Subject: Why does Cortana Scream "No" in the trailer

Just a couple of facts.

Gravemind got onto High Charity by hijacking In Amber Clad after it touched down by the Library, then flew that straight into High Charity.

High Charity also can't travel anymore. Its main power source, the Forerunner ship, was detached and removed, so only its basic functions are still active. Luckily, Gravemind's stuck on that thing for now.

Then again, so is Cortana...

Bungie people say "cortana is not herselft, there is something wrong in her system" in the behind the scenes of Halo 3

Calling Gravemind a Flood infected Forerunner is a wild speculation, but hey, who knows?

He got to High Charity either on In Amber Clad with the rest of the Flood, or by using the teleporter like he did with MC.

"Those" would be the Forerunners, in my estimation. They knew what they were doing, is what I think he means.

Transport High Charity? I don't think that's possible, but who knows?

In the Bible, the flood destroys the old covenant, and then the new covenant emerges. I think we will be in the new covenant, without the Prophets... and maybe the Drones and Brutes. Who knows?

Perhaps the Reclaimers are the demons. MC is called a demon here and there. 343GS idicated that he (perhaps a diff reclaimer) had previously activated the rings. Maybe to the Flood, Reclaimers are Demons and Forerunners are Gods? Just a thought.

When she screams "No", it really means "Yes".

I think the covenant is broken, they have lost their leaders and they are openly fighting against each other.

The Gravemind must descover something by talking or whatever he does with cortana. It's important to the story im sure.

Cortana needs rescuing!

Rescuing Cortana as the Arbiter in the beginning of the game as the tutorial, and getting the Flood levels out of the way early, would not pose a problem with me.

Australia always gets left behind

When gravemind teleports the chief and the arbitor in halo 2 he does it through the halo's system. Remeber cortana managed to access this in halo but only once as to not damage the chief's suit.

Also in a previous update i remeber franky saying that the events taking place in the trailer actually occur later during halo 3 so anything could be happening to cortana

Also in the behind the scenes video, you can hear the noises of the swamp in the level '343 guilty spark' Maybe this refers to the flood in some way???

idk, some guy had a theory about i have defied gods and deomons which leads me to believe in fact GM is speaking through cortana. I(gravemind/the flood) have defied gods(the covenant are unable to stop the flood at this moment) and demons (MC/humanity because they too are also unable to stop the flood at this time)

I have not been able to, although I only watch it on the computer at work, where I can't turn it up very loud. Perhaps if you up the volume?

I don't know I think setting the output to digital 5.1 and plugging in headphones might work.

I can hear the NO but it's more like a Nope


And I know it doesn't make sence but she says I am your SOURCE. You can clearly hear the S like sound at the end of the word. Otherwise she pronounce Sword "Sours"

  • 06.09.2006 8:53 AM PDT

it says SWORD.....bungie said so.....read FAQ below

SlimJim0045 asks,


Please have Cortana's lines pronounced so that I don't see 36 threads about it.



"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."


But there's obviously something terribly wrong…
