Ok... I'm a bit excited, but I could be totally off, and I hope you'll forgive me looking too close to the trailer.

**PBT warning - While this thread may have been Posted Before Today, I try my hardest to keep up with what's being posted on a daily basis. I'm sorry if I'm repeating stuff that's already been said**

Alright, listen very carefully to the three lines delivered by Cortana. Put on your headphones and turn up the volume if you'll disturb your neighbors. Remember how people have said they hear gravemind embeded inside Cortana's own voice? I still believe this to be true.

However, aside from Gravemind's theoretical voice, there are others. Other what? Other voices. I dont believe this is strange though, nor do I believe it is simply effect for the teaser. It is possible that while cortana has been on High Charity with gravemind, she's been fighting a "powerful presence" never before encountered.

If you remember from First Strike, Cortana made several hundred copies of herself in the Military Command structure poised to attack Earth. Listen to the teaser again, and you will hear multiple copies of Cortana's voice...

While this may not have any substance, I felt it was worth mentioning.

Abe out.

It could, and remember that from another one of the books, she encountered a mysterious AI that she manages to delete before you ever really find out what it is. I can't imagine how many AI's there must be on High Charity

Cortana Theory

"Would you like some more epic with that fail?"

I do hear Gravemind speaking in Cortana's first two sentences. When she says "I", it sounds like a broken record, it repeats, and then continues on with what she's saying. I do remember her making multiple copies of herself while reading the books, the "I"s sound like the multiple copies speaking with her. So I agree with you on both parts.

**Ignore the broken link in my signature, I'm fixing it right now -lol-.**

Oh yes! All 3 books are an excellent read, I've read them 3 times over already. Plus they'll help fill in the gaps from the game and give you more insight into the Haloverse.

(EDIT: I fixed my broken link, W00T! Yeah that was random -lol-)

It showed up just fine. The importance of this theory can seen as this:

If what I think is true, then it's completely possible that Cortana has not gone Rampant, but has corrupted herself by making alot of copies. Why would she make copies? To fight off the powerful AI construct. Maybe even to fight gravemind, who if you remember, voiced his opinions across the COM system on High Charity. If he was able to do that, it means he somehow got in their system.

Cortana would be facing two powerful enemies, and would need reenforcements, no matter how risky it might be.

Cortana also made mulitple copies of herself because she was becomming too full with the data she retrieved from Halo. She also made multiple copies of herself to fight off the unknown AI that was bothering her and to run other tasks at the same time as well. I remember her saying that she was "spreading herself too thin."

Yeah, it was the information she downloaded from Halo that was slowing her down allowing that Covenant AI to sneak up on her before she caught it and tore it apart. Inside the Covenant AI, she found the coding to copy herself. It was actually kinda scary how many copies she had to make of herself to combat all the counterintrusive programs on the Battle Command ship. She couldn't handle how many of her copies were interfiering with each other.

well cortana is transmitting her messages from the other side of the galaxy or something. there is a simple thing called interference that could explain the quality of her message.

yes, I realize it could just be interference. I was just making a theory.

Scary, indeed. Think of multiple copies of yourself, man one of me is enough as it is *Shudder* -lol-. It's strange how she found that some of the Covenant AI coding resembled her own. I also wonder why she didn't just delete those mulitple copies of herself when she was done with her tasks.

I like this theory and was thinking this myself, but then I asked why would she need copies. Perhaps she is no longer on High Charity and Gravemind is just speaking through a corrupt copy of her. Whatever the case, I pray she has not gone rampant...

She might need copies as a defensive manuever. Like a wall of herself keeping her true form behind it.

I'd get sick of seeing myself thousands of times over >.< lol. But you have a point Abriel, a bunch of decoys to lure off any potential threats so the real one can plot a next move, kinda like a game chess, throw your best pawns out and think of the next strategy =D (I hate chess to begin with lol!)

umm.....yeah kind of an off theory. Good research. To think, if you spent a third of the time you spent on this theory on Homework, you'd have straight A's. Kinda makes you a little sick inside huh. You threw up in your mouth just now huh. Yeah I know, it's ok. You want a soda, huh? A cookie? It'll be OK.

Um... blatant flaming without reason is blacklist worthy.

"Would you like some more epic with that fail?"

1) Let's all stay on topic.
2) Not to be rude, but proper English goes a long way to understand someone.
3) Leave the petty fighting for private messages.

Now to what I wanted to say. Remember when Cortana destroyed the Covenant AI and found that some of its code resembled her own? How could the Covenant get their hands on a program that had an AI code like Cortana's? Captured human AI by any chance?, but that's against the Cole Protocol.

I wasn't flaming, I was making a valid and important point. Just because I'm right doesn't mean you have to defend yourself by trying to blacklist me. I'm just about the only reason why this thread isn't dead you do realize that.

-On topic, the covenant don't care about the protocol. If her structure is similar to the covenant, then they must not be that more advanced.
