Wow, great article.

"As if the imagery of this episode wasn’t curious enough, the next shot we get depicts the Gravemind handing Cortana’s chip over to John. Funnily enough, this is taking place on the multiplayer map Guardian – a setting which is also on the Ark, as it was a cut mission from Halo 3’s campaign where John would enter the forest and encounter a ‘boss fight’ with a Guardian Sentinel."

I've been against Cortana coming back, but if Gravemind had a piece of her, and gave it to the Chief, that would be sick. This is very interesting. I hope more stuff like this comes up to bring up more story discussions.
