PLEASE DONT FLAME IF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BEFORE!

in the announcement. cortana is in the clutches of the gravemind, she speaks the quote "i have defied gods and demons.

well this may be part of the story line of halo 3.

first of all the gravemind says that he has defied gods, i think that these gods are the prophets,so he may be plotting to defy them. as the covenant see them as high leaders. or these gods are the forerunners, as the covenant see them as holy.

the gravemind also says that he has defied demons. well in his first encounter with the master cheif he didnt learn his name. only the arbitar called him "demon". so the gravemind might some how try to trick mastercheif.

please tell me what you think about this

im almost certain when he says demon, he is refering to the mastercheif, because the only referance he has to the master chief, is the name demon

There is no evidence that Cortana is being manipulated/controlled by Gravemind.

Gravemind never, as we know it, defied any of them. Gravemind doesn't believe in the Forerunners and their faith, so he would not say it. he may be talking about something else. None of us have enough information to prove or speculate much further.

BTW, Cortana would not betray the Master Chief, most likely. She may be evil for a while, but will not betray him. She was designed to be loyal to the UNSC, which included the Humans and, maybe (when alliances are formed), the Covenant (Sepratists). I say she would not betray the MC because she says, "I am you shield, I am you sword." This strongly implies that she will protect him. Also, if she is possessed by Gravemind, notice how Cortana's transmissions get clearer, and lose the Gravemind-like voice.

in the making of the announcement, one of the guys says " shes in the clutches of the gravemind" and you can hear his voice over hers in the announcement

Well, yeah everything there makes sense... although it's a bit obvious. Did anyone really not think of the fact that the "gods" are forerunners and the "demons" refers to masterchief/possibly humanity?

Defying Gods = Possibly the Flood.

Think about it, the Flood are sort of playing God.

They somewhat Kill people, but also 'Bring them back to life' (Although, the host probobly like to be dead). Remember Jenkins in The Flood? He was alive with the Flood Paracite in him, and he called it "the other".

Jenkins also wanted to be killed, to be put out of his misery, instead, he was captured, and then used to be studied, although then died on the Truth and Reconciliation.

The Covenant think the Forerunner are gods, not the Prophets.

"Gods" can't be Flood. Gravemind defies his own kind? Cortana regarding the Flood as "gods"? If anything, the Flood are sin.

Cortana is programmed to be loyal to her creators. But who's to say that little program can't be altered? She's just like a computer. And she's based off real brain thought, she can think and make decisions just like a real human. She's self aware, unlike other non-self aware computers and programming who do only what it's programmed to do.

Put it this way, Cortana isn't herself. She doesn't look herself, sound herself, talk like herself.
