![]() ![]() While the Chief is in the Library with 343 Guilty Spark, Cortana absorbs a huge amount of information from Halo's control center, which she later passes on to the UNSC. After arriving in the control center, Cortana realizes that the Flood had been released, and sends the Chief alone to try and stop it before it spreads. Cortana assisted the Master Chief in his efforts to rescue Captain Keyes and find the control center to the Halo ring. They emerged from slipspace near Halo, where Cortana destroyed four Covenant frigates before surrendering control of the ship to Captain Keyes and heading down to Halo with the Chief. Halo: Combat EvolvedĪfter the battle at Reach was lost, the Pillar of Autumn jumped out-system on a semi-random vector. The Master Chief handed Cortana over to Captain Keyes to assist in the Naval battle, while the Spartans went groundside, which is why Cortana first appears as the shipboard AI on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. However, this mission went awry with the unexpected arrival of Covenant forces at Reach just as the task force was about to get underway. The Spartans were to disable a Covenant ship, have Cortana fly it back to the Covenant homeworld, where they would capture a Prophet and use it to attempt to broker a peace agreement. ![]() Cortana was allowed her choice of Spartan soldier to interface with, and she chose the Master Chief out of thirty other candidates, as referenced in the opening cinema of Halo 3. The MJOLNIR Mark V suit was specifically built to interface with an AI such as Cortana, which further improved the Spartan's combat efficiency. Halsey's brain, meaning she thinks similarly, and may share physical similarities with the Doctor when she was younger, including appearance and voice.Ĭortana was created shortly before the fall of Reach, and was specifically designed to work with the SPARTAN-II soldiers on a mission to capture a Covenant Prophet. Cortana was created from a flash-clone of Dr. However, due to their complexities, "Smart AI's" have an operational life of seven years, after which they literally think themselves to death. Cortana is a "Smart AI" meaning she has the ability to learn and adapt, as opposed to a "dumb" AI, which has only one purpose- point defense of a cruiser, for example. She is the Master Chief's companion throughout most of the Halo series. Catherine Halsey (The creator of the Spartan-IIs). Ooh that’s a tough one, it’s between Master Chief x Cortana and Steve x Bucky.Overview Cortana as she appears in Halo 3Ĭortana (voiced by Jen Taylor) is an Artificial Intelligence construct created by Dr. They both have long histories with each other, both forged and tested in war. They’ve both had to face losing each other countless times, and always fought so so hard to return to each other. Chief and Steve have proven time and time again that they would do whatever it takes to get their respective partner back/protect them. Just as Cortana and Bucky would go to the ends of the earth for their respective partners. I think though, as things with their individual canon states stand, I would have to say Chief x Cortana have the strongest bond. It’s what Endgame did to Steve and Bucky that clinches it for Chief x Cortana, because despite how strongly out of character I believe the end of Endgame to be for them, it still happened and it’s canon now whether we like it or not. Whereas for now, despite how messy things got in Halo 5 with Cortana being the enemy, Chief and Cortana still showed how deeply they care for each other. ![]() With Chief being so desperate to get Cortana back after her presumed death, even when it’s clear she isn’t who she used to be, and Cortana wanting to protect Chief from the plans she has to overthrow the universe. Things are complicated for them now, but they are still trying to protect each other. And fingers crossed - from what we’ve seen - it seems like that’s going to continue in Halo infinite, and Chief is still going to try and find a way to get the old Cortana back rather than resort to killing her. Although, who knows how things might end up going. Master Chief x Cortana again, Halo is a heavily dudebro fandom so there’s a lot of “Ugh stop trying to put FEELINGS and ROMANCE into my shooty shooty game”. There are several videos from Halo lore YouTube channels that are basically “Are Chief and Cortana IN LOVE?” that treat it like a ridiculous thing to be discredited, or take it somewhat seriously but ultimately are like “It’s not LOVE, they care about each other a lot, but it’s not LOVE” and then go on to describe all the reasons they love each other while still trying to prove it’s not love as we know it. And I’m just like, the word love isn’t bad, it doesn’t lower the franchise in any way or their relationship. I don’t know what kind of love it is, if it’s platonic, romantic, or any other type of love. ![]()
