Cortana the Guilty

Posted By: Jillybean <jbean_gotmuse@yahoo.co.uk> Date: 8/18/03 10:21 a.m.

I've always thought this strange - apologies in advance if it's been brought up before.
In the final cutscene of Halo: CE Cortana freaks out. She says to the Chief
'Fancy a look' and then when faced with the destruction of Halo she becomes decidedly panicky and insists
' We did what we had to do . . . for Earth. An entire Covenant armada obliterated, and the Flood . . . we had no choice. Halo. It's finished. '
Now Cortana must know that the entire armada couldn't have been obliterated - because she says in Keyes
'their leadership ordered all ships to abandon Halo when they found the Flood'
The Chief is shaken by the destruction of Halo, but he seems to take it better than Cortana. Why? Because he was simply following orders like he was trained to do.
Cortana gave the order which resulted in the destruction of all those marines. She says 'we had no choice' but in reality it was her that had the decision. Logically she did the right thing (if indeed there was no other option) but she sounds soooooo freaked at that bit.
Anyone else got something to say?
