Similarities in Cortana and Gravemind speech *SP*
Posted By: Ross Mills [subnova]Date: 8/22/06 11:51 a.m.

Comparing Cortana's speech in the Halo 3 trailer and the first 3 things that the Gravemind says when you meet him.

I....I have defied Gods and Demons

I?...I am a monument to all your sins

Both use religious terminology to show who they are, and the same method of talking, especially with the "I", although Cortana's can be chalked up to poor data transfer, I found it interesting that they only use the "repeating I" on the first part of Cortana speech, and never on the rest.

.

I am your shield. I am your sword.

This one is machine... This one is but...

They both use the same method of speech when talking about themselves or others. They use seperate sentences to promote what they are trying to say.

.

I know you, your past, your future...

There is much talk and I have listened, through rock and metal and time

This one is more shady, but the fact that the Gravemind has listened "through time" perhaps shows something about what the Gravemind can do. Perhaps Cortana can do the same if linked to it, thus allowed her to see Master Chief's "future".
