I think that we can all agree that there is indeed a tentacle around cortana's neck when she says "I am your shield, I am your sword." This tentacle most likely belongs to gravemind. Now repeat that in your head. Gravemind moves cortana with a tentacle. How is that possible?

Well, at the end of Halo 2 she uses her hand to stop Gravemind's tentacle from grabbing her (I think). So, who knows? He could have improved her program to be more like the holograms from Star Trek(?). I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas.

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

If you look closely you can see the tentacle. I just find it odd that gravemind can touch her. Don't see why she would move in reaction to it when she could just avoid it.

In halo one she hold the index in her hand maybe she can touch object as much as they can touch her.

yeah actually at around 32 seconds.. when she starts saying i.. it "looks" like "somthing" touches her right shoulder (to our left) and cortana looks to her shoulder in acknoledgment of its presence...


anyone else see this? or is it just that the screen gets all fuzzy and im crazy?

I am...whimsical today.

I thought it was just a gesture, altho the holodrones that the Heretic Leader used were very solid. Maybe Covenant holographic technology is solid?

As for interfacing with her, I assume he's doing it the same way he did with 2401 PT

Yeah, i had to watch it a few times before i actually saw the tentacle. During 00:30 - 00:32 you can see if you look very clearly a tentacle moving around cortana's neck, and just when it's all the way wrapoped up around her your hear the disturbing 'demons'. Wich is also clearly the gravemind speaking.

It is known that holographic A.I.'s can manipulate physical objects to an extent. Is it impossible? Mabey in our time. But this is five hundred years into the future.

Edit: Spelling.
