I have seen numerous replies in threads that Cortana recieved information about the Forerunners and the Halo rings when her fragment was with Dr. Halsey (Halo: Reach) and that she put in the co-ordinates to the Alpha Halo when the Pillar of Autumn left Reach.

And yet Keyes says that they made a blind jump.


So did they just happen to have come across the Halo ring or did Cortana lie to the captain?

The HELL you are! These are precious gifts to me and they are non-transferable! How dare you regift my challenge prize. You might as well hock a wedding ring for beer money. -DeeJ

Cortana put in coordinates she found. She didn't know it would lead them to Alpha Halo.

If good looks could kill, I'd be a weapon of mass destruction.

Yes because women, artificial or not, are conniving -blam!-es.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It's all said at the end of The Fall of Reach.

There's a contradiction, canon wise there because in TFoR Cortana get's the coordinates from the crystal from Sigma Octanus IV, and Reach apparently shows she got it from the Forerunner construct.

Anyways, Cortana put the coordinates in for Alpha Halo, not knowing exactly that there would be a Forerunner installation, but since it followed Cole Protocole and was a jump away from Earth, she put it in because her curiosity got the best of her. She never admitted it openly to Keyes. Not even to Chief, that I know of.
