Come on people. Tell me how a hologram can reproduce, and maybe I'll listen.
PS--....Please tell me you guys know that a fetus cannot be in the stomach...
Quoted verbatim from my earlier post, as everyone posting in this topic seems unable to read:
Since absolutely no one is defending the topic starter, I think I'll make a devil's advocate argument for him.
First, Cortana cannot become "pregnant" in the human sense, because she is an AI. This is obvious. However, she (theoretically) could become the AI equivalent of such. The key lies in the duplication code she obtained from the Covenant AI in First Strike . When a copy is generated quickly, there are flaws and bugs in the code. If Cortana was to make a copy, but hold on to it so she could recheck the code to root out bugs, which could be called the equivalent of pregnant. To take it a step further, she could even manipulate personality routines, ethics, and so on, to create a whole new AI, bringing her even closer to a parallel of human pregnancy.
Secondly, she could change the appearance of her hologram anytime she likes, as a perk of being an AI. She can definitely do this, despite being a smart AI based on Halsey; look how her hair and facial features change between the first two games. So, she could make her hologram look pregnant anytime she wanted; all the same, she could also duplicate the new AI I described above, and give no outward hint of it.
Oh, and for all you that intend to flame me over this (and I know some idiot will), I am NOT saying that Cortana will be "pregnant" in H3!
