[spec] What if the Princess never wakes up?

What if the Princess never wakes up? What if she remain imbedded in the system and dormant, until the end of Halo 2 itself? That would be a nasty problem. The single key AI in the entire universe with critical information about the enemy gets trapped in earths information networks, unable to provide its info until hundreds of years later, when earth is already on the brink of losing. Your mission may then turn out to be actually ultimately reactivating this AI.

The flea's original job may thus have been to help the AI in evasion, so now it is doing everything it can to make sure the Princess evades notice, but isn't smart enough to know where or when it is or just how big of a disaster its dealing with. The queen meanwhile, could as people have commented, be a corrupt version of the Princess or even one that was partially infiltrated by Covenant systems, before everything went south. It is now not all that sane and may not know whose side it is supposed to be on. This would tie in with the ideas being tossed around that it may end up informing Covenant about where earth is, but they won't recieve the info until centuries later.

Fact is we still don't have a clue who the players really are and which AI if any to trust, so pissing them off or helping could both be really bad ideas.

That, while is a very interesting piece of speculation, is a little iffy at this point.

And, also, what leads you to believe that this is the single most important AI in the universe?

Of course their is the scary thought. We are dealing with a human AI. If we see that as the enemy, then the true enemy could pose as an ally. What if we are looking at this the wrong way, what if we are supposed to help the Queen fulfil her purpose, and eliminate her enemy?

I meant 'most important' in the sense that if my spec was correct, then obviously, no other AI has the key critical bit of information needed to win the war in the future. This could be almost anything, but something never the less critical. With the action in Halo 2 happening on earth, the prospect of part of a crashed ship, with the Princess still in stasus within it some place, seems to be a likely thing to run across in the game. It could even be a critical element of it.

However, this is pure speculation on my part, since we really have no clear idea what is going on, but while these style games often run parallel to the universe and events in the movie, books, game, etc. they are connected too, some thread have to eventually tie one to the other. The speculation that we are currently witness to both what will start the attack on earth *and* provide its eventual salvation isn't that far fetched. If true, then these are indead the most important of all the AI, if for different reasons.
