Heres what i think the Halo 3 trailer meant with Cortana talking:

I reckon the Gravemind has Cortana in his control (this has been mentioned a lot) but i have a theory behind each of her "transmissions"

"I have defied Gods and Demons" I think that by Gods the Gravemind meant the Forerunners who created them, as they created the Flood (the meaning of God today means creator etc.) and the Flood defied them (began to eat them and spread) causing them to activate the Halo's.

By Demons (i'm a bit unsure on this part) he could have meant the Forerunners/Humans who locked them into Halo.

"I am your shield. I am your sword" By shield the Gravemind may have meant himself. He didn 't want the Halo's activated so he sent out the Master Chief and the Arbiter to stop it so he did not kill them and so protected them.

By sword i have a theory which hasn't been explained yet. Maybe he teams up with the MC to help him on whatever he has to do (stop regret maybe but even if the MC does the humans lose anyway)

"I know you. Your past. Your future." Because the Gravemind has control of Cortana he knows the Master Chief's secrets including his past (how he grew up like in the book "The fall of Reach") and his future (The Gravemind knows his mission)

"This is the way the world ends" I'm not sure if Cortana or the Gravemind is saying this but as we know it's a lose-lose situation for everyone. If the Halo's are activated all sentient life is destroyed thus the Flood die. Everyone loses. However, if the MC stops Truth then the Flood take control of the Earth killing all its food and when there is no food left it dies out. Lose-lose again.

Give me comments on what you think and any other decent theory's to.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

Finally, something that makes logical sense.

Yes that's what i thought but what about the lower cortana voice? I know it could be anything but we'll find out in 2007:D Also the Gravemind had complete control of High Charity and may have somehow had control of the thing that Cortana's chip was put into. I really don't know but oh well

ya but at the end of halo 2 cortana said gravemind used them,so i dont think they'll be teaming up anytime soon. gravemind has an agenda of his own
