[[CINCONI]] [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]]'s personal assistant AI, [[Black-Box]], received advanced warning of Cortana's plan to take over the planet. Instead of allying himself with her, however, he instead chose to pass along his knowledge to Osman, who in turn shared it with [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] as well.  
In [[2557#July|July of 2557]], the artificial intelligence construct known as [[Cortana]] was thought lost, having sacrificed herself to save [[Spartan]] [[John-117]] from the destruction of the [[Mantle's Apporach]] above Earth. However, the heart of the ship conducted an slipspace jump to the artificial [[Forerunner]] [[Builder]] world of [[Genesis]], and there those fragments of Cortana that remained within the ship found access to the [[Domain]]. For many months following, Cortana and the [[Promethean]] construct, the [[Warden Eternal]], conversed and planned. In time, Cortana became convinced that AIs were meant to succeed Forerunners in holding the [[Mantle of Responsibility]] over all life in the galaxy. By October of 2558, she and the Warden, as well as other AIs, began to put their plans into motion. They aspired to take control of the galaxy in order to prevent wars and to ensure prosperity, but only for those who would go along with their vision of the future. Earth, naturally, was a key target for pacification. [[CINCONI]] [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]]'s personal assistant AI, [[Black-Box]], received advanced warning of Cortana's plan to take over the planet. Instead of allying himself with her, however, he instead chose to pass along his knowledge to Osman, who in turn shared it with [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] as well. Pursuant to Article 55 of [[UNSC Regulation 12-14572]], Black-Box and all of the other AIs within [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] were deactivated, secured for transport, and prepared for final dispensation.
