I don't know if somebody else has posted this before, but please don't expect me to read through all of the pages. Anyways, I think each one of the statements that Cortana says is said by a different person. I think that the first one is made by Gravemind (I have defied Gods and Demons) The Second one ( I am your shield, I am your sword) by Dr. Halsey possibly? I mean she did design Master Chiefs armor, and she enhanced his reflexes and strength and eveyrthing which he uses as weapons... I know you; your past, your future. I think this was written by a Forerunner. The Forerunners might be the human's ancestors (they probably are) so they know the human's past, and they know that the Human's will have to face the Flood's wrath and either activate the Halos or join with the Covenant and try to eradicate it/them. "THIS is the way the world ends" I think is the only statement the Cortana says herself. She knows it inevitable to activate the Halos or to join forces with the Covenant. Post your ideas and please don't flame, and only constructive critisism please.

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

Interesting theory. I hadn't thought as each line as from a seperate entity.

Though, you must remember - Cortana is a replicate of Dr. Hasley, they would be impossible to tell apart as far as thought patterns, beliefs and ideals.

[cough[ Halsey [/cough]

Their are differances between Dr. Halsey and Cortana. Cortana was made when Halsey was considerably younger, different life expirances means subtle differences to their personalities. Furthermore, Cortana can override her emotions and personality, something Dr. Halsey couldn't do. I think the differences would be to great given what has transpired from First Strike to Halo 2.

While it was interesting someone was thinking out of the box, I am pretty sure that it is Cortana (and Gravemind) speaking. Even though one of your points is applicable to my opinion. That would be, since Dr. Halsey created the MJOLNIR Armor System, that it would make sense for Cortana to say "I am your Shield, I am your Sword", although I doubt that was the intended insinuation of her words.

Thanks, I never thought a Mod would find my thread interesting, awesome! Anyways, your right about Cortana being an exact replica of Dr. Halsey, but I'm sure that from all of her years of existance she would have learned and adapted new personalities/ideas because she is an A.I. after all, they learn by imitating others. So she might have progressed enough to have developed her own personality, but no doubt most of her still resembles Dr. Halsey.

Lol High Truth, I was writing this when you posted your thoughts so I didn't copy off of you, but you know what they say, great minds think alike.

That is a good theory, I had never thought of that before. But I still think it is Gravemind. Leaning both ways though.
