The only reason they don't is because no one makes them for macs.

She learns something, she learns a lot and she isn't working as fast as she usually can cause what she has found out takes up so much memory (just like halo books after halo explodes). What she found out also made her troubled :S

lol i dunno, just wait for the game to come out

See, the thing is, we don't know it is even cortana at all. It could be a grave,mmind impersination of her for all we know. Perhaps Gravemind figured it out, copied cortana, and then she escaped/ was destroyed.

To play or not to play....

"I will ask and you will answer" ...

That one line says it all.

This is the last thing we hear the Gravemind saying to Cortana right before she says "Ok, Shoot."

But the line is more than it seems. The Gravemind is very confident when he says it. The line seems more a point of fact than any kind of question/idea/discussion. If the GM can control the Monitor of Delta Halo then you can bet your bottom dollar Cortana will be no problem at all. Cortana couldn't control GS even from inside the Halo 04 data base. It seems Cortana may have met her match. Even if she survives and defeats the Gravemind maybe she is severely damaged and possibly corrupted.

YOu think Gravemind is stronger than Cortana? i'd say that's up to debate.

Ok, here is one thing i am thinking about. cortanan is a computer based AI. it seemed to me in the game that the gravemind was a living thing. cause it stated it listened through rock and metal. now how is it that a real object can controll a computer based AI. i dont think the gravemind has any way to control cortana, she seems smarter than that.
thats my take on this subject. doubt its right but oh well.

He could have infiltrated high charity before her, and set a trap.

I think the gravemind is the leader of the flood and he doesnt want halo activated b/c he doesnt want to have his flood killed, and i think it was cortana it didnt say that Master Chief heard her, she was just talking.
two betrayals halo ce mc:the flood is spreading we need to activate halo with the index cortana :you mean this mc:yes cortana:halo dosen't kill the flood it kills their food humans covenant whatever we are all equally eatable that proves the flood can't be killed by halo's activation

I was watching the H3 trailer over and over again when i heard cortana say "I know your past and your future." Wut if this is Cortana talking but its not really her talking, because Cortana was made directly from Dr. Halseys cloned brain, At times Dr. Halsey might be able to somehow communicate through Cortana, but on the first and second halo she couldn't communicate because cortana was out of range. but now she somehow found a way to talk through cortana even though she is still on the Halo. Maybe the secret mission she is on with the other spartans had her somehow "defying gods and demons." Also Dr. Halsey should know the Master chiefs past because she was with him all through training ever sence he was 6("I know your past and future") but I dont know how she would know his future unless the secret mission led her to an artifact that can see in the future. Also this would explain why the voice is all messsed up because its transmitting from far far away. What do you think?


She can't, she does know his past and his future, so does Cortana, since Cortana is cloned of Dr. Halseys brain.
She can't be communicated through, she is an entity herself, you can't communicate through Cortana.

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

Sorry too lazy to type my theory agian.

But thats just me.

Halo lasted a week. About a month before halo 2, then about another week.

They were on Halo 04 for about three days.

It's safe to assume Cortana is under Gravemind's control. Not like Gravemind and Cortana get along like chums after the very ending and he asks "Hey, what's up? You wanna get something to eat, cause I'm starving!" "When was the last time I ate? Oh, I forgot..about 100000 years ago.".
