dawg, I heard you like AI . . .
The Spear of Destiny is, by legend, the spear that pierced Jesus' side during the crucifixion. For the sake of having a viable conversation, let's forget the Christian specifics and just say the Spear of Destiny was used in part to kill a messiah figure. So Joyeuse could be an AI that outwardly looks like a weapon used by our conquering hero, Charlemagne, that secretly hides an inward power that could bring down some savior figure in the game. That might fit Joyeuse.
[L00's wild speculation]
So, what's the AI version of a weapon inside a weapon? Perhaps a virus of some sort. Or, depending on what references and parallels to Halo are included in Destiny, maybe the idea of an AI that has delusions of godhood (paralleling that "killing a savior" aspect) is rampancy?
[/L00's wild speculation]
Even the little logo for Destiny could be taken to imply one thing nested inside another.
