Another thing for you Phaedra, if less scientific then what you were talking about (great job by the way, I plan on being a pschology major, and all of that information was really cool), traditionally ships are considered female. Why not have a female avatar if the ship is female?

And one more addition to why most AI's are probably female, straight from the Phase 3 Operator's Monologue:

Other people may have said this already but It's my opinion that Yasmine's intelligence pegged her for the Spartan 2 program. Just like how J2 moved Jan around whenever people started sniffing around about how "gifted" she was. Jan avoided recruitment, but Yasmine's family had no way of protecting her, so when the chance came along UNSC swapped her with the flash clone, which deteriorated, and Yasmine became part of the S2 program.
Since there was such a high failure rate for spartan 2s, it's not unlikely to believe that either her body was mutilated from augments/training, or she may have become handicapped to where her only method of further assisting in the war effort was by donating her brain to becoming an AI.

I don't know what to think of the recordings of Ronnie, though. Connected with the Sleeping Princess somehow, they'll reveal I'm sure.

Speaking of why women are mainly used for A.I. cores... well, it is a fact that men are out of their right minds! Both left and right hemispheres cover different aspects, and generally, men tend to use the left side much more while women tend to use the left side AND right side both without hesitation. I, as a man, know the beginning of wisdom is to realize I am handicapped mentally compared to women.

Too many people to quote, but here's my spec:

First off, I don't believe Jan or Ysamine would have been recruited for the Spartan-II program. At least not the same one the MC was involved in. The age difference is to great. I do believe they were recruited, let's just call it S-III.

Second, not that it's not possible, but we have never seen anything that says that people are recruited (taken) to be made into a AI. We know they use brains of recently deceased and recently the use of cloned human brains (Cortana). This gives further strength to Ysamine being taken for a Spartan project.

And for whoever said Rani might be the SP or Durga, come on... Durga is monitoring Rani, she's not an AI.

avoided another rant because there was no point... ah well

Ladies and gentlemen, I am on it.

I'll try to get the voice out and put the clip up here for you to hear for yourselves. Don't know why I didn't think of doing it sooner.

Will post with updates soon.

UPDATE:
Took the whole sound file apart, there's an echo of Durga (Only Durga) the whole way through the file, but it doesn't sound like Durga. It is different, almost younger. But not so young as the SP. POSSIBLY Melissa, but I can't really tell.

Well, that pretty much seals the deal.

and Another_Name finishes it off..

how does the younger-durga echo from sleep_spying and

[DM]

Okay, now this is weird.

First, Malrog, rermoved the vocals from you_owe_me. I can make out a few parts, something is said about "transplants" early in the file, then later something is said about "on this day". Otherwise it's quite hard to make out. Possibly some sort of political speech, that is what it gives me the impression of. I have added an attachment of it below.

Now, the new Wave files where we find out about Durga. I tried seperating the vocals, but they are 'taped together' in a sense. Durga is only one voice to the program. So I did a few changes, and THINK there are actually 3 voices there, but could not get a clear clipping of the 3rd, so it could just be when the young girl's voice is playing with Durga's. I tried my best to get a point where only the young girl could be heard and put it against one of the recordings of the sleeping princess. Now...
