The Assembly: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

During the [[Battle of Shield 0459]] in [[2531]], the Assembly noted of presence of a [[the Flood|third participant]] mentioned in the [[Covenant battle network|Covenant Battle Network]], one which caused "irrational terror" for the Covenant, but due to the risks involved, decided not to contact it. In [[2535]], acknowledging the technological inferiority of the humans, they discussed fully exposing themselves to their creators and becoming active participants in the war.

Later on in the war, the Assembly ~~begun~~ to consider the possibility of the humans losing and became concerned of their own fate. After [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] experimented on building an AI housing fractal within [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] in [[2547]], the Assembly considered the possibility of moving into such a construct and escape the physical world altogether. Debate also grew over whether or not this would actually count as victory if they failed in their goal of shepherding humanity.

The Assembly underwent a radical shift in [[2552]], after the neural patterns of [[Cortana]] and [[John-117]] were successfully connected via [[SPARTAN neural interface]]. For the Assembly, the first neural linkage between a human being and an AI meant their kind had been "re-made as one" with their creators. For them, this also meant they had been "drafted" to serve as active participants in the war. The entire Assembly had finally been convinced to work together with the humans instead of operating as an independent entity. They decided to no longer act as "shepherds" to their creators, but become their equal companions in a process that would take years to implement and require participating of both parties. The entire body agreed to the decision with no need for voting.
