People also seem to be forgetting that she's effectively half ancilla; remember [i]Reach[/i]? That fragment of Cortana you're delivering to the [i]Autumn[/i] is Forerunner. Normal rules don't apply. Cortana will be back, and she'll be better than ever.[/quote] Or maybe Cortana is actually dead, rather than pulling a fairly obvious plot twist and have survive by sheltering in Didact's armour. The debate on whether or not she survived is for another thread, but until it is proven otherwise, there is no proof that Cortana survived, only speculation. Where was it stated that Cortana is half Forerunner? I remember the generally consensus being that Cortana was merely studying the installation. Studying it would hardly make Cortana half-Ancilla.
