this might not help but
At the end of the game, after all the credits have rolled, it is shown that Gravemind is occupying High Charity. He says to Cortana who has been separated from Master Chief and stayed behind:
Silence fills the empty grave now that I am gone,
But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on.
Now I will ask and you will answer.
To which she(cortana) answers "All right… shoot." This statement might mean that Cortana has gone fallen under its influence, or that she is using/learning from it, leaving the gamer not just with a cliffhanger but also with the sense that Gravemind may play a prominent role in Halo 3. When Microsoft showed the trailer for Halo 3 at E3 2006, many people claimed that Gravemind could be heard speaking with Cortana. "I have defied gods, and demons. I am your shield, I am your sword. I know you, your past, your future. This is the way the world ends." Gravemind is one of the six known Flood variants in the Halo universe.
