If you hear Keyes in the beginning, he says "I'm initiating COLE protocol level 3" or
something.
Then he explaines that any ship or shipboard A.I cannot fall into enemy hands, thats why he crashes the Pillar of Autumn and gives cortanna to master chief, so the covies cant learn where earth is.
COLE protocol is a protocol saying that even if it means a blind jump into space, you have to keep any human information out of the covies hands. just get to where key's is on the bridge and listen closely to what he says
