In the novels it says that all AIs have an operational life of 7 years. It also says that Cortana was worried that because she took so much information from Halo that her lifespan was decreased. Will her age even matter in Halo 3? Does she sound messed up in the trailer because she is nearing her end or because Gravemind has possesed her or both?

Cortana
It is a blurred line that lies at the edge of Godhood and Insanity. Guess which side of it I am on.


The real enemy in Gears of War.

The legend of Croatoan

The books say she is approaching her 7 year point.

That's actually a really good idea. I never thought of that. That would make a lot of sense why in the trailer it took a little while for Gravemind to mask his voice. He was just getting comfortable in her "body".

Also, whats with the mumber seven? We all know that 7 is a holy number. It is used a heck of a lot in the Bible. Could this have anything to do with an AIs (Cortana in particular) life span? Just speculating.
