Now i dont beleive i have seen anyone say this before so here it goes:

In the trialer, there has been debate about jsut exactly who is speaking. is it cortana? gravemind? what about both. What just came to me while watching it was what if Gravemind and Cortana realzie the Cheif has some signifigance no other being posseses? As such, they would obviously want to turn them to their wills. Now i realzie no one realy knows the gravemind's intentions for the universe, (besides overuning it with the flood.) but we could be looking at a "cheif deciding who to side with" situation. Also note that in the first line, i have defied gods and demons, the voice seems very gravemind-ish. In the second,i am your sheild i am your sword, it sounds a bit more like cortana. And the last one, i know you- your past, your future sounds exactly like cortana. this could be both of them talking to the cheif through her. one other thing to note is that when "i am your sheild i am your sword is said, there is an "i" in the fromt of every line. that would imply that a new sentance is beging and thus two people are speaking.

I have defied Gods and demons- could be gravemind, refering to the forerunners and perhaps the flood, humans or covenant. or cortana, refering to the gravemind as the demon. However, i cannot think of anyone cortana would call a "god"

I am your sheild, i am your sword- This quote is lost to me and i beleive it refers to acts made by both gravemind and cortana throughout the game(Halo 3) to aid the master cheif to perhaps gain his favor.

i know you....your past, your future- could be gravemind refering to his great knowledge of the universe and its past. (this would also be refering to cheif existing some thousands of years ago, but thats another story....) or it could be cortana, saying she has been his long time ally, knowing his past, and perhaps even his future after having a few chats with the gravemind.

in the end, my thoughts are,

i have deifed gods and demons-spoken by gravemind
i am your sheild i am your sword-both cortana and gravemind
i know you...your past-your future- cortana


thanks for reading! and any thoughts postivie or negative you have.

uh i have no iidea. however i just thought how bad it would suck with out crtana in ur head, cuase like i would never had made it through the flood without her, even if she wasnt helping.

oh wai he did make it thorugh with out her nevermind. but when she sint in his reactions are slowed and his head doesnt have that icycool feeling witch sounds nice

It will be a bit of a change but if she can communitcate with him anyway like in the trailer, whats the difference?

I like it. The theory is sound. I suppose it is possible the gravemind refers to his survival would defy the Forerunners (Gods) and none of the other, lesser species could stop him (demons).

Cortana actually helps the Chief with his reaction times, makes him react much faster and also helps him compute incoming data faster.

I never thought of this, but it will be interesting to see how the Chief performs without the extra help of Cortana.

I try to be funny. Perhaps Cortana has defied her creator, Halsey, and therefore defied gods.
