At the end of Halo 3 whean gravemind was talking to Cortana, Gravemind asked Cortana for a answer to only one question.If you look carefully you see he only asked for one question.My question to is what did Cortana say to Gravemind and was it important.

He didn't say just one question. And Cortana let him ask away.

He says to Cortana something like "I have listened through Rock and Steel and Time, and now i will ask you questions and you will answer" and Cortana goes, Okay.... Shoot. as far as we know Cortana hasn't created ANY kind of treason....i don't even think she's possible of it....

He does not say the whole metal and time thing to Cortana.He says this to the MC and the Arbiter whean they are both captured.

i believe the exact quote is

"silence fills the empty grave, now that I am gone. But questions linger on. I will ask and you will answer."

"Alright, shoot" *wierd scary music*

anyway the point is he says questions

But nowhere did he say he would ask only a single question.

Mendicant Bias: Someone set us up the Halo. We get signal.
Gravemind: What?!
Medicant Bias: Main screen turn on.
Gravemind: It's you!
Offensive Bias: How are you, Enemy? All your base are belong to Forerunner. You are on the way to destruction.
Gravemind: What you say?!
Offensive Bias: You have no chance to survive, make your time. Ha ha ha.

Still, she has yet to commit any kind of treason. The real question is: What does Cortana know that Gravemind doesn't?

I love how through all the posts so far, the quote has either been misquoted or fractured. So here, is the quote in its entirety.

Gravemind: Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone; but my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. Now, I will ask, and you will answer.

Cortana: Okay, Shoot.


To that end, I do not see where Gravemind said or insinuated asking only one question, I believe that to be just speculation.

To your question though, I am not sure exactly what kind of information Gravemind would want specifically. Seems like he would want to know a lot of things given his imprisonment on Delta Halo for 100,000 years.

I'm starting to regret this question but the phrase showed up on haloism's Halo 2 scriped.Maybe it was just a typo.
