Main Chief Meets Cortana

Admiral Margaret Parangosky (Shabana Azmi) employs Dr. Miranda Keyes (Olive Greyness) to examine the artifact, while Halsey (Natascha McElhone) does the same but with the help of the clone version of Cortana, who assembles information technology slice-by-slice while learning about the purpose of her A.I. version that will be inserted into Master Primary. And then we get to see the questionable part of Halsey's Cortana program (something that Parangosky keeps lament about) as Halsey literally kills the clone, extracts her consciousness, dissolves the clone'due south body, and and so installs the digital version of Cortana (Jen Taylor) into Primary Chief. As before long as Cortana comes to life in holographic form, she asks about the extent to which she'll be able to "command" Master Chief and augment his ability to fight efficiently. Halsey curbs Cortana's enthusiasm and tells her to have things slow so every bit not to alert Master Chief about Cortana'southward existent purpose.

Subsequently Principal Principal/John awakens, he is subjected to a test with the artifact by Halsey and then equally to judge what exactly happened. During that procedure, John sees the same vision of the aforementioned picnic, the same man, adult female, and canis familiaris, and the same sketches that he has been seeing every single time. Merely it's also revealed that John's conscious land is paramount to the activation of the antiquity. If Cortana takes over John completely, then the artifact won't piece of work, thereby putting a dent in Halsey and Cortana's plans to let Cortana fully command John. Following that, we see John trying to shake off the experience past reintegrating with his Spartan team. However, even that is sullied by Cortana'due south appearance as she tries to familiarize herself with the team.

'Halo' Episode 3 Catastrophe Explained – Is Cortana And Halsey Really Helping Master Principal?

In the final 15 minutes of "Halo" episode 3, Master Chief is plant locating the planet that looks the most like the ones in his visions. Cortana offers assist. Master Chief rejects Cortana. Eventually, Master Master gives up and describes the details of his vision to Cortana. This allows Cortana to narrow down Master Primary's search to a few planets. When that's cross-checked with the planets Master Primary has been on a mission; he comes to the conclusion that the 1 he'south looking for is Mamore. Just that brings up some other problem: Primary Principal's lack of emotion, something that he realizes yet once more after failing to experience annihilation upon remembering a fellow Spartan'southward death on Mamore. And Main Master is reminded yet over again, once by Soren and now by Cortana, that that's considering of the pellet inside him that suppresses his feelings and accentuates his battle focus. Master Chief chucks every protocol downward the drain and decides to take the pellet out so that he can experience something.

Equally soon equally Primary Chief starts to think for himself, Cortana notifies Halsey, thereby showing that all her signs of friendship are only an act and a way to win Main Chief's trust. Moreover, although Cortana is concerned with the rules that Master Principal is breaking past taking out his emotion-suppressing pellet, Halsey comes beyond as someone who is more diabolical as she suggests Cortana to help Master Chief in guild to become on his proficient side. In addition to that, Halsey feels that fully opening upward Master Chief's mind volition allow her to get more than answers about his connection to the artifact. And technically, that'due south what happens. Subsequently removing the pellet, Master Principal goes on a stroll to experience the various flavors of normal life, but to return to the antiquity, actuate it, and trigger his visions. And he'southward convinced that as a kid, he drew sketches of a second artifact that's buried on a planet with water ice rings effectually it. Cortana helps her to locate it (the planet'due south called Eridanus II).

While learning about Eridanus Two, Chief Primary inquires why it's uninhabited. Cortana informs Main Chief that it was because of a plague that the UNSC was forced to quarantine the unabridged planet to contain the spread of the virus, thereby probably killing Chief Master'due south parents. Master Chief is conspicuously non satisfied with that hypothesis and decides to visit Eridanus Ii and learn more about the 2d artifact and his origins. Halsey feigns ignorance about Principal Chief's mission (because Cortana is constantly reporting to Halsey), and she volunteers to assist Master Primary on his trip to Eridanus 2. It's pretty clear she has no interest in Master Main'southward spiritual journey. She but wants first-hand information on the artifact and how Master Chief can be used to control it. So, to answer the question, are Cortana and Halsey on Master Chief's side or against him? No, they aren't. They are only pretending to exist helpful to employ Master Chief to farther their objectives. And since it seems like Cortana has more of a conscience than Halsey, we can merely hope that she wakes up to Master Chief's exploitation and warns him.
