This seems to be happening frequently.
Recall the first instance here, and a couple of threads away from yours here

Should we merge threads, so that we can take a closer look at a sequence of these files, and try to make some connections?

Or no?

I'd at least merge the 2 concurrent threads. Not sure about dredging up the old puzzle thread.

I've merged two similar topics, so maybe we can look at several .wavs and see if we can pull out a little more information from Durga .wavs ...

People make my head hurt.

Rani can't be Durga's AI doner. DURGA IS OBSERVING RANI!

Yasmine probably was stolen for SPII program, then her body fails (remember J^2 mentioning the people with the bones like pretzels, Yasmine, in all likelyhood, didn't survive the program) so what do they do with the brain of this militarily trained near-super-human? Throw it in the AI machine thats what!

I don't mean to be rude, but really, the above spec has a long track record, that has yet to be disproven by new info, see below link.

A couple of things I wanted to point out from The Fall of Reach.

In the first edition of the book on page 236, it explains that Cortana was formed not from a flash-cloned brain from Dr. Halsey, "At Dr. Halsey's insistence, ONI had arranged to have her own brain carefully cloned and her memories flash-transfered to the receptible organs. "

That is not the same as flash-cloning a brain for an A.I.

Also, and I can't find the correct quotation from the book at the moment, but at one point in The Fall of Reach, it says something along the lines of, "and A.I.s, like officers, were in short supply," suggesting that the UNSC may resort to somewhat extreme measures to obtain healthy brains for A.I.s to fight the Covenant.

Archon: Refer to the point where Keyes takes the Iroquis out, pg138. That's where it's mentioned.

It's also mentioned that initially, the PoA had *two* AIs - did anybody else spot that in Fall of Reach? Keyes is told that Cortana is online, and that they have their own AI for controlling other things like the 50mm Point Defence weapons. (I dislike how they call them "single ships" in Halo, instead of "fighters" like they should be. Razz

.. anyway..)

We never recovered or destroyed the second one in Halo - could that be how the Covenant located Earth? Ooopsies on Keyes/MCs part.

I Believe that was covered in "the flood" (halo book). but thats only because it came up somewhere else and I cant find it yet. but, anyhow.. the Other AI coordinated with all those marines and etc from the PoA while on halo, but was still destroyed in the destruction of Halo. Anyone have links?

.. I think you're thinking of Wellesly, and he was Silva and the Marine's "dumb" AI.. which is why Silva was worried that he wouldn't be able to fly the TaR off of Halo without Cortana - which proved to be, sadly, unecessary. (Did you feel sorry for McKay? I did. Sad

)
