I think that she is still will help the chief because she was programmed to do so. and if the Gravemind hacked into her AI and is using her to send transmissions, he would want to help chief to stop the covenant activation of the ark (or else he will die).

Old School

her aligance is to humanity no matter how much corruption goes on, her programming is for humanitys good, she isnt programed to betray but she has the ability to think about it.

Most A.I. who work for the good of man-kind quickly realize that the only way to truly save humanity is by destroying it.

And anyway, it may be in her program... but you know.. reprogramming.

She might not willingly be betraying them at all. If her program has become corrupted or she is going rampant (AI's have a life span of 7 years before they go mad and think themselves to death) then it could part of the error that causes her to. Or she might not outwardly betray humanity, just stop helping them to persue her own interests.

Of course she won't.I am thinking of something else...That Cortana will be placed in a human-created human body and she'll maybe marry Masterchief

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think that she is going rampant (go play Marathon, an older Bungie game - it even had MJOLNIR, cyborgs, and Forerunner-like creatures in it ;))

I have a question -- why do they add the ambience from 343 Guilty Spark, Flood gurgles and all as soon as they bring up Cortana in the Trailer Documentary?

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:

"Your" poet Elliot? Cortana is associated with the humans (she even came from a human's flash-cloned brain) so why would she refer to him as "your"?

I believe this is Gravemind speaking.

It depend on what you mean when you say "turn against."

If you mean she now is loyal to the flood/covenant and wants everyone dead, then no, I don;t think that will happen. However, Cortana's first priority is the success of "The Mission." She will sacrifice John if it means completing the mission.

Ah, but if you truly understood Rampancy, you would know that she was built Rampant.

She will go berzerk after 7 years.

I believe that she will go absolutely bezerk about half way or just before but then turn to good at the end. That would make the plot interesting. A little time fighting against her and a little time fighting along side her.
